Just listened to Geep Wade interview with Hail Varsity/Hurrdat. I'm all in with this guy and think he'll get the o line fixed
Geep Wade.

I hope he does well. On another note, Uncle Donnie is still unemployed... hmm, wonder why?
Oregon didn't want him? Lol.

Sometimes it's best to take a year off, evaluate, and learn. Especially in this day and age of multi year contracts and still get paid
Might take him more than a year to learn what all he needs to learn.
I think the DL will be hell on wheels.
Do you? Can you tell the rest of the class why you feel this way? It’s my biggest concern so I hope you can change my mind
Sorry, I thought I laid the sarcasm on thick enough.
Should be better than last year IMO though.
Can’t wait for Geep to have success here only for Rhule to run him out of town next year!
Haha!
"Well, it turns out that Geep wanted more responsibilities...so I told him "No" and so he left for a new job."
Thanks Rhule...
Why should he worry about taking a job right away. His severance package is good for this year.
He was probably referring to what Rhule said about the DL before last season, which was complete BS.
Bottom line … there is no possible way it could be worse.
We had a rb average almost 6 ypc, and run for 1500 yards. It can get WAYYYYYY worse.
What? How can the backwards hat not instill total confidence?
Or when no one else has offered you a job. Because your resume just doesn’t instill confidence that you are competent at your job.
Ehhhh, it is a coaching fraternity. There are unlimited CFB positions now and lower level CFB jobs and NFL jobs. It is probably a safer bet that he is just dicking around for a bit.
Fans (us) tend to think coaches suck and will never get hired again but those guys are all friends and look out for each other.
I’m very well aware how the fraternity works and how the average stay employed.
However Riola had a very weak - beyond weak resume before frost and Rhule hired him and Riola did nothing to improve upon it.
Some younger guys do end up moving on if their network isnt huge or if they fail spectacularly. Guys with resume depth can find sanctuary - but to stay employed in football riola will have to take a much lower salaried analyst spot
McGuire was definitely a fraternity pay it forward hire- that we suffered through thanks to Rhule paying tribute to the fraternity

The fraternity even has its own unemployment insurance program - aka, taking an analyst "job" until a real one opens up.
Benning said he talked to Riley Von Poppel and RVP said he's a lot more comfortable with the new dl coaches and his confidence has grown. Sounds like they have simplified things, working on basics/technique and then building on that. I got the impression that the d linemen understand what their doing for a change
Yep!
People tend to confuse coaching with a company/business. It isn't it. I know that athletic departments are run as a business but coaching isn't.
Pretty much every coach thinks that every other coach is doing a good job because they are all doing the same **** in practice. So they all are okay with hiring a guy that didn't work out at another spot.
Maybe the Rubicon, but seems we crossed that years ago....I suggest that our Rubicon was the abandonment of the running game and both lines.
PS; The Rubicon is one ugly jeep!
I have some insider knowledge on this but you guys have to promise to keep it here. Winter conditioning was the best we've had in a long time, guys working harder than ever before. New approach, better results.
Did we even have a D-line last year, hell most of the time it didn't look like we had linebackers either.
Like we havent heard this before.. let me guess, they are gonna shock the world. Blah, blah, blah.
"Wade is also a proven developer of offensive linemen. In 11 seasons as a full-time FBS offensive line coach, Wade has seen his linemen combine for 23 all-conference awards."
Hope this turns out to be true.

I'd like to know how many of his players played in the NFL.
