Still want to keep Diaco?

After NU tied the game at 17 on the pick 6, Diaco's D allowed Wisconsin to have back to back drives of 93 and 80 yards. 18 of the 20 plays were on the ground. That's not good. 

 
Like Diaco or not I think the idea of a new coach keeping him on his staff are somewhat laughable. New coach will bring in his coordinators and likely most position coaches. Maybe one coach gets retained if Riley is canned, but I don't even think that is likely. 

 
Yes--the offense did jack and s*** to help out the defense in the second half. 

Granted, I would have liked to see Diaco take a TO on that second Wisky offensive series to get the D's head on straight...but the defense was hung out to dry by our offense. This would have been much worse if we still had our old DC in there.

 
Defense struggled all game.  Offense missed too may opportunities to capitalize in the first half.  Wiscy is a much better team than us.   Hats off.

 
Fine, maybe I am putting too much blame on Diaco's D. He didn't get any help from the offense in the 2nd half. But wow, the D couldn't make a stop when it needed it to. 

 
The D was gassed in the second half and got no help from the offense but everyone and their damn grandmas knew they were going to run the ball all day long. I’m no defensive mastermind and I was literally sitting at the game calling Wisconsin’s exact running plays before they happened pretty much all second half.
