Banker situation and Nate G.

[BigRedballz]

Do you suppose that Nate G. not attending class caught Riley off guard and he held Banker responsible. I know there are people watching that for the team but maybe those people only reported it to Banker since he was Nate's position coach. Couple that with the lousy defensive performances at the end of the year and you get a pissed off Mike Riley. Just a thought.

NO.

Nope

this is about recruiting - Riley knows we need an upgrade in talent to compete - Xs and Os aren't enough.

Actually, I agree with you that it was about recruiting. I was just throwing that out more as a potential contributing factor than a direct cause.

the oops moment, was when he was quoted after the Iowa game saying their practices must be a blood bath..

Explain.

Are you saying Banker and Riley after 20 years of working together could no longer discuss practice philosophies in an office? Or that Riley is so thin skinned that he fired his friend and guy he has worked with because he said Iowa practices must be a blood bath?

No, because Gerry would have had a targeting call in the first 5 minutes of the bowl game and missed the game anyway.

I'm not saying either. The premise of this thread was about NG and that somehow being a catalyst in this. I'm disagreeing and saying the only oops moment was when he made that statement, meaning neither the NG thing nor the blood bath comment have anything to do with why he was let go. Hope that helps.
