New UConn football coach Bob Diaco continues to make the rounds as he and his staff are at the Exhibition Hall at the XL Center for the UConn Club Auction and they will be introduced to the crowd at the UConn/Cincinnati men's basketball game.

The staff is on the verge of being completed as David Corley is on the verge of being hired as UConn's running backs coach after spending the last six seasons at William & Mary.

William & Mary coach Jimmye Laycock told the Daily Press "I hate to lose him but when you have good people and you have a successful program, people are going to get opportunities. That's just the nature of the business."

Corley coached running backs, quarterbacks and receivers at various times during his time at William & Mary

"He worked at it," Laycock told the Daily Press. "He really wanted to learn football. He wasn't interested in just transferring his natural ability to somebody else. He worked at becoming a good coach and a good teacher, whether it was film study, whether it was dealing with me, whether it was techniques. He was a very good coach and a good recruiter."
