Raiola will transfer at the end of the year

He's going to be the starter at NU and at many of these schools he will be at risk of not starting. OSU has Julian Sayin, the other 5 star from last year. NU needs to build up its roster and make some coaching changes. Rhule needs to get the best OC possible and stop hoping Satterfield will improve.
Put 15 million into NIL and accept that what NU football means to this state is on par with what football means to the people of Ohio, Alabama, and Tennessee.
The OL play has to improve. Can we hire a second OL coach to help? We did that in the past. I don't think we can move Donovan and keep Dylan. What about dad? He was an NFL OL and a feisty player.
Regardless of what happens we should go ahead and get Kaelin some playing time and if that means burning his redshirt, oh well.

Yea, there were rumors about Raiola to OSU but it sounds like OSU is really happy with Sayin and he will be their next superstar QB. You can cross OSU off the list

Tony White has a Back 7 problem

I refuse to believe that the teams we are losing to, outside of OSU, are significantly more talented than Nebraska. Let’s face it, our record against forgettable average to below-average teams is abysmal. We didn’t get beat by UCLA, Indiana and Illinois because of talent. Especially UCLA. They flat out suck and they kicked our ass.

They play with way more heart than we do.

Scott Frost had no real program-building experience. He coached under some top names as position coaches and coordinators, then walked into a perfect scenario at UCF is artificially look good. Those talented players were already there and were already disciplined winners. The NU job came before he had really proven himself.
Sometimes you gamble on these guys. Stoops was just a coordinator before he took the Oklahoma job. So was Osborne.
I don't think hiring Frost was really a bad decision. It looked good at the time. We just held onto him longer than we should have. 3 straight losing seasons, players exiting the program, and no sign of improvement in any area would have been enough to cost a guy his job almost anywhere that cares about football.
I'm also understanding of the situation Rhule inherited. The team was completely devoid of talent in the depth chart. Zero draft picks last season. He's recruited well and players have stayed here and shown some signs of improvement (for the most part). I think he has to be more cut throat with coaches and some players and go heavier with the NIL. Hire the best OC possible for the Big 10 in the offseason.
I think Satterfield already knows he's gone to an extent. Might as well cut him loose now.

Cignetti is such an incredible outlier in every way, he was an outlier at James Madison, his whole career has been weird. A statistician might just chalk his up to a 1/1,000,000 chance event where a bunch of improbable things happen and his Indiana team still likely loses a couple times and doesn't actually win anything meaningful. We just have to pray that a smart person understands that College has become the NFL lite. And to be successul you have to manage finances and resrouces, NIL, contracts, and hearts and minds to build a perfect roster...with a few years at most of building in mind, as everything will reset really fast today. That is why I thought Rhule was either ignorant or a scammer when he said he wanted NU to be a developmental school. While you develop guys the other teams are either buying them or buying players that are already developed. The premium is on great game plan coaches who can rally a new bunch of guys and keep them engaged and winning. Sadly, every season is going to be like Huskers 2007. You have a roster of jucos and transfers, when things fall apart, they fall very apart.

The next OC

drubendall
Who is out there?

It could be somebody in the NFL who’s willing to move to college to make a name for himself. It’s risky, because it’s an experiment that could end in one and done. Probably have to pay 2, million and guarantee three years. Not a lot of money for the right guy..

The big question is whether or not we think the Raiola experiment is worth continuing. he’s basically our franchise quarterback, and that scares the crap out of me. Sitting the $2 million man is not a good look when the guys behind him are unproven as well . His style of quarterbacking is out of vogue. it basically went away with Tom Brady. The last two alive are probably Kirk cousins and Joe Flacco. He’s zero threat to pick up first down with his feet. I think we are ****ed. Having a hard time imagining a scenario where this really turns around, unless you commit to throwing it fewer than 20 times per game and just running downhill.

Who Should We Have Hired?

If we are being honest, that list kind of sucks, right? Not a real clear, good choice.

Yeah let’s go through it:

Lance Leipold: beats ranked teams. probably worse without his OC, still played Illinois closer than we did

Klieman: does a lot with shit talent, already had a conference championship under his belt and may add another this year

Luke Fickell: set to be 2-0 against Rhule

Deion: 1-1 against Rhule, would probably crush him if played today

Aranda: accomplished more with Rhule’s talent than Rhule ever could

Jamey Chadwell: who knows? too much of a pussy to coach P4

Bielema: obviously better than Rhule, not even a debate

So yeah, Rhule is quite literally the worst one.

Who Should We Have Hired?

So now that we're almost 2 years in and with all the "fire everyone" talk, hindsight being 20/20, who should we have hired? I included what I remember to be the realistic, most thrown around names. Assuming we weren't getting Saban, Urban, the ghost of Bob Devaney, etc. And guys like Cignetti weren't on anyone's radar.

The balls deep move would’ve been Deboer.
