After watching the interview I will say that in the context of what he was saying it sounds more like what he wants in an ideal scenario and a message to the roster that if you are here they are going to try to develop you. I think it's clear from this year they are not going to sit around and ignore areas we need a big upgrade.

Or as much as some Huskers fans did for Colorado at the start of this year

Yeah I think that's the name that was mentioned. I guess not an official QB coach so it would be his first time coaching the position.

Don't we also already have an analyst that is a QB coach also? Someone mentioned a name of one our analysts as the first option for QB coach when the season ended.

I think he is so good that he is probably a take no matter what but I think that position is probably the one I'm least concerned about on this roster. We had 2 true freshman who look to be really good players already, and other players like Butler who were able to get good pressure. Would maybe get some more production from James Williams with more playing time as well.

Hey with the playoffs going to 16 I think just making the playoffs in the next 3 seasons would be huge. Im thinking ranked by the end of next year and then playoffs year 3.

This is the guy mentioned in the other thread. Works with Raiola along with several NFL QBs.

I really don't think Ewers is that good. He has probably the best help of anyone in the nation and played in the league with the worst defenses. Ewers improved a lot this year to get to be an actual good QB but he is far from great. I don't think a team would see more or less success if you switched the 2 QBs this year.

McCord is visiting campus right now, and we are so far the odds on favorite to land him. I dont think anyone can say 100% for sure why but it does seem like he was maybe pushed out a little while OSU looks for a better QB, and also his dad seemed to be upset about something. To me he seems comparable to like a Ewers level QB just with better decision making. He has a solid NFL level arm, but wont just take over a game. OSU usually goes for a QB that in college does more than that.

From all the info I have seen we have money in NIL for the top QBs. The issue is when a QB like Ward has the top schools also going after him offering the same money he is going to go to a school with much better offensive weapons and just a general better set up for success.

No we are blaming turf at this moment in time. Our record next year will determine how much blame needs to be assigned following the season.

Man why would a DC want to go on that staff? There is clearly something going on with how Riley runs that team that is not conducive to having a good defense. They have had good coordinators and elite players and just have never put a good defense together. Grinch was getting legit HC buzz and has a lot of stink on him now he will have to work to build his name back up.

Which year are you saying our offense was awful?

Yeah I mean if he wants to be closer to his family or something, but they even had a worse year than us and fired their OC. I would guess we have quite a bit more NIL money than them too.

So I guess the rumor is that ND is taking Leonard over Howard. Haven't seen any team other than us linked to him realistically.

Howard is a slam dunk imo. He ticks every box for a QB we need. The only issue I have with him would be injury concerns, but if we have Howard and could get a younger QB and keep Purdy I would feel very secure in the QB room next year. I don't think we are going to attract a QB that is better than Howard.

If Rhule wins 3 games in his 4th year then we should definitely fire him. I dont care how hard the schedule is.

Look I don't think Satt is the long term answer at all, but I think right now he is calling an offense complimentary to what Rhule wants to do and trying to make something work with the personnel that we have. We went from 122nd last year in TOP to 44th this year. I think we committed to slowing down the game to help out a defense that played well but could definitely get abused in the right circumstance. I also know the turnovers are the biggest issue but I'm not sure what you can point out specifically in his offense that is the cause of them. I don't think Rhule is just ignoring the issues with our offense and pretending everything is fine. I trust Rhule to have a long term plan because we have the evidence that he knows how to do that.

South Carolina must have made a huge jump on offense and won more games this year once they dumped Satt. Oh wait they scored 6 less points per game and also missed a bowl this year. Welp those fans were certainly validated.

I dont care who deserves what. If we won 0 games this year and were offered free extra practices I would take them and not even ask why.

Couldn't handle Nebraska though

Anyone seriously saying we shouldn't go to a bowl doesn't actually care about this team getting better.

Still finished with one more win that Colorado so that's something.

Looks like the highest probability we hit all game according to ESPN was 58% directly after the Hill pick. Probably would have been high 80s if the holding was not called.

Hill even made what should have been a bowl game securing pick. That would have been the play of the year.
