Diaco says D can't tackle. D quits on him.
- Thread starter Archie Graham
- Start date
It’s the bend over defense
Then why doesn't he remove their blackshirts? He needs to put his money where his mouth is and inject some discipline in his D.
They would laugh at him and toss the shirts his way.
Then you can the first 11 and put in the second. You will eventually get to the players that give a shit.
No, you won't. We have no depth and I'm certain they would quit on Diaco just as quickly.
I honestly believe he forgot he handed them although that can't be possible because he sees them standing in practice. Probably doesn't give a rats about our tradition.
Did the D quit or his scheme just so f'n bad that they don't have a chance? We should have fired him after the 1st qtr and had Webber call the defense. We would have been better off. Anybody still want to keep Diaco?
Making the move to the 3-4 and hiring Diaco was another big Riley mistake. It wasn't the right time. This would be a better team with Banker as DC right now.
Diaco is a huge pu**y. I really wish we could not only not pay this staff, but also take the money away they were already paid. I hate all of this staff, and as I said before, I hope they all get leprosy.
He and SE screwed the pooch with the Diaco hire and it's cost both of them their jobs.
The defense didn't even show up to play today. That should be obvious. This MN team is terrible on offense. And they put up 300+ in the first half.
He’s the number one reason Mike R doesn’t get a 4th year. Administration or Mike R, or Sean E fault, you reap what you sew...
I didn't get to see the first half but Davison made it sound like we were playing the same deep soft zone and only rushing 3. IF that was the case we should have fired Diaco after the first drive. Stupid.
Sorry to break it to you..Riley himself is a shitty coach. He was gone regardless.
IF they had made a good coordinator hire Riley could stand on the sideline and smile and done nothing and they could have won 7.
That's not accurate. But the defense didn't show up to play. The players clearly quit on Diaco coming into this week.
Diaco was SE and BD - not MR - and they clearly screwed up. SE is already gone and BD will be shortly. This is one of the worst performances in terms of effort ever by Nebr. D I remember. This is a bad offense.
Exactly...he is a shitty coach. He will retire rich but will only be able to look back on a miserable career.
How can you not want to compete?
Because your leader threw you under the bus after you've busted your ass for him?
I don't care about that. That would motivate the hell out of me to prove him wrong. but that's just me. I'm almost ready to say the Jason Peter was right.
Where's your pride? I don't care if I'm down by 50, I'm going to knock some heads and play with bloody stumps.
Exactly, also aside from Spielman and maybe a couple of others, bench the whole team?
The ENTIRE Offensive line is truly OFFENSIVE!
Take away every single Blackshirt and start the #2 and #3 guys because they can’t play any worse than the starters.
Is it possible to take away scholarships from these two groups because they truly play with zero effort. Even I (not even close to being in the prime of my life) could play with more heart and hustle than those guys.
I hate busting on our players but this is worse than the effort of the 2007 team. Didn’t think it was possible but sad to say it’s happening. What new lows will occur next week?
The defense has been the problem from the beginning. Even when getting stomped, Diaco (or whomever) stubbornly sticks with the soft d-line approach. Never tried stacking the box, or run blitzes or forcing them to throw. It’s not the players, Diaco is not real bright (watch his press conferences) and just a terrible coach.
His best year at Notre Dame he had multiple NFL draft picks on his D and he had Brian Kelly dictating some of what he did. Talent helps. Losing his mentor this summer sure as hell didn't help him and I think he leaned pretty hard on him.
Has a team ever not showed up? That is about to the point this team is at. The players and coaches have given up and checked out. Just going through the motions because they have to.
