Bob Diaco Named Oklahoma Defensive Coordinator (or not)

His last 2 gigs have been train wrecks. Amazing that these prestigious football programs would even consider him.

For an interim gig though I would think anyone who has any experience on the current staff is at least going to be considered so to me its not that crazy.

If a big school offers him a coordinator job after the year that would be shocking to me

Can't wait for the first photos here of him in his red yoga jeans and cowboy boots...:D
 
I'm happy for the guy. Clearly, he did not do a good job here but it was not for lack of effort.

One things for sure. The O Linebacker room will be well stocked with healthy snacks.
 
Bobby Red Pants could have had the job, but he didn't like OU's answers to his questions.
Bobby: "Is Norman ready to win breakfast?!?!"
AD: "I'm sorry, but WTF does that mean?"
Bobby: ".....troubling, but moving on. Are you interested in scoreboard success?"
AD: "Well of course! Isn't that the duck*ing point?"
Bobby knew this wasn't a place he could commit to long-term.

Would Alabama win the national title with Diaco as DC?

He may not be a good head coach, but he was a really good defensive coordinator during his time at ND.

You mean the coordinator that in the biggest game in his career oversaw a D that gave up 529 yards and 28 first half points? Of course since that entire season was vacated due to using ineligible players including Matai Teo's girlfriend, I guess you could say that he was great that year.

Any prosepctive employer needs to watch this video and then ask themselves why they just wasted their time.

BRP: "So exactly how many years are we going to treat as preseason games so I can ease in my coaching genius?"
AD: "Again WTF are you talking about? Is really possible that you are this big an idiot?"
BRP: "Well St. Augustine said 'With love and dilegence all things are possible.'"
AD: "Get the EF out of my office."

Yes that game. Face it, 529 yards and 28 points , as bad as it was, would be uconn’s Best defensive game of this year. And it seems as though Nebraska and Oklahoma seem to think he knows something about defensive schemes. But maybe they weren’t smart enough to look at some videos.

Are you seriously saying his 1season at Nebraska is proof of his d coordinator ability? The 1 season that led to the entire staff being fired? Even at ND, the guy was a walking pile of weird including his emotional response to Mantai’s girlfriends death.

I get that you ND guys defend everything associated with the football team but Diacos time at ND may have been the pinnacle of his career and more a reflection of what Kelly wanted than what he did.

It’s interesting how many here won’t blame the current coaches for things that are happening in their second year in power, while Diaco gets blamed for his only year as a defensive coordinator at Nebraska and his first two years at UConn. Nebraska put the blame on Mike Riley for his 19-19 record in his three years there (and 12-14 conference record). They evidently weren’t willing to put the blame on Pelini.

We actually don’t defend everything associated with the ND football team as the overwhelming desire by many to dump Kelly for his 54-33 record may indicate. But it’s also interesting that you give credit to Kelly for Diaco’s defensive performance at ND but not Riley for the defensive performance at Nebraska.

Diaco and his staff was responsible for the juniors and seniors on this team. That is not debatable. The current staff deserves criticism but the lack of depth starts with Diaco.

ND fans should have wanted Kelly gone after he killed a kid by making him go up a tower in a wind storm, or perhaps because of the Prince Shembo incident or maybe the ineligible players and vacated season. But you keep on being you.
 
The balance of Diaco's career has overwhelmed whatever he did at ND, even if you choose to give him all the credit for that year.

For a major program to give him a significant role is career lunacy.

My Big ten Guy could only get me the limited transcript. Your source is better connected.
