HuskerNation1 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 https://twitter.com/GregESPN1480/status/819935395815243777 I am ok with paying over $1M but never for Diaco. If it was Venables or Aranda I would as they have consistenly shown results. Diaco had one strong year and the rest was mediocre or worse. Not sure why you are so dead set on using yards per game as your metric to evaluate D coordinators. Diaco, like Belichick, runs a bend don't break defense so the yardage is expected. At the end of the day, points are more important than yards. Ita not just yards per game. If you strictly look at scoring D, he had one season in the top ten I believe. And if you look at scoring defense for UConn last season alone, they finished way down there. I'm not saying that he would not be a better recruiter as Banker sucked as a recruiter, but I am not blown away as you seem to be that this would be a slam dunk hire. If he was just average as a HC I think you could dismiss those results, but he sucked as a HC. Quote Link to comment

At the end of the day, points are more important than yards. Points are more important to winning games but yards are a better indicator of how effective the defense is. One defense gives up 70 yards on a drive but the other team misses a field goal. Another defense hold the offense without a first down after a turnover and they make a field goal. Which defense was better? Quote Link to comment

I get that and am the one to originally post their salaries, but they are making that much because they have consistently (keyword here) delivered great results. Diaco is nowhere near their level and would not deserve 7 figures Quote Link to comment

You first have to ask whether this person is the right fit for our opening, and I am not sold on him. But if Riley thinks he is the guy, I will respectfully disagree with that decision and paying over $1M for Diaco. I tend to think guys making over $1M as a DC should be those "slam dunk" hires which he is not. Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not sure why you are so dead set on using yards per game as your metric to evaluate D coordinators. Diaco, like Belichick, runs a bend don't break defense so the yardage is expected. At the end of the day, points are more important than yards. Think of every championship level defense you can. How many of them have a bend but don't break philosophy? The Patriots have won four Super Bowls using it and appear to have a good shot at winning a fifth this year. They currently have the number one scoring defense but are eighth in yards per game. The Cowboys, who are the second favorites, are fifth in scoring defense but fourteenth in yards per game this year. I'm not suggesting that the bend don't break philosophy is superior to other defensive philosophies or that yards per game isn't a useful metric. I'm arguing that bend don't break defenses can be successful and that the strategy needs to be considered when examining yards per game. Quote Link to comment
