Should we fire Satterfield??

"I think just a matter that I feel like we have the proper runs and formations and personnel that we can hand the ball off and we can get three or four yards," Satterfield said. "I don't want to hand it off and be stupid and hard-headed and say 'let's run at this big defensive line and get a yard just to say we ran the ball' and then it's second and nine. I need to develop trust in myself and make sure I get the proper play called where we can attack the proper edges to fall for four or five yards and eventually make a guy miss and have an explosive run."

Wonder if he reads this board?

We're back to January of this year when some argued the Staff should be developed in a similar vein as to how the players are developed.   Don't believe me?  You can read the older thread I bumped.  It is asinine to think this school, with its budget, is allowing kids and underperformant, hope-you-learn-on-this-job types, to coach.  

We have recruits coming here to become Sunday players, and we're shoveling them to position and team coaches that have no business being employed here.

My concern is our less than offensive staff is going to be allowed to stick around too long and waste Dylan Raiola and the opportunity that comes with flipping this team back to the elite of football. The momentum of adding a 5 star QB will get squandered if we don’t pile up wins to sell the narrative

And now we're having scouts try to estimate his value based upon a line that cannot protect him, backs that run into defensive tackles, and receivers that can't get open or block.  

I think Dylan is great.  A few weeks ago he was projected by some as the top draft pick of all Freshman.  With the current regression, and Satterfield telling us more about what we started to suspect of him, Rhule needs to figure out how to turn it around for the school and kids whose futures ride on the head coach's decisions (or non decisions).

FWIW, more of the offensive issues are on Raiola than some people are claiming. All of the issues you mentioned exist, but he's also not consistently taking the easy looks that are open. We are running a lot of plays designed for quick easy reads to get the ball to guys like Barney and Nelson, and a lot of the time Raiola is passing over those and looking for a chunk play elsewhere. He is great, but he's a freshman and at times he's playing like one - albeit one with an incredible arm.

This is a frustrated offense that doesn't seem to have answers when they can't get to play action.  I say that confidently because you see them trying to use any positive in the run game to get to play action, but it's not set up.  The one answer they seemingly have are screens which don't work because of poor perimeter blocking.  I get not wanting to be a heavy access throw team, but that it what's being given to them, and you have to use those passes to open up deeper routes if you can't get to play action.

Rhule keeps this staff intact next year, I will be on the fire Rhule train.  I said something similar to the bolded.  We are mother friggin NEBRASKA.  A tried and true blue blood program.  We hire a lower tier OC, a kid as WR coach, let Foley still take a check etc.....NO OTHER BLUE BLOOD PROGRAM WOULD DO THIS.  

If Raiola is missing some plays that's on the OC and QB coach.  BUT, Raiola is a product of this environment.  He holds the ball to long and often goes yard/YOLO because that's what he wants.  He doesn't take what he has.  Satt calls plays for what he wants, not what he has.  WR's not blocking is on Doogie Howser.  I'd rather have "less prolific" WR:s who block than guys who don't.  No accountability.  The staff is allowing this.  You fumble you sit (except last week) so how about whiff you sit.  Throw 3 INT's and lose a fumble?  You sit to get some coaching.  

I'm sick of losing.  Sick of the takes years to win, change culture, get the kids we want.  Sick of being undefeated in the off season.  Sick of the morale victories.  Sick of the quitting on the field.  NU needs to get back to NU. Not scheme, as those are so interchangeable, but in identity.  Disciplined, physical and relentless.  

Love the Huskers!!  GBR!!

 
I get that it’s OSU but this broadcast is awful to the business of calling a game. Put Eddie George on at halftime, not during the game for this long

edit: can’t even use the excuse of drinking for posting in the wrong thread, whoops lol
