he's hated by fans of just about every school he's worked for since his success with ND, comparable to how most people see Gene Chizik atp. the corny interview stuff wouldn't matter if he'd been good at his job for more than a year in the last decade-plus.

from 2014-2016, he compiled the worst record for a UConn HC since 1920.
in 2017, he was hired as Nebraska's DC and torpedoed their DFEI from 46th to 98th.
in 2020, he brought Purdue down from 75th to 86th despite a huge talent upgrade.

the one exception was a decent performance as LA Tech's DC in 2019 that got him the Purdue job, but that's a lower level of competition.

edit: remember that David Hale tweet listing the experience of BB's staff? next to Diaco, it just says "is Bob Diaco." that's the level of known incompetence we're dealing with.
I get the criticism/hate for his job as a DC, but he seems qualified enough to be a position coach. Maybe I'm not being critical enough, but I don't care to criticize the defense or their coaching too much thus far. The offense on the other hand....

like somebody else said, it's not like he's ever coached DL before. the DL hasn't been actively bad; it's not like i'm saying he's Tim Cross - but i don't have high expectations for him either and it's yet another example of how poorly and thoughtlessly this staff was constructed.

You mean HC? Cuz DC is probably mixed given that he won the Broyles Award at Notre. Or do people assume that was Brian Kelly's D?

Virginia Tech, who is atrocious and is playing with an interim head coach because they fired theirs in week 3, beat Cal last night after rushing for over 350 yards. Cal is a pretty below average football team.
