Dana new OC / 2 Year Deal

[itseasyas1-2-3]

With this news, today is a net positive. Everybody can whine and complain about the sky falling when 6-6 players/coaches leave. Let Rhule attempt to correct this thing, like he’s doing and let’s reevaluate in 12 months.

It won't take 12 months.

Doesn't take 3 years to develop a program that's swimming in money and the Taj Mahal of facilities.

Dana gets to pick his WR coach????

Remember that the only limit on numbers of coaches is whatever budget Rhule is given by his boss. So perhaps the teenager will be kept mostly to recruit his peer group — and have adults as the principal position coaches and coordinators. We are now in pro football and pro teams have tons of obscure assistants.

Of course we don’t have a billionaire pro football owner to pay unlimited staffing costs.

 

[itseasyas1-2-3]

Is it okay to feel good about this?

The kid is 23-24 years old, been making about 300K a year for 2 years, his dad is the HC at Texas Tech.

The kid's gonna eat and dad will make sure of that.

He needs to go cut his teeth somewhere else.

Nice young man, but football programs aren't built by nice young men who happen to coach a key position.

 

[Dean Pope]

I approve. Will be watching closely to see how he develops Raiola. If the kid has a meteoric rise in his system, we’re gonna start to win some big games

Raiola has talent. A lot of it. I fully expect Raiola to produce in Dana's system because that is exactly what Dana is expecting to happen. And that is why Dana is here.

 

[Dean Pope]

So the best DC we've had since Pelini was here is gone and we are going to have an air raid offense.

I hope it works I really do. I don't believe it will. The next offense I want to see at Nebraska is a run first offense.

The running game produced under Dana. My hope is that Dana actually makes the running game more productive. And if you factor out QB scrambles, the running game at Nebraska really has not been very productive for several years. Probably since Rex and Ameer.

Garrison not being retained.

Not all that surprising. Dana wasn't complimentary of the WR play when he got here (especially their blocking). My hunch is that he has a guy lined up.

Keep him off the ‘shine and he should be ok.

Not really arguing with you, but there are a lot of programs these days swimming in money that have great facilities.

How many of them are going to their first bowl game in 8 years and still selling out over 400 straight games?

Hey 5 star qb's come to this run first offense.

None. Nebraska's the only team with that kind of continual mediocrity. Everybody else has had more success.

Kids better get ready to learn a new playbook.

Now I'm anxious to see our offense again with another 2 weeks of bowl prep.

 

[HuskerDrew]

Very glad to have Holgorsen aboard

This was huge

I can’t ❤️ this enough!

 

[Zeke2005]

They don’t understand what Holgerson does. He had effective rushing attacks at WVU. His backs didn’t spend a lot of time dicking around and they hit the hole and I’m already seeing that out of our backs in just a few weeks of him being OC.

They don’t understand back to the origins of the Air Raid they always had effect run game as well. Heck even UNK in the late 90s air raid type offense they ran the ball very well when they did run it. It’s not 90% pass plays like many think.

Outstanding news.

Might be the best news of the day seeing this from Barney

 

[ZaneHickey]

Is it okay to be unconditionally happy and optimistic about this coaching news? I would hate to brighten a lynch-mob moment. 😐

 

[Cedric]

Good

Run the goddamn ball, OC!!

Completely agree and I haven't seen from his limited "tryout* that he will commit to doing so. Too much running for 4-5 yards on first down followed by an incompletjon, a sack and a punt. We could keep Satterfield to do that.

Unlike the football team, we're playing a 60 minute game here.

Do you attempt to bite your own ears? In kindergarten terms, I’m saying Rhule clearly knows the original personnel didn’t get it done. So let’s see what new staff is brought in, what players come with that staff and then let’s see how the games go next year. Make sense?

Don't be a fvcking smartass newbie.

Go back to your checker game.

This is my last stab at giving Nebraska football my belief that we can succeed in a passing first game. If Dana and Raiola fail, I’m giving up unless we go back to an option run based game where we are “different “

Won’t be a air raid bing dong.

 

[jteten]

Great news. The timing isn’t coincidental after the White news. Pushed to get it done today and flip the Husker news to positive.

It’s these types of moves that keep us off-season champs. A regular team may have a week gap to discuss bad news … not us … pull the hype train up immediately.

in reality he had to get it done with signing day on the horizon.

I'm sure they were already rushing to get it done before signing day on Wednesday.

A strong running game only helps the quarterback. Addition by subtraction.

It’s no coincidence our best rushing and passing game were on the same weekend.

Love this kid. He’s had some early success here and he’s going to have a bunch more. No need to entertain any portal.

it's the old double reverse coming out of the coaches offices

I was already ready to move on until Holgorsen came. Rhule needs to stay the F out of his way, but yea, if we fail with Raoila and DH, having a pass heavy offense succeed in Lincoln is a pipe dream.
