Welcome, "Outside Eyes"!

If everyone is tunnel visioned to the same tunnel you can never figure it out. I would notice in the judges scores that people in academia hated my designs because I did not bow down to their one drummer thoughts. Strictly designers were not much better but liked my creativity. The design build judges loved my work,they saw that I did not go with trends or the certain 25 plants academia loved. I was on the cutting edge of new plants and products.
If everyone on your staff think identical and don't look for new ideas or wrinkles you get locked into tunnel vision. Maybe there are too many yes men on staff and need thinned out.
Big 10 games rushing so far
Illinois- 103 yds, with sacks 48 yards (L)
Purdue- 161, with sack 153 (W)
Rutgers- 135, with sacks 97 (W)
Indiana- 81 yards rushing, with sacks 70 (L)
Ohio State- 125, no sacks (L) Haarberg -4 rushing 121 total
UCLA- 127, negative run by Lloyd and Raiola sacks 113 total
Who needs a consultant? The attempts per game are largely 50/50 run pass except for wins against Rutgers, Purdue. Those are the only BIG games so far to have more rushing attempts than passes.

Believe or not there are several Penn State fans that would take Matt Rhule over James Franklin.
Most? Most was after the Illinois game. It is damn near everyone after the Indiana game. It was everyone after that joke show we saw on Saturday against UCLA.
Ugh, yeah. In every business situation I've ever witnessed, when they get to the "bring in a consulting firm to try to fix our problems" stage, it's just a bandaid until bankruptcy. Either that, or you're replacing the CEO with a complete overhaul, which will be the case here. Hate to say it, but this feels like a kiss of death move by Rhule. Probably the most disheartening feeling I've had in the last 2 years with this program. He'll get another year and then he's toast. And rinse and repeat
Hey, HCMR- Still have Dana Holgerson’s number? Hell of a time to bring him in as an analyst. Coach, you have got to find one more win.
Someone has to be the “fall guy” for players not performing to a standard. All fingers should point to Satt. And if Rhule is the lone guy pointing at the players, he should instead point the thumb back at himself, because he’s next in the chain of command.
The problem is we all think DR is a stud 5-star QB. He may turn into that but right now unless he has elite talent around him, he is nowhere close to a 5-star QB. We certainly do not have anywhere near enough talent for him to succeed and he is not good enough to overcome it. At least this year.
You know the coaches are all saying, "Damn, now that Matt has publicly said that, I guess it means they'll be looking at my coaching ability and my position groups performance, too."
All I have to say is they're making from 300K to over a million + a year. You damn right they better be under review also.
But in the meantime, we'll keep playing the same 15 guys on offense.
no single player can carry a team
watch KC tonight - they'll be under center with Mahomes operating the league's 9th most run-heavy offense and making big plays off play action
this is and has always been The Way
He knows there’s a big problem and a the problem is likely his close friend. He wants somebody else to tell him that so he can justify making a change.
I didn't say carry I said overcome. There are a lot of good and great QB's in the NFL. Only a handful can overcome lesser personal or bad coaching and still get wins.
That's the thing, it's not even a handful. It's zero. Zero qbs on earth overcome poor personell and or play calling.
I wanna see Rhule succeed here but this is a steaming pile of BS. I feel like we're getting fleeced with unnecessary add on charges.
********. On paper he has a lot of talent. It isn't being used correctly and I feel we didn't even need Banks and Neyor to come in to start. We just needed depth.
Defenses know if we are running or passing based on OL lining up and defenses know we recycle routes frequently and what routes we run out of what formations. We don't even make it difficult for defenses to stop us and that is just pre snap. I almost wanna give grace to McGuire for this absolute clown show of an offense he has to prepare receivers for, but no pack your **** and get experience elsewhere.
This.

Every person in leadership should have a network of people to confide in, bounce ideas off of, give outside perspective. Matt’s offensive coordinator isn’t getting the job done, Rhules consulting his network. It’s wise. We all know satterfield is going to get canned, but what can we salvage for the rest of the season?
Who says where the money if any is coming from to pay Rhule’s colleagues to evaluate the program? It’s an EXTREMELY normal and healthy practice in business and academia to do this. I believe Dannen and Rhule want confirmation of what they already believe needs to change. Critics of Satt should be happy they’re doing this. Usually these deals lead to personnel changes.
Definitely a smart move. Every good CEO and leader gets outside perspective when things are going both good and bad. If you are standing in the trees, you can seldom see the forest. He is too close to it. Good move. Can't wait to see what changes.
This is pathetic. How about calling plays to exploit a weakness in a defense. I'm so over this fraud
Don't you think the alarm bells should have started going off in a scoreless first half agains Purdue?
Not disagreeing with you, rather asking you and others, shouldn't that 1st half have given you pause on exactly what the hell we were doing in the opening quarter against a very poor Purdue team?
It's understandable to get shut down my both OSU and IND on the road, but Purdue, Rutgers and now UCLA? You would think NU would score at least 1 td against a couple of them, instead, we play an entire quarter against UCLA at home and have 3 plays and 2 yards total offense. Hello????
Saw this on Reddit with a line from that movie office space
Satterfield: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
Bob: Don't... don't care?
Satterfield: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my *** off and Nebraska scores a few extra TDs, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation?
Tom Osborne is 87 years old and hasn't coached in 27 years. Those days are gone.Listen to TO. Have Ron Brown teach receivers how to block.
It's November with multi million dollar staff and we gotta bring in outside eyes??
Sounds like everyone is in over their heads
When it comes to the Xs and Os I would definitely pick his brains. Managing a staff and roster in the 21st century I wouldn’t listen to a word he said.
Truth hurts man. I didn't say he didn't not have talent. He is not a 5 star QB. Not yet and not close. He can get there the kid is very talented.
The OL is a bigger problem than the WR but it is a close second.
For sure, it is a very common practice and probably something they were doing anyway. And I agree they should know what changes need to be made anyway; Rhule is just using this to pass the buck and avoid the question for the time being.
Hopefully whatever consultants he’s bringing in are looking at the entire operation, not just the offense. Change in OC may not be enough to turn this around next year.
