Huh? Very few posters are calling for Raiola’s head. His line got better as the season went on. He recruited better than anyone so yeah .. he earned his keep
One bad game and they will be, again. The crowd still says he kept his job only cuz DR came.
A whole lot of people WERE saying it and have shut their trap for now. Many should be eating some crow but likely won't. Could end up being one of Rhule's best decisions in keeping him yet many on this board thought otherwise.
To be clear I was always good with keeping Raiola so where is the wishy washy in this bullshit thread? I was being sarcastic on the firing him if that's the issue? Of course results is what matter but you have to give them time to make results happen included in that is improved recruiting and improved play on the field.
Wrong answer there still are those dopes out there and a number came back whining and crying wanting to eat crow and to them I say GFYS and take your crow and shove it up your collective asses! Not accepted!
I'm on record saying that Don needed time with his own recruits before he could be accurately judged. What I don't understand is the timing of your post. It's kinda like posting on 10 Jan 24 that Osborne should have been fired for not beating Oklahoma sooner than 78.
No real reason to bring it up now except that for the amount of crap he took and the many posts explaining his ineptitude, their has only been a couple posts giving him credit with what he has been doing with the o line.
And also he has an excellent sideline presence as far as organizing rotations and conveying information, which allowed Satterfield to go up in the press box.
Dude....he had one decent season , I wouldn't say he has a pass now. Hell they wanted Satterfield drawn and quartered .
I’ll tell you what, he better keep his nephew upright this coming year, or it won’t be “just the fans” calling for his head..😉
No one is saying that. Literally no one.
Where have you been? There have been a ton of posts discussing the O Line improvement. Especially in relation to leading the Big 10 in rushing (I think we ended up second). All season long ge was getting accolades for the obvious line improvement.
If they WERE saying it but aren’t anymore, shouldn’t you have posted this post a long time ago?
I guess you missed Kong’s posts?
I mean, that's terrible, but considering your affiliation I don't think anyone is surprised. 🤣
I didn't. I took Rhule at his word that after he was hired Raiola just kept on working toward next year and recruiting (the implication being the other assistants were treading water to see what was going to happen). And also, Rhule said Raiola's and his line technique philosophies were in sync. After Dylan committed to GA and Donnie got the contract extension, that lent credibility to what Rhule had said about keeping him.
To those that think Donovan Raiola only kept his job because we had a chance to land his nephew I say maybe but it was worth it.
You mean literally every fan base in P5 football? No fan base is different from any other. All have their share of nuts.
About a year ago, there were people on here who wanted Raiola fired and Nash, Robinson & Benhardt cut loose. Think about that for a minute.
