In Diacos credit, when he’s already got big time talent surrounding his defenses, he’s done well. Not saying we didn’t have talent as we definitely did. But let’s be real, we don’t exactly have OUs star power on defense. So maybe Diacos scheme will work well there. Wait, he’s not going as there DC correct?? Just helping me out on defense?
And two, he was only here one year. If given a few years, I’m actually confident we’d start seeing why he was considered one of the top DC choices out there. Remember our defense started rough, then it started to progress some and to be completely honest, Diaco lost his players...they gave up on him and quit. Now that could have been due to players thinking and/or knowing Riley was getting canned. Now take all that away, maybe Diaco doesn’t lose the players and the defense keeps progressing. All this has to be considered. I know, no one wants to give Riley, Lang’s, Diaco any credit or any due. But Diaco in the very least, had his players all quit on him. You could see it a mile away. And the best DC in the world wouldn’t be able to save that once it happened.
