I am hearing now that DHs role with the team might be much more temporary. I listened to Mitch Sherman and Chodey McBaldy talk about how DH is essentially consulting and interviewing NU to see if he's a fit and wants to be here. That he's such a big name, that he's not going to risk taking over playcalling at a place that he isn't sure of success and the ability to ascend back into a premier HC role.....
They also said that they have a hunch Satterfield will still be here in some capacity next year, just not calling plays....There is no way that we pay a guy $1.4m to coach TEs, and bring zero recruiting chops to the table. There is also no way, career/image wise, he could take a demotion and pay cut that gives up playcalling duties. Then there is the fact that his family has already moved away.
I think these morons have been sniffing too many farts in the good ole boys club that is husker football media. Digesting every coach speak line with a smile on their face and shit on their nose. Satt is gone. DH was "hired" in an "evolving" role, while Phil Snow is still here just "consulting". I think that is intentional, and I think DH is smart enough not to commit to a situation he thought was a bad fit, and vice-versa with MR hiring DH if it wasnt. He is here to call plays starting next year.
Granted, I could be missing some information, but here is my working theory. I'm calling my shot so to speak.
1) Playcalling duties have officially shifted to Glenn Thomas. He knows the playbook. He will work with Dana and Satterfield to collaborate game plans the rest of the season. Satt will coach TEs in a dead man walking role. Glenn Thomas will audition to keep his job as a QB coach.
2) DH will be evaluating Thomas as a QB coach. Is Thomas worthy? DH will be getting a feel for the offensive strengths and weaknesses to construct a vision for the offseason and next season. He will be taking notes of the QBs and offensive weapons available both for next year development and offseason recruiting priorities.
3) If the collaborative efforts of Thomas and DH are successful, and DH feels the QBs are in good hands with Thomas as their day to day coach and him in an overviewing OC role....DH will take over coaching the WRs next year, which he has lots of experience doing.
4) Will he solo coach the WRs? Or will he mentor and "Co" coach the WRs with McGuire? He has a history of coaching "inside WRs". Maybe McGuire coaches outside and handles the majority of the recruiting, so DH can focus on playcalling, assisting with QBs, and his "inside" WRs.
5) We promote someone currently on the staff to TEs coach.
6) We potentially replace the RBs coach per DHs input?
Staff complete.
