Didn't recruit nada d lineman , didn't do interviews , couldn't keep 2 guys from going to the league .

Matthew James Rowling

He smelled like sausagel Just like J C! Grant st he stinks! Gayson!

Visitor

He struggled in recruiting and the D line's performance was pathetic on getting pressure on the quarterbacks that they played against this year and The players did not buy into his coaching Philosophy

Jeff Nelson

Could not close on D line recruits

Rich Stricklett

When you don't recruit any D lineman you reap what you sow.

Nate Zirbel

Bc if you can't recruit you can't help the team out so I get it had his chance and missed 4 DL If I remember right

Jeremy Kendall

Got some inside info.

Kevin Hamilton

We were top 10 against the run. It wasn't obvious until the very end that he was failing on the Recruiting Trail. so if anyone says they saw it coming, they're full of it.

Kenneth. D. Magruder

No reason to believe otherwise

Travis French

All about recruiting

HALLA

Glad it happened but had no clue Riley would fire a buddy of Banker. Thats a good sign for the future

Shane Andersen

never heard of the guy till he was fired, but glad he is gone. Seems like he wasn't earning his $300,000 salary

Thomas Foster

I was clueless.

Alan Blackburn

It's nice to see MR evolve if you're not getting the job done.

Robert Dodd

no i did not. get Perrella in here and we wont have any worries!

Kevin P. Miller

Not saying I'm surprised... But, I just didn't realize there was any problem there. But, once I started looking at the information that is "out there", I can see why they might be wanting to make a change.

Jerry Williams

I thought because of stopping the rush all was alright, but who am I to know.

Arlie Rauch

What should I have seen it coming?

Kevin Hamilton

I am not privy to any inside information and I don't speculate on how well anyone is doing as a result. In other words I don't pretend to know what I don't know to feel like a big shot lol! It does look like a good move after the facts that were released came out.

Gearld Wolff

Pass rush is but one part of DL play. They stopped the run effectively and contained most scrambles. The blitz packages or lack thereof fall on Banker, not Hughes.
