Yeah I get the home thing. But a guy that talented, that plays on the offensive side of the ball? Seems he could land about anywhere he chose to. Heck Nebraska could take him and he’d still be pretty close to home 

He's from Des Moines.  Only about 1.5 hours farther to Lincoln than Iowa City.

If Iowa, what a strange choice. Not sure they’ll have an OC named by spring…..and even then it’s still Iowa.

Home is home for some people

This is kind of fun what football has become.  A head coach with a career record of 34-48 that is 0-3 in bowl games gets a 5 year contract for god knows what kind of $$$.

Purdy definitely got duped here, but I guess he should have also done his research to see if his new, now old coach was in any rumors of going elsewhere.  

Definitely?  Kind of how it work really.  Was a bunch of dominos.

There it is. I'd heard Glenn Thomas was a done deal over a month ago, they were just waiting for the Steelers to finish their season.

Nice job

I hope we hire every available coach from every disbanded staff of a successful team.

There are a bunch of coaches that could do a good job at Bama. Problem is, none of them is capable of meeting the expectations. And Alabama will not lower their expectations one iota. Next guy is doomed to failure no matter what. The best they can hope for is a good coach that wants to pad his early retirement. All prospects have to realize it’s probably a career ender. Well maybe not a career ender but they certainly have to realize it won’t be a long term job.

agree.  thats why i'd take a run at liepold.

I'd go after Leipold if it was my call.  I know he's 60, but they are going to need a "transition coach" after Saban.  Bring him in for 5-7 years and allow people to move on from Saban.  A lot like we never talk about Osbourne any more....  He's got a ton of experience and I think he'd do a good job.

People think we have terrible luck with coaches.

 

The Browns had Bill Belichick as Head Coach for five years.  Saban was his DC for four.

 

Belichick was 36-44 as their HC.

 

They were 31-34 with both of them.

 

 

I'm sure many people get many different takes from this.  My first is "Nice Sweatshirts".

But seriously, to me it shows how many things must be right or "inline" to be successful.  There are so many parts of the machine that must be working in order to win.

what are we up to like 50 guys coming in next year? 

From what I understand we are figuring out the NIL game and how to maximize our scholly's

That's cheating! He's not even getting a full extension.

Dude is obviously a beast, but those are "no reps" where I come from.

Nobody wants to follow Saban.  It's a real issue.

It's going to be a challenge to win there I believe.  At least they success they are use to.  What Saban was able to do while turning over coaches that got promoted every year I still don't think it talked about enough.  Yeah, he won a lot of games, but he was constantly doing it with new coaches.  Roll Tide!

A little off topic but damn, I really really wish Frost would’ve worked out here. He was so young when hired and coulda had a 30yr run, thru ups and downs. 
 

alas, things are as they are. I’m really glad we have Rhule now and with this dynamic coaching shift, conf realignment, retirements/carousel plus the portal and NIL…I think we got our guy at the exact right time: 

Old enough to know better and young enough to build and maintain. 
 

I see some good things happening here for Dear old Nebraska U 

I'm glad we found out in 4+ years and it didn't linger for a decade plus.  Flirting with a 9 win season.  Winning 6-7 per year.  Making it to bowl games, but never in the hunt for a conference championship.  Thanks for the memories coach Frost.

why has no one mentioned scott frost as sabans replacement?

Same reason he hasn't been mentioned for any other jobs.

Frost Advisory.  16-31

That's a simple one and one where I'm actually impressed with Satterfield.  He went to a way more run heavy offense trying to use the option.  Yes....we still had to pass some.  No offense today could run 100% of the time.  

But....if Dylan is really as good as advertised and we have decent WRs, expect next year to be way more like what he really wants to run (while still being simplified some due to a true freshman QB).  And, I expect us to pass more.

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.

This is the 4th place he's been on Rhule's staff.  Rhule has picked him 4 times.  They worked together at Western Carolina prior to that. 

Again, not saying he's the right guy, but he needs a chance with a full deck.  Or something closer to one than he had.

Quote

Although Temple finished 2–10 during Satterfield's first year in 2013, the Owls' offense amassed nearly 400 yards per game, the most by a Temple squad since 1979

Quote

In 2022, the Gamecocks finished the regular season 8-4, with the last two regular season games being wins over highly ranked rivals Tennessee and Clemson. The Gamecocks scored 30 or more points in 9 games (including the bowl game) for the first time in school history and broke numerous offensive production records in Satterfield’s final season.

In another thread it said he graded out at 69 which is better than some of our O linemen this year.

At Baylor he was rated #2 in Big 12

Suggesting Jon Gruden as a candidate for every job in both CFB and the NFL? Jesus Christ, are you stuck in 2015 or something? 

 

Gruden is now completely unemployable because he sent racist texts. The biggest single offense you can possibly commit in today's society.

 

I don't think that Gruden is a very good coach anyway. But his texts were what ruined his career, not the fact that he's a pedestrian and overrated coach. 

Welcome to Huskerboard

Need a splash hire.  Probably Gruden or Urban.

If next guy brings his buddies instead of the best it’s over.

Why can't he do a TPS report?  Did he not put on the cover sheet?  Did he even get the memo about the new TPS cover sheets?

Just now, DefenderAO said:

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.

1. Good stuff.  He's already here, so this is ridiculous itself.  The context is what he should have done.

2.  Thompson made a choice.  But much like #1, this has nothing to do with Sims or HH performance.  It'd be neat if we could have seen a Thompson with no Palmer play out at Nebraska.  I have a hunch it'd be about the same result as HH.  Atleast HH could run.

3. Monday morning coaching.  He did get pulled.

4.  This is Gold.  Work Harder.  Write a book on this.

5.  He was going to have the surgery the week he started his first game.  The moved it because HH was hurt and there was almost no chance of putting Sims back in.  Being "the best" in the room is damn near pointless when considering the room.

They've recruited two elite QBs.  Picked up a multiple year starter Olineman, a RB and possibly two WR's (waiting on Banks).  Maybe give Satt more than 6 months before you decide how terrible he is?

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.  

How about you answer the question before you start asking them? 

What would you have done?  What would you have done to fix HH, the third string QB's throwing motion and ability to read D's in 2 months?  What would have done to help Sims overcome one of the worst Turnover problems in modern football history?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion...

 

One thing to consider is trust.  Money can't buy that and to build something special, a guy really needs to trust those around him.  In my management career, I have had much better success with guys I develop, and trust, than hot shots brought in as a band aid.  I think the same is true in coaching, and many other areas of leadership. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I have a hard time seeing Satt as an elite OC right now.  That said, he has a tremendous amount of experience and with the right direction, he just might turn into what we all want.    

The other thing if we are going to do real world comparisons is Consultants.  You can bring in consultants to bridge organizational gaps and/or build capabilities.  I think that is what is going here.....but I don't really know.  Even if DH becomes the QB coach and not an analyst, he's still significantly below his demonstrated skill level which would almost make him a consultant.

Sometimes you end up hiring the consultant.  Not very often, but it does happen.

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.  

The fact that you're basing Satt's performance/capability on the bold is a tell.   What would you have done?

You're the F100 leader.  You've got a guy that can't do a TPS report and another that is a loose cannon and makes lude comments.  One can't do his job and the other is a liability.  You're on a hiring freeze for 6 months and these are the only two employees that can do their job....barely.  Take us through it bossman.
