"Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield gushed Friday about the 40-year-old assistant who is the lone holdover from the previous staff. Raiola’s coaching method stood out. So did his commitment to player development and to Nebraska.
“I met with him with every intention of not liking him,” Satterfield said. “Because you’re a new guy, you got it in your brain like, ‘Hey I want to bring this guy, this guy, this guy.’ I spent about 30-35 minutes with him and just fell in love with him.”
Rhule later asked Satterfield if the coordinator wanted to continue with Raiola. Absolutely, Satterfield responded, then took it a step further — let’s not drag on feet on keeping him around and wrap up this process quickly.
“This is my guy; I want this guy,” Satterfield said. “Excited to have him and he’s going to help us do some really good things.”"
Props to coach Satterfield about being so open about his initial mindset. While there's a whole pile of new coaches, it seems Raiola will probably be one of the top guys Husker fans follow to see how this develops.
Coach also mentioned we won't be "majoring" in the QB run game, but need to have it occasionally to make defenses defend it.
