he almost destroyed what snyder built. just an awful coach and nasty dude.
Except Snyder helped too. My brother in law said most wanted Snyder fired during his last year and he was doing the Kirk ferentz thing

bill retired the first time. then wished he hadn't. then prince failed. bill returned. thank god. brought the program back. but left at the end ungracefully. he did what few men could have done at k-state. the program was beyond putrid when he arrived. i love what he accomplished though coaching brilliance and complete focus. but i didn't like the way he left. klieman was the perfect replacement.
 
Raoila looks the part for sure. I think he is eventually going to be great. But Spring games mean absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip.
Can we keep him upright and available week to week?

Do we have the brain power on the headset required to unlock his tremendous potential?

Those are my two biggest questions. The talent is immense, but it’s a team game.
 
Which always seems to happen. Our tackle position still is somewhat suspect. I hope some of these youngsters actually develop and we can have a good line again. I'm somewhat optimistic about the interior, but tackle has been awful.
Agreed. The line is improving, but probably a year away from having the kind of depth across the line that they need/want.
 
So far the hype seems justified and I've not seen anything negative about Raiola which is not what we're used to. Not common for a true freshman QB. Of course the real proof comes in the real games. No reason to doubt that he won't be great there too but yes we've seen some QBs in the past who were great in practice looking like stars but then not so good in real game situations.

It'll be interesting to see how the ratings pan out. Seems about 50-50 on 5 star QB's. I think DR has all of the tools, but for you CFB nerds here are the previous dudes.

Agree. I'm really waiting to see what OLine we trot out. If Corcoran is a starting tackle we are hosed.

He won’t be a tackle unless there are multiple injuries

Sadly, we’re gonna find out now if Corc has improved or not.
