NU's Diaco, Oregon's Taggart familiar after time in American Athletic Conference

Bob Diaco and Willie Taggart have each spent the past several months adjusting to new work environments and roles.

Diaco, of course, was named Nebraska’s defensive coordinator in January after three years as UConn’s head coach, while Taggart moved across the country – from running South Florida’s program to Oregon’s.
