Welcome back Bob!

[Maplerock]

Bob Diaco fired at U Conn. Call the realtor in South Bend Bob!

 

[SALittleGiant513]

Why would he come back to be a position coach at ND?

We already have a new DC.

 

[Maplerock]

How about asst. Def. Coordinator? Failing miserably at U Conn won't open many doors. He'd make bank at ND compared to other places he might land.

I am glad though, that Elko was hired before Diaco was fired... or history may have repeated itself.

 

[hvillebill]

I don't know how you can hire one guy to be the DC, then later tell him he's sharing the position.

 

[IrishInOntario]

He'll take a DC job somewhere. He would be an absolute homerun, steal as a linebackers coach, but there are plenty of programs out there that would be lucky to have him as their DC. He's also a tough fit as a position coach because he's not a dynamic recruiter. With the loss of Sanford and Booker, ND needs guys that love to recruit. They made a good hire in Polian, they need to make a second good hire that can both coach and recruit.

In modern college football you need a minimum of 5 coaches that are dynamic recruiters... As of right now ND has Polian, Denson, Elston and Lyght. Denbrock does less now that he's coordinating. They need a 5th guy who will really put in effort and pull 3-4 quality players each year.

 

[perseverare]

yep: ND the home for the otherwise unemployable.

 

[hoopsstar12]

I would only want Diaco back as a recruiter. He always had 1 foot out the door. Maybe Kelly can hire him as a field turf analyst since that is the only type of analyst position we don't have.

 

[Toby Smart]

yep: ND the home for the otherwise unemployable.

If ND leaves such a foul taste in your mouth, what are you even doing here? Why do you even bother? I know the answer. You crave board attention.

In 3 seasons at ND only one was good.

At UC his defense was eaten alive game in game out

Yeah, like going 12-1 and a trip to the National Championship!

That would be 0- 1 when it's all said and done, but he defense was what carried the team that season, and the only time coach Diaco had a good defense as DC in his career

 

[Ara64]

Well said Toby!

I see the lobotomy did not take.

Are you just a flippin moron?? Or, just consistently a negative asshole?

I believe he is both!
