Pack your bags.
The University of Connecticut’s football program has sent head coach Bob Diaco packing. On Monday, Diaco was informed of his termination after posting an 11-26 record over three seasons with the Huskies.
The Huskies went 3-9 in 2016, and lost six straight to conclude their season with a conference record of 1-7.
One of Diaco’s most memorable moments against UCF was his attempt at creating the “Civil ConFLiCT” rivalry game. The UConn coach even had a trophy made for the game, etching the Huskies 2015 victory on the trophy as the first meeting of the rivalry.
But in 2016, when UCF defeated UConn 24-16, the Knights seemed not to care about the rivalry, leaving the trophy on the field.
It is unclear who will take over the UConn football program at this time.
Stay tuned to Knight News for continued updates.
