I haven’t tracked his “whole career” and lumped it all together using one verb, “sucked.” The subject was comparing last year to this year which to me are two completely different animals based on personnel.
I still contend that Raiola has a bigger problem than his tweaked ankle. From watching the video I think he injured his throwing shoulder against Rutgers. I think that has severely affected his accuracy and ability to throw deep. I won't be surprised to learn after the season is over that he has a partial tear of his rotator cuff. Satterfield wants to run a pro-style passing offense that requires his QB to throw deep balls.. IF we can't throw deep, he HAS to develop a power run game.
Everybody hated Frank as his own play caller. Anybody not named Tom has been ridiculed.
If he's injured, they should sit him down. It's not doing the offense any good when he is clearly not the thrower he was early season.
I think his eyes have come down a bit
DR is likely to get pin balled in the pocket today.
Rhule made the excuse that he's moving he was shuffling his feet in the pocket and that made him not see open receivers down field. I don't believe that. Earlier in the year he was moving around in the pocket and still throwing deep balls. He's either gun shy after some of the INTs or he's injured IMO. He's had guys in 50/50 situation with time to throw and he has checked down.
I was only half joking when I said earlier that we should feed Heinrich to the lions today. Raiola is gonna get killed. I don't think an immobile QB has any shot to be successful against OSU. Just pull him and tell the public that his ankle is limiting him too severely. Despite Heinrich's limitations in the passing game, I actually think he would give us a better chance of keeping this one close. Give OSU a steady diet of something they only thought was going to there in gimmick plays.
He's had time to throw the ball and he's refused to let it fly. You're not going to be able to sit in the pocket for 4-5 seconds all the time. 1,2,3 the ball should be gone. Considering we threw it 44 times and they knew we were going to do it, 2 sacks isn't unexpected.
The real problem is his defenses are suspect that would turn off most Nebraska fans. As most would rather win 17-10 on a weekly basis than 47-40.
could be.. I hadn't really paid attention to his defenses.. just was looking their wins/losses.. I'm a bit surprised at where he is, as he had a hot name at CC a couple years ago.
Giving up 50 to any B1G team not OSU is inexcusable. White has to figure it out. I get that our offense didn't do the D any favors with 5 turnovers, but we didn't even slow them down.
Lots of experts here. Some real powerhouse NCAA dynasty builders. Lots of measured and reasoned thought. Tons of experience.
Yes I think White has been somewhat overrated since he showed up here. It seems like either his defense dominates or get's destroyed. Last year we played a lot of terrible offenses (and still lost games in 4th quarter collapses). This year we have seen Illinois blow up this defense, Indiana blow past this defense.
I do love his offense would be cool to see. If we could somehow hire him as an OC that would be nice. Just like if we could do that for UNLV I would be down with their Go-Go offense.
I'll have what you're having..
You give the coaches and ADs WAY too much credit for being intelligent. They are #1 opportunists/politicians because every lie they get away with might make them millions. THe curse of Nebraska is to have Bob and T.O run the ship for so long because they loved the University and we have that mindset that these psychopaths at head coach and ad are here because they love NU. They want to scam the University for as much money as possible and hopefully promoted to a more impressive job(ala former Husker Trev). Nebraska will suck until the fans quit on the team and require a leader(president or donors) to choose AD and coach based on competence and not words...build in accountability and carrots to keep the psychopaths working hard for their millions. Front-loading these losers with millions just gives them more money to chase tail, drink, and if they have to work too hard they can always rely on their 25 million buyout if they get fired.
No I don't I really don't give them too much credit. I actually haven't given them any credit. But there isn't anybody on this board that has enough information to have any real idea about what should or shouldn't be done.
Thank you for elevating this discussion with your brilliant insight!
Just like most jobs, if it was easy (which you and others imply) then pretty much any idiot should be able to do. Heck, guys on this board could do better according to some or just grab any ole HS coach and you would be better.
“I really don’t give [ADs] much credit”
It is a solid plan, which is why coaches leverage for buyouts. I've spent my life around coaches...coaches at this level or some of the scummiest human beings around, giving them millions, no accountability, and a golden parachute makes it even worse. You can't equate T.O or Frankie(he was scummy) to this new generation. The builders of college football made a tithe of what these scammers make today. Their #1 goal is to hide from accountability as long as they can because every two weeks they get 100-200k in the bank. Lets say we hire Millard Souths coaching staff for 10% of what we pay these bums. What would our record be? 4-3, 3-4 instead of 5-2 looking at 5-6?
How was Trev qualified whatsoever to be AD at UNO? Because he played LB and had some head injuries? Because he got fired from ESPN for being a stubborn arrogant prick? You would think guys would need extensive experience and a background in law and accounting to do it. They are managing budgets and trying to make money for the university while riding various lines of litigation in order to get an advantage. But often we just get old coaches or players...most important they have no accountability once they get hired. It is just a guaranteed 5-10 million until their head coach fails and they get fired or promote out. They are hold-overs for greater men's work, siphoning off the last investments from a dwindling class of people willing to waste money on the program.
Well, we were almost Vanderbilt! Sh1t. But, suddenly November looks much better.
