OT: Bob Diaco fired
"I know this may come as a surprise to our fans and supporters given the timing of this decision," athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. "However, it became apparent to me that a change in program direction is necessary at this time."
I think the only surprise (regarding the timing) is that it didn't happen sooner...

As a Temple alum I enjoy our annual beat down of UConn in AAC football.
Watching Michigan struggle with that team, at that time, was the worst.

Illinois may have smashed that bit of common knowledge last year.
Edit- misunderstood on my first read. I agree, they probably have a guy lined up ... Like Illinois did.December 26th, 2016 at 11:36 AM ^
Diaco was Notre Dame's DC before taking the job, so it's less likely they'll want to replace him with another DC. Fingers crossed.

Connecticut isn't too far from New Jersey, perhaps they can get some players from there.....

For those wondering, apparently his buyout drops $1.6 million as of January 1, so that's why it's this late (it is effective January 2).

Only so many HC jobs out there that can lead to P5 work. Is it better to be in Matt Rhule's position at Temple, demonstrate you can win and leveage that into a good deal at Baylor or is it better to be an OC?
AAC head coaches also making about $2 million per year, also, so there is a financial incentive.

They should hire the refs from the Ohio State game. They really know how to win one no matter what their opponent does.

Like New Jersey, The Michigan Grinch came into Connecticut and stole 3 top recruits out of that state too.

Bob Diaco was a hot name three years ago, and I remember when he took this job some skepticism about this being the right job for him to take. Seems they were right.
