News is out that our new football overlord, Matt Rhule, is keeping Donovan Raiola as the offensive line coach. Of all the coaches on Scott Frost’s last staff, Raiola would be the one most fans would want to NOT return.
Nebraska’s offensive line this past season was the worst I can remember, and I am an old, crusty man. It was atrocious. The guys weren’t physical, except for a few bright spots while run blocking later in the season. They couldn’t pass block. Any time a defense ran a stunt or a twist, our offensive linemen’s heads exploded, resulting in an avalanche of “lookout” blocking.
