Diaco Hired as Purdue DC

[NDRock]

Man, I love Diaco. My buddy who is a Nebraska fan said Les Miles name is being tossed around. Would love to see him hired and keep Diaco.

In case anybody was wondering if Diaco had learned how to speak

Say 100 random words mixed in with 100 of those same words in different tenses, and then ask if you're the only one who sees it that way.... that's pretty much it

I've always thought Diaco would never be a good head coach because he seems so cerebral that I cannot imagine him being a "big picture" thinker like most head coaches are. He seems like the guy who would easily get lost in the weeds and details of life.

This video seems like he is on LSD or at least weed. It was a little scary to be honest, like he would be the kind of guy who would not only get lost in the weeds, but lost in his own thoughts never to return.

 

[Green Mountains]

Wow....really. Can you say cocaine?

Really, the dude looks over the top. Intensity has different flavors.

“Do you see it? Or no?” The first part seemed like intensity...then it got weird.

So you're saying you don't see "the strain?" That it's just something that he's missing?

 

[NorthDakota]

Bob....woah. Hair game on point, looking beautiful as ever...but can't put together a sentence

 

[calvegas04]

Lol I remember when half this board was saying he was being groomed to be ND HC in the future, same was said for Mike Sanford and now for Elko/Long

 

[Irish YJ]

Lost in the weed

 

[Henges24]

I'd still take Sanford.

Little deeper than most. I’ll give you that.... has anyone watched the question and full answer?

Have a blast

 

[ulukinatme]

Dunno if anyone's noticed, but Diaco has been the DC for the Fighting Skip Holtzes of LA Tech this season. They're currently off to their best start in forever at 8-1, with the lone loss to Texas in their first game. They're well ahead of pace to win their division and should be favored over Joey Freshwater to win the conference this year. Should they win it would be LA Tech's first Conference Championship since leaving the WAC in 2011 and they're on pace for their best season since the 70s. Not saying I'd trade Lea for Diaco, just thought it was cool he's finding some success again with a Holtz.

The guy got a little too crazy and probably some might say egotistical but he was exactly what the ND defense needed when BK era started. For that I'll always have a soft spot for the guy.

I don't care about crazy. Or egotistical. He produced, until he decided he was done as an assistant and stopped recruiting.

I kind of think the crazy and egotistical played a role in that. He clearly got very deep into his thought process of the type of players he wanted for his system and wouldn't come of it. Then refused to recruit other players when he wasn't getting the guys he targeted. There was a level of stubbornness there that has to be rooted in something else, IMO.

No doubt, valid point.

 

[dublinirish]

always admitted his hustle on getting Tuitt, Lynch and Ishaq signed that first year

OK, I'll be the first to say it in 2019. Diaco's hair is still lit.

Never understood the issue here,... clear to me.

 

[notredomer23]

People forget Diaco literally sat outside Ishaq Williams' all night when he was gonna EE at PSU the next day and got him to come to ND instead.

That's hustle, and isn't creepy like spending the night with a recruit and sharing a sleeping bag with them. That's what Michigan men do.

Some here got together and mailed him a Starbucks gift card or some such with a note “Coffee is for Closers, Go Irish” for that one,... pretty cool at the time.

 

[Henges24]

Every time I see the Diaco video I think of this:

Just got hired by Brohm at Purdue.

Just got hired by Brohm at Purdue.

So if Brohm ends up eventually replacing Kelly at ND, does Diaco come back with him?
