Matt Rhule saved Nebraska football

It's kind of hard to describe. DH may be using some of the exact same plays, just with a few sensible tweaks and better choreographed in practice and it just works on Saturdays. Attention to detail and seeing the bigger picture to call the right play in the right situation rather than flipping through the playsheet and picking something at random. There was a play where we had motion to the left, the 2 inside guys ran a mesh concept, and the 2 outside guys ran a wheel and both of the outside guys were wide open and were practically setup to be untouched to the end zone. Dylan went to the right to hit EJ, but he could have just as easily went to the left with the same results. I mean it's just stretching the field both horizontally and vertically to really stretch out the defense and then the motion part of it was perfectly executed as well. I mean it's the difference between having a competent coaching presence and not having one. And the results were very fun and exciting to watch. Which is the first time I could say that about Nebraska football in who knows how long. It's been ages since we've had an exciting offense.
At times earlier this fall I saw Satt run some pretty cool stuff. I really don’t think his playbook was the problem. I saw nearly identical stuff run by NFL teams but he was clearly struggling to get plays in on time. I’m no x’s and 0’s guy but Satt was obviously struggling to call timely plays his team could confidently execute. The redzone execution was light years better Saturday.

I bet he stays on as TE coach as he know's his chances as OC are forever gone anywhere as he stunk it up at 2 seperate P4 schools and his TEs looked phoenominal Saturday. I bet he takes a pay cut and stays.
He might but I’ve heard coaches talk about how many boomer head coaches are going to be retiring and the fact that there’s a shortage of young coaches with the right kind of experience to take their spots. He could end up as a head coach at a lower level program.

What ever happened to the rumor that Satt had sold his house last winter and his family had moved back east? I believe Satt knew Rhule wanted to replace him last winter. I have to believe he’ll want to start over elsewhere.

Kind of a funny OU story....

I lot of people hate where they are from when they are young and then realize how much they miss it when they move away. Small towns can also be exhausting for young people.
I get it. It's that phase we're all in. I had moved from a small town in rural Indiana to Texas back when I was 17. When I was 19 my parents moved away to the Adirondacks of upstate New York. Gave me a big sell about how they would pay for school for the first couple of years. I left them straight in the eyes and told him there's no way I was going to move there. I was in the big city where there was my friends, girls and plenty of things to do. I totally get it. But I was getting past that while she was still there. I was 23 and she was the magical age of 19. She would do anything for me but self-loathing was a turn off. If she had loved Nebraska, things might have gone differently. God had other plans... 😁
