Didn't UConn just give Bob Diaco an extension last year? Why did they wait three months after the season ended when all the good candidates would be off the board? I'm confused!

FAU doing some interesting things. Kiffin, the FSU QB, now they are bringing in the Baylor OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the effective date is January 2nd. They missed out on good coaches to save some money, maybe the will go for Fleck? UConn almost looked competitive last year, took a huge step back.

They probably should have hired him instead of Diaco originally anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would've had to pay him 5 mill if they fired him earlier. Now it's only 3.4 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaco will make $2 million in 2019 and $2.1 million in 2020." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
