Shatel: Bob Diaco's refusal for postgame interview unacceptable

I honestly didn't want to hear him talk after the game.  There was literally nothing he could have said that would have tempered my anger at the crap he called.  We got shredded by basically the same couple of plays.  

Better he just went home after that

Come on "miscommunication"

So a guy that has been a DC and HC didn't know that they media...in a state that is crazy for its college football team...would want to chat with him?

And Riley...a head coach for two decades just sort of "forgot" to mention that they chat with the media after the games?

Did Riley also have to tell Bobby how many yards it takes to get a first down?  

Riley is graciously covering for him and I admire that.

Exactly, well put

 
Of course the media is ticked Diaco didn't show up.  How else would they get their pound of flesh?  I've never really understood the allure of the post-game presser unless you have to be there.  Rarely, if ever does the coach say anything of substance.

You sir get it, I get called out for calling this supposed tenured coach a chicken ish by @landlord  but the fact remains, 1st year coach 1st game and runs after he literally got his arse handed to him on a platter by an FCS team.  I am still not looking for Rileys head but that showing was beyong pathetic.

Cant say he didn't do it to himself with reports that he literally ran away after the game.  It is the media so take the reports with a grain of salt but he didn't speak so he didn't help himself.  Maybe at UConn you don't talk to press, but you know for a fact at Notre Dame and Nebraska, you aren't getting off that easy.

 
Don't have a strong feeling on it either way but NU generally does a good job of making the coaches available. Really the only guy that has to be available after the game is the HC imo. He has to field the tough questions.

Yep. Seriously, screw the media. This is just a distraction we don't need during prep for Oregon. The media is just mad they didn't get a chance to embarrass Diaco after the game. The defense already did that. They sucked. Enough said. He will either fix it or he won't have a job. Do you really think a guy who based on reports has always avoided press conferences is going to give you an informative press conference. 

I wish Riley would just say that the buck stops with him and he will address the media on behalf of his staff. 

 
Diaco's response has me shaking my head. WTH, Bob. Expected better.

This was a Bo move. The only thing "ridiculous" or "disappointing" here is to see a coach in Riley's program being so easily baited into this response after his first game, a win no less.
