Realistic Coaching Hires with the AD

Bo didn't hire a good DC the entire time he was at Nebraska

Yes, I think he didn't want to be over shadowed.  Imagine someone like Foster from Va Tech being our DC.  He has more star power than Bo had.  With a weak DC, Bo could still be considered the defense guru - but it didn't work out so well.  JP was terrible after Carl.

Hey, I’m not saying he is horrible or even a bad coach. I realize he had some success at NDSU. But he hasn’t really done anything at Wyoming and, being in the stands at Boulder in 2001, I can say he had no clue as a DC on how to slow them down and didn’t even attempt any adjustments. If he makes the top ten considerations list for Nebraska, the list sucks. We have to shoot much much higher IMO.

Trust me I don't want him at Nebraska either.

While the offense has been inept, there is at least a game plan.  They may not be executing but I can see what they are trying to do.

When I see the defense, I have no clue why players are doing things they are doing and I'm not alone.  TV broadcasters question it too.

 
^^^ Yes -- that was all to obvious the past few weeks.  While we think the D needed time under our new DC, it is apparent that the players still look lost and still toooooo slow.

Yeah, I agree with this. I think the pendulum's swung the other way again. I can write this off as year one of Diaco's 3-4, but we're going to have to see some brighter performances from them soon. Had the Wisconsin game not ended the way it did, I'd feel differently  -- OSU is a steamroller. But it was really the carryover from that 21-pt Wisconsin 4th quarter. There's plainly some talent on the D, but they're too easily exploited.

On offense, I wish we had more RBs in the stable and a deeper pool of pass catchers. We're hurting at the skill positions right now, especially at TE I think. At WR it's more the depth.

 
Forget Shaw!  That guys is at his home!  Stanford is his home.  NO amount of money brings him in here.  I keep reading that, and that won't happen.  Reality check time again, We don't get someone who is already winning in a power 5 conference.
