Talked to a couple people who watched Diaco's work closely at UConn/ND. "Always positive," one said. "Players loved him. A player's coach."

Gets lost, but Diaco was also Brian Kelly's defensive coordinator at Cincinnati in 2009. That was the Bearcats team that finished 12-1.
GREAT POINT!Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC

That Cincy team didn't need a multi year D transition process.
Not a "splash hire" at the national level, but it's a bold move nonetheless. How is his recruiting prowess?
Uh oh. I hope Diaco does well, if not, we'll be blaming losses on him/players for years after his departure.Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC
"Players loved him. A player's coach."
Why the hell not? Our DEs suck as pass rushers. Our tweener guys at OLB for sure better? I dont know but I like the potential.
It better. 2018 schedule is brutal. If this staff survives that 2019 could be special.
You really don't mean that... if he does well, you won't have anything to troll about.
I think Nebraska fans have become numb with past coaches not firing under performing assistants. It is very important this day and age to constantly try and obtain the best coaches you can. For all the star gazers picture Banker as a 5.4 3 star and Diaco a 5.8 4 star.
I doubt it, more likely he takes over OLB. I would guess our next hire will be safeties or OL, with the other filled when the NCAA appproved a 10th coach in the Spring.

stars don't mean a thing > we should have found a Nebraska high school football coach to walkon as our def coordinator
I think that's a good point. Also, can't remember who said it, but I recall some coach or recruiting guru say that DT was the hardest position to recruit, especially since most come from the Southeast and rarely leave the SEC.
Is everyone who asks rhetorical questions a "troll?"
If you can relate how Bob Diaco and Wisconsin's defense are correlated, I'm proverbially all ears.
As much as I like Australia and Australian's and Foster lager and I used to play rugby, I will be elated to see us actually tackle again. For God's sake that is why you wear a helmet and pads. Rugby style is for when you don't. And that's a whole nother story and don't get me started.
Welcome Coach Diaco.... let's get to work then, crazy I got one more go around left but it's going too be worth it #Blackshirts
And the last truly good/great DE we had in the 4-3? Those come along all the time and are so easy to get?
Very hard to recruit true NT's to play in 3-4. Hope they have a plan in place but I love the hire
They both ran a 3-4 troll. And wiscy nt was only 288lbs troll.
