I don't remember what Purdue has been running for a defense. IF it was a 3-4 you might be alright initially. It's hard to know what the hell was going on with Diaco at NU because the situation was so dysfunctional. He inherited a team who had never played in a 3-4 and a staff who had never coached it. On top of that his mentor and a guy who was helping install it at NU died. The STRAIN was unbearable. Diaco sure seemed like a train wreck at NU but I'm not sure his tenure here would be a fair synopsis of his ability to be a DC.I've head a lot of things from Snake Oil Salesman to Riley's fall-guy and everything in between.

Id also like to add that the culture here wasnt probably what it needed to be to expect it to succeed in 1 year. See Scott Frost's first 2 years here..I don't remember what Purdue has been running for a defense. IF it was a 3-4 you might be alright initially.

This sums it up very well.Dude is crazy as heck and a media soundbite machine, but I wish him no ill will. Has been successful at other stops and was put into a tough situation here. Hope he does a great job 11 games of every season for you.
Many husker fans don't like him, mainly because his D sucked his very short time here. However, when looking at his whole body of work throughout his coaching career, he seems to have success. I think the ship was already sinking when he came, and nothing he or anyone could have done to fix it. I bet he succeeds at Purdue.I've head a lot of things from Snake Oil Salesman to Riley's fall-guy and everything in between.

Here's the real 4-1-1 on diaco:
He's going to do 2 things, build a table and make soup. What you have to be concerned about is whether or not he has the ingredients for the soup, or whether the cabinet even exists that needs to hold the ingredients for him to make the soup. If not, it's going to take a lot of love to make the cabinet that holds the ingredients but even when he has the cabinet it won't be clear whether or not the ingredients are available to stock it. The love will produce the ingredients as long as the cats on the beach dont get to them first, because the oysters that have Pearls are hard to find and the cats sometimes get to them first. But if he's lucky enough to get enough oysters before the cats get to them, you can stock the cabinet and have the ingredients for the soup. Then you'll need the table. He'll start by building the top and the legs and the top again because building a table is hard. It takes hard work and love because the players are the legs and need love because they hold the top up but the top has to hold the ingredients that the cats didnt take when they were fighting for the Pearls on the beach.
And if you think I'm insane, these are all things that Bob Diaco has actually said, I just made it into a conglomeration of weird statements.
Lol and they wonder why the players had a hard time understanding what he was asking them to doHere's the real 4-1-1 on diaco:

A summary of Bob “the mic” Diaco during post-game press conferences.I've head a lot of things from Snake Oil Salesman to Riley's fall-guy and everything in between.

file this under "be careful for what you wish for" Husker fans......Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.He came in with a lot of excitement and fanfare. Folks were glad that Riley ditched his closest confidant and hired this former head coach that once did great at Notre Dame.
