Dana Holgorsen Hired as Offensive Coordinator

[Bvegas]

Why does a supposedly top shelf coach making millions of dollars a year need to bring in a consultant after more than a year and a half to figure out what's wrong with his team?

Heck, for that matter, why do coaches even need assistant coaches? If they're really that good at coaching, why don't they just do it all themselves?

It is not gonna work for NU in the Big 10.  I think folks need to realize this.  Air Raid + NU + Big 10 = coaching career graveyard.  But hey, if we keep paying, they will keep coming.

We will now at least see if it was all due to Satt 

[The Murphinator]

Bye bye Satt

[presidentjlh]

Thank goodness.

[Husker in WI]

Well that role sure did evolve quickly! Really curious how this goes, the scheme changes have to be relatively small with just a bye week to implement. But I don't think the scheme has really been the issue, so maybe tweaks and a new playcaller is enough.

Scheme doesn't really need to change, just the playcalling.  The hardest part of being an OC is calling plays.  All these guys know how to scheme and where to attack the defense.

 

The hard part is calling the play.  Dana has balls, you need to have balls to call O

Because Rhule is a nice guy.  That is really it.

Right, more curious about how comfortable Holgorsen is making those playcalls when they're things he hasn't traditionally had in his offense. I'm sure he can do it though, just very interested to see what it looks like. And how angry some fans are the first time we get tackled for loss on a bubble RPO or screen.
