Not at the end, no. But, ANYTHING is better than BVG ... atrocious.

Was kinda sorry to see things didn't pan out too well for him at UConn. Meh.

I was really surprised he got the axe at uconn. He went bowling in one of those 3 years. It's Uconn football for Christ sake.

Did you think Louis Nix was the key piece to making the 3-4 work there? Outside of Te'o and Nix, was that defense completely loaded or was it a great coaching job? Or both?

Nix had a helping cast with Tuitt and Jones. ND draws good talent ... not always the 5*, but enough 4*/3*+ to be better on D than they have been.

Problem is, you needed to be a Rhodes scholar to understand Van Gorder's pro style defense. It's just too complicated for many collegiates at that level of playing experience. It's sad when the only person (and that's suspect) that even pretends to have a grasp is your D captain on the field and he looks lost much of the time trying to get players where they need to be on any given play.

Want your DC back? Too bad can't have him.
He's a pretty good coach but not the most active recruiter. But the players loved him.

A good NT is always critical to a good 3-4. But that DL was stacked across the board, even after we lost Aaron Lynch. Kapron Lewis-Moore was really unhearakded but key part of that defense. Plus Shembo, Ishaq Williams, Zeke Motta and Keivarre Russell as a surprisingly good freshman CB. There were a lot of pieces. And Diaco's style was bend bit don't break. They went several weeks without giving up an offensive touchdown at one point that season.

Yeah. Nebraska fans cringe when they hear bend don't break. That was a Bo philosophy.

But I've watched a couple games all the way through from the 2012 season, specifically the Oklahoma game and they lived up to their rep there.

We have exceptional talent at DB and LB. Just don't see a prototype NT currently. Diaco explained that his defense has the ability to adapt to the strengths of the personnel. We'll see.

He did use a variant 4-3 at ND some times.
