Diaco fever - catch it!

The guy seems to be a whirling dervish in addition to being a D system innovator. Improvement may happen simply due to the force of his personality.

That would be nice. As a teacher myself, I can attest that passion is infectious and aids in learning. If you're excited about what you teach, students tend to get excited as well.

Yep, if it's clear that the coaches are all in, the players will be as well. Maybe these recent hires are kind of a final clearing of the cobwebs for the program.

Elliot is essentially an assistant coordinator for this defense. The other three guys are young and clearly want to learn. I don't think the defense is in a "takes a year to learn" type of mode.

Agree and I don't think that necessarily means jumping up and down. One of my best teachers was a high school physics teacher who was a very reserved, quiet guy. However, his passion and excitement for physics came through via understated mannerisms, the shine in his eyes, his reverent smile when looking at a chalkboard full of equations. Now that I think about it, TO was passionate and excited about football, but not what I would call a high-energy guy. Different strokes....

Diaco is clearly a bit disturbed - dude has some Mike Leach in him or something.....I hope that translates to arse kicking defense.

I agree with the above about this staff not needing "time to adjust." I think we have a lot of young players who are eager to learn, and these coaches are completely engaged. I think its exciting and I hope it translates to a brutal D come September. I would LOVE to see us shred Wisconsin on both sides of the ball and go toe to toe with Ohio State next year. That'll all be helpful come 2018 when our schedule gets REALLY brutal.

So you see Bob fielding a defense that will allow Badger running backs to run for a quarter mile?

Real proud of my Diaco hire, best one yet at UNL.

To be determined on the defense, but I think it will be good. Bo was a good D Coordinator. This guy has a bit of crazy in him, a little bit thin skinned (See ConFLiCT trophy thing) but much better looking hair. I expect him to be quite successful, so my comparison to Bo, is not coming from a negative place. He's an upgraded Bo, maybe. lol

His defense would seem to be a good fit for competing the B1G.
