Crocker is a CT guy, played DB @ the Coast Guard Academy, 12 years on the Nova staff. Here's an article by Dimauro from the New London Day:Any names for DC being thrown around?
That's what he played @ Nova, but I can't see him going with that right away with the 3-4 personal Diaco recruited which was heavy on 6-4/6-5 DE/LB type hybrids... I'm guessing somewhere in between, being flexible, with stunts and blitz packages that we never saw from Diaco. Hell Diaco was so conservative with his bend but don't break concepts he had his CB's 10-15 yds off the wideouts almost always...Plus with Randy being more of a defensive side of the ball guy all through the 90's since he came as a DC @ Ga Tech, I would think he'd have more to say regarding the D. But if it's a younger version of Don " Dr. Blitz" Brown.... I'm down..... instead of Diaco's D that he'd rather sit back like a victim. As I said way above in this thread.. aggressive... on both sides of the ball would be a good start... if they want to try and get the fans back.I know everyone wants 5 DBs against spread teams that play with tempo, but if you can't stop the run(zone read), it's not going to end well.
One word....aggressive...... on both sides of the ball, I'd even take a younger version of 2 former Uconn coordinators, Morehead ( Penn St) and Don Brown ( Michigan) if they're out there. Diaco's bend but don't break D while he's giving up 30 or 40 and his offense ( like PP)which all they wanted to do was play possession & run out the clock until they are down 3 scores has been as big a part of destroying Uconn's fan base since they took over as their garbage records. Oh and maybe a special teams guy who might want to set up a punt return( never a problem for Edsall) since Diaco didn't believe (to much risk) in trying to score points that way...SMH... ( I kid you not) ...just for comparison the Courant's FB guy just tweeted this out to show what PP & Diaco did to the fanbase since Edsall left
I think Diaco uses an odd front( 3-4) but has only one player two gapping? Usually the bigger, stronger, less explosive DE. I like this defense, because it flips to a 4-3 or even a 5-2 for short yardage. 5 db's are great in coverage, but they better be tough as nails if they are going to set the edge in the run game/bubble screens.
That being said as we all know, you can scheme until the cows come home, but you always have to have quality personnel..
Brilliant. Had us all fooledoh and for those who missed it... it looks like Diaco was trying to get fired ???? $3.4 mil buy out from Uconn to a guy who looked asleep at the wheel as a HC....
now he becomes the highest-paid assistant...in Nebraska history

NCAA money like most post season $$ ( Bowls etc.) is pooled and split by each team in the conference, but I haven't looked it up for the females.Blades if UConn girls go all the way how much money will that bring in to UConn, in revenue to offset the salary expense?
