Strong hire imo. Now we need the personnel

I think both the Twins are more than capable.
If you get a chance read Schaefers, IIRC, tweet article on Diaco's "no crease defense"....emphasizes the element of quickness/Football IQ at NT.

I don't get the anst here.
1. He has proven his coaching acumen as a DC
2. He has the perspective and experience of being a P5 head coach
3. He is young, energetic, good-looking, and a great recruiter.
4. He is a dynamite quote machine. This guy will get more "oddball" national attention than Harbaugh (despite what you may think, buzz can be good, especially in recruiting)
*as long as said buzz doesn't include expletive-filled rants about fans and refs
5. He will be a DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. They are allowed and sometimes encouraged to be quirky, as long as they get results.
6. 3-4 should be fun, let's give it a try.

Huh. That's interesting. I don't know what to make of this hire, really. HC experience at UConn is nice. Sounds like he has a strong football reputation as well from his time at Notre Dame. And his career is young.
I quite liked Banker and hoped he would succeed here. I'm still surprised they made the change, and hope that this will actually end up being a positive addition. I hope that Diaco actually adds to Nebraska's recruiting ability as well.
The negativity about him being crazy concerns me. I'm not sure how far that is though. It seems like a heck of a charge to make. Guess we'll see.

I like the hire. Not the best head coach by any means, but the guy knows his way around a defense. UCONN being 17th in ppg allowed in 2015 is pretty impressive for that program. Plus has roots in the Big 10.
