I think there is enough koolaid being posted already that this board can handle all small dose of critique of a position coach with questionable experience. Every post and opinion doesn’t need to be done with head in sand.

At this point I’m simply hoping our guys stay healthy. A couple season ending injuries and there isn’t a coach out there that would make a significant difference.

I also think Rhule will have a very strong hand himself in coaching the OLine so he’s going to see first hand DRs ability. Also might be young enough that Rhule can mold him in his way.Rhule went with Raiola for a few reasons:
- Coaches the method that Rhule likes
- Coached in the NFL
- Coached under the well respected Harry Hiestand at Notre Dame and the Bears
- Highly recommended by other offensive line coaches
Steven Sipple: Harry Hiestand, a tie that helps bind Matt Rhule and Donovan Raiola, has been bullish on Raiola’s teaching style from the start
Harry Hiestand thinks too many head coaches favor "scheme" coaches over ones like Donovan Raiola, who diligently teaches fundamentals.www.on3.com
Rhule, though, has made it clear that Raiola teaches in a way that Rhule prefers. Both men favor what might be considered an “old-school” approach.
Rhule said last week, he admires Hiestand’s work. Admires his approach.
“He doesn’t want them grabbing guys,” says Hiestand, 64, Notre Dame’s offensive line coach and a mentor of Raiola’s.
Raiola emphasizes pad leverage and physical play.
“He wants them running off the ball,” Hiestand says.
Here is the Oline coach. I mean Frank Solich has returned why not the coach who was hired to replace him coaching our Oline

This thought sent shivers down my spin and caused my heart to skip a beat or two.
Great pro oline coach.
Collegiate? Nah.
Collegiate? Nah.
of course, I have seen no real critique offered, just, far as I can tell, unfounded speculation from people significantly less knowledgeable than the man that kept him as o line coach.
The same speculative posts made the last 5 years from the same less knowledgeable posters than the guy who hired him. I just don’t see a reason to dismiss the opinions of fans who don’t drink the koolaid.
It was funny that as I was posting those comments I thought of him. Pretty sure that ship has sailed.View attachment 96903

I wasn't convinced his work alongside Dennis Wagner was all that impressive either. Especially considering he was also defacto O-Coordinator. His recruits set the tendency to be far better NFL linemen and NCAA linemen. That persisted through four head coaches.View attachment 96903

His offenses had huge tendencies to go to sleep several quarters in a row.

Leader of the significant less knowledgeable's.
I’m sure you were on the smart squad that stuck with SF up until the end because him and the media told you so
Well I’m sorry if you are offended by posters not gushing the koolaid.

Of course it would never happen given the situation.
However, Nebraska wouldn’t want to pay what it would cost to pry someone of his caliber away from a current position in the NFL.
