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.

1. Demote him or exit him. Bring someone better. Pudding doesn't sharpen iron. NU is not a stage to develop a top coordinator position. 2. HH could certainly run and give the ball to the other team. Sims did both of these better than HH and was a national standout at the latter. 3. Pull him earlier. It was clear he couldn't do it. 4. Show results. Let's see your developing OC's produce refined on-field results. Or maybe that's just part of 900K Satterfield's blossoming path to success in D1. 5. EDIT: was on against Satterfield, but no player or coordinator should've been a surprise. They were wildcards and risks, yes. And Sims and Satt failed. The former moves on...the latter gets more development and training I guess.

1. Not hired Satterfield knowing he is average at his best. Show me data that says otherwise. And why would you use this platform to develop a coach? 2. Been extremely leery of all eggs in the Sims basket. It made Thompson's release inevitable. Sims has always been turnover prone. The eyes that saw him as an NFL QB couldn't translate what they saw to results. Sure, the player is responsible, but leaders are also culpable and should have multiple contingencies in place. 3. Pulled Sims earlier in games and the year. Accountability. 4. Worked non stop with QB 2's decision making, reads, and mechanics. This happened? Then. where was the yield? 5. Purdy got hurt at some point, but it's unclear how badly. Towards the end of the season he's now starting. Was he GTG prior to that? It ended up he. was the best in-game QB in the room. Satterfield isn't the guy. Rhule even stated in his last coaching convention interview the season wasn't great. But he's building it long term too. I want it built through players like Dylan, and I see coaches like Satt as folks that cannot get teams or players to the next level.

Where has he shown precedent for this happening in the recent past? I think Rhule is the guy, but I a little dismayed at the eggs-in-basket choices on Sims and Satt. Those were both his hand picks. Now Dana is on the table. I don't see Satt in the same league as him. And, with today's NCAA, DR isn't sticking around for three years of pudding sharpening iron-type development. He wants to win and go pro. Is Satt the way?

So, you're good with a program like Nebraska being a stage for developing top coordinators? To develop football players you need seasoned, proven coaches. Satterfield isn't that.

Develop teenage and early 20's talent, yes. DI B1G Coordinators making hundreds of thousands of dollars? As a F100 company you're not bringing in unproven, failed, or inexperienced ELT members for a massive corporate turnaround to appease shareholders and stakeholders. I'm shocked Satt is being entertained as a mid term option. HH didn't get any better in his mechanics or reads throughout the year. If anything, he got worse. And Sims never got on track.

Tell him you're aware of at least one of their roster members and now know NU was superior.

They're losing right now

With decent QB play we will be better net year. The challenge will be, after that, the schedule gets rough. Do we improve at a more rapid rate than the schedule difficulty. Also, that 18.3 ppg is misleading. 45 of it to the top team in the land and a very weary defense playing in thin air (Colorado).

I'd take it. First year challenges to play at Oregon has little translatable bearing to success with how Rhule is building this team.

"HCMR" also gives me chills. Time for Ice Cream!

Any surprises to this point or expected flips?

It will be interesting brother-to-brother conversations if the O Line can't keep Dylan on his feet. I don't trust Satterfield to bring water from a cooler to Rhule.

Peyton Manning had 12 of his 17 seasons where he threw 11 or more interceptions in the NFL. It would be absurd to say that Raiola is better than 65% of Manning's NFL career. Different competition and contexts. Raiola is great grab and has huge potential in college. Our QB room was probably the worst in the entire country. The comparison drawn in the tweet, to assert the above, was still asinine.

Our QBs were bad. Raiola is good. This comparison is just absurd.

Didn't he tell us Raiola wasn't coming?

Very profound. You must be the life of all parties. "I still hate that '95 team for giving up 24 to Florida..."

Again for anyone interested.

If Georgia is back in the mix to the degree it's a coin flip, this is an embarrassing development for the entire Raiola family. A complete clown show circus. In reality, their family has too much pride and respect for it to have gotten to this point and Dylan not be N.

Other people have integrity and dignity.

I noticed that too but left it off my comment. His uncle coaches the same; one of our recently weaker units. Extended one year in contract. Exciting for the program but that line had better protect the kid...

Those who've seen him, how well does he read through progressions? The highlights I see are he's got a cannon arm and receivers who can get behind DB's. How do his skills translate to B1G year one? He better have someone's mind better than Satt teaching him how to see the field.

Raiola

We were 5 - 3 this year with a slew of sliding teams in front of us that managed to beat us. Frankly, I think we make a real jump when we stop having Frost kids as Captains. Those “leaders” are the ones who never made a bowl and were likely too content with their biggest accomplishment to-date…an undefeated 2023 October. Sad.

Well, some opinions became reality. Again, sadly. Rhule better be in the office right now looking for talent.
