If Diaco survives the 2020 season, we’ll see his red pants here again soon.
He won’t be there he’ll be collecting yet another checkThe Boilermakers come to The Rent for a game on Sept. 11, 2021. The Huskies will travel to Indiana to play Purdue on Sept. 13, 2025.

Zecchino is from Diaco's hometown <---And he is still listed as 6'0'' 190lbs ....as a LS.Reunited with poindexter. I thought one of the malcontents was there too?
Definitely thinking Coyle... but will he find a second slot? I definitely see him finding a second slot after Coyle if Purdue has its roster in good order....but only if.Diaco's DC at UConn, Anthony Poindexter, was co-DC at Purdue. I wonder if he is being demoted or if he will be co-DC with Diaco.
The only UConn transfer that Purdue might be interested in is Tyler Coyle. Then again, I think Diaco probably wants to rebuild his career as a P5 DC and he will probably focus on players that will help him.
K. Dixon? He ended up at Eastern Kentucky.Dixon is at Purdue
WhoopsK. Dixon? He ended up at Eastern Kentucky.
Purdue is tight on spots. Signed 25 last year and 21 so far this year. Plus, it's not Diaco's decision.Definitely thinking Coyle... but will he find a second slot? I definitely see him finding a second slot after Coyle if Purdue has its roster in good order....but only if.
I just think Diaco is crazy enough to do this- to try to find a home for a couple of his old UConn boys if has a couple slots. It’s only one year.
Btw I heard Coyle has a P5 offer received weeks ago...different school
He got Murphy to LA Tech.Purdue is tight on spots. Signed 25 last year and 21 so far this year. Plus, it's not Diaco's decision.
He's got financial security for sure. Still being paid by Uconn and Nebraska I believe plus a nice salaryImagine what that type of moving does to his family. No security.
He’s received all his UConn money already...He's got financial security for sure. Still being paid by Uconn and Nebraska I believe plus a nice salary
That flag waving idiot we had on the sideline had a lot of "energy" too but i'm not hiring him to run my special teams.This account is from yesterday’s W Lafayette (IN) newspaper article about Purdue’s new DC, Bob Diaco. It’s indicative (and eerily reminiscent) of how Warde Manuel spoke after hiring BD as our HC. One thing is certain. Diaco has mastered the interview process.
Skip Holtz hired Diaco at Louisiana Tech before the 2019 season. Holtz was asked about the process in the spring and highlighted Diaco's energy and passion as two areas that stood out.
“It’s one of the things he brings. When Bob and sat down in that first interview at the coaches convention, we talked about meeting at 8am and I had set another one at 9:30 and another at 11. I had about three or four interviews lined up,” Holtz told the Monroe News Star in March. "At 12 o’clock, I was still sitting there with coach Diaco. I think he’s a really good football coach, I think he’s incredibly smart and knowledgeable. But he’s also got great energy out on the field and I think the players are feeding off that energy.
“The energy and passion he had after four hours into the interview and his knowledge of what he wants to do with the defense really impressed me. I knew at that time he was the right guy for the position. He was my first interview and after that, my mind was made up.”
