Says it's going to take a while to learn the new system... as in Years.

Says new system is total opposite of old system... could not be more different.
He also says that it immediately creates a much more unpredictable alignment for offenses to decipher. That is a big bonus in my opinion.

You are right that it sounds like an awful lot of education that is about to come our players way, but I trust that he is a solid teacher and we definitely have position coaches that will get buy in fairly quickly. He did also state that these are young guys and as opposed to NFL guys don't have a huge amount of muscle memory in the 4-3. They will be able to pick it up I think. Won't be perfect right away obviously, but I don't think it will be years till we see the benefits.

 
Also he brought up how Banker's defense was predicated on penetration... Reasons Banker had to go. I can't think of any consistent times where we got a lot of penetration. Pretty bad when you can't accomplish goal one of your entire defense.

 
Diaco sounded like the 3-4 was kind of a jumping off point. Sounds like he plans on that front 7 keeping offenses on their toes. It may not be as much hybrid as the Steelers, but he also made it sound like saying his defense is just a 3-4 was almost offensive.

We don't have the players to run the new system...

And even if we do eventually recruit the needed players (who knows when ?)... it will take them years to learn it.

Sound familiar ?

Outside of NG what other positions do you think we are lacking players in for this system?

 
Did you not here him say his first year at UCONN they were a top 15 defense? I think his system is adaptable and effective just based on that. He will construct the system around the players we have.
Look who they played. They play in the American Athletic Conference.

And he was not the Defensive coach of that team... he was the head coach...

Of a team that went... 2-10... 6-7... 3-9... in his 3 years as head coach.

Says "nose guard" is critical in 3-4... says "we don't have one".
Well it took Diaco 3 years to get great performance from the Notre Dame defense with the 3-4. I am unsure whether his predecessor at Notre Dame was also using the 3-4 or something different. Let's hope we are not waiting until the 2019 season to see great things from our defense.

Yes because as the head coach he has nothing to with the defense of the team. Point is his system is adaptable and he will mold it around our players
