Dana will be calling plays

Rhule probably regrets not getting this done nine months ago when Dana could have installed a system he knows. But I have a hunch he may have had some contact with Rhule at times over the 9 months so he may have some good concepts that can be quickly utilized. All in all, it smells of desperation and that only means Rhule is about where most of us are these days as a repeat 5-7 looms.

QB Room under OCDH

QB room under Rhule:

Year 1 - we don't have a QB coach but our OC can do it
Year 2 offseason - we hired a QB coach/Co-OC to help our OC
Year 2 after 9 games - just kidding here is another OC

I have no clue how anyone defends this or convinces themselves that little Matty has any sort of plan/vision for OUR program
“Little Matty”…is this personal?

I hope Dana took a crash course on the current offense and is just tweaking things because trying to install a new offense on a bye week is just asking for a disaster. Time will tell.
This offense is ABSOLUTELY worse than the sum of its parts. No question about it.

Right now, this week, it can be better without dumping the entire scheme. Which is not something that can be done until next season.

I’ve gotta believe we will see new wrinkles… heck, just calling a game differently than Satt has called would be a new wrinkle all by itself. It was so frustrating watching teams jump out plays because they knew both of Satt’s tendencies.

At least with Holgorsen we will get different tendencies and the play calls won’t be so predictable.
No arguments there. The worst thing I saw though was the inability to make adjustments.

I'm not sure anything could happen to make it a dumb move. Only dumb move would've been just standing pat with Satterfield and watching the ship sink. At least by changing you give yourself a chance. Imo the ONLY dumb move would've been NO move .



Holla

Well it’s not the only dumb move. (doing nothing) He could’ve hired me or something.

how emasculated can one man get?

good grief, Rhule. this is approaching Salem-levels of cruelty.

I thought they were friends.

also - what was the point of hiring a 2nd OC this off-season only to pass him over for a guy who hasn't been part of the program for more than 5 minutes?

I have more questions than answers. as usual with this regime.
Please tell me you’re joking.

Rhule just massively increased the talent at OC with a quick and decisive decision.

DH has a PROVEN history of success as an OC. His numbers he has produced are impressive - something Satt has NEVER had.

I would think you would be applauding this move.

For ONCE we have a HC that cut off his Achilles heel before it killed him.

Well Thomas was hired primarily to coach QBs. My guess is the CoOC title was to get him more money to get him to come. I also believe Thomas already had input on play calling soooo. I’m very surprised that we would turn over play calling this quickly. Seems like a desperation move. This adds to my gut feeling that both Satt and Thomas are gone in a month.
Who will the Raiolas want here coaching QB is the question.

One of the best takes on the situation I have read. I agree 100%
only disconnect is the actual philosophy

what Rhule claims he wants to see and who he hires to implement it are diametrically opposed

it's not a failure of Satt to not instill toughness and commit to a run game - that's not who he is

this is what continues to confound me about our figurehead and why I really don't know that he has a clear vision to map his program to

we have nothing to hang our hat on as a program
