Didn't recruit nada d lineman , didn't do interviews , couldn't keep 2 guys from going to the league .

Matthew James Rowling

He smelled like sausagel Just like J C! Grant st he stinks! Gayson!

Visitor

He struggled in recruiting and the D line's performance was pathetic on getting pressure on the quarterbacks that they played against this year and The players did not buy into his coaching Philosophy

Jeff Nelson

Could not close on D line recruits

Rich Stricklett

When you don't recruit any D lineman you reap what you sow.

Nate Zirbel

Bc if you can't recruit you can't help the team out so I get it had his chance and missed 4 DL If I remember right

Jeremy Kendall

Got some inside info.

Kevin Hamilton

We were top 10 against the run. It wasn't obvious until the very end that he was failing on the Recruiting Trail. so if anyone says they saw it coming, they're full of it.

Kenneth. D. Magruder

No reason to believe otherwise

Travis French

All about recruiting

HALLA

Glad it happened but had no clue Riley would fire a buddy of Banker. Thats a good sign for the future

Shane Andersen

never heard of the guy till he was fired, but glad he is gone. Seems like he wasn't earning his $300,000 salary

Thomas Foster

I was clueless.

Alan Blackburn

It's nice to see MR evolve if you're not getting the job done.

Robert Dodd

no i did not. get Perrella in here and we wont have any worries!

Kevin P. Miller

Not saying I'm surprised... But, I just didn't realize there was any problem there. But, once I started looking at the information that is "out there", I can see why they might be wanting to make a change.

Jerry Williams

I thought because of stopping the rush all was alright, but who am I to know.

Arlie Rauch

What should I have seen it coming?

Kevin Hamilton

I am not privy to any inside information and I don't speculate on how well anyone is doing as a result. In other words I don't pretend to know what I don't know to feel like a big shot lol! It does look like a good move after the facts that were released came out.

Gearld Wolff

Pass rush is but one part of DL play. They stopped the run effectively and contained most scrambles. The blitz packages or lack thereof fall on Banker, not Hughes.

Stephen Johnson

Because he was not the weak point in the pass defense.

Wade Williams

First game is always vanilla on offense. They will try to establish the run with basic run formations.

Robert Lloyd

Slightly more runs than passes... if we are smart. Or it's going to be a long year.

Nat Warren

Oline should dominate a transfer portal depleted Northwestern front and get the practice running the ball that is needed to win in the BIG.

Man who stares at Q-functions

They will play to win. The way to win is to grind Northwestern down.

Dalynn Parks

I feel we should get a somewhat comfortable lead and start grinding out 1st downs via the run game. But if Oline under-performs and forgets to show up? All bets are off.

Mick Hanson

Show off our running back talent, as they won't stop us by the end of the game.

Doug Einsel

It will likely be balanced, but slightly more runs. Whipple likes running.

Jory Knowlton

Whips will probably stick to a 54/46 ratio. I know they will be seeking as much balance as possible. An early lead would help balance things back to near 50/50. Early on as they go on attack, I think it may start out close to 60/40.

Randy Weitzenkamp

It'll be pretty close to a 50/50 split, but I'll give the slight edge to the run game. From what I've read our run blocking is better than our pass blocking right now. Much like the TO days I can envision a run heavy 1st & 2nd down to avoid 3rd and longs.

Jim Firnhaber

There will be swing passes and screens that will act as substitutes for runs, loosen up the D and spread the defense.

Andy Fields

Our schedule is in our favor.

Randy Weitzenkamp

I struggled with this decision. We have talent, but that hasn't been our problem recently. Execution, special teams and the O-line have been our Achille's heal (in that order). If we can improve in 2 of these areas, it should be enough to get us 7 wins.

Al Wenburg

I think our offense will score a lot more points than last year and the defense will shut more teams down on 3rd downs.

I think we may have to win one of the last four tough games to be bowl eligible.

Rolland Holliday

Tough teams on the schedule, and Scott has not proven his coaching abilities as of yet.
