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

Sure you did!

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.

Is the recent coaching staff and player movement a sign of deeper issues with Nebraska football?

The only reason I voted yes is because we needed a reality check from the narrative that Matt Rhule is creating such a great culture. I think he’s doing a pretty darn good job and we are still above culturally but he isn’t walking on water.

Running game is improving

Eric Hahn

I think without getting cute and simplifying we were able to see the talent that was recruited on the line shine against Wisconsin. There were holes open nearly all night for our backs. Dylan was not sacked at all.

klirvine@bresnan.net

they are better no question

Bill Petty

yes

Will Stanley

Tonite I saw hints of the '95 Huskers. We have a lot of work to do but I think with Rhule and Holgerson, I think within the next 2-3 seasons, we will be on the ranking polls and pushing for the Big 10 Legends title and then? Who knows? Maybe a National title is in the future??

I think a good 'running' OC like Army's OC could have an awesome offense with this exact personnel. And the Army's OC only makes $190K.

Steve Brandon

Only thing good at is picking up qb after giving up a sack

Jeffrey Bushman

actually they stink.

Bruce Stephens

There are some good high school defenses that would give our line fits.

Fearless Phil

I was spoiled by the lines of the 80s and 90s

Joe Hegarty

They need more strength & conditioning

Mike O

Offensive is the right word. The Pipeline is clogged and needs a plumber ASAP. The you know what is backing up into the basement. That Focker is our offensive line.

James Key

I don't care at this moment. just win Baby

Michael DePuglio

Take a look at the average SEC OL.... we need more work and development.

Brian Machan

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.
