It's about as good s we could've expected given a tight spot. Rhule doubles down on his Nebraska commitment and affinity. We hire a new AD whom Rhule respects and is excited about. We hire a new president. Talk about emotions for fans. All things considered, it landed in a place that can keep momentum and excitement.

Imagine a world where everyone adopts NorCal tenets of belief. Marcus Satterfield [he/him] is not what NU needs for prominence.

"You don't like what I do. Leave!" Lighten up.

If you're in that camp I mentioned, you tell me. I think Satt is really bad.

Careful. The majority of the board thinks Satterfield is a budding Saban

How Many Games Will the Huskers Win in 2024?
DefenderAO replied to Mavric's topic in Husker Football
Five win team until they show me otherwise. I've predicted four or five the last few seasons. Sadly have not been wrong. -

Athletic Department Tops $200 Million in Revenue in FY2023

How much did Frost expense in alcohol for CY '22? -
We might scholarship strapped, but having your 2nd and 3rd strings as a True Freshman (who backs another True Freshman) and HH is a terrible strategy. As a sign of the right program trajectory, Haarberg would never see the inside of the QB room except to say hello to legitimate D1 QBs.
-
Three handoffs, punt or maybe a couple first downs. The moment we have that kid trying to read a D and throw is nightmarish.
-
HH any better than emergency 4th string QB means we don't like to learn or plan well.
-
He looked too poised, no lost fumbles, and way too high a completion % to fit in to last year's room. Another knock for fitting in is he was able to see the field, knew his team's colors, and was throwing with his strong arm.

The issues were on Offense and some Special Teams. You want to ride Satterfield for a few years in an era where talent goes to greener pastures in hopes he comes around? One of the many knocks on the guy is he is too complex with his playbook. Couple that with this - did you see any improvement from our QB room at all? We have a coach who we want to give more time, in hopes he can be developed, in an era where talent flees in an expeditious fashion, because looking for better coaches and proven commodities is...not the right thing to do? Satterfield is a weak link in the tied-for-second most important coaching role on the team. Let's now build strategic foundations around this fact and all of this "time" we have for him to come around, fingers-crossed hopefulness, and coins in wishing wells. Glad he's removed from QB oversight. Next good move will be to remove his play calling duties. Give him more time to come into his own as a budding OC...

I'll take riding this out to reputability where we can actually call any other program a clown show. Gotta win something to get that repute.

Imagine 21st century Nebraska fans calling Alabama clowns... I'd take the 'Bama circus show now if accompanied with just 40% of their recent success.

Potential Assistant coach change(s)
DefenderAO replied to Boy of the Corn's topic in Husker Football
I do hope I'm wrong. It's not fun to pay people that aren't working for you anymore. We'll see with an upgraded room how well Satterfield can do. I don't trust it especially when there's teasers that Dana H. is available. -

Firstly - I believe Rhule is the guy. He obviously likes Satt. Rhule's one-second-running opinion on the matter is infinitely weightier than all fans' opinions. Rhule did handpick Sims. So he's not batting 1.000. But, Rhule is the guy. The '22 commentary on Satt, from those players, was rough. His situational play calling and complexity as notables. With Sims and HH as some of the worst we've had, how did Satterfield adjust to either improve either or mitigate their known weaknesses? HH's decision making and mechanics regressed throughout the year. He threw sidearm and had no mentality to read a D and make a good choice, much less deliver an. accurate ball. The man in charge of that room followed Rhule to NU and now is responsible for developing our highest rated recruit of all time. -

The cost of bad hires is more pronounced given the landscape of college football. Having a bad OC at the same time as pulling in the school's highest rated recruit, an offensive player, at the most critical position on a team, is something to key on. Hope I'm wrong, but Satterfield does not seem to be the guy. It doesn't take much effort to find a slew of commentary and takes about how bad he was at SC. Couple those comments with the results we saw last year, and he rightfully should be scrutinized. -

With the resources we have, why are we bringing in D tier OC's with an aim to develop them? Satterfield is not very good. The players and results from his last job would agree. Someone earlier stated Rhule likes to develop people. Development of a 19 year old kid in readiness for life and a career in sports is different than developing a lead coordinator who's critical in turning a program around.
