Rumor has it that Diaco is really doing great things with that Blackshirt Defense. I think Notre Dame really dropped the ball not bringing back the best defensive mind in the country.
How could ND allow Diaco to go to Lincoln?

Diaco was a good defensive coach for ND. His defenses rarely gave up big plays. They usually gave up field goals as oppose to touchdowns. I think he understood the type of athletes he had and ran a defense with bend do t break mentality. It was smart and it worked. ND will not get Alabama type players. At least not in numbers. One hear or there but that's it. I think that's why BVG struggled. With elite, fast physical players , BVG defenses would have worked. But they didn't have that type of talent. So I look for a simple yet effective defense from ND moving foward. It's all about points. Keep the other team out of the end zone and you have a chance. Diaco knew that simple fact and that's why his style worked. It wasn't flashy but it was effective.
Nebraska will always be a fourth rate Big team ..... Outside Nebraska..nobody cares!
Lol. He had one good year that was loaded with NFL talent. He was a poor recruiter as his only big get was ishaq... He also ran a 3-4 defense predicated on having a big man in the middle (Louis Nix) who committed before disco came. Bend don't break is thankfully gone. It hides some deficiencies but it would be nice to have a system guys want to play in...
Since I've been transfer here. I can see your point, but the fan base is second to none. The people was welcoming, and great. Excellent hunting, fishing, and coach Diaco has been getting some really good press. Their offense though will put the D in a tough spot.
Elko was hired I believe before Diaco was fired.
I want a 4-3. It was clear to me that filling a 3-4 is tougher than a 4-3. We just have not developed the WDE talent despite having Okwara and Trumbetti and did not recruit well for it until DHayes and Okawara the 2nd arrived.
Switching back and forth between a 3-4 and 4-3 can cause some lapses in the right personnel. Only makes sense if you have the right players in place then I like a DC flexible to add it.
Elko's 4-2-5 is an alignment that describes the player profiles it seeks. They line up as a 4-4 I believe and then shift around before and after the snap. Elko's defense can start with a 4-4 alignment, shift into a 3-4-4 or a 4-2-5 presnap with no one leaving the field. I want to see if it can work.
I confess my preference would be Tranquil at SS and Bilal at Rover. I think they can mask the problem of using the SS or Rover to cover a receiver the first 15 yards by blitzing. If the opponent uses a slot, Crawford will replace the Rover I believe.

You posted the same question here on January 18. We hired our DC before UConn fired Diaco, I believe. This was already explained to you in January. What are you unable to comprehend? Or is this some failed attempt at trolling?
I wish Diaco the best of luck, but I'm happy with the Elko hire.
Diaco developed some great talent, but he relied on great players executing his scheme to win ball games. When matched against offenses that knew how to beat his scheme AND had the talent to do it, he didn't have any adjustments to make. The 2012 'Bama game is exhibit A.
I predict Nebraska will think he is great for 8-9 games a year and then scratch their heads when OSU/UM/UW roll up 35+ points against them.

Diaco always had 1 foot out the door. I am glad he failed at Connecticut. Nebraska can have him. After one good year he will look for better opportunities elsewhere. He can recruit and coach but he is out for himself. Let him go get his ass beat by Michigan and OSU and PSU.
Interesting he struck while the iron was hot. Which one of us would not have done that?

As true as that could be it would be the fault of a new offense than the defense
Notice that the Nebraska poster hasn't returned? As I suspected, just a drive-by flame---and an extraordinarily weak one at that.
Probably had to run out and spend his weekly allotment of food stamps.
Maybe you should wait until they play a 1/2 before you send him to HOF
99% of the pseudo wamnabe internet coaches and 100% of the Dimwit Sewing Circle were crying about Diaco. Vanilla, Bend but Don't Break. Prevent Defense.
They were on BVGs ock strap and then they were down on him too...
Pay no attention to the football challenged puppet show. They know nothing about offense, special teams or DEFENSE...

You're the only guy who can count to three but gets two of the numbers wrong! Lols
You know everything about being a water boy at Dwyer. You're a bigger troll than the OP. Now that's saying something.
Diaco is a casualty of our new deportation policy. He is suspected of immigrating a poor defensive wall strategy kept insurgents in front of our secondary border safeties while allowing the cartels to score at will and infiltrate his swiss cheese defense if they had relatives in SEC country or Southern California.
And my ignorant shows up having to tell everyone how knowledgeable he is some more
If you keep having to remind people how smart your first your not
The next problem is your personality, or lack of
Believe it or not people have taken your advice years ago and stopped paying any attention to the puppet show you play you are a legend in your own mind
This Florida moron is 99 % bad breath and 1% head cheese! Towel boy was never on a team except to clean toilets and do laundry. He is a fatter Sandusky who can't even see his feet. Lol's
I've always thought finding talent for a 3-4 is much easier. You kinda need a freak d end in a 4-3. 3-4 OLBs don't need to have as much length and height. Also many different blitzes you can run. Think Alabama (not saying we have the same athletes). But if I was the d coord at ND I'd run
DE- Tiller
NG-Cagd
DE- J Hayes/ Khalid Kareem
OLB- D Hayes
MLB- Morgan
MLB- Coney/ Barajas/ Martini
OLB- Trumbetti/ Okwara/ Bilal
