Should we fire Satterfield??

[Mavric]

Fair, i just really want to see a 2-3 game stretch, against big ten teams, that gives me hope we’re headed in the right direction for next year and the year after. I wasn’t expecting a 10-2 season, it’s just extremely frustrating to see some of the same challenges we did last year, with a much improved set of players 

Eh ... I think we have one player that has a ton more talent but isn't using it the best right now.  Other than that, I'm not sure our offense has any better players than we did last year.  Most of them are the same guys and the two new WRs are barely contributing above zero.

Well, our whole rb room isn’t injured like last year. 
 

Malachi Coleman came on late for us last year and hasn’t even sniffed the field. Neyor was always a risk post knee injury, I think banks is being heavily under utilized.

I know he a freshman but I’d like to see more of Carter Nelson. The concept of redshirting is a thing of the past for a guy like this. If the upper class men were playing well I’d get it- but from what I see on the field I don’t know why we’re not getting more game action for some of the younger guys.

Fidone is healthier- the lone bright spot yesterday was how we utilized him- much better use of his potential then the questionable quick screens and behind LOS throws we had been using him for

I must have missed it but I haven’t seen people calling for Rhule and White to be fired.   If so, those people would be wrong.   However, with Satt….he is not a good OC and has no business being NU’s OC.   If anyone disagrees, just point me in the direction of Satt EVER, having an offense worth writing home about.   Him Having a top tier offense? 

I would love nothing more than an offense that was carving up opponents with quick, precision passes and a rushing attack to lean on from time to time, while scoring north of 34 points a game.  Hitting soft spots in zone coverage, and using rub routes against man.  And a running game that uses outside zone to allow RBs to start outside, and choose to work back inside or stay outside.  

I also rarely hear Husker fans appreciate a play that works as designed.  Those plays that work will be attributed to the players.  If the play doesn't work, it falls back onto the OC.  Even when the players mess it up.

I would agree and I think most would assume year 2 things would improve. Better players, staff continuity, year 2 fit everyone including the strength program. New WRs, new RB, new OL, New QB. Freshman contributors in Barney and Nelson at your disposal. Yet our offensive production is somehow worse in big 10 play. 
 

I didn’t realize how pathetic it was until I saw a guy post on the rivals page. Through the first 5 games last year in big 10 play we averaged 18.4 points a game. So far this year through 4 games and Ohio state this weekend so it prob goes down is 18.25. 
 

Sorry but the offensive staff has gotta be looked at in off season

Yes, we seem to do that often.  Fire this guy fire that guy... meanwhile it's poor O-Line blocking or a D guy playing his man as if it's a zone just made to be run through, some LB not following the ball and buying the fake, etc.  We see it unfold on the field and maybe do not consider that the well-coached assignments were not carried out, plain and simple. 

But then there's Foley.  

 

[Hilltop]

I think Satt could be very good with an elite offensive line and veteran skill players.   Unfortunately I can't envision us getting to that point under his leadership.   I'm normally a glass half full guy but I'm not very optimistic about our offense going forward.

OU has decided that the future is now.  Venables has fired OC Littrell.  There is just too much at stake anymore.  With 'free agency' and NIL, players can and will go elsewhere.  With a 12 team playoff, the additional exposure and revenue from being in the playoff cannot be ignored. 

We have to ask or I should say, Rhule needs to ask, what are the cost and benefits of keeping OC Satt long term for the next 2-3 years or until the end of the season.  If the O is dysfunctional now, what do we gain by waiting until the end of the season.  Keeping players from transferring and securing new players via the portal and HS recruits is vital.  Based on Saturday's performance - I don't expect us to look good to either group after the OSU game.   To much at stake not to make some changes at OC and ST coaching.   We were riding a wave of good PR with the 5-1 start and with Raiola's performance.  Both have crashed back down to reality, and it is 'Nebraska being Nebraska again" not the 1990s version but the last 10 years version.

Saturday’s 35-9 loss to the Game Cocks — a game in which OU had just 291 yards of total offense and four turnovers — really put things into perspective, however, and the Sooners decided change was needed, shaking up the coaching staff by firing offensive coordinator Seth Littrell.

“He’s been a winner his whole life, you know? He’s a competitor, he’s a winner, he’s a leader,” head coach Brent Venables told reporters about Littrell’s underwhelming performance as OC. “I know he hurts, and then he’s disappointed for the University of Oklahoma, a place he loves dearly, and certainly every one of his players who lay it on the line every single day for us."

It is 8:10 am and Ed Foley & Marcus s#!tterfield are still employed. It is truly a crime against humanity and the great state of Nebraska.

And as I note in my post above - OU had the courage to fire their OC.   Some know the seriousness of the situation.

They should probably go ahead and fire their coach too. Oklahoma is going to get the Nebraska treatment and realize that they sold their soul for money.

.......the Nebraska treatment.....they sold their soul for money. 

Yow ow hey whoa ow .... what?   ... different thread I know.. but...

Yes, I don't see OU doing well long term.  Texas is the big money bags and the big recruiting area - they will get treated better in the SEC than OU.

Between the Oklahoma and Utah OC openings plus everything else. Brennan Marion, the OC at UNLV is going to make himself some serious money this upcoming season.

It’s amazing to see the urgency some coaches/programs have and the lack of urgency/coaches others (see NU at this point) have when it’s painfully obvious a change is needed in at least either ST coach or OC coach or both.

Yes, but it is only loyalty that matters said Bill Calahan to Kevin Cosgrove and Scott Frost to Chin.  

In today's world - progress and success as defined by wins is what only matters.  The more wins, the more NIL money, the more portal talent comes your way  -- which leads hopefully to more wins and the repeating of the cycle.
