54 points for Bobby Boy

No idea why Frost would want to go there. I know he is an alum but I just don’t see it being as desirable as it maybe once was. Frost should be eyeing UF.

Or maybe Oregon if Taggert ends up at UF. In any case, there will be a number of jobs that'll be better than Nebraska. Heck, I'd say Tennessee is a better job.

Nebraska DC Bob Diaco calls defensive performance vs. Minnesota a 'terrible moment'

>>“This was one of those terrible, terrible times,” Diaco said. “But this moment can’t define these young men. This moment can’t define these players. This moment can’t define this staff. It’s just a moment. It’s a big moment, there’s no minimizing it. Terrible.”<<

Yea...it kinda can.

Nebraska is another victim of all of the conference realigning. They used to be SOMEBODY. They a big fish in the old Big 8 and used that platform to go to New Year Day bowl games, which at times earned them a National Championship. Now they are a decent, middle of the pack team in the BiG. That is a huge step backwards for Nebraska. West Virginia is another program that went from periennial NYD bowls to middle of the Big 12 pack records. Again a huge step backwards. Things should just have just been left alone.

UNL and UWV care about moving from where they were to $50M+ and $40M+.

... and I still want to punch this guy in the face whenever I read more tortured BS quotes from him. I think I'm going to need a winning season or two to be able to put that behind me.

 

[traitor71]

They were mocking him big time on ESPN U radio this morning, and deservedly so. He's simply terrible, period.

If Fiasco get fired, I wonder what his options are?

Guess money can't by status. And by that same logic, you are implying that UConn fans would be OK with losing as long as they weremaking money.

I’d rank it ahead of losing both games and money.

You're making my point, in tne Big 12 Nebraska was contending for NCs almost every year and they were fixtures in the Orange and Sugar Bowls. Now, not so much. Same deal for WVU, they were the top dog in BE quite often. Now their bowl game comes quickly after Christmas.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Having trouble finding the actual link, but a journo on twitter said he'd talked to BD and it seemed like he should have taken a year off to recover from the trauma of how things ended at UConn...

 

[BlueDogs]

He's sitting on probably $5MM. He can sit there and count his annual dividends and write "Football my Way: Winning Breakfast."

Poor Batsard - He's even talking like BD now...

Based on some convos with Diaco, I do wonder if he might have benefited from a year to process UConn debacle. He turned the page awfully fast on what he's told me was a painful experience.

Sell used cars in Jersey?

Leaving the Big 12 was a no-brainer. It hasn't worked out for Nebraska because they have had crappy staffs. All it takes is the right coach. The Big 12 is a cluster****.

The conference WVU left literally doesn't exist anymore, and you're arguing they made a mistake in leaving? That's insane.

Things weren't going to be left alone and schools had to act in their best interest. Both did. The performance on the field isn't thanks to the conference, it's due to the coaching and their failures.

Selling bridges in Brooklyn or swampland in Florida perhaps. Or maybe open a haberdashery.

That Sam McKewon tweet is what I was looking for. Thanks, Medic. Unbelievable lol

This reminded me of the clip below. Diaco can become a "Standup Philosopher"...

[ZooCougar]

I agree 100%. Diaco is Nebraska's problem now. Why all the dumping on somebody that isn't even around anymore. Kinda sophomoric to be honest. Besides, Uconn's defense can't stop the cheerleaders from scoring on them so you got rid of one "defensive guru" for one that already tried here and left for a "dream job". Bottom line, if Edsall and the new staff can't upgrade the recruiting the Diaco haters will be looking for Edsall's head after the 2018 season.

Convinced that this guy is some official CT HS Football Coaches account. Still butthurt over Pasqualonia and Deleone I see...

The Big East might still exist had programs not bailed. West Virginia, Miami, Virginia Tech were all marquee teams from the BE and would have kept that conference elite. And to blame WVU and Nebraska's fall to mediocrity on coaching staffs alone is inaccurate.

Nebraska would meet teams like OSU or Michigan or Wiscy or PSU in NYD Bowls. Now they play each other in the regular season and cannabalize each other long before the bowls begin. College football was better beforethe P5 nonsense started.

What is being implied here is that Diaco's ego and his inability to accept the fact that he was an absolute failure as a head coach at UConn has negatively impacted his ability to be a decent DC at Nebraska. Diaco tries to exhibit a persona of a positive forward thinking coach that doesn't dwell on failure but wants the players to learn from it. However, I do think that Diaco's desire to erase the UConn experience from his resume and from his mind rather than accept the outcome and learn continues to haunt him. He has consciously or subconsciously applied tons of pressure on himself and his players to be an immediate success at Nebraska so everybody forgets UConn. In actuality, his years at UConn will be under more scrutiny now that he has followed up with another dud performance. He will be delegated to a LB coach somewhere in the near future.

 

[BlueDogs]

LOL! I can't stop laughing.

Q: What do the Titanic, Milli Vanilli, Bob Diaco, and the extinction asteroid have in common?
A: They all had "a moment"

Classic...

I had a mighty moment this morning and strained maximally right after winning breakfast...

Woefully naive and self-defeating.

You're arguing the conferences they left would have been stronger had they stayed. True. You're also arguing it would have been easier for them to make NYD bowl games from those stronger conferences. Self-defeating.

Nebraska still would have played Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Colorado, and Texas A&M.

WVU still would have played Miami, Pitt, Virginia Tech, and BC.

"The Big East might still exist had programs not bailed" No . But they did leave. Once Va Tech, Miami, and BC bailed the momentum wasn't going to be stopped. After Cuse and Pitt gone, they had no choice but to jump in any available life raft. The conference they left, was not the same one that BC, Miami and Va Tech left. You're argument is ridiculous and naive. Your argument is so simplistic it can be summed up as "well if nothing changed, then everything would be the same".

Things change.

More than anything else, coaching matters. Look at Florida before, during, and after Urban Meyer. Every school Nick Saban has coached at. Michigan. Ohio State. Louisville. USC. Texas. Tennessee. Georgia. etc etc. Coaching, and everything associated it with it from filling out a staff and recruiting, matters the most, especially when comparing P5 programs and their level of financial support from conference affiliation.
