Toms Takes: Diaco

[Huskergod84]

There isnt a true HUSKER fan alive that wants to see ANY of our coaches fail. If you want to see a coach fail then you arent a true HUSKER fan.

How often do the coordinators give post-game interviews? Isn't it usually just the HC and a few players? Did Langsdorf give an interview after the game? If

Yes he did. 8 minutes worth.

No one is saying that $800k comes a never make a mistake clause. Mistakes will happen. Avoiding the press though is a different story. When the Press asked Riley Saturday night about Diaco not being available he seemed rather perplexed as to why he didn't. Regardless, If the policy is One coach to talk to the media then make that abundantly clear to all media outlets beforehand that that's the policy. That way they can't (or shouldn't) write stories about how Diaco avoided them. Otherwise the coaches who are much more highly paid with the fans money need to be available to the media if requested. Sounds fair to me.

This. Riley should be the point man and be able to answer all the 'big picture' questions. More detailed answers can be given at the beginning of the week; once the staff has had a chance to discuss and watch the tape.

But it needs to be expressed so that everyone knows. Or do it like it's always been done and make coaches available.

I can understand why fans would be upset. The media being upset - makes me laugh. Me? Put me in the 'I'd rather he figure things out than have to talk about it" camp.

Does Alabama's DC even talk to the media? Riley's the guy; the media can pose their questions to him, both offense and defense. And he should know how to answer them.

Now, points to Diaco for stepping up, but if the defense is a sieve against Oregon then I'd rather not see him again until the bowl game.

Don't sound like he even talk to the team afterwards, not sure I get that.

Diaco's presser today... I'm falling in love with the man. Yep. You heard it right. I got a man crush.

Loved the whole thing. Stood up for himself and his team. Explained the miscommunication about the postgame presser. Explained the rationale for the soft coverage on the bubble screens. And took a not so subtle shot at the refs and Arky State for the helmet move that allowed them to get a field goal at the end of the first half (That needed to be called out on principle alone).

I'm starting a go fund me page so I can purchase a Diaco tattoo. I'm N. :Herbie:

I said in another post but it is worth repeating here...

I was not impressed with the defensive game plan against Ark St, but I completely understand the reasoning and rationale for that approach.

I am on the fence about Diaco and this 3-4 scheme of his. How this defense holds up against Oregon will tell us probably quite a bit about what we can expect going forward.

Yes, he needs to take questions. That's not even debatable.

That said, I think we saw a combination of Diaco keeping it vanilla, and the loss of Jones leaving us with some young and inexperienced corners in their first game f the season. The defense will get better game by game (barring too many injuries). Our corners probably aren't ready for the Ducks yet, but you'll see a lot different defense overall next week. There will be no vanilla for the Ducks.

Agree with this. He needs to take the questions. And, we shouldn't conclude the Defense we saw against Ark State is what we will see all year. A few more games will give us time to get a feel for where we are at on Defense.

A very good read imo.

Some ammo when we're talking about "That" defense

That was an interesting read. A lot of things Nebraska still needs to work on scheme wise but players can overcome that. We still are a few good players off from being really good on defense.

Apparently UCONN fans & media are still a little upset with Diaco:

I personally felt the writer (Tom Shatel) is an asshat for calling out the guy after one game. It's not like he is obliged to do a post game. The writer really doomed any hope of building a relationship with Diaco. If anything Shatel wins nomination and is now the leading candidate for the douchebag of the year award. Absolutely low class.

And O! by the way... The offense laid down in the fourth quarter. Diaco kept the Red Wolves out of the endzone most of the second half with little help from the O! Langsdorf owns that.
