Report: UConn's Bob Diaco fired after not showing interest in Rutgers OC Jerry Kill

Chris Ash quickly zeroed in on Jerry Kill and offered him a record salary for the job of Rutgers offensive coordinator.

On the other hand, Bob Diaco reportedly showed no interest in Kill when he was on campus -- and it might be one of the factors that cost the UConn coach his job when he was fired Monday, a month after the season ended.

The Hartford Courant reported Tuesday that:

A source -- not (athletics director David) Benedict -- said that former Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill was on campus a few weeks back, that Kill wanted the job and Diaco wasn't interested in Kill.
