Bob Diaco - New Defensive Coordinator

[zoogs]

Zoogs now I know you're loco for everything you just entered onto the keyboard about Banker.

Won the Broyles Award as nations top assistant at ND.

A dead cat brings more to the recruiting front than Banker.

Haha! I guess. I mean, I just liked the guy. He was easy to root for. I didn't actually know he was so poorly regarded on the recruiting front for a DC. And I know little about Diaco; just starting to learn about him.

@Rike, I can see that argument. I don't think season ticket holders are really affected, though. And I feel those groups of people would have the same expectations for NU football by and large no matter what.

_Woo hoo!

Parella told one of our DT commits last night that defensive formation and scheme will not change, so why are assuming its a forgone conclusion we will run a 3-4?

Because....

 

[Husker John]

Gotta be an improvement

Anyone wanna take a gander at who our four LBs will be?

Roberts, Newby, Young, Ferguson.

I would trust Sean Callahan only as far as I could throw him.

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 situations

Seems like a rad dude!

not sure why we'd hire a 3-4 guy if we weren't going to run a 3-4....think it's a pretty safe bet we're switching schemes. Could also buy Riley another year if the team struggles by saying we don't have the players yet for our scheme....

 

[Huskr25]

You guys are crazy. Diaco would be a home run hire. What are you looking for? Alabamas defensive coordinator?

 

[swmohusker]

Diaco is a great hire. Arkansas and Wisconsin were going after him. Pretty good track records with wiscy and bielema has his neck on the line at Arkansas and this would be a very big hire to help him keep his job. Also he played at Iowa so that has to burn the Hawkeye faithful

 

[huskerfan92]

.....do UCONN fans just hate people with a personality? From how they described them I expected him to be a borderline psychopath. Dude seems cool

Regardless of that, Callahan is usually the last voice to trust on matters.

On this, he's probably right. That's all Diaco has run.
