My view on this has shifted a bit, simply because Satterfield is such a blockhead. If Raiola doesn’t play yesterday, NU’s chances of winning might actually improve simply because Satterfield would probably suck it up and run the ball instead of putting everything on the QB’s back.
That’s an effed up reason to choose a starting quarterback, but here we are.
I've said Rhule isn't committed to winning, as proven by his career .500 record. He's more worried about his "coaching tree" than he is about the here and now.
He proved last year, and is confirming it this year, he is a lousy in-game coach. If you're gonna win a high percentage of your games, you need either a difference-maker at HC or at least a very good HC. We have neither.
People that automatically think NU wins 10-11 games next year might be in for a rude awakening. Rhule had 16 or so starters back, a 5* QB, and a team that peaks in the first half of the year and reels the 2nd half of the year. We're hitched to a career .500 guy. 1 3/4 years at NU 10-11.
We don't run the ball, certainly not committed to running the ball. We aren't the most physical team, far from it. We don't win the 4th quarter, we're lucky to hang around till the 4th quarter.
Everything he says we are gonna do, in reality, we do the opposite. Why would it suddenly change in year 3?
