I was NOT a Diaco booster. I was hoping he would bring guys flying at QBs from all over the place and be a little more unpredictable than Banker. Wrong. Banker was a better DC. Stodgy. Unimaginative but better. Diaco just does so many things that make absolutely no sense.And this guy is the highest paid assistant coach in Husker history. I disagree with Dingle. His nonsense is one reason every UCONN fan is glad he is gone. People were loving this guy when he first came to Lincoln and buying his hype. However, you should be able to listen to him for five minutes and understand he is nutty.
Banker was a bad DC and Riley hired him here. Disco is no better and maybe worse and Riley hired him. As bad as the defense has been under both the offense has sucked even more and Riley is responsible for that also. The fault for this mess lies with RileyI was NOT a Diaco booster.

I never claimed Banker was a good DC. I said he was better than Diaco and I also stated that MR's downfall has been his choice of some of his assistants. I still believe that Diaco was forced on him and I think there's a good chance we would had a better record with Banker than Diaco. Diaco's scheme is just ludicrous.Banker was a bad DC and Riley hired him here. Disco is no better and maybe worse and Riley hired him.

The recruiting and player development of defensive players in 2008 must’ve been f****** kick *** then. Because the 2009 Nebraska defense was salty as hell. Perhaps better than any other ever at Nebraska.Yes to the 2003 defense but our 2008 defense was not good. It was improved from the previous year but not good. Our offense that year did a great job moving and controlling the clock to keep our D off the field, thank you Joe Ganz.
Oh my God we hired Carmine Jr to be our D.C.
Do you really think he would mess up his hair?
Miss Teen South Carolina 2007 just watched that interview and said WTF.

Probably fairly similar to Tom's sermons.Can you imagine getting instruction from him as a player? Every press conference I have seen from UCONN to here leaves me wondering what he said.
Well I guess it would fit your agenda in spite of it having any type of facts. Riley has specifically said he made the decision to fire Banker and part of it was timing because Diaco became available.I never claimed Banker was a good DC. I said he was better than Diaco and I also stated that MR's downfall has been his choice of some of his assistants.

We have been playing (as the primary set) a 4-3 since the second half of the Oregon game !We've also been playing 4-3 the past couple of weeks. We're not athletic or strong enough to create a push. Our DB's do have talent but are raw and are left for dead due to the lack of push. Banker did nothing to develop our young guys and actually ran a few guys off to the NFL (Valentine & Collins).
I think at some point I should be offended.What do you call 300,000 Frenchmen with their hands up? Their Army.
