But cracks in the Banker/Riley relationship appeared this spring after Riley dismissed Hank Hughes as defensive line coach, a move that Banker seemed to disagree with. In March, Banker told the World-Herald that he was “pleased” with Hughes coaching.

"What has he done and what's his decision?" Banker asked reporters when asked him about (Greg) McMullen. After reporters told him what Riley had said, Banker responded "to be perfectly honest with you, I haven't had a conversation with him and that was news to me as far as any kind of decision."

After the spring game, Mark Banker seemed to be the only person in the football program that was unaware of Greg McMullen’s decision to retire. At the time, reporters asked Banker about McMullen, and Banker seemed to be out of the loop with the decision by Nebraska’s most experienced defensive lineman.

The defense struggled under Banker last season and had come under heavy criticism in the final years of their time in Corvallis. Thought they did make strides in 2016, under-performances on the big stage continued to raise questions. Now, the focus of the defense changes as Riley will begin the process of finding a new coordinator of the defense.

The Huskers now have two assistant spots to fill on the staff and likely a third as a 10th spot on the coaching staff is likely to be approved in April. Riley has acted decisively so far this offseason, previously dismissing Special Teams coordinator Bruce Read and the addition of Donte Williams, originally announced to join Stewart coaching the secondary.
