I was impressed with their AD, Christine Rawak, who came from Michigan. I can see coaches wanting to work with her. As to Danny, he seems to present himself pretty much as the same person he was at UR. He had also had a "glazed-eye" appearance when speaking in public or before the camera which I attribute to his public speaking persona. Many adopt a more detached approach when addressing an audience of more than one or two persons or when on camera. I think that his persona suggests an air of intensity rather than an appearance of being "drugged." I doubt that he comes across the same way in personal conversations. I had a few professors at UR like this, though they usually did not display their public persona as an air of "intensity," which I would have considered weird. However, I do not see it as unusual or strange in the world of competitive sports.
I suspect that Coach Rocco will be successful at Delaware and as long as we continue to beat them, I will continue to wish him well. If successful, he will remain at Delaware for four or five years and then move on. Such is his nature as demonstrated by his past. I think that Danny Rocco thrives on new and different challenges and four to five years creates about as much moss as he can gather before experiencing a very strong urge to move on, regardless of where he is at the time. I would be very surprised if the length of his stay at Delaware proves differently.
I find it somewhat ironic that he has readopted the word "vision," a word he disavowed at UR as an inappropriate word to use in describing one of the major motives for his move. However, it really does not matter which word(s) he chooses because once we understand his nature, we understand the reasons behind his move.
