Al Groh, the former Virginia head coach and NFL defensive coordinator, looks forward to an early October trip to Lincoln.
That might mean little to you. But it surely means something to Nebraska defensive coordinator Bob Diaco. After all, Diaco worked as a linebackers coach under Groh at Virginia from 2006 through 2008. Learning the 3-4 defense under Groh "was a spectacular education," Diaco said during his introductory news conference at NU in January.
The 73-year-old Groh, now retired from coaching and living near Boston, will serve as an analyst for Westwood One's radio broadcast of the Wisconsin-Nebraska game Oct.
