Reports: Former UConn coach Bob Diaco joining Bill Belichick’s staff at North Carolina

Former UConn head football coach Bob Diaco is expected to join Bill Belichick’s staff as linebackers coach at North Carolina, according to multiple reports. Diaco, who Huskies fans will remember for creating the ‘Civil ConFLiCT,‘ and for coming up with the idea for football games to be broadcast...

I did not see this coming. I wonder how long before Bill bans Bob from talking to the media, Diaco press conferences are the opposite of Belichick-ian.

Maybe that's why they want Diaco. It's college football and they worry Belichick will bore everyone to death.

Diaco was a disaster here, but he still is very good defensive coach. I'm over his tenure and want nothing but success for him. I think this is a break he needs to get back on track to be a HC again.

Yah, head coach of a high school team. Jezz

Diaco was a disaster here …

…and Nebraska and Purdue, and only landed an analyst role, not an actual coaching position, with LSU after being jettisoned with most of LA Tech’s staff.

Belichick must see positives, bought Disco’s BS, or some hybrid.

I have nothing against Diaco either. I have moved on from that dark period. But there are many good coordinators out there who were never meant to be or succeeded as Head Coaches. Much different skillset.

Wouldn’t even trust him being a HC for a youth football team

And he never threw UConn under the bus. He's always said his record was on him, that the school gave him what he needed.
