teachercd Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Who were the toxins? Depends who you ask! most of the toxins left are posters on this board who can't let go of things. So you are firmly in the camp of "no excuses" right? Riley needs to win or well... Also...are you saying that fans can now impact the wins/losses? there is more to it than just winning IMO...and i am happy with Riley so far. and fans can only help the results if the players can actually get a boost from the crowd at the stadium......or they can hurt if they harass the kids to much away from campus or on twitter.etc. There is more than just winning...for about two years. But this is a business based on wins especially at NU. 1 Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Gates has some really skinny arms for an OL in his 4th year I thought the same thing when I seen him walk by at Fan Day yesterday. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Please define excuses. Sure...I will define them as I see them. 1. Not the right QB for his system 2. No depth on the OL 3. Bad DC that should have been fired while at OSU 4. Toxins Quote Link to comment

Bad DC that should have been fired while at OSU 4. Toxins 1 and 3 were things he could have rectified, too. He could have tried to bring in a guy to compete with Tommy (at least for 2016) and he could have gone with a different D.C. from the very beginning. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Soooo.....basically any reason a team doesn't win a championship. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yes...and he fixed them all...so there are no more excuses. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So, championship or this team sucks and heads should roll. No matter what. 2 Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So, championship or this team sucks and heads should roll. No matter what. No...there are no more excuses for the coaches. I think you are missing what I am saying. Years one and two there were "excuses" so that things were not blamed on Riley. Those are now all gone. So a crappy season this year falls on him. 3 Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Riley said they could stay in more of their base defense instead of going to a Nickel look depending on how things shake out. I'm sure that'll look great against Oregon Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Ohio State too. I think Domann would have been set to have a huge year for that reason. He could be that sort of hybrid S/LB you see in 3-4s around the country that would help in coverage and against the run. No doubt in my mind that he would have seen a lot of snaps this year.

Scratchtown Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Riley said they could stay in more of their base defense instead of going to a Nickel look depending on how things shake out. I would think this is a given considering the type of teams you see in the B1G Quote Link to comment

Well....from the "expectations" thread, it sounds like if we don't win a championship the season sucks. So, if the season sucks because we didn't win a championship, then Riley needs to be held accountable and fired.....because there is no reasonable excuse for having a bad season. Glad to know now that it's championship or he needs to be fired. Quote Link to comment
