SIAP: Rhule The Enabler

I’m starting to have a little empathy for Satt given that I believe he’s doing the job to the best of his abilities. It’s unfortunate he has to be our punching bag when the head man is the one who employed him to do a job he can’t do.
Good but painful read. Thanks for the link. We have 2 weeks to prepare for USC. A reassignment between Satterfield & Thomas should be worked on during this time.
Please Football gods... don't saddle us with yet another HC who won't make staff adjustments in season.

Nebraska’s offense, coordinated by Marcus Satterfield, rarely had any flow or showed an identifiable strength.
Obvious troll article. Desperate attempt to further a narrative.

It seems so obvious and necessary but part of me is worried that if we don’t fire Satt now, he might pull one decent game out of his *** and give Rhule enough false justification to keep his bum *** for another season.
I think Dannen needs to find a politically judicious way to get the message to Rhule; that he needs to make changes or I’m cleaning house and starting over with my guy.
Pretty much nailed it. I hope we hire a general manager. It creates a buffer for the Athletic Director. A GM would force his hand. A GM is not renewing this guy‘s contract. He’s out on the street. Suck it up Rhule. The GM should have no ties to Nebraska.
Peter principle at work. Promoted to your highest level of incompetency.
He’s made a ton of money at something he isn’t very good at. You should save the empathy.
The Peter principle explains football coaching hires to a tee. How many positions coaches get promoted and fail at coordinating, or how many coordinators get promoted to head coach only to fail miserably.
Sad part is he’s been doing this a while. His track record is what it is. We’d be absolute fools to expect any different.
The real concern for me is Rhules possible inability at evaluation (or maybe it’s instinct). Sims was a disaster, Satt is Satt. Two pretty important pieces, both of them appearing to be rather large misses at this point, and it is still in the infancy stages of his time here. Who else is in positions, making critical decisions, that shouldn’t be. Point being, are we screwed for the next 3-4 years because we don’t have a guy who can (for one reason or another) bring in the right people?

Once Satt gets his QB and more time(can’t make kids learn new terminology), then this offense is gonna cook!!!
Here is the deal... His son puts his pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. If Dominique Raiola is going to be that dad he isn't helping ****. I get it that Satterfield is struggling with any consistency, but I have seen Dylan miss wide open receivers when he had 5 seconds to make a decision. I am sure Dylan's **** stinks too
The only thing I do not like is that the coaches need to teach Dylan that this isn't high school, he doesn't have NFL players to throw to and he needs to learn how to play within the flow of the offense. Satterfield isn't helping because his offense is so freaking predictable it is scary.
With all that said, firing Satt isn't going to happen until Rhule has a plan in place. Right now he isn't ready to make that move. I want nothing more than for the offensive staff to be replaced, but I also know it is a process and you have to have a suitable plan before you pull the trigger. Right now the best thing is hiring an interum, but that isn't going to get a W against any of the 3 teams we are going to face

Needs to be fired.
imagine being a recruit and reading this:
Dylan Raiola is rapidly regressing in a dangerous way that could damage, if not destroy, his career.

Now that is fugged. The GM is just Matt Rhule’s long time friend..wtf is the point? What are we doing?University of Nebraska - Official Athletics Website

Ruhle has to accept blame for hiring Satterfield. That part is on him. Anyone who watched Satterfield and what he did at just South Carolina alone seen this coming. If you didn't you either didn't see what Satterfield was doing or you fell for the old banana in the tail pipe that the Nebraska media and new coach always sell you when they come in to Lincoln.
I don't have empathy for Satterfield though. I normally don't bring up money but this dude is probably a top 10 paid OC in the country and trots out a Jr High offense into the field weekly. Hell it gets worse with a week to prepare lol. We should just work everyday thru the bye and scrimmage hard and don't game plan and or self scout at all. He's a trainwreck.
Holla
I’m just saying that Rhule is to blame, and changing OC might not have the effect people think. Look what happened in 2022 in the first 3 games with a new OC and same old coach.
Satterfield needs to go. No improvement, no imagination, zero sense on how play calling builds on itself. In game adjustments always too little too late.
UCLA defense is mixing their looks showing multiple looks up front pre snap and doing a great job of confusing our freshmen QB early?
How about a series of hurry-up instead of the same effing set each time? Smash their *** for a series while they are moving their front around. Let one of your backs have some fun while they are not in position. Make THEM adjust so your QB can get a read on what they are doing and settle in.
Nope. Just left DR in there to fry.
If Satterfield is our OC 2 weeks from now, Rhule is screwed.
The linked article might be a hit piece, but it's very accurate. We have one of the worst offenses in the nation. It is WORSE than the sum of its parts, and that lies on the coordinator.

Did you guys hear the broadcast talking about how our o-line gives away run vs pass based on their stance? If that's true, it's so dumb I can't find the words to say how I feel about it.
I keep looking at twitter hoping for a release regarding reassignment of duties.

have we reached the "different realm of existence" yet?
still 100% positive Rhule was a better hire than Deion?
I'll hang up and listen.
It's possible you are right. I'm not disagreeing with that part. All I'm saying it's the Satterfield hire was predictable imo.
Could he make another bad hire? Sure but imo it HAS to happen. Year end Satterfield will be gone almost immediately imo. Otherwise u are basically committing suicide as HC at Nebraska.
Holla
Didn’t you just claim “KDS” yesterday? New day though huh…
Rhule was not a bad hire and of course was a better choice than Deion. It’s what we went with so we still need to let the season at least play out. Guys like you wanted Solich gone, so there isn’t much to listen to from you.
"of course was a better choice"
care to expand?
I'd like to remind you that you said you'd rather go 5-7 with an L to CU than 4-8 with a W over them, so please leave the head to head stuff out. would hate to see you hypocritically argue against a post/point you were quite proud of just months ago.
The reality is that Deion’s team is tied for 2nd in the big 12 and can make the championship game. Win that and guess what, they do the impossible and make the playoffs. I hope it happens because we can always hang our hat on beating them this year !!!
