I agree with some of the others that posted. We have to give MR at least another year to get his system in place. Keep firing the coaches and nobody will even consider coaching NU.

There are some gaps in coaching/recruiting that need to be addressed ASAP or this team will continue to struggle. Specifically, offensive tackle and TE need a major upgrade or they will be unable to run this offense. They also need a HUGE (330+) space-eating D-tackle!

Because you don't rebuild a team in 3 years. And I am not an emotional, reactionary child. I can look at the variables and see the "why" behind the "how". MR should get 4 years. But our fan base is dimwitted and emotional.

Progress is being made. Strong interest from highly touted recruits. I agree with Foster. We don't want to be Wisconsin. Riley deserves another year to implement his system of balance offense. Defense simply wore down the other night. Give Diaco some time to build that up.

There are too many "moving parts" in a passing attack. The offensive line has to give the quarterback a clean pocket, he quarterback has to make the right decision, the ball has to be thrown well and the receiver has to catch the ball. As opposed to run blocking and hand offs/pitches.

I don't see improvement. Same play calling on offense. How many up the middle plays can you run. No slants, no sweeps around the ends. Defense is so so. Can't really stop the short passing game. Big holes in the middle of the line. Just hoping for a bowl game. I would agree we OS.

3-3 with a loss to NIU in your 3rd year at the helm is not gonna cut it but.....I do think Riley deserves at least 4 years, if not 5. Who is it that fans who disagree with that, think we are going to be able to go out and get?? Let's be realistic, nobody is beating down the door to submit an app!!

High ankle sprain versus LA Tech. If Sims is going to be Rhule's guy, he needs to be healthy for Big 10 play. Let Haarberg get the experience while Sims heals.

I love both QBs but must vote for Heinrich as he played lights out and with the so needed clean play protecting the ball. I do believe we can win also with Jeff and our players would have to just follow him looking for the ball coming loose. We can do that too. It's a team.
