Losing by 30 to a mediocre Iowa team will do that. Losing to Ohio State by 59 will do that. Losing every damn year to the drunken cheese heads will do that.

I have not been around quite as long as you, but in the ball park. I want to see what Riley and staff can do but frustration sets in when things like the basics of football are just not happening. A coaching staff can put some fire in the bellies of it players and make them believe. Attitudes are contagious and instilling that in players in on the coaches. Fundamentals like a good tackling technique or staying home, leverage etc, that is on the coaches. We all know that talent is important and recruiting has to be emphasis, but coaches need to play with the hands they have right now, and the basics of coaching seem to be lacking.

Half correct. We do need a head coach who understands what being physical truly means and has a running based offense that pounds the defense relentlessly.
However, we absolutely need the ability to throw and catch the ball.

It's all about fundamentals. If we could block and tackle consistently and soundly, we'd be well over half way there.

Bottom line is, Eichorst will never fire Riley, because it would reflect negatively on him. In turn, Riley will never fire Banker due to his loyalty. So basically we're stuck until Riley's contract expires. I don't have any faith that we'll make a good hire when it's that time again, anyway.
We need to shell out big time $ and go after some big time coaches. Heck I remember when I said we should pursue Petersen and people laughed and said he'd never leave Boise. Washington proved that you never know unless you try.

What you saw today is what you will see next year. A QB running for his life because we have no offensive line at all! We have no desire because we don't recruit kids with desire - how many NE kids are at ND and playing above the level of kids we have on this NE team. Riley is a 500 coach at best. 6-6 next year is likely.

I've already seen the hype train on Tanner Lee starting to churn, just like the hype train for this years recruiting class did last spring. Media trying to convince us of something in order to keep the heat off. If any of you are expecting Tanner Lee to be something special, prepare to be disappointed. He's about a notch above Fyfe.

Jesus on the cross! Can you at least wait until next year when Riley has his recruits playing in his system before you call his time here a failure?
