Dana will be calling plays
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
Well that certainly is exciting. Ratchets up my enthusiasm for this game a couple notches.
how emasculated can one man get?
good grief, Rhule. this is approaching Salem-levels of cruelty.
I thought they were friends.
also - what was the point of hiring a 2nd OC this off-season only to pass him over for a guy who hasn't been part of the program for more than 5 minutes?
I have more questions than answers. as usual with this regime.

All true … but if Dana is calling plays it makes me wonder why they aren’t at least cutting bait with Satt?
Very odd in my opinion but I like the move regardless. Would rather have us go all in the last 3 weeks than let Satt do his thing. It can’t get any worse and if it does it wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the season one iota. Only upside from W’s and L’s IMO.
Has anyone ever seen a situation like this ever?

Pretty sure it was a Satt/Rhule collaboration given the amount of time it took to get calls in. Who knows GT could have been apart of it too.

Sorry, haven’t dug in on the rules, but with the coach rule changes can any hired coach call plays?
On the main topic…. This is fuggin awesome
I feel like holy shit we could actually win a game to get bowl eligible

I can't recall a program playing 9 games and then bringing in a new OC/play caller off the street with zero history working with the head coach or involvement in the program for the stretch run.
a potentially unprecedented move.
Reading between the lines he kind of made it sound like we are on the cutting edge by doing this. We're back!

I am starting think that Dana is going to have sex with Satts wife, in front of him, and Satt will be like "Yeah, I mean, I guess it is okay, anyway I am really excited about coaching TE's"
The point is, if you name him Co-OC, you can pay him a lot more than for a QB coach.
I mean
Rhule spent all offseason laughing at the notion his hand-picked OC was atrocious.
he's spent his entire tenure talking about changing the culture, being physical, etc.
now - Year 2, after 9 games - we are not only seeking outside counsel but we are attempting essentially the "Face Off" surgery with our offense.
a guy who has never worked with Rhule or any of his offensive staff or any of our offensive players will now call plays with like 8 days of prep time.
everything about this screams "PANIC!" in North Stadium.
even if this works and we go 3-0 while averaging 50 ppg, what the actual f*ck is our Head Elf doing?
Can it be any worse?
Any other time and you let him go. But with the new rules, you don't have the limited coaching staff. And Sat's paid through the end of next season anyway. So if he can be helpful and not be a disruption, why not.
poor guy's wife is already 2,000 miles away.
I think it was fair to give Satt a 2nd season given the injuries and turnover situation last year.
I agree this is desperation as Rhule was looking ahead and confident if nothing changed he was staring down the barrel of an O for November again.
While this is outrageous I like that he’s doing everything he can to make a major adjustment to change the outcome.
As a fan base we can’t complain the last 3 weeks about Satt sucking and needing to be fired and now complain that he is?
this will be a common theme among the apologists
best thing this move does is rightly place the bullseye where it's always belonged - on Rhule's bestubbled head
It probably means Rhule is giving Satt a chance to find a new job when the head coach churning moves into full gear.
It's a big boy move, for sure. The rest of the season will determine if it was dumb or not.
He ain’t putting a new offense in .

What’s the angle from the anti-Rhule coalition? Ability to sit back and yell when he does nothing and also an ability to sit back and yell when he does something?
I didn't see a way NU wins with Satt, could be a dumpster but I think the players will embrace a fresh start with a new oc. And noone should feel bad for satt, he's getting paid and didn't deliver.
it's not a "big boy move"
it's a last-ditch, back against the wall, anything but accept responsibility, grasping at straws panic move.
there is no strategy here.
big boys play chess. Rhule drools all over himself trying to set up the checker board.
Obviously - it was a joke. But they will have to prepare for different tendencies.
I just laugh now.
yelling stopped after the Nth time our head coach was bodied by a coach's challenge.
Isn’t this what was also said to have happened to Satt in his last season with South Carolina? I believe the rumor was Beamer had taken over playcalling and they in turn looked like world beaters the last few weeks.
I have not seen a move this ballsy since that time the mechanic decided to keep his shop open late to help those two hot girls out. Dude just mentioned he had been working a lot and was really stressed and BAM next thing you know, they were both sucking him off.

How is this not accepting responsibility - he’s publicly stating his guy was not the right guy to get stuff done?
What would you have him do if you are not happy with this move, knowing there is no Time Machine?
It's a given the offensive staff was gone regardless. If this move fails miserably and leads to program chaos post-season (excessive key transfers, etc.), it will be seen as dumb and unnecessary to do this at this point in the season.
Anyone else already hate Halgersen? I just don't think he has "it"
You know how optimistic we get. We would for sure think 40. And some fan walking in the group would have looked up his stats against Lincoln Riley or something and everyone would be like, f yeah. We're putting up 40.
