If this was not a snide shot at me

Then I am wrong and apologize
I’m not sure why you felt the need to interject a response to my comment to scarletred. My response from an old farm boy like me to him was to point out that in fact how many tits a boar has is in fact important if you are planning to retain his daughters in the herd. You brought up your wife and kids. I did not nor would I. Find somebody else to argue with.

I apologize for the misunderstanding

So that’s confusing cause you said

It's obvious to many of us that some think coaches are miracle workers and when they don't get results immediately those people turn on those coaches

I didn’t expect him to get results instantly but after year 3…🤷‍♂️

When should we expect good results then? Year 5 or 10?

Maybe 18-20 years to be fair. He needs to have them developed from birth before he can be held accountable.
Fact is Donovan is a good OL coach. Now I will let you have the last word because you can't seem to let someone reply to your post and let it go. It really is obvious to many that there are some that really think coaches can be miracle workers until they don't get results immediately. Those that expect miracles immediately turn on those coaches when they don't get those results immediately. Bottom line it's a process and like anything built well it takes time. Now I'm done and you can have the last word newbie.
 
I called for us to hire Dana 1 day after the 2023 season ended.

I still hate the idea of running the air raid and hope we never do because it will never work here.

I’ve always said we should run an under center, power gap scheme. And that Army’s coach would probably do well here.

You will find nothing but proof on this site of the above in my posting history

And yes I think Uncle Donnie is a shitty, unqualified OL coach.
So you called for Dana to be our new OC before he was even fired at Houston even though you don't like his offense?

What do you think it takes to be qualified to be a position coach?

from Nov 26th, 2023:


the whole thing went sideways after his 1st year there

weird situation with their all-world QB after an injury that I don't really remember the details of

would be an awesome QB coach who would attract a lot of positive pub with recruits

running a room & recruiting is a good start prior to coming to a big time program as a position coach

That's spot on. Impossible to please Husker fan recommends head coach to come to Lincoln, NE as a position coach! Now I'm getting a handle for what type of candidate is qualified in your view as a position coach. No wonder you think our current OL coach is unqualified. Donovan has never been a head coach at a P-4 school.

Just so you know Kong, Holgorsen would never have come to Nebraska had he and Rhule not shared the same agent and developed a great relationship. Which is a strength of Rhule by the way. But it's laughable that you thought Dana would come as a QB coach.

I said that because Rhule was keeping Satterfield and knew it on that date. Oh, and also because we had not employed a QB coach for the entire 2023 season.

Donovan had never been the main OL coach anywhere, much less head coach, prior to coming to NU. He’d never run his own room and never recruited anyone in his life prior to coming here. He was less qualified than the child Rhule hired to run the WR room.

I agree Rhule’s relationship to Dana landed him just like I know Dannen’s push for Rhule to make a change in-season was the catalyst.

All of the above are facts. I’m not impossible to please, I just don’t think 6-6 is anything to write home about.

This season was an abject failure just like last season. I want to win.

So you must also have thought that Pork Chop was unqualified and Terry Bradden is unqualified. Finding an NFL assistant position coach working with the alphas that you find in the NFL definitely makes you qualified for working with 18-19 year old kids. If he's a good coach, hire him. If he has contacts with talent that can be brought in, all the better

You are the only person on the internet who has made this claim. For you, when Rhule makes a good move, someone else should get the credit.

Wtf are you talking about?

Both Pot Roast and Bradden had run their own rooms prior to being hired here.

Uncle Donnie had not.

And, no, I’m not the only person who acknowledges that the boss suggests to his underperforming employee ways to improve. This happens in every business every day x1,000s.

Sorry, man. Nothing you’re saying is correct. You’re trying to “get me” by arguing against plain as day fact.

the bold print may be one of the silliest things you've ever posted on this board. Ironically you love Dana and Dana loves Raiola's abilities. I'm not sure what your personal vendetta is against Donovan but it's really odd.

You sure about that? Where had those other two well qualified coaches run position rooms before coming to NU?

I'm talking specifically about Troy Dannen pressuring Rhule to make a mid-season change. Who's your source on that?

McGuire had recruited before.

Uncle Donnie had not.

Our offensive line is trash and has not gotten any better in 3 years under Donnie. Now we are once again in need of multiple portal OL to come in a start right away because Donnie has proven incapable of backfilling Frosts terrible OL with his own homegrown kids.

I prefer to see results on the field.

Pot Roast was Wagner’s DL coach in 2019.

Bradden was the youngest high school head coach & AD in the history of the state of FL

I know a 10-figure booster who lunches with Dannen monthly who told me Rhule wanted to wait until the end of the season to make changes and Dannen said we have to do something sooner.

Dannen owns the football budget. Rhule cannot make staff changes without Dannen’s consent. Just like every other football program in America.

I don't know if our OL is trash. If we had a competent RB, there are holes there. Dylan also had plenty of time to throw this year. Is our OL elite where they can take over a game? No, but they were also probably the best performing unit on the team. DL might be a little better, but both groups did pretty well this year.
