Wife looked at me oddly as spit out my drink. The funniest thing I have seen on here so far. Now if only we can hear him say, "The UNiversity has given me the honor of telling you that in 18 months we will be playing (insert) BIG/ACC."

Who's going to be on the market next year? Narduzzi is better than Flood. I suspect it's more likely they have a candidate in mind who may not be available yet. Greg Schiano?

I really can't understand the wisdom in waiting another yr but what do I know? I thought RU might go after Diaco after he missed on the BC job last yr but are they willing to spend 2+M for a homerun? My friend claimed the donor money was there this yr when I thought Kelis Fisher was gone but either JH like you said has her eye on someone or lacks the "juice" to make the final decision on her own as a rookie AD? Maybe the Diaco hire can backfire against BC and help push them into obscurity?I'm sure Diaco did'nt forget their lack of confidence in his youth! One thing I know is he'll soon push Dazzy for the best recruits in the NE!!

Hmmm (in a good way)... "Diaco instilled a belief system in a group that was mentally scarred from the hard luck, hard coaching and multiple schemes employed under Charlie Weis."

Diaco was my 2nd pick. I'm happy with it. Wonder if he keeps TJ as OC? They know each other very well. From what I understand, Diaco is a terrific recruiter.

It's funny and all, but enough with the PP bashing. They guy tried, but was just way out of his element 10 years later dealing with college kids. The game had changed tremendously. He was a bad hire, but there is no need to kick the man while he's down. He is a VERY respected coach amongst his peers and a CT guy.

I'm all for moving on from PP as his time is over. But he's still a POS in my mind and if it was raining and he was broken down, trying to fix his car, I'd make sure I hit a big puddle as I drove by.

The only thing(s) he cared about was GDL, his high school coaching buddies and money. .

Me thinks narduzzi to Rutgers next year, probably wants to stay in the B1G and Rutgers might pay more, also gives him more time to build his resume and get a better job/more money out of Rutgers or another school

Tough night for Notre Dame....basketball team loses at home to North Dakota State & the football team loses its DC (Bob Diaco) to UConn.
Expand ...
I still shake my head that we can't get into the ACC with the likes of SU, Pitt, ND, and Louisville. ND State no matter how many teams they have upset should never beat Notre Dame!

Things to potentially expect here:

In his first season at Notre Dame in 2010, Diaco switched defensive schemes from a blitzing 4-3 defense the Irish utilized in 2009 and installed a 3-4 no-crease defense. Diaco's defense became immediately better as the Irish allowed 5.69 fewer points per game, 40.5 fewer yards per game, averaged one half sacks more per game and forced more turnovers in 2010 than 2009. The Irish played in the Sun Bowl that season.

In his only season at Cincinnati (2009), he was charged with replacing 10 starters on the Bearcats' defense, including every player on the front seven for 2009. The Bearcats recorded 110 tackles for loss in 2009 (8.46 per game) to rank third in the nation. They totaled 37 sacks and tied for 10th in the country averaging 2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati's defense allowed 3.6 rushing yards per carry. He groomed safety Aaron Webster in a First Team All-BIG EAST pick.

Wow this "kid" is the one........dynamic, young and as Sweet says it helps he's freaking Clark Kent..........if he can recruit like they say Warde Manuel may actually win some of the schmucks back who gave him no chance.

My family actually is living in W.Caldwell off bloomfield ave but in off season Bob can be seen in a few of the local watering holes around the general area and seems a down to earth likable guy!?! Damn.sorry I took so long to reply but BDs hire fired me up and had me up way too late last night!! I conked out at my laptop exhausted.Why does good news always become available so late and w/o warning?You would'nt know any Ritaccos from Verona would you ?Lopez's from W/Caldwell ?

Geez Mike what would you think of me if I came here on false pretenses? I've followed RU probably b4 you were born("65") or so? It should be enough I really like UConn and 1 or 2 other schools? Remember as an former marine loyalty is important to me and as bad as RU can be(and I'm not an alum) its about state pride with me. When we aren't playing each other I always pull for UConn! I can't stand BC or SU though but really try to avoid denigrating anyone for karma's sake!!I always read and enjoy your posts and pj,dooley,tzzandrew,upstater,conehead,fishy(cant forget UConnell guys) and a few others! I really identify with most of UConns fans and the great state of Connecticut!

I really hope so as CFB needs to get up to snuff here in the tri state area and RU/UConn has to take control of the region!! We'll for RU the only saving grace was the 21 early commit class is salvaged but I'd change places with you guyz in a heartbeat for Diaco OR Narduzzi !! You guys won't be worrying much about recruiting and talent now for awhile and I'm real happy for youz! About time we had good news here!

As an RU fan, I wanted to chime in that this seems like a really terrific hire! Diaco was a guy that many of us had hoped would have been brought in after Schiano left (but we probably couldn't have paid him the $1.5 million you guys are rightfully shelling out). I'm sure he'll help to turn things around from the Pasqualoni era pretty quickly!

(A special thank-you also for leaving ND without a DC for our bowl game.)

From what I saw ND's Linebackers could coach the D and still beat your Rutgirls.
