Offensive Staff 2023

[TheRealPeliniTheCrutch]

This is the indefensible thing about Rhule.

He could have got a real group…plenty of $$ to work with and he had actual clout at the time.

He turned it into the same deal as me sending one of my kids to the concession stand at some horrid baseball game with $5 and them coming back with 2 blow-pops.

Yep

great analogy. We ended up with a flop uncle o line coach and a 23 year old “coaching frat” hire. Just for starters.

More Like taking the kids to haymarket park with $100 and instead of bringing back a cold beer and nice burger, it’s some stale sweet tea with no ice and petrified licorice from the 90s. Lots stronger options with the resources Nebraska has

we also did not even hire a QB coach until the following off-season

It would be like if you had a million dollars and you got yourself a Kraft dinner.

Didn't he try to hire one right away and the dude basically came up with any excuse to NOT be on Rhule's staff?

"I have to wash my hair"

The Satterfield hire said everything I needed to know.

This one hire set the table for his tenure. He needed a Tony White version for OC and he picked his neighborhood buddy who was a stoner, lost 3 jobs and got kicked out of school to be his guy. The fact Rhule looked at Satts body of work, how S.Carolina was responding and still wanted THAT guy? Said it all.

His offensive hires made the anti-Rhule crowd guaranteed to be right. My co-workers were all pissed at me for saying he was an automatic fail and should be fired in four years, his offensive and special teams hires were all nepotism based which either spoke to him not giving a f___ or to him being so offensively incompetent that he just fell back on guys he knew. He actually might have thought that defense would carry him. Lol

It was supposed to be Mickey Joseph at WR but Mickey had an incident so can't blame Rhule for that, you can however blame him for choosing a 12 year old instead.

Iirc Jake Peetz from the Rams was supposed to be QB coach/ Co-OC but he smartly turned it down.

My question though was how much of his staff debacle was caused by trying to hire guys with NU ties? Remember he had pressure to hire Mickey and the QB coach/co-OC Peetz. Then Mickey had his issue and the Peetz backed out late. That combined with almost having to keep Raiola probably doomed his offensive staff. I don’t think Satt would have been calling plays if the Peetz had landed in Lincoln. His DC hire looked pretty damned good at the time but he never really committed to being at NU long term.

What was the guy’s name with Nebraska roots we thought was coming that first year as QB coach and Co-OC?

Nm. Peetz. Should have read the whole thread first.
