Diaco says Nebraska will have the best defense in the country, it just will take time. All we hear is talk, we don't see action just talk. Talk is cheap. Who cares what a person says, it is the actions that speak volumes of a person and a teams character. We heard Kalu will be the best safety in the country, we heard Lamar Jackson say he turned a page.... The problem is these players are told how great they are without even doing anything to show they deserve these titles. How about praising your team after they do something good, not after getting destroyed the last three weeks.... Edited October 25, 2017 by timmytbro 1 Quote Link to comment
ScawFraw Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 This was one of the more desperate coaching moments out there today. He substitutes the word "gaps" for talent, coaching, and overall buy-in. Quote Link to comment

I always go back to Cory Raymond and the look at us and look at them quote after losing to USC (Carolina). He also said the guys can't rest on the laurels of the likes of Amukamara and Gnomes....... The guys need to earn the accolades, nit be given them. Kalu might've been a great CB. He's a miss at safety IMHO. Meanwhile our top rated returning safety (K Williams) is third on the depth chart....A top rated safety in L Jax is a CB..... I do like that Diaco is developing depth and doesn't throw the kids under the bus... Quote Link to comment

Yea, I just don;t understand what good it does by telling the players how great they are when they have not earned any of that. It seems that what the players need is to be brought back to reality.

Toe Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I remember one of Callahan's favorite lines when asked about his players' performance toward the end: "It's completely correctable!" So, uhh... why isn't it being corrected? Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Quote "This isn't 'Powder, add water, shake,'" Diaco said. "It's a wholistic, all-encompassing, all-consuming process to create a great defense." Sounds extremely difficult. I had no idea. Good thing we have Diaco to get this defense thing sorted out. I hope it only takes 4-5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Are those comments real life? Who says sh#t like that “we’re going to be the best defense in the country” after getting totally handled the way they have been? Just give us the standard coach speak, we’ll get better, we’re working hard to improve, we need to coach better. Don’t say crap that makes you sound batsh#t. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 If Frost was hired and kept Diaco, would fans turn on Frost and say Frost was a bad hire? Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Riley thought Eichorst had his back for a 2-3 year restart little did they know the Chancellor and President didn't see eye to eye with either of them. The time is NOW. Quote Link to comment

I'd take Erik Chinander's aggressive attacking multiple scheme over Diaco's passive scheme every day of the week. People seem to forget, we rattled off 3 natty's with an attacking aggressive 4-3 defense that took risks. 1 Quote Link to comment
Judoka Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) I feel for Diaco, he just got here and now he's fighting a losing battle to keep his job next year. Not saying we need to keep him if someone better is available, just that it probably sucks to be him right now. Edited October 25, 2017 by Judoka 2 Quote Link to comment

secretasianman Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Best defense in America -- is that with all 16 Blackshirts on the field at the same time ? If there are 16 Blackshirts, do we truly have 11 ? Diaco.. what a car salesman. Quote Link to comment

No but I'd seriously question Frost's judgement in assembling a staff. He'd have to show continuous defensive improvement with that decision. 1 Quote Link to comment
