Wisconsin Week Pressers

Rhule made sense, at least to me. He said that the internal message within the offensive side has been the same for weeks/months. His opinion is that the players didn't take Satt's input as seriously. Maybe they paid too much attention to the fans or the media calling for Satt''s job as a reason to ignore what he was instructing. Then Holgo comes in, says the exact same things, but in a different tone and presumably less friendly. The messenger changes, but the message remains the same. Harder to blame Satt if the new guy is pointing out the same shortcomings of players or position groups. 

IMO, Satt has always been the fallback OC option. Rhule wanted to hire Peetz and Mickey Joseph upon his initial hire. Then pursued Holgo last December. When those pursuits didn't work out, he went with a coach he trusts to follow his football philosophies (physical, all-weather offense, etc.). Now that Holgo is here, hopefully he enjoys the next few weeks (months) and decides to latch on for awhile. Should have a bright future if we can just keep it all together.

Wasn't his first choice at Temple either....Under Rhule he has always been a 2nd choice...

I mean .... people constantly claimed how stupid Frost was for not having a dedicated Special Teams Coach.  Then complained that Rhule was stupid for not having a dedicated Quarterbacks Coach.

And look how well those position groups have been treating us, now that we have people in those postions.

Just because you hire someone doesn’t mean they will be good at their job.   I mean if that’s the way to look at it, then why have a dedicated Head Coach?  Look how well that has worked out for NU.   
 

The Gold Standard of football (NFL) has special teams coaches and even assistant special teams coaches because it’s that important.   If NU has no real coaching restrictions, it stupid to not have someone dedicated to a portion of the game that represents about 15%-20% of the game.  
 

Maybe hire the right guy 🤷‍♂️
