It's hard to coach a quality OL with subpar players

I don't think we know how good Donovan really is. If the S&C is making the linemen heavy, slow, and stiff there is only so much Raiola can do. Rhule knows OL and has a track record of identifying good young coaches, so I trust that he sees something here.

For those saying there was no improvement, I disagree. You can not look at the line in a vacuum. Lots of injuries this year with your two best players out most of the year.

Being a husker fan and seeing the way the o-line played tells you all you need to know why we shouldn't of kept Riola! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!

We did not see much improvement this year on the Oline. I dont necessary think the fault is the players necessary, its the coach. I like Raiola, but, he is missing something. Maybe the weight room will help.

I've read the why's on the good side but reason I'm saying it's bad as it's so easy to blame in on talent and players which is why I almost voted good. Some of this belongs on Duvall for strapping on cement boots to our o-lineman but our o-line did NOT improve - the regressed so...bad move

Our OL was TERRIBLE! They couldn't run block and made up for it by not being able to pass block! There was not improvement in the OL as the season progressed, in fact, they got worse! With no good OL there is not improvement! THINK MATT!

O-Line was the weakest part of the whole team and showed zero improvement during the season. Total head scratcher.

I did not see improvement in the linemen throughout the year, which does not give much confidence. I realize we need substantially better players, but we also need a coach who can get every bit of talent from whomever is playing. I did not see that this year.

Worst performing position on the team. Coach or scheme, I don't know, but if that who MR wants, he has to live with results.

The offensive line showed no improvement under Riaola and in fact regressed in their run blocking. He is also very inexperienced compared to many other candidates including John Garrison. Rhule said " it starts in the trenches". Put your money where your mouth is!

This is honestly the first time I’ve seriously questioned Rhule. This makes 0 sense. The O line is 99% of the reason Casey got massacred this year. We would have been an 8-4 team at minimum with a serviceable O line. And don’t get me started on improvement, that was VERY minimal

There is very little upside to this choice. There are many qualified offensive line coaches that have produced at this level. I would look into getting one of them. I also believe that Raiola did very little to warrant him being retained.

If you are coach with discipline methods of developement of the players, you can turn an offensive line around very quickly. Most of the same lineman are coming back. And now is he going to sell them on being tougher and more disciplined? I dont buy it! Very bad move by Ruhle!

Wasn't the season bad because the offensive line didn't do well? If so, then, why keep Raiole?

Lose no more at home against weaker opponents, Purdue lost too much and will need to replace Charlie Jones and Aidan O'cconell

I just believe NU is going to reestablish its home field advantage under Rhule and I think Purdue is going to take a step back next year under a new head coach. While Rhule is new too, NU needed him. PU didn't need or want to lose Brohm. Two programs trending in different directions in 2023.

Purdue is deeper into the first season of a new staff. And it is at home where the crowd is more of a factor.

Later in the season. The mini game is #1 and we'll have some kinks to work out. BUT I think we win both. With good coaching we'll finally put Mini in our rear view mirror.

In short order, Coach Rhule and staff put together a top 30 class. That's a great result for the short time they had to work with. My only pain point was losing Earnest Hausman to Michigan through the transfer portal.
