Was Jerry Kill’s hiring as OC UConn’s Loss & Rutgers’ Gain?

If you haven’t heard by now, our former Big East rival UConn decided to fire their football coach Bob Diaco yesterday. He had a similar background to Rutgers football coach Chris Ash before he was hired away from Ohio State, as Diaco was one of the top defensive coordinators in the country at Notre Dame. In his three seasons at UConn, he compiled records of 2-10, 6-7, and 3-9. The timing was a bit odd, as it’s been about a month since UConn’s season ended and just weeks after athletic director David Benedict said he was retaining him.
