Sound Familiar?

Over on a Notre Dame board last month they discussed the possibility of getting Diaco back as the DC after he is fired from UConn. There was only one meaningful response but it was telling.

" I agree I don't think he'll get fired but, even if he does, I think we can do better. Diaco had one great year as DC mixed in with a few above average years. Sure, I'd take above average compared to what we have now but why settle for that? Remember, Diaco had some serious flaws. He wasn't a good recruiter. Defensive players who were recruited had to meet a specific physical profile no matter how good they were overall. And he wasn't very good at making in-game adjustments when his bend-but-don't-break defenses started to break. There should be better DC candidates out there who are more flexible and better recruiters."

Seemed to bring all that with him except the above average years.

rkgs and get guys who can make plays with the ball in their hands.

Damming...both ways.

-Smaller guys who were excellent players? Doesn't matter, they're too small.
-Bad players who are big? Who cares if they can't get to the QB or cover, LOOK HOW BIG THEY ARE!!!!!!!1111

They look imposing getting off the team bus. Less so getting back on after the game.

What you call imposing, most teams nowadays call "slow"

They're not even that big. The teams were bigger under Edsall.
