SouthLincoln Husker Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great Presser, but I'm curious were Bray fits in! Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Yeah it was unexpected to hear him essentially say he's taking over the linebackers. I guess the OLB coach idea isn't going to come to fruition. Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great Presser, but I'm curious were Bray fits in! I saw a tweet where Bray and Diaco will coach the LBs. Haven't figured all the details out yet. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Great Presser, but I'm curious were Bray fits in! I saw a tweet where Bray and Diaco will coach the LBs. Haven't figured all the details out yet. I figure, in a 3-4, LB's gotta be on point. Bobby D played LB and knows the 3-4. I am ASSuming it would be similar to a guy becoming DC who had experience with DB's spending more time there. I would think that Bray would enjoy the help as he is "new" to coaching. Might help him in the future to work with an experienced DC with a different schematic philosophy so Bray has experience in multiple schemes.... Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Does anybody know where a guy can view this press conference now that it's over?Couldn't find it at Huskers.com 3 Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow, that dude is articulate. He seems excited and truly respectful of the Blackshirts and what the program used to be. I hope he can restore the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 As far a Bray goes, it will be interesting to see how Diaco handles different parts of practice. I could see him getting things started during the position group part of practice then letting Bray run the LBs as he checks around on other groups. And Bray would also be focusing on LBs during team periods while Diaco takes a more overall approach. But I could also see Bray feeling a little pushed to the side and looking for a different opportunity. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Good vibes about Diaco. He will be busy. First teaching the coaches the nuances of the 3-4 and then implementing it. Maybe he can even pull a rabbit out of his hat by signing day too! Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Riley said Bray will also still be coaching linebackers, but they haven't yet figured out all the details. Quote Link to comment
drfish Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 He indicated in the presser that the LB's would be together in meetings, but on the field will be mostly separated into IBL and OLB. Probably DCBD will do one group and Bray the other. Maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment

Splitting up the linebackers like that could also be a great asset. Especially while transitioning to Disco Bob's defense. Quote Link to comment
