Dana tried to hire Dana several months before Trev left. Dana said he wasn’t ready to coach again then. This was all Rhule. Dana and he have been friends for years.

But, we really don't know, and never will know to what extent he as gonna allow Dana to tinker with the offense. Maybe he wanted Dana to kinda mentor a guy making 1.4M a year who doesn't really understand that offense is execution and rhythm.

Dana is not gonna be some second banana to a guy like Satt, and if Rhule wanted Satt to run the offense and have Dana sprinkle in things, it would have been a total no-go on Dana's part. Guys like him are gonna have total control of the play calling, not some babysitter for a guy whose never gonna "get it."

Dana may have left Lincoln, after several sessions with Satt and just knew there's no effing way that offense was gonna work.

Buried by Matt Rhule’s best friend and preferred OC

Thank God for Troy Dannen forcing his hand or Rhule would’ve had a play sheet in his hands again today!

One down. One to go.

Where is The Preacher and where is The Choir? I guess when we win it is hard to preach. And when The Preacher is not preaching The Choir does not like to sing.

The team and the crowd seemed pretty LOGGED IN AND LOCKED IN to me...

Rhule did bring him in - but I’m not convinced it was entirely his idea. He kept dead weight Satt on staff where most other coaches cut out the cancer.

It was NOT the O line’s fault. It was virtually all Satt.

I am not surprised. I've seen his teams get defenses off-balance and just keep them off-balance.

The transition in terminology wasn't gonna be as difficult as people thought. In football, there are base plays that every team uses. The difference is building other plays that compliment them.

I think Boerkircher made a bunch of catches today, almost some like the flare passes we kept trying with Fidone, the difference was Boerk was always on the move and headed up field near the LOS. It wasn't that lateral shit that never went anywhere.

He turned Boerk into a weapon today. He made Jacori a bigger weapon. They threw balls to Banks that were mostly in his wheelhouse. He took all that EJ did last week and just built on it. Dana will continue to do that with guys who are gonna get the ball. Dana knows his stuff.
