    Re: Report: Tech hires new Defensive Coordinator - Bob Diaco

    I think that Bob Diaco is another example of what Skip is good at. From a defensive perspective he has either found reclamation projects with high upside and developed young guys with a talent for coaching. Baker's growing pains were difficult but he turned into a solid DC. I just wish Skip would do the same thing on offense.

    So can anyone explain Fitch?

    If he’s not coaching as some have said, why pay him?

    He certainly isn’t going anywhere.

    Didn't we run the 3-4 at the end of JB III tenure here?

    Fitch is proof that Skip can't let go of the offensive reigns. Fitch is a place holder on a staff not an offensive place caller.

    In the FBS era we've run it from 99-01 and then again from 04-06. We've run the 4-3 every other year since 1988.

    DC was Tim Rose. If I'm recalling correctly, that was a good year.

    3-4 is a helluva defense when you can run it, but you have to recruit to it. You need a run stopper and athletic LBs that can play out of position at times. I feel like we have runt the 4-3 all these years because it was safe and we have struggled to get linebackers. Does anybody on this board honestly think we have the players to run it next year? I don't but that's not saying that 2020 wouldn't be a possibility. Signing day will tell us for sure whether it is in the plans.

    We have 4 DT's on the roster. I'm not sure we have the depth to run a 4-3!!
    We have 6 DE's and 8 LB's. I don't know if it would be much harder to run a 3-4 if that's the system he wants.

    That may be the tell tell sign of why Skip decided to go with a 3-4 guru. Lets be honest about the guy, has Tech ever had a Frank Broyles award winner on our staff as an assistant? He has a resume that was written in football blue-blood. Did he meet expectations at Nebraska or Uconn? No, but neither were healthy situations to begin with. I have just seen so many coaches with less come in here and do so much. I am curious to see what a guy like this could do with our athletes.

    He hasn't recruited LBs since he has been here. He gets guys who tackle falling backwards or attempt arm tackles. He loves to go get unproven jucos.

    i'm pretty sure we've run 4-2-5 as the base set at least a couple of years recently...

    One of my more positive hopes is the Coach Diaco will recruit some solid LBs that will be here for a few years even after he is gone.

    I hope I am wrong. The Texas score will be terrible and may demoralize the team for the rest of the year and kill attendance at the same time .
    Nice call tech70

    Am I missing something?
    This guy is one of Holtz guys who he is hoping to prop up for a year or two

    We had one LB who played football last night.
