He wasn’t the Steelers QB coach. He was an “offensive assistant” there.

 

Mike Sullivan has been Pittsburgh’s QB coach for the last few years.

And, our Tight Ends will now struggle throwing the ball !

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.

maybe that's how they got Satterfield to switch.

 

Rhule: "hey Mark.  We are looking at making some staff changes.  You okay continuing to coach Haarberg?"

 

Satterfield: "Yes.  Thank you!"

 

Rhule (walking out the office door):  "We moved him to TE..."

Just curious what conclusions can be jumped to.  Started in Atlanta the same year Matt Ryan was a rookie.

 

Atlanta Falcons Offensive Assistant (Ryan's stats):

2008 - 61.1%, 16/11 TD/INT, 7.9 ypa

2009 - 58.3%, 22/14, 6.5

2010 - 62.5%, 28/9, 6.5

2011 - 61.3%, 29/12, 7.4

Atlanta Falcons QB Coach:

2012 - 68.6%, 32/14, 7.7

2013 - 67.4%, 26/17, 6.9

2014 - 66.1%, 28/14, 7.5

 

Temple:

2014 (before GT) - 200 ypg, 53.1%, 13/16, 6.0

2015 (QB Coach) - 217 ypg, 56.9%, 20/8, 6.9

2016 (OC/QB) - 237 ypg, 57.6%, 22/13, 8.2

 

Baylor:

2016 (before GT) - 280 ypg, 56.0%, 33/15, 7.6

2017 (OC/QB) - 287 ypg, 58.2%, 23/14, 7.5

2018 (OC/QB) - 290 ypg, 60.9%, 22/13, 7.8

2019 (OC/QB) - 255 ypg, 62.4%, 24/8, 8.0

 

UNLV:

2019 (before GT) - 206 ypg, 53.6%, 20/12, 6.4

2020 (OC/QB) - 185 ypg, 58.7%, 6/4, 5.7   *COVID

2021 (OC/QB) - 202 ypg, 58.4%, 11/14, 7.3

 

Arizona State:

2021 (before GT) - 194 ypg, 65.8%, 12/10, 8.1

2022 (OC/QB) - 251 ypg, 66.8%, 18/10, 7.5

 

There's some extenuating circumstances in about all of those - Ryan starting as a rookie was likely to improve, PJ Walker was also young before GT took over at Temple, Baylor was a mess, UNLV had COVID in the mix - but there seems to be a noticeable improvement in stats after he took over direct control.  And he's got a lot of OC experience so he hopefully has some good input into the overall offense.

Sherrone Moore won a title and is the OL coach and OC.  Are you mad out OC isn’t a QB coach?
