Xmas32 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Welp, we're all in agreement that Diaco was a failure. Who are we going to hire for the next DC? Wait, too soon? 3 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Soooooooo - any solid 3, 4 or 5 stars that he's potentially bringing along? Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Anyone wanna take a gander at who our four LBs will be?Roberts, Newby, Young, Ferguson. Newby could become a huge beneficiary from his new system. He started out as a pass rushing specialist. True, but he's also our best LB in pass coverage. I'd actually move him to the middle w/ Roberts, and use Alex Davis as a OLB in passing situationsYes please. Wonder how this plays out for someone like Weber. Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Excellent hire! 1 Quote Link to comment
clyde40 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Looking forward to see what Coach Diaco can do. Not sure if it's a slam dunk type hire right now, but seems like a real solid addition that could end up being great. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Young, eager, passionate. Like that Riley's building a diverse team. Love this guys east coast connections, and that we've got a Hawkeye on our side. And - with the scheme change more of a change to partner and work closely with Bray which is a win. Might this make us more attractive to ISM? Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I said I wanted a 3-4 a month or two ago, everyone said we didn't have the personnel. I guess we are about to find out if you're right or not! 1 Quote Link to comment

I could see him start the first part of the season until Roberts gets his sea legs. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think this hire, along with the move to a 3-4, may really be a shot in the arm. For whatever reason, NU hasn't been able to recruit elite DL, even post Suh. This somewhat helps that as we're not as dependent on getting the top tier DE's that everyone else is after.

swmohusker Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I said I wanted a 3-4 a month or two ago, everyone said we didn't have the personnel. I guess we are about to find out if you're right or not! There biggest piece of the personnel we were missing was the coach. Banker running a 34 would scare me. He wasn't proficient the at his base defense and he ran that for 20 years. Some of our players might not be ideal for the switch but a quick nose can be effective too and We have a lot of options at LB. A good dc should be able to adapt to what he has with movement, pressure, and coverages Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 As a diehard Dallas fan that watched them go from a 4-3 to 3-4 under Parcells, this will definitely give us a shot in the arm. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Well. I hope he does well. Fully expect him to recruit New Jersey and the surrounding area big time for us which, given our west coast ties for a lot of the staff, should be a good thing Quote Link to comment
