Full disclosure, I like Diaco. But he was paid the going rate for a top assistant and was in play for an SEC job and chose Nebraska. There are threads in the recruiting section of this very board that likely would not have existed under older regimes (Bookie, Parsons, Williams, Hufanga). That type of buzz is because of the guys Riley hired.
The results have not been what they should be for 6 quarters this year. I can and should get better. NI is another test next week.
