HEAD COACH BOB DIACO

I n his first season as the head football coach at the

University of Connecticut in 2014, Bob Diaco has touched every facet of the program and has built a strong foundation for a championship future at UConn.

Diaco, who enters his second season with the Huskies in 2015, served on the Notre Dame coaching staff as the defensive coordinator from 2010-13 and the assistant head coach in 2012-13. He was named the 30th head football coach at UConn on December 12, 2013.

Diaco was the 2012 winner of the Frank Broyles Award, given to the top assistant college football coach in the country and was a semifinalist for the award in 2011.

Diaco joined the Notre Dame staff in 2010 as defensive coordinator and inside linebacker coach, took responsibility for the entire linebacker position in 2011 and added responsibilities as associate head coach in 2012.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked among the top 10 in the Football Bowl Subdivision in 12 different categories as the school played in the BCS National Championship Game and posted an overall record of 12-1.

“When I met Bob and we discussed this opportunity, I was tremendously impressed by how much he knew about the university — academics and athletics. He makes an immediate impact and speaks eloquently about how he recruits, how he wins and how he dedicates

himself to the success of student-athletes. Bob’s ambitions match our history of success and our spirit. The Husky Nation deserves an

outstanding football program for the long-term and I am confident that our new head coach will build it. sd

afs ” SUSAN HERBST, UConn President

Diaco has an impressive coaching resume as he served at Virginia (2006-08) as the linebackers and special teams coordinator and Cincinnati (2009) as the defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach before joining the Notre Dame staff.

A native of Cedar Grove, N.J., and a 1995 Iowa graduate, Diaco began his coaching career in 1996-97 as a graduate assistant at his alma mater.

He then served on the staffs of Western Illinois (1999-2000) as the special teams coordinator and running backs coach, Eastern Michigan (2001-2003) working with the same positions and Central Michigan (2005) as the co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

Diaco has coached in eight post-season games, including the BCS title game with Notre Dame in 2012 and the Sugar Bowl with Cincinnati in 2010. He played in three bowl games as a student-athlete at Iowa.

He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa as a linebacker under Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry and was named the team’s co-MVP in 1995, starting in all 23 games over his junior and senior seasons.

Diaco has developed a national reputation as one of the top defensive coaches in the game. Notre Dame allowed an average of 19.08 points/game from 2010-13, which ranked as the ninth-best average over that time of any team in the FBS.

His 2012 Irish defense ranked second in the FBS in scoring defense - allowing just 12.77 points per game. Notre Dame only allowed 15 offensive touchdowns - four fewer than any other FBS school. The Irish held six opponents without an offensive touchdown and nine foes

to one or fewer offensive touchdowns. Under Diaco’s coaching, linebacker Manti Te’o was the 2012

winner of Nagurski Trophy, Lott Trophy, Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, Bednarik Award, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year. Te’o was also the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.

Diaco’s 2011 defense ranked in the top 50 in scoring defense (24th, 20.7), total defense (30th, 344.7), rushing defense (47th, 138.9) and passing defense (38th, 205.8). It was only the second time since 2003 and fourth time in the last 15 seasons a Notre Dame defense ranked in the top 50 in all four categories. The Irish played in the Champs Sports Bowl following that season.

In his first season at Notre Dame in 2010, Diaco switched defensive schemes from a blitzing 4-3 defense the Irish utilized in 2009 and installed a 3-4 no-crease defense. Diaco’s defense became immediately better as the Irish allowed 5.69 fewer points per game, 40.5 fewer yards per game, averaged one half sacks more per game and forced more turnovers in 2010 than 2009. The Irish played in the Sun Bowl that season.

In his only season at Cincinnati (2009), he was charged with replacing 10 starters on the Bearcats’ defense, including every player

“ I talked to many members of the college football community as we began this search for their thoughts and Bob’s name was consistently

mentioned. As we engaged in the interview process with him, I was extremely impressed with his passion and his knowledge of the game

and also for his commitment to the development of the total student-athlete. Bob has vast experience at many different schools and there is

no question in my mind that we have hired a great coach for UConn.sd

Diaco was a two-time All-Big Ten selection at Iowa under legendary coach Hayden Fry.

on the front seven for 2009. The Bearcats recorded 110 tackles for loss in 2009 (8.46 per game) to rank third in the nation. They totaled 37 sacks and tied for 10th in the country averaging 2.85 sacks per contest. Cincinnati’s defense allowed 3.6 rushing yards per carry. He groomed safety Aaron Webster in a First Team All-Big East pick.

Prior to Cincinnati, Diaco spent three years as the linebackers coach and special teams coordinator on Al Groh’s coaching staff at the University of Virginia from 2006-08. At the conclusion of the 2008 season, was promoted to the Cavaliers’ defensive coordinator position, but he left two months later to take the same position at Cincinnati. Virginia played in the Gator Bowl following ‘07.

Diaco’s linebackers were critical to Virginia allowing only 3.7 yards per carry and just over 21 points per game to their opponents in 2008. Only four schools permitted fewer rushing touchdowns than Virginia’s nine in 2007, and the Cavaliers allowed 106.9 rushing yards per game, 13th in the nation. Virginia ranked 16th nationally at 19.7 points allowed per game and was 23rd in total defense, allowing 332.5 yards per game. Linebacker Clint Sintim led the nation in sacks by a line-backer in 2007.

In his only season at Central Michigan (2005), Diaco turned around CMU’s rushing defense that just two years ear-lier had ranked last in the Mid-American Conference. Under Diaco’s watch, Central Michigan led the MAC, allowing only 113.7 rushing yards per game. He also helped defensive end Dan Bazuin lead the nation with 26.5 tackles for loss and tie a MAC record with 16 sacks.

He coached the special teams and line-backers at Western Michigan in 2004. The punting, punt return and kickoff return units all finished in the top three of the MAC.

Diaco’s first full-time position was at Western Illinois where he was the running backs coach and special teams coordinator in 1999 and 2000. The Leathernecks won the Gateway Conference crown in 2000 and made an appearance in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs.

Diaco and his wife Julia have two sons - Angelo and Michael - and a daughter Josephine.

BOB DIACO HAS BEEN… EVERYWHERE!

Bob Diaco has travelled literally thousands of miles around the state promoting the program in his two years as the head football coach at UConn. He has made numerous appearances on television and radio stations across the state and even cooked a favorite dish on WFSB’s Better Connecticut. He has met fans at Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants and has taken part in Celebrity Mini-Golf Tournament for the past two years at the Travelers Championship, Connecticut’s PGA Tour stop. On cam-pus, the program played host to Women’s Football 101 Clinics and Summer Football Clinics the past two years.

“Connecticut hired the perfect man to lead their football program into the future. Bob Diaco possesses every

characteristic necessary to be successful. He’s a top-notch recruiter, tremendous leader of young men and brilliant

coach. Bob was arguably the top coordinator in the country as demonstrated by our defense over the last few years.”BRIAN kELLY, Notre Dame Head Coach

“Right away, Bobby demonstrated a good base level of those skills that are necessary to be a head coach;

organization, high energy, leadership and the ability to relate to people. We are very excited for Bobby and Julia.

They will have a great sense of purpose and a detailed plan for resurrecting UConn football.”AL GROH, Former University of Virginia

and NFL Head Coach

“ I’ve had the good fortune of covering Bob Diaco for a number of years. His commitment to excellence, his ability

to relate to and motivate his players and his overall work ethic will be huge assets to the UConn football program.”kIRk HERBSTREIT, ESPN College Football Analyst

“UConn got a steal in Coach Diaco. He is a great coach and mentor. He cares for his players. There is nothing better than a coach who cares about his team not only as players, but as individuals. He not only teaches guys how to play the

game, but on how to be a gentleman. He is everything you could ever want in a coach. Notre Dame is going to miss

him, but he is going to do great things at UConn and I wish him all the best of luck.”MANTI TE’O, San Diego Chargers Linebacker and

2012 Heisman Trophy Runner-Up

“Bob is going to bring a family atmosphere to any team he coaches. He cares a lot about his players, treats everybody

with respect and just a guy who takes care of the people around him and the program. The guys are going to love

playing for him. He’s a high-energy guy that brings it with him every day. There’s not a day he would come to work

that he wasn’t at his best. Guys respect him and love playing for him.”HARRISON SMITH, Minnesota Vikings Safety
