Donovan Raiola

[Ext. 55]

Are we actually looking at him being our OL coach?

He doesn't exactly have a lot of coaching experience.

His Nephew play a role in all of this?

I mean if they hired him I'd guess that was arranged. Hire my bro and my kid will commit. If Frost gets fired next year bro has a year of P5 experience to get him better job offers and Dylan can still jump ship before signing day.

If he doesn't get fired that would mean Nebraska won some games and turned the corner? I can't imagine they keep Frost without minimum getting to a bowl game but I thought the same thing going into this year.

Seems like a lot of ifs for a guy that wouldn’t be on campus for more than 2.5 years, and do you really want to risk your OL performance when your job is on the line? IDK much about Donovan, so maybe they have more faith in him that just the opportunity to get his nephew.

It better...or it makes little sense IMO.

It's not like he's an accountant right now.

 

[Pipe Line]

I think the guy has already been hired

Call your shot!

Graham Harrell

Morris as an analyst?

I hope it’s him

Can’t forget the Raiolas are Hawaiian. Family is a huge part of the culture.

Morris as an analyst?

With the developments at USC, I think we reached out to Morris as a back up plan in case Harrell fell through which then started the rumors about Morris. Harrell is a name we’ve heard from day 1. Morris popped up within the last 18 hours.

 

[God is a Husker]

CAN WE JUST HIRE BILL O"BOYLE AND BE DONE WITH IT FOR THE OL...FUCK

308 ties and looks like this? 100% will bring the pipeline back

Maybe the new OC is helping make the hires.

Doesn’t it seem strange that, for argument’s sake, you hire Graham Harrell and, of his own volition, the first two guys he wants on his staff are Mickey Joseph and Donovan Raiola?

Harrell hasn't exactly been around that long. His network might be fairly small.

Not sure how many people have watched the Bears play this year. Oline might be the worst I've ever seen since I began watching NFL football.

Juan Castillo is supposedly highly regarded as an NFL OL coach. Bears Oline problem is largely due to Ryan Pace & then the idiot Nagy does next to nothing to help the situation. There’s only 2 quality starters so I wouldn’t say Riaola can be blamed for any of that.

I’ve actually met Doug a number of times when he was the OC at Alabama. He was recruiting Jake Waters when he was at IWCC. I can’t remember who Bama had at QB that year, but they were planning on putting pressure on him for a decision on whether he was coming back or going to the NFL. It might have been McElroy. But if McElroy was going pro they were going to offer Jake Waters.

I wanna say DN has since been at Florida and Michigan.

Waters was getting recruited by Bama and ended up at K State?

Also as a kind of related side note, it's hilarious to me that between him and Bronson Marsh, Jake ended up way better off than Marsh. Bronson was a strange dude with an even stranger road to CFB.

 

[Toe]

I mean he’s been an NFL OL coach for four years?

Mickey Joseph no
Donovan Raiola yes

Good point nonetheless

I'll take your word for it. All I know is they suck and Fields makes them worse holding onto the ball too long.

Exactly. The point I was trying to get at.

Isn't there some NCAA rule that disallows a school from recruiting a coaches family member...i thought that was a thing when ppl were clamoring for us to hire Dylan's Dad as Oline coach about 4 months ago?
