Diaco NOT Going to BC

[phork]

Anyone notice how Diaco sized up everyone in the room and ranked them in order of strength. You know just in case he had to bounce out, the karate chops and laser eyes were locked and loaded. I am going to hate losing this guy.

Maybe you hadn't noticed, but we have had as many coaches as allowed by the NCAA on the road the past few weeks recruiting the hell out of '13 and '14 kids, with obvious great results.

Obviously BK and Diaco, specifically, have had even more on their plate then others recently. 2 weeks is more than enough time to prepare for an opponent.

hhhhhhiiiissssss




I noticed...

I just figured that with the extra time to prepare, there would at least be some film breakdown, discussion and pre-game planning going on. Two weeks is plenty of time, but you don't get a chance to go to the title game very often. So it's just seems weird to not take advantage of every moment available.

I think there is more self scouting at the beginning. What are our strengths/weaknesses/tendencies, get our younger kids some quality reps, get guys who need it healthy, and start oiling the machine then boom-bama prep.

You asked what they did the first three weeks (rhetorically or not) and I answered man, that's all. I am sure there have been coaches / staff putting together and breaking down Bama film over the past couple of weeks, but again, 2 weeks is more than enough time to prepare for a single football game, especially when you are a team that is relatively basic on D (meaning we do not really change our style of D for opponents or employ exotic looks) going against another team that is pretty basic on O.

IMO, I don't believe Diaco's statement was 100% truthful about not doing ANY game study yet, probably more posturing for the reporter's question by not wanting to volunteer any more information than absolutely necessary.

I think this was part of his response as well. Don't think they have been game planning that much yet but diaco never likes to give away info
