Raiola should have been gone by now. Is there a prior connection with him we don’t know about? Doesn’t align with Rhule’s philosophy the way the OL played and was coached. I just don't see Raiola being retained. Rhule had a discussion with Casey Thompson so hopefully there were some provocative insights gained there...Lol 1 Quote Link to comment

Raiola was given a shyt salad and asked to make it appetizing without any additional ingredients in less than a yr... how, in any metric, can you truly judge his performance..?? 2 Quote Link to comment

I didn't see the progress as the season went on that I thought there might be. Some of it's personnel. Not nearly enough improvement. The O line was horrible. But, it is possible it was that big of s#!t show when Raiola got here that he couldn’t do much in one year. I’ll trust Rhule on this. I was hoping he would have an amazing O line coach to bring. But, if he likes Raiola, then so be it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Really don’t think Raiola will be retained. I would be pissed. Especially if we got two very inexperienced guys on both sides of the line. Quote Link to comment

And likewise if hired Robinson with the defensive line as DC? 1 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I would think if the DC was Snow we would know already....be interesting to see who we go with. Quote Link to comment

Seems like he was constantly getting the hand-off and running lateral. He had much more success running straight ahead. Note how Rhamir Johnson ran in Iowa. He went straight ahead. you would think Applewhite would have noted this and coached him to hit the hole quickly. Felt like sometimes he made our offensive line worse than they were. I wouldn't say he regressed as much as the east-west JUCO running wasn't cutting it once we started playing solid defenses. Unfortunately Applewhite wasn't able to break Grant's bad habits. Annoyed me when we left him in there against Iowa. That late 3rd and 1 where Grant wouldn't just lower his shoulder and fight for a yard didn't end-up costing us but it easily could have. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I think this has more to do with S&C. I will say I'm not a fan of Riola, but will give him a chance if he's still here. 2 Quote Link to comment

Something that's been floated around other message boards is that you bring Robinson as the DC to get him in the building and bring in Snow as a defensive analyst to be a mentor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'm guessing Raiola didn't get to teach his style of Oline play due to what Whipple and Frost wanted. He very well could turn out to be a great coach if his teachings match up to what Rhule is looking for. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment

It doesn't seem like the bearded one's S&C methods and philosophy were producing the desired results on the field especially with respect to the lines. Quote Link to comment
