Diaco to Arkansas As DC??? or Nebraska.

I really hope there is offest language in the final buyout. Not having to pay $1.1m would be sweet
 
Many on huskerboard.com are disappointed with hiring Diaco. I did get a couple laughs though:

One guy said "do UCONN fans just hate people with a personality? From how they described them I expected him to be a borderline psychopath. Dude seems cool"

Haha, just wait. We all loved his presser at first, too.

And another guy said "are there any 3, 4 or 5*s he can bring along?"

Either my sarcasm monitor needs fine-tuning or they must think very highly of our class.

Nothing I have seen published... no offset language in initial contract or extension. If it exists, it would have to be in another document, but I have not seen anything by mainstream media sources that say it exists.

The recruits might be 2*'s at UCONN but will be bumped up to 4*'s @ Nebraska

He's in a great conference and he can sell ice to eskimos if they don't google his craziness at UConn.
I think he'll do really well at Nebraska
 
Granted Nebraska gets better recruits out the gate than UCONN, but they have to do a lot of "coaching up" as well. Not saying they never have a top 25 class but thats not their norm.
 
You know Diaco is watching this movie every night

First of all, he recruited horribly here. This 2017 class may be the lowest rated since UCONN jumped to D1. Don't mean to bash these kids, and I expect HCRE to get the best out of them. NU fans think he'll recruit New England and New Jersey for them? Any advantage he would have as a recruiter if you want to compare it to UCONN is the current state of each program, one of which he helped bury.

2015 was worse.

I saw on NBC this evening about Diaco being interviewed by Coach Bret Bielema. How would this affect his pay out? Do the Donors who ponyed up get their checks back? I would imagine this could work out in the school's favor.

Who cares, can his name never be mentioned anymore?

I wasn't referring to Diaco or UCONN other than the fact Nebraska generally gets a better recruit to start with. My point was Nebraska's recruiting isn't a perennial top 25 haul and they have to coach up their players. They aren't flush with 5* and 4* players as some would think. They get them yes, but its not run of the mill.

From that article:

Nebraska can benefit from that blunt assessment two years after the dismissal of former head coach Bo Pelini. Diaco is somewhere between Pelini and coach Mike Riley. NU needs some defensive coach who doesn’t have to use the kid gloves with the current roster

Holy cow. They must be thinking of a different Bob Diaco. All he did was treat kids soft, and he is about as far from Bo Pelini as a human could be. Good luck with all that Nebraska.

At least they got the being blunt part right.

Randy might be putting together a show that might make up for what has happened, and we'll be able to laugh at the past two head coaches.

What's hard to believe is SEC and Big Ten programs fought each other over Diaco. Hopefully, he'll be nice and say nice words about us while out there.

Good hire for Nebraska IMHO.

Yup. Diaco is now back in his element and will probably thrive. Plus he gets to wear his favorite color (red) all the time now. He'll do well.
