Hawkeye fan here. I come in peace. I feel your pain. I see obvious parallels here between what Hawk fans had been going through and what you all are unfortunately experiencing. A bad OC affects much more than just the offense (see Brian Ferentz). A bad OC poisons every aspect of the game. A HC who stands by a bad OC is a bad HC. You have a really good (potentially) QB in Riola. He is not ready for prime time yet though and his developement is being hindered by playing behind a bad O-line and poor play calling. He will end up getting hurt, lose his confidence, or transfer, or all of the above. Start HH and let DR develope as needed. Just my perspective from this side of the river. I wish you guys the best. You have suffered long enough. Sports are supposed to be fun to watch.
Thank you, Hawkeye brother! I too can see the same parallels. FYI, even though I’m a Husker fan, I have the utmost respect for the Hawkeyes! You guys always play tough, physical football! I always enjoy it when Nebraska and Iowa play. Great rivalry!
Amazing! I totally agree with you. Nice to see an honest, intelligent point from a Hawkeye 👍 Congrats to you guys for putting it on Wisconsin this past week
Probably one of the most even handed, thoughtful, yet passionate presentations of the current state of our beloved Huskers. I admit my faith is shaken by the troubles that don’t seem to be taken seriously. It feels like we’ve slipped back into the ambivalence seen during the last dark decade 😞
You are spot on. I’ve used the business analogy with other fans since Pelini was fired. Being a head football coach is no different than being a CEO of a corporation. If you’re paid to perform and you don’t, you get replaced. What is it that is so difficult for people to understand? Hell, pay me $1.4 million to fail and be fired. I’ll sign up today.
I’ve always died on this hill. The thing is, Pelini actually performed. He was 67-27 during his tenure and we were ranked every season, and we fired him because he was an asshole? I’ll call it coaching. I love Nebraska, but Pelini was right when he said we’re all a bunch of fair weathered fans. Pelini and Solich are two coaches that could have really developed this program. I like Coach Rhule, if we continue to fire coaches, like we do, this program will never see the playoffs let alone conference championship games, and no coach will ever want to have a job here.
@@Rustyruss137 I agree about Pelini and Solich. I disagree about coaches not wanting to come here. Coaches know they are paid to perform. With guarantees in contacts, who wouldn’t want to coach a major college football program knowing they will never have to work the rest of their lives if they fail? Like I said, sign me up!
@@smedleybutler5276 This is a great school for a NebraskaNice(TM) but mediocre coach to come to, fail, get fired, and walk away laughing, your pockets stuffed full of gold.
Jon, Good case you've built & I agree with you. I called the plays when I was a HS coach. There is a simple way to defeat what UCLA was doing on the presnap - go on quick counts! Quit using motion and just run a play on the first sound. Roughly 70% of the time, you'll catch them out of position and they'll quit doing it after you've burned them a time or two. Exactly what you want!
Brilliant argument for change Jon. Spot on. I turned 82 the other day and it doesn't look like my hopes for living to see another great program before I die are not going to happen and have been in vain.
At 80, I find myself in your siruation, too, SCOTTSBLUFFSKER. But at least we had the experience of two great coaches leading remarkable teams for many years. Most of the current fans didn't, yet they keep the faith. I don't compare any coach to Osborne, who was simply a genius in so many ways. But there are outstanding coaches out there who can find their way to consistent success in a football environment that mitigates against it. We just don't have one.
Remember how Eric Chinanders defense was so confusing that the players were always thinking instead of playing by instinct? That’s kind of how I feel with Satterfield.
A few things I’ve seen this season. 1- No identity on offense. 2- the defensive intensity seems to waiver every other game…no consistency. 3- Dylan is a freshman, but I noticed, even in the first three wins, that he is not accurate on crossing routes even when he had a clean pocket. Also, he gets real nervous under pressure. Understandable as a freshman. 4- Besides 17, our starting WRs can’t separate (or block). 5- O-Line is underperforming
#1 is just media fluff/rhetoric that's used when struggling for an explanation as to why a team is playing poorly. It means absolutely nothing. They have an identity. They're Nebraska. It's in bold letters at the stadium, it's printed on their jersey's and that's what the "N" on the helmet stands for. You didn't use the term, but the same can be said for "complimentary football". What does that mean besides the offense doing their job by putting points on the board and the defense doing their job by keeping opponents off the board? They only way that term actually means something is if they say nice things about (compliment) each other on their way on and off the field.
I'm from Columbia, SC. We were shocked and delighted when Nebraska hired Satterfield. His offenses were unprepared more times than not. His play calling was baffling at times and he would call plays that the Gamecocks did not have the talent to pull off. At times you couldn't understand what the offense was trying to accomplish. I'm sure he has forgotten more about football than I'll ever know, but the one consistency in his play calling at SC was he didn't put his offensive players in positions where they could be successful.
You make a lot of good points. I used to think that if you get rid of a coordinator you wait till the offseason. But then I start thinking I'm the old adage anything worth doing is worth doing now. Plus you want to send a message to the recruits that you are working towards a better tomorrow
They need to interview Jon Gruden for OC. Jon Gruden with Dylan Raiola would be so incredibly fun to watch as Jon has simply one of the greatest minds in football and knows how to develop quarterbacks.
@@REL3712 I understand why you would think that but I strongly disagree. Since Jon has been kicked out of the NFL he has gone on the record multiple times that he's willing to coach at the college level. Since nobody has been even willing to interview him, i think it's safe to say if we gave him a look, he would highly consider it. Especially since we don't know how long Rhule will be here (may be an opening in penn state soon). Also Gruden and Rhule know each other
The most troubling thing to me us that the team has regressed since about the CU game. Something needs to change and a big part of it in my opinion is that the mindset of this team needs to change, the team is not really displaying a winning attitude, they almost seem ok with mediocrity and that is simply not acceptable
Excellent breakdown as to why our offense performs so terribly! The analogy of a manager of a fast food restaurant makes it clear why Satterfield is failing.
You teased me! I thought he had gotten fired. I’m deeply concerned. The team looks awful. The last decade has been a nightmare. I’m close to breaking. HOW MUCH FALSE HOPE CAN WE TAKE???????
Satterfield did a lousy job at South Carolina also! When he got there he had rattler as his quarterback, and he didn't get him better either. Rattler regressed while he was at South Carolina under satterfield. And the fans in South Carolina exploded with thanks to Nebraska for taking this inept coach away from them so they did not have to fire him and pay off his contract. I wish that when Nebraska hires a coach, they don't give them free reign as to all their assistant coaches. We also need to look for a new special teams coach. He has not gotten our players better and there are times you would like to say why are we catching the ball to run it on kickoffs when we could just call fair catch and get out to the 25. And this catching a ball going out of bounds has to stop.
I know you saw and liked my previous comment last week saying I was becoming a mini Jon, but this has put a nail in the coffin right at the start of the video. "But I thought that, because I'm a genius,..." then proceeding to laugh at my own genius is exactly what I do. You're alright there Jon!
My favorite Nebraska play is a 30 yard pass to a slow tight end who is four yards behind the line of scrimmage and tight up against the sideline with two skinny wide receivers doing some sort of effeminate blocking or none at all. One would think I would be tired of seeing it this year, but one of these games, their defensive coach will say, "They certainly won't run that same old tired @ss play anymore, ever!" ...and that's when we fool them!
The thing that I have noticed is that other teams have figured out that you can pressure our line QB with a blitz and it will overwhelm the line and lead to a sack or incomplete. Right now we need to figure out some quick slant plays to counter the pressure. Right now Satterfeilds response is long drawn out Wr routes, followed by poor route running by WR's for no seperation, and running screens with horrible perimeter blocking.
Trev really screwed us when we look at compensation for these coaches, too. Satterfield is in the top 10 offensive coordinator pay wise, yet produces somewhere in the 90s range. I think hes getting $1.4 million a year. We can't expect production when we don't incentivize it. We shouldn't have to beg a decent coach to come here. Look at Cignetti, exhibit A.
Trusting the process only works when you can see actual improvement. You'd be hard pressed to find anything outside of the qb position that we are objectively any better at this season than last year. A handful of things that are actually worse. Can tell us that things are moving in the right direction but we all have eyes that tell us thats not true.
What did you think of Rhule’s presser today? He said they’re bringing in outside entities to evaluate the staff. This means this to me: 1. It’s a copout to make Rhule feel better about firing certain people so he can be like “I’d keep you but sorry the people we brought in say you have to go so I have to do what they say.” Or, and much more terrifying 2. Rhule has no idea what the problem is even though every person, my dog included, can see the team’s issues. What do you think?
Colorado fan here, just want to say I enjoy your content. You guys could very well win out or at least win 2 out of 3. USC is in a tail spin and Wisconsin looked bad against Iowa. Do you think winning a game or two would be worse in the long run since it might give Rhule a false sense of confidence in Satterfield?
The problem Rhule now has is Cignetti. This 2-3 years needed to rebuild was just shown a better model. Other teams like UCLA are also showing improvement over the course of the season and Nebraska is not. People were already questioning Rhule about Satterfield last year so he has known this was a problem long before now. If he wants to keep the heat off himself right now he should remove play calling from Satterfield now and replace him after the season - along with McGuire. For the amount of money we are playing Satterfield we should be able to find a MUCH better option...
Thanks for saying it out loud with conviction. I agreee. Let the world know we are on the hunt for an OC right now. It will let Nebraska fans and players and recruits know that Rhule is trying to improve. We need that cause we look dead in the water right now. He went out and hired great DC and it’s worked pretty damn well. At OC he hired his buddy who has no real good record. Do what he did with the DC and hire the best guy at OC he can find. We have all eyes on us with Riaola. Generational talent and could be the hype and skill we need to restore Nebraska football. Just hire Solich as OC and break the curse haha! Make Red Big Again!!!!
Nailed it! This is big time college football and a lot is on the line. Firings are clearly necessary and if they don't happen and we go into another season with teh same staff, and it doesn't go well? Oh boy...you'll see lifelong fans leaving the program in droves. I'm so close to just giving up I can't stand it. Will Rhule do what's necessary? His whole career and reputation depends on it.
Jon, bravo! Matt did say that he was gonna be the game manager and he was going to let his other coaches do their jobs. Satterfield is failing Rhule and Rhule has got to see that.
The Strategy is on Rhule the tactics are on Satterfield. I think strategically the team’s performance should be questioned. Tactically changes need to be made. I respect Rhule’s willingness to let his coaches coach but at some point you need to step in and take control. We’re past that point at this stage.
Satterfield making $1.4 million for the 99th best offense in the country is ridiculous and he needs to go. That's tied for the 7th highest offensive coordinator pay in all of college football. He's never been very good as an OC at any of his coaching stops so why in his second year is he making that kind of money for such poor results. The 24 or 25 year old receivers coach needs to go as well.
@mattchvala4674 Ouch ya, that's too much money. Maybe demote him to defense against the dark arts, lol. No, but in all seriousness, we do need a new OC! No offense to him, but someone far better suited for the OC position in a D-1 legacy backed program.
I think we’ve all watched the case for 9 games this year….if anyone is still defending him and his ability to call plays they are either ignorant to football or willfully blind
Hate to "put anyone out on the street" but to be fair I'm sure all our coaches have decent buyouts. Satt...if he doesn't go, can impact recruiting, & keeping D.R. He's gotta go.
He’s getting paid handsomely to perform. And he’s failing miserably. It’s part of the job; perform or be replaced. The corporate world would do the same to us.
It’s a combo of both the OC and the players, but I 100% agree that you don’t just wait around and let the “process” unfold. You just have to look at the 2022 offense to see why. Trey Palmer and Mark Whipple were only here for one year and broke the single season receiving record. Was the rest of the offense good that season? No, but at least there was something about that offense that opposing defenses had to seriously respect or they were going to get torched. There’s nothing about this years offense that commands that level of respect with the current OC and players. And there’s evidence that you can bring in a new OC/players and at least command that respect within a year. So why wait around?
Head coach issue…maybe O coordinator…YES D coordinator…I think so WR coach…Yes Strength and Conditioning…ABSOLUTELY!!! No one ever talks about this!! We are slow, unathletic and just DO NOT look like a physically gifted team!! We have not one player that looks dominant and can strike fear into opposing players!! None of our running backs can properly pick up a blitz!!! We have the BEST strength facilities out there and it looks like no one uses them. It’s pathetic and disgusting. In the 90’s, we were bigger, stronger and faster than any other team. Somewhere along the lines…we’ve become so unathletic it’s despicable!!!! Such a disgrace
oh... i forgot to add on last comment... if the onside kick would have worked ..SCOTT, FROST, .hell he WLD have been praised... we need a spark... damn near...everywhere... LOOK WHAT SCOTT DID FOR OREGONS ...O.C.
@@craiganderson3919 it’s hard to pick up blitzes when the ball is snapped right as the play clock expires. Their backers were in full sprint, unfair to the O line.This is due to Satterfield taking 20 years to call a play. Let the true freshman qb develop ffs
@@ryankearney4315 we need a coach that can develop him. Until we get that, sit the kid. We have a better qb sitting right now. Rhule needs to pull the plug on Satterfield immediately.
Jon, Rhule is evaluating the offense and will take the needed steps to correct it. Satterfield will probably be demoted and his associate will call the plays.
What Rhule is doing with Satterfield is what was done with Scott Frost. The AD kept Frost for 2 or three years too long. And allowed the team to regress! Why make the same mistake all over again???? It's like we haven't learned anything from that mistake!!!
It's also like you don't apply what happened with past relationships directly to new relationships because they're not the same. I'm not sure what you want here? Rhule fired? If that's the case, it's going to cost around $80M. That's a crap ton of money on a hunch.
Satt doesn't play calls that raiola is comfortable with he's comfortable with 10-15 layered throws over defenders and he's only calling screens and deep balls with wr that get no separation
this is what I've been saying, the offense looks exactly the same every week, if his initial plan isn't working, there's no other plan, its just oh lets throw more screen plays, to me, honestly, being the wide outs coach, or the line coach, if Satterfield had a plan, maybe we would have more than 7 potential plays in our offense, maybe our offense needs a tad more pieces of flair, I don't know, I do know if the offense had been a tad better, I think we could have beaten Ohio State, but I think Satterfield is, the offense looks stale and confused, and all of the other coaches on the offense depend on Satterfield, that to me says it all
I'm still a Matt Rhule fan and follower but when we went from a winning team to a team that seemed to forget how to win and offense just to get a little stake and in his post game presser he reminded me of me and my partner in crime after the game which we lost and (we had a perfect record my Senior year). 0-9. and as we're in a hurry to get back to the car and the cooler and do myCoordinator job decide where the beer party was and I hate to say this but Sattts after the game attitude was a lot like mine and I wasn't a coach . He just kind of has a oh what the hell attitudo Everyone of us have made mistakes, fortunately we weren't coaching at the UN . Obviously Rhule saw something inSatt that nobody else did Following the pres conferences after the games never showed me signs of him being a great OC when he lost to Indiana his attitude showed between nothing and less than nothing I don't see what waiting till after the season is over going to gain ,My Coach,My Corhuskers,and the fans like myself Cutting the rope sends the rightmessages😊😊😊😊😊to the players Satt had the reins to calling 😊😊 which also is his job to motivate his players to be a head of the aposing defenses and from the cheap seats where I sit I didn't see the kind of motivation that you have. Coach Rhule,you are still the man. On Monday you got coach on board that will help you right the ship. Firing Coaches and friends is never easy. The sooner you get it over with the better I would think that these young men that are coaching football and life will 😊apriciate youandrespect you. YOU ARE THE MAN. GBR
Saterfield needs to go agree. BUT firing a coordinator midseason is conceding the season. To fire a coordinator now, you cannot hire another mid season, all your candidates are still in seasons of their own, you are going to turnover Satt’s playbook to someone else to call. You’re going to leave a position group without a position coach. The only way I would make that move is if that coordinator is so toxic players are ready to leave, coaches can’t work with him, it has to be REALLY REALLY toxic.
Nebraska Football has become an easy paycheck for the revolving door of Athletic Directors and Coaching staff for a long time. Too long. Apathy is knocking at the door again for many fans. Sad. Sadderfield? I can't even come up with a decent joke at this point. GBR!
If you were at Memorial Stadium you felt it, most Husker fans have had enough. We’ve had enough of big ten officials, Head Coach hiring blunders, four years of high fuel cost and terrible inflation and low commodity prices. UCLA came and picked a fight with our players and we folded. You guys with TH-cam channels will be the last to give up.
Mr. Corn Nation, as one Husker fan to another OH, we will be as good as Ohio State someday, and we will beat all of them in the 10 Someday. Just not until we let go of a few balloons (airhead coaches) from the program. Win 3 more games; see you next fall. Lose even 1 more...well, there are better options to fill a D1 coaching position.
I quit watching our games starting with Indiana because I knew we sucked, really bad offensive line, receivers not running routes right and not blocking at all, no communication, and hanging Raiola out to dry on badly called and executed plays. We're still in the Frost crap show area of development. THose 4 and 5 star recruits we have brought in are gone they will move on to better teams.
Time for ADTD to start doin his job as CEO of athletics. It's time to look at restructuring contracts starting with HCMR if he won't do the right thing and get rid of Shitterfield and Mr. no-real-coaching experience Maguire. Let him go work for his daddy.
You really think Garrett McGuire is gonna develop any of our WRs? You really think Satterfield is gonna workout after crashing and burning at South Carolina? We have a psychological offensive staff. They just try to motivate. They don’t know how to develop good position groups. Donovan got some of the OL to improve. Fire Garrett McGuire, fire Satterfield, and see how much that helps.

Satterfield being fired is a given. Rhule's seat is heating up now.
Iowa has increased offensive output tremendously over last year with their new OC.
The performance numbers don’t lie. Either Rhule quickly shifts course or Dannen will be forced to overhaul the entire thing.
I hope coach MATT Rhule is reading these comments...

They probably should. I couldn't blame them if they did
Instead of being "This year's FSU!", next year we'll be THIS year's FSU.
FIRE SATTERFIELD
My favorite Nebraska play is a 30 yard pass to a slow tight end who is four yards behind the line of scrimmage and tight up against the sideline with two skinny wide receivers doing some sort of effeminate blocking or none at all. One would think I would be tired of seeing it this year, but one of these games, their defensive coach will say, "They certainly won't run that same old tired @ss play anymore, ever!" ...and that's when we fool them!
I see teams in the SBC pull that play off fairly often, but they have the speed and fire to do it.
The thing that I have noticed is that other teams have figured out that you can pressure our line QB with a blitz and it will overwhelm the line and lead to a sack or incomplete. Right now we need to figure out some quick slant plays to counter the pressure. Right now Satterfeilds response is long drawn out Wr routes, followed by poor route running by WR's for no seperation, and running screens with horrible perimeter blocking.
Hope we can hold on to Rialto for next year....
Who
it's RAVIOLA
Trev really screwed us when we look at compensation for these coaches, too. Satterfield is in the top 10 offensive coordinator pay wise, yet produces somewhere in the 90s range. I think hes getting $1.4 million a year. We can't expect production when we don't incentivize it. We shouldn't have to beg a decent coach to come here. Look at Cignetti, exhibit A.
Trusting the process only works when you can see actual improvement. You'd be hard pressed to find anything outside of the qb position that we are objectively any better at this season than last year. A handful of things that are actually worse.
Can tell us that things are moving in the right direction but we all have eyes that tell us thats not true.
Great video
What did you think of Rhule’s presser today? He said they’re bringing in outside entities to evaluate the staff. This means this to me:
1. It’s a copout to make Rhule feel better about firing certain people so he can be like “I’d keep you but sorry the people we brought in say you have to go so I have to do what they say.”
Or, and much more terrifying
2. Rhule has no idea what the problem is even though every person, my dog included, can see the team’s issues.
What do you think?
I think we'll probably talk about this tonight on the live show..... hahahahah.
Weak CEOs often bring in outside consultants to validate what they want to do before they do it.
Sometimes I wonder if Rhule has the proper football I.Q. to get a team to finish well.
If you notice during the game Rhule had a call sheet. Maybe to observe what Satterfield is doing?
Colorado fan here, just want to say I enjoy your content. You guys could very well win out or at least win 2 out of 3. USC is in a tail spin and Wisconsin looked bad against Iowa. Do you think winning a game or two would be worse in the long run since it might give Rhule a false sense of confidence in Satterfield?
The problem Rhule now has is Cignetti. This 2-3 years needed to rebuild was just shown a better model. Other teams like UCLA are also showing improvement over the course of the season and Nebraska is not. People were already questioning Rhule about Satterfield last year so he has known this was a problem long before now. If he wants to keep the heat off himself right now he should remove play calling from Satterfield now and replace him after the season - along with McGuire. For the amount of money we are playing Satterfield we should be able to find a MUCH better option...
Thanks for saying it out loud with conviction. I agreee. Let the world know we are on the hunt for an OC right now. It will let Nebraska fans and players and recruits know that Rhule is trying to improve. We need that cause we look dead in the water right now.
He went out and hired great DC and it’s worked pretty damn well.
At OC he hired his buddy who has no real good record. Do what he did with the DC and hire the best guy at OC he can find.
We have all eyes on us with Riaola. Generational talent and could be the hype and skill we need to restore Nebraska football.
Just hire Solich as OC and break the curse haha!
Make Red Big Again!!!!
Rhule and crew isn't the answer. We get out coached every time.
If you watch south carolina satterfield videos it explains it all. Same stuff differnent team
It definitely felt like two different people were calling plays in the UCLA game. Everything seems rushed and our receivers cant block.
Nailed it! This is big time college football and a lot is on the line. Firings are clearly necessary and if they don't happen and we go into another season with teh same staff, and it doesn't go well? Oh boy...you'll see lifelong fans leaving the program in droves. I'm so close to just giving up I can't stand it. Will Rhule do what's necessary? His whole career and reputation depends on it.
Couldnt agree more!!!
Good luck getting the media in Nebraska to ask tough questions!
Jon, bravo! Matt did say that he was gonna be the game manager and he was going to let his other coaches do their jobs. Satterfield is failing Rhule and Rhule has got to see that.
The Strategy is on Rhule the tactics are on Satterfield. I think strategically the team’s performance should be questioned. Tactically changes need to be made.
I respect Rhule’s willingness to let his coaches coach but at some point you need to step in and take control.
We’re past that point at this stage.
Satterfield making $1.4 million for the 99th best offense in the country is ridiculous and he needs to go. That's tied for the 7th highest offensive coordinator pay in all of college football. He's never been very good as an OC at any of his coaching stops so why in his second year is he making that kind of money for such poor results. The 24 or 25 year old receivers coach needs to go as well.
@mattchvala4674 Ouch ya, that's too much money. Maybe demote him to defense against the dark arts, lol. No, but in all seriousness, we do need a new OC! No offense to him, but someone far better suited for the OC position in a D-1 legacy backed program.
I think we’ve all watched the case for 9 games this year….if anyone is still defending him and his ability to call plays they are either ignorant to football or willfully blind
Those numbers are mind boggling. Imo, Teddy and Corc loss Really Hurt.Need to Build Line Depth Asap! 3 games left! Win All 3!
I’ve been preaching this for 2 years.
Hate to "put anyone out on the street" but to be fair I'm sure all our coaches have decent buyouts. Satt...if he doesn't go, can impact recruiting, & keeping D.R. He's gotta go.
Nah, we have to set precedence that you need to PERFORM here. If you don't, you're for the streets!
He’s getting paid handsomely to perform. And he’s failing miserably. It’s part of the job; perform or be replaced. The corporate world would do the same to us.
@smedleybutler5276 i hear that. The few layoffs I've gone through, wish I'd a gotten a golden parachute like these guys get.
@@saccfa It has happened to me, as well. I got 3 months pay. I couldn’t retire on that like coaches of today can.
As a manager, or coach, if you don't have a plan, you're the plan.
It’s a combo of both the OC and the players, but I 100% agree that you don’t just wait around and let the “process” unfold. You just have to look at the 2022 offense to see why. Trey Palmer and Mark Whipple were only here for one year and broke the single season receiving record. Was the rest of the offense good that season? No, but at least there was something about that offense that opposing defenses had to seriously respect or they were going to get torched. There’s nothing about this years offense that commands that level of respect with the current OC and players. And there’s evidence that you can bring in a new OC/players and at least command that respect within a year. So why wait around?
We are excelling at making negative progress. That's hard to do, but we're doing it.
One more firing and we are back !!!!!! I CAN FEEL IT THIS TIME
We just need to keep another incompetent staff for four years. It will work this time for sure.
Scatterbrain has to go yesterday....
Head coach issue…maybe
O coordinator…YES
D coordinator…I think so
WR coach…Yes
Strength and Conditioning…ABSOLUTELY!!!
No one ever talks about this!!
We are slow, unathletic and just DO NOT look like a physically gifted team!! We have not one player that looks dominant and can strike fear into opposing players!! None of our running backs can properly pick up a blitz!!! We have the BEST strength facilities out there and it looks like no one uses them. It’s pathetic and disgusting. In the 90’s, we were bigger, stronger and faster than any other team. Somewhere along the lines…we’ve become so unathletic it’s despicable!!!! Such a disgrace
When I think of a great S&C coach, I think of (historically) Boyd, of course, but much more recently, Scott Cochran.
Why did he call three pass plays.!! Our OL is not even fair. "Cool your jets," Sir. (Been a Big Red fan since the late 60's!)
Goshhh I love this channel, *BY THE WAY IM A COLORADO FAN* 😅😏🩶
Cool, maybe we could hire Prime Time. He'd get the job done for sure. 🥱
I love Bo pelini
oh... i forgot to add on last comment... if the onside kick would have worked ..SCOTT, FROST, .hell he WLD have been praised... we need a spark... damn near...everywhere... LOOK WHAT SCOTT DID FOR OREGONS ...O.C.
Chasing 3 documentary needs to end. We need to focus on the task at hand. Not everything needs to be Memorexed.
The O line is terrible the skill players are average at best and the QB is overrated!
@@craiganderson3919 calling a freshman overrated is hilariously stupid a
@@craiganderson3919 it’s hard to pick up blitzes when the ball is snapped right as the play clock expires. Their backers were in full sprint, unfair to the O line.This is due to Satterfield taking 20 years to call a play. Let the true freshman qb develop ffs
@@ryankearney4315 we need a coach that can develop him. Until we get that, sit the kid. We have a better qb sitting right now. Rhule needs to pull the plug on Satterfield immediately.
@rhettsholtz2827
Paying a freshman a million dollars to play is proof that the qb is overrated.
@ that’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard lol money doesn’t make a kid better clown
Now we know why South Carolina was glad to get him.
Jon, Rhule is evaluating the offense and will take the needed steps to correct it. Satterfield will probably be demoted and his associate will call the plays.
The play calling is trash. I agree with you.
Goddamnit!!! Does ANYBODY think the “Air Raid” offense is the key to fixing our offensive woes????
What Rhule is doing with Satterfield is what was done with Scott Frost. The AD kept Frost for 2 or three years too long. And allowed the team to regress! Why make the same mistake all over again???? It's like we haven't learned anything from that mistake!!!
It's also like you don't apply what happened with past relationships directly to new relationships because they're not the same.
I'm not sure what you want here? Rhule fired?
If that's the case, it's going to cost around $80M. That's a crap ton of money on a hunch.
Change workin for Iowa
Feels like Frost 2.0 except we have a better defense
Satt doesn't play calls that raiola is comfortable with he's comfortable with 10-15 layered throws over defenders and he's only calling screens and deep balls with wr that get no separation
Fire sat and let Thomas take over
He ain't getting fired. It woulda happened already. The most we can hope for is a "reassignment of responsibilities"
this is what I've been saying, the offense looks exactly the same every week, if his initial plan isn't working, there's no other plan, its just oh lets throw more screen plays, to me, honestly, being the wide outs coach, or the line coach, if Satterfield had a plan, maybe we would have more than 7 potential plays in our offense, maybe our offense needs a tad more pieces of flair, I don't know, I do know if the offense had been a tad better, I think we could have beaten Ohio State, but I think Satterfield is, the offense looks stale and confused, and all of the other coaches on the offense depend on Satterfield, that to me says it all
I'm still a Matt Rhule fan and follower but when we went from a winning team to a team that seemed to forget how to win and offense just to get a little stake and in his post game presser he reminded me of me and my partner in crime after the game which we lost and (we had a perfect record my Senior year). 0-9. and as we're in a hurry to get back to the car and the cooler and do myCoordinator job decide where the beer party was and I hate to say this but Sattts after the game attitude was a lot like mine and I wasn't a coach . He just kind of has a oh what the hell attitudo Everyone of us have made mistakes, fortunately we weren't coaching at the UN . Obviously Rhule saw something inSatt that nobody else did Following the pres conferences after the games never showed me signs of him being a great OC when he lost to Indiana his attitude showed between nothing and less than nothing I don't see what waiting till after the season is over going to gain ,My Coach,My Corhuskers,and the fans like myself Cutting the rope sends the rightmessages😊😊😊😊😊to the players Satt had the reins to calling 😊😊 which also is his job to motivate his players to be a head of the aposing defenses and from the cheap seats where I sit I didn't see the kind of motivation that you have. Coach Rhule,you are still the man. On Monday you got coach on board that will help you right the ship. Firing Coaches and friends is never easy. The sooner you get it over with the better I would think that these young men that are coaching football and life will 😊apriciate youandrespect you. YOU ARE THE MAN. GBR
Saterfield needs to go agree. BUT firing a coordinator midseason is conceding the season. To fire a coordinator now, you cannot hire another mid season, all your candidates are still in seasons of their own, you are going to turnover Satt’s playbook to someone else to call. You’re going to leave a position group without a position coach. The only way I would make that move is if that coordinator is so toxic players are ready to leave, coaches can’t work with him, it has to be REALLY REALLY toxic.
Well, two years ago defense improved mid season without hiring a new coordinator
I sense the offense is just going through the motions.
So do I and that needs to be fixed.
As much as I hate to say it college football is not just a game anymore...first and foremost it is a business. Only the smart business will succeed.
Nebraska will be better when the players decide that winning is important to them.
Nebraska Football has become an easy paycheck for the revolving door of Athletic Directors and Coaching staff for a long time. Too long. Apathy is knocking at the door again for many fans. Sad. Sadderfield? I can't even come up with a decent joke at this point. GBR!
If you were at Memorial Stadium you felt it, most Husker fans have had enough. We’ve had enough of big ten officials, Head Coach hiring blunders, four years of high fuel cost and terrible inflation and low commodity prices. UCLA came and picked a fight with our players and we folded. You guys with TH-cam channels will be the last to give up.
Mr. Corn Nation, as one Husker fan to another
OH, we will be as good as Ohio State someday, and we will beat all of them in the 10
Someday.
Just not until we let go of a few balloons (airhead coaches)
from the program.
Win 3 more games; see you next fall.
Lose even 1 more...well, there are better options to fill a D1 coaching position.
This sounds like a broken record. Devil monkeying with Nebraska.
MR record at Nebraska 10-11.
I quit watching our games starting with Indiana because I knew we sucked, really bad offensive line, receivers not running routes right and not blocking at all, no communication, and hanging Raiola out to dry on badly called and executed plays. We're still in the Frost crap show area of development. THose 4 and 5 star recruits we have brought in are gone they will move on to better teams.
ridiculous you can't put all the blame on OC most goes to head coach
Replacing head coaches and/or CEOs within a short time frame is extremely expensive when there might be a cheaper path to success.
Time for ADTD to start doin his job as CEO of athletics. It's time to look at restructuring contracts starting with HCMR if he won't do the right thing and get rid of Shitterfield and Mr. no-real-coaching experience Maguire. Let him go work for his daddy.
In God we trust. All others bring data. Well, this is data. Well done!
Should go after Casey Woods from SMU as a replacement
Send Satterfield to Tetrapak...
You really think Garrett McGuire is gonna develop any of our WRs?
You really think Satterfield is gonna workout after crashing and burning at South Carolina?
We have a psychological offensive staff. They just try to motivate. They don’t know how to develop good position groups. Donovan got some of the OL to improve. Fire Garrett McGuire, fire Satterfield, and see how much that helps.
