Diaco to Arkansas As DC??? or Nebraska.

They described him as blunt?!?!? LMFAO

You know Diaco is watching this movie every night

he won’t sugarcoat NU’s weaknesses if his track record at UConn — and working for Brian Kelly — is any indicator.

Jesus, God! Watch some tape! Pick a presser! Huskies gave up 41 to ECU but 2 of the 3 phases of their game showed improvement. Sugar coat? Teeth were rotting out of people's heads!

I got a kick out of that, too.

Granted Nebraska gets better recruits out the gate than UCONN, but they have to do a lot of "coaching up" as well. Not saying they never have a top 25 class but thats not their norm.

First of all, he recruited horribly here. This 2017 class may be the lowest rated since UCONN jumped to D1. Don't mean to bash these kids, and I expect HCRE to get the best out of them. NU fans think he'll recruit New England and New Jersey for them? Any advantage he would have as a recruiter if you want to compare it to UCONN is the current state of each program, one of which he helped bury.

2015 was worse.

I saw on NBC this evening about Diaco being interviewed by Coach Bret Bielema. How would this affect his pay out? Do the Donors who ponyed up get their checks back? I would imagine this could work out in the school's favor.

Who cares, can his name never be mentioned anymore?

I wasn't referring to Diaco or UCONN other than the fact Nebraska generally gets a better recruit to start with. My point was Nebraska's recruiting isn't a perennial top 25 haul and they have to coach up their players. They aren't flush with 5* and 4* players as some would think. They get them yes, but its not run of the mill.

This should get a few good laughs.....McKewon: Five quick takes on Nebraska hiring Bob Diaco as defensive coordinator

From that article:

Nebraska can benefit from that blunt assessment two years after the dismissal of former head coach Bo Pelini. Diaco is somewhere between Pelini and coach Mike Riley. NU needs some defensive coach who doesn’t have to use the kid gloves with the current roster

Holy cow. They must be thinking of a different Bob Diaco. All he did was treat kids soft, and he is about as far from Bo Pelini as a human could be. Good luck with all that Nebraska.

 

[MattMang23]

At least they got the being blunt part right.

 

[Adios]

Randy might be putting together a show that might make up for what has happened, and we'll be able to laugh at the past two head coaches.

What's hard to believe is SEC and Big Ten programs fought each other over Diaco. Hopefully, he'll be nice and say nice words about us while out there.

 

[superjohn]

Diaco is the worst head coach I've ever seen but he proved he can be a good defensive coordinator. He is a nice guy, I wish him well.

[ktuck911]

Good hire for Nebraska IMHO.

Yup. Diaco is now back in his element and will probably thrive. Plus he gets to wear his favorite color (red) all the time now. He'll do well.

In his defense, he might very well be blunt behindd closed doors with the team, but he certainly was the opposite thru the media...

[Rocktheworld]

Did they miss how the only opponent to score fewer than 21 points was UVA? How the team allowed 41 to East Carolina, or 30 to BC, or 38 to Tulane?

Someone go to their forum and wake them up to the truth

His agent might be a better agent than BD is a defensive coach.

Does any of that Nebraska contract defray some of the buyout?

Not to be a jerk, but um...no. Read ALL the threads on the boneyard before asking any questions.

Um. Have you by any chance seen the bottom half of this picture? I'm torn as to what's going on here.
