Former Nebraska DC and UConn HC Bob Diaco Returns To B1G As DC At Purdue

[PaulCrewe]

About 9 months to try to see the strain.

 

 

Purdue ran a 4-3 last year.  Bold strategy Brohm, let’s see how this pays off

I could've shut out Miami... by that I mean my non-college-athlete a$$ could've have single handedly shut out Miami

 

It's what a lot of people don't realize. Miami has been average to bad on offense for the last few years. Going into the bowl game they ranked 99th in total offense.

Well we can once again marvel at what a great coach he is right Eichorst?

I just hope John Cook has a chance to pick his brain this time.

Yeah, they had already decided to fire their OC before the bowl even happened

Will he be there in  2020?

Considering he just got hired and 2020 is a few days away, I say yes

He'll be a good DC for them. Much better than average Nebraska fan believes.

...because he learned from ALL of his mistakes as our DC???  Bad doesn't begin to describe our defense under Diaco.

If Purdue gets good at defense I'm gonna give up on football forever.

What is it with us having former Hawkeyes as defensive coordinator?  Diaco played at Iowa 92-95.  Chins played 98-02.  

 

 

Maybe they're all plants.

My first thought as well. If we get beat by Diaco then I will officially believe in curses. That will be enough scientific evidence for me.

That game went from a toss up to a 45 point win.  

Just need to find a guy that can consistently throw them.

I don't think Diaco is as bad of a D coordinator as some people make him out to be. He didn't have talent at Nebraska. I think the previous two years after Diaco have shown that Nebraska has a talent issue.

 

But he isn't going to have talent at Purdue either.

We need to find this average fan and find out exactly what he thinks. 

[BackInTheDay]

I'm beginning to feel the strain.  Can't you feel the strain?

If we lose to Diaco I am driving to Pender and taking the plunge into the dredge or burning some statues and sh#&.
