  1. Jake Peetz with the LA Rams is who Rhule thought he was gonna be able to hire to be with QB Coach. Peetz decided to stay with the Rams.
  2. Haha!!! Yes. I missed his “probably” in his original statement for which I said “my bad” (in Cher from Clueless voice).
  3. Given the fact that Rhule was trying to bring in a different QB coach before settling on Wager at TE coach with Satt as QB coach, I do think think Rhule had to move on from his original plan.
  4. Fans expecting Satterfield to be fired after the dumpster fire we have had with the offensive roster were being unrealistic. Yes, a big piece (Sims) of that dumpster fire was created by Rhule, but Satterfield has been asked to make chicken salad out of chicken poop. Rhule is going to give him at least one more season to improve the offense. I do agree with those who think that a real QB coach should be brought in, so that allows Satterfield to coach TE’s and be more of a walk-around OC like the original plan was.
  5. I disagree that it’s only a 1-loss season with average QB play. NU got smoked against CU and Michigan, and who knows how other games end up. Other teams may play more aggressively against NU’s defense if NU had a better offense.
  6. I disagree that a win against Maryland was assured with a FG, but it puts NU in a much better position to win the game.
  7. That would require NU to have a running back as talented as Rex Burkhead, along with another one as talented as Roy Helu to play RB along the “Wildcat QB”.
  8. NU was keeping it simple against Minnesota when Grant fumbled, but I won’t beat that horse to death. Agree that Rhule should have played it conservatively against Maryland. I said immediately after the game that it was the first game that coaching cost NU the game.
  9. What was the other game besides Maryland? I don’t count Minnesota as the INT at the goal line was before halftime and NU was trailing at the time. Going for a TD in that situation was the correct call. Plus, they didn’t know that Sims was going to be a turnover machine that he ended up being?
  10. If you are paying $6 for over the air NBC, that’s on you.
  11. I love a mobile QB and the QB-run game as much as anyone, but I don’t think it’s smart to depend on it, especially in the Big Ten. The QB run game creates fumbles and injured QB’s, which we have seen this year and under Frost. I don’t like statue QB’s, but I am leaning towards a system that uses pass-first QB’s who are mobile enough to keep defenses honest.
  12. But gosh darn it, the coaches were idiots for not playing Coleman more snaps early in the season, even when there were healthy more experienced WR’s.
  13. Texas A&M is full of grads with way too much $ who think they need to be on par with Oklahoma and/or Texas. You are correct in that they have never won anything of substance, but don’t tell that to an Aggie.
  14. Peacock bought the rights to show Yellowstone on their streaming service. Might have been due to lack of content during the writers and actors strikes.
  15. If Jimbo is doing anything next year but spending his $76 million buyout, I would be disappointed in him.
  16. I will probably keep it around for another few months because there will be multiple NU basketball games on Peacock this season. I’m sure I spend $6 a month on stupider stuff.
  17. I have been indifferent to Satterfield’s play calling and his offense as a whole given the roster he has, and the injuries that has hit the offense this year. Until yesterday, I don’t think there is a game where his “play calling” cost NU the game. I think it must be very challenging to call plays given the lack of talent and experience. I don’t like everything he has done this year, and agree that he should have done the final 3 plays of the game yesterday differently. Running 3 relatively conservative plays to assure at least a FG and burning more time off the clock is what should have been done. Despite that, the players did him no service by their lack of execution on the final 3 offensive plays. You seem to put lack of execution on the coaches, I put that on the players. It’s another difference of opinion, which is fine.
  18. I do truly see your view point. You didn’t like the Satterfield hire and your opinions are based on that. I was the same way with Riley and his coaching staff. It’s all good.
  19. Yes, Satterfield needs to be better. I agree with that. He’s the adult and should be setting the players up for succes. I am trying to be more of a middle ground approach, and put blame on coaches and players. If you only want to blame coaches, so be it.
  20. Good question. It’s clear that Coleman may not know what he is supposed to be doing on that play. Of course, Coleman should have been starting in September regardless of how he does in practice or if he knows what he’s supposed to do on every play.
  21. The pass is a good yard or two in front of Coleman, but he shouldn’t even be near that area. Coleman is supposed to run a hard slant inside and clear take that CB with him. I think Kemp is also supposed to take that route deeper, so there is more space to deliver the pass. Of course, fans wanted Coleman to be playing because of his physical talents, but then they aren’t happy with the results when he messes up on a play.
  22. You cannot honestly compare NU to Michigan. They have future NFL guys all over their o-line. It’s easy to line up and run the ball 30 straight times with that line. They were also up 2 scores for most of that Penn State game, where their defense was dominating. It’s easy to be conservative when being in that type of game. Most OC’s aren’t the “rough and tumble” coaches you seem to want. I agree that Satt could do a better job coaching and preparing the players and play calling during the game, but at some point the onus goes on the players. Satterfield’s play calling was good enough to go from NU’s 3 to Maryland’s 6 yard line, but then we know what happened from there.
  23. I don’t disagree with you. Satt shouldn’t have called that play. It’s not all on Satt though. Maybe it’s a play that they have repped well in practice. I like slot corner routes when run well. This was run very poorly. Satt called 2 runs to the RB on first and second down. The QB decided on his own to run a different play on first day and the run was stuffed on 2nd down. I do agree that on 3rd down, they should have ran again to get a chip shot FG attempt. NU had to get a lead, and force Maryland to get a TD to win in regulation. I don’t know how to fully judge Satt this year. I understand if some fans are out on him though. I do get frustrated with his situational play calling, but it has to be difficult to call plays for players who aren’t executing what you call.
  24. In the post-game, Rhule said the pass was a corner route which was read by the defender on Coleman who came off him picked off the pass. Slot corner passes can work great, by design, but the execution on this is poor. 1) Kemp doesn’t get enough depth in his route which would put him in a 1 on 1 matchup with his defender. 2) Coleman runs a poor route and doesn’t run a hard slant inside his defender and doesn’t clear enough space for the slot-corner route to work. 3) Purdy throws a flat pass at the goal line putting it deep in the corner giving Kemp a chance to run under and try for a catch. This play sums up a lot of what is wrong with the offense. 1) Kemp hasn’t been healthy to practice much, but they want to throw him into games. His timing and route-running isn’t as crisp as it should be to be effective. 2) Fans say “throw in the young WR’s like Coleman so they can get experience” but this route by Coleman shows why he wasn’t getting many reps ahead of more-experienced WR’s earlier in the season. Yeah, Coleman can look great running free in open space against NW, but he dropped a well-thrown ball by Haarberg in the first half, and he ran a poor route on this play. Having to count on young guys will get them experience, but it may also cost NU wins for this year. So fans have to understand both sides. 3) Fans have been calling for Purdy to get a series in games, what can hurt? Well, he’s not getting many reps in practice. So, yes, he can look good in a few plays, but look confused and not run the offense as called/designed on others. He was confused coming out of the huddle and burned a timeout earlier in the drive. He kept the ball on first and goal, when he was told to handoff. He then throws a poor pass into traffic on 3rd and goal. With every possession being important, coaches can’t just throw in a guy for a series because they can’t trust to run the offense. Now, I actually agree that Purdy is the healthier than Haarberg right now, so he should get the first-team reps this week. Sims makes too many mistakes to ever see the field in a meaningful snap.
