I know he gets criticism from some posters but I'm liking him more and more. He explained on Sports Nightly how he is currently adjusting the offense to fit the talent they currently have and the offense will evolve to what they want to be as they get their recruits/players in place. Very reasonable approach IMO and different than what a lot of OC's have done previously when they try to fit a square peg in a round hole. He also pays more attention the the OL capabilities.
FWIW - Coach Satt

Right now I'm liking Coach Sat. Hoping he gets some thing to help with the OL coaching problems in the off-season.
It's certainly been obvious lately he's been adjusting the offense to fit the players.
The entire offensive staff has been earning their pay having to coach up so many constantly changing young players.

He and Rhule seem to trust Raiola a lot. I'm not sure why so many here don't.

I think it is the 1st sign of good coaching when you adjust your scheme to the players you have. Rhule and staff are doing that. I think the last guys had too much ego and said we are doing this weather it works or not.
If that's what he said, I'm really liking it. Almost every coach Nebraska has had since Solich left has immediately tried to implement their offense and scheme regardless of the personnel they had.
Bill Callahan was the most egregious example of this. He scrapped 40 years of a winning system that had produced five national championships and a BCS title game appearance in 2001, in favor of a West Coast offense in Lincoln.
Not surprisingly, he also immediately went 5-7 and produced the first losing season NU had had since like the 1950s. It's been downhill ever since, with a few bright spots when Pelini was the coach.
Riley and Frost also tried to run their own systems, which didn't match the skillset of the players they had.
Working with what you've got, and fitting the scheme to the talent level, is a great sign this staff and team are headed in the right direction.

People who played a little ball back in HS and think they know everything about the sport are a dime a dozen. Anyone who is emphatic about how bad Raiola is as a coach is just outing himself as a know-nothing.
