Gamecock fan here...just dropped in to see how Nebraska fans are feeling about the hire, since it was rather unexpected for us. I am personally conflicted. If you asked me 3 weeks ago, I'd have packed his bags for you. But then you have the last games of our season. To put it mildly, our offense was trash for the first 10 games this season. Then, out of nowhere, it was unbelievably potent in the game against Tennessee and looked very good against Clemson. Beamer was adamant after the UT game that Satt was calling plays. Some fans are skeptical because our offense in the last 2 games bore little resemblance to our offense in the first 10 games. If it was Satt calling plays, it begs the question, why did he wait 11 games to try something different? If it was indeed Satt calling plays the last 2 games, most fans were ok with him coming back to have another go round with Rattler. At this point, most on our side are ok with him moving on and see it as a chance for us to upgrade. Will be interesting to see how it works out long-term for both sides. As an outsider, I'm surprised Rhule didn't make a move for someone more established/dynamic as an OC, but he knows Satt better than any of us. It was just such a strange situation for our offense to go from 23 games of mostly forgettable offensive performances under Satt to a historic offensive performance in the final 2 games.
