Kirk Ferentz could. That was basically his response when told that Raiola committed to NU.

I don’t know what we did to earn his undying allegiance, but I’m damn glad for whatever it is.

Ferentz also refuses to recruit anyone that that doesn’t immediately mold into his militaristic white team during the recruiting process.
Any kind of risk & they drop em so yea if he bets white everytime then he’d be right about Dylan

19 pages in, and has anyone pointed out that entering the portal doesn't shut the door on a guy returning?
I like Dylan and think he's a good dude, talented QB, and that a lot of the hate about him is overdone.
At the same time, he's got some deficiencies that need to be cleaned up, a dad who wants to see a return on the multimillion dollar investment he's made in Dylan's training, and seemingly a mindset that the Raiola camp needs to have a fair amount of control over that process.
I tend to think Dylan's next jump will be when he's in a spot where he's not the golden boy or his dad has the leverage to call the shots, so he gets the hard coaching and the butt-kicking to force the next development steps. So this transfer has a chance to be a good thing for him based more on that aspect than what the roster around him looks like.
I'm a little bummed that he's decided to go, a little salty since he's doing it even though he got almost everything he wanted here, but ultimately if he's not all in, he's got to be all out.
Good luck to Dylan where his business doesn't interfere with ours, and let's get a dude/dudes who are bought in and ready to work.

While its true he can still come back I wonder about a couple things. Lets say everyone laughs in his/Dom's face and they don't get anything tenable. Does Rhule take him back? Certainly not under the old "understanding" that we will tickle his balls constantly while never holding him accountable for shit play. That ship has sailed. The second thing I wonder in this scenario is what happens his first bad game next year. The fans will devour him. He has to know that. No more hands off kiss his ass so he doesn't leave.19 pages in, and has anyone pointed out that entering the portal doesn't shut the door on a guy returning?

If either or both of those are true I can't see him coming back unless he truly becomes "his own man" and if you know anything about Poly culture that's not going to happen.

To be clear, I'd imagine the actual chances of him coming back at this point are miniscule.
That's just the disclaimer that almost every sports writer puts in their articles.

Naw he does that cuz theyre great at development & that development gets passed on from starter to backup.
Hawkeye fans have talked about how ferentz never was able to go to the next level cuz DJK caused him problems back in the day & ever since then he refuses to roll the dice on any high profile guys that don’t bend to their will the moment they commit. Purgatory is nicer than hell tho
He’s gunshy.
Nebraska ran plenty of downfield routes that got open and he never threw the ball.
He’s either scared to make a mistake or can’t accurately read a defense.
He also seems way too in his head on how to throw the football. He has an arm but never really threw the ball hard at his guys. He wants to be this perfect qb with touch passes. But he’s not perfect.

Its on another site. Not my info & not trying to be cryptic or be an ass about it. Just doesn't sound like the team was behind Dylan or appreciated the kid glove treatment he got. Maybe Garret can confirm or call bs.

His comment was he's just looking for a place to continue to develop as a QB, way overblown.
Here he is with his teammates at the Cockeye game for instance:
We gotta stop trying to make it sound like his teammates hated him, they didn't He was a good teammate.

I wouldn't mind seeing Geep tow Malachi Hosley out of Georgia Tech...
Methinks some of you have forgotten what Shedildo actually looked like on the field - he was probably even worse than Dylan at holding on to the ball too long and taking unnecessary sacks. He was the most sacked QB in the country two years in a row, and it wasn't just because of his line. And he was still doing that as a senior, while Dylan was just a sophomore this year.
Dude was jacked even in high school.
Hoiberg went .200 in conference in year three. He didn't break .500 until year five.
I wouldn't be surprised if our players were feeling kinda like how Ole Miss's players were supposedly feeling toward the end of Kiffin's time - they liked him, but by the end of it they were tired of the drama and were ready to move on.
I think it's a combination of him being inaccurate on deep balls and him knowing he's inaccurate which makes him afraid to throw it unless they're obviously wide open.
I think with time, he'll get better at things like getting the ball out faster, but it's his lacking deep ball that will ultimately be his ceiling as a player.
I always think back to his Elite 11 performance - it was Danny Kaelin that won the accuracy competition, while Raiola kinda struggled at it. And how Mike Leach always said accuracy was the one thing he couldn't coach, either a guy had it or he didn't...
