there will be a lot of excuses this year. some legitimate.

I honestly don't know how many retained head coaches get to bring in new coordinators at all 3 positions in a single offseason.

can't be many.

I suspect the consensus expectation to be somewhere around 6-6 or 7-5 again this year. and lots and lots of "progress".

Too lazy to look it up but isn't the schedule supposed to be easier this season?

Pure projection on my part but Satt was so bad and DH is such an upgrade I think my cellar for this season is nine games.

One thing to remember, is that Satterfield was not Rhule’s first choice to be the OC. And has been discussed, Mickey Joseph would’ve been the wide receivers coach if not for the incident that did or did not happen at his house.

Rhule hired Nov 26, 2022
Satt hired Dec 1, 2022

pretty quick turnaround for someone who was "not his first choice"

Rhule also neglected to hire a quarterback coach - the only program in America to do so

When they leave for more money, somebody has to fill that position. When you get someone better, that’s usually considered a good thing.

Unless you’re just trying to stir the pot.

Do you have Rhule’s phone logs?

You are aware that there were negotiations between Rhules agent and Trev, before the hire?

all I have are the facts

I'll leave the speculation to the apologists, enablers and excuse makers

Who cares. He doesn't have the passion for football. Maybe Fleck can row his ass.

 

[HuskerO]

he was tossed aside once we hired Banks & Neyor

Rhule for some reason had him pegged for a redshirt before spring ball last year. never made sense.

not sure he got a fair shake from the worst OC and WR coach in the nation (Rhule's handpicked guys)

Because he wasn't that great imo.

Even with the redshirt situation, he still could've played 4 games had he been good enough.

 

[huntered]

occasionally dominant in high school. unsure if he is willing to work on his craft like say a jerry rice type of work.

While I don't agree with some of what Kong says, he's spot on here. I was willing to give Satt and McGuire a shot because I wanted to trust Rhule's judgement on his staff picks. Satt had a track record and it wasn't a good one and McGuire didn't have a portfolio we could judge. Both were busts and that's on Rhule.

Foley was different. He had a track record and it wasn't bad but for some reason I can't explain he put absolutely undisciplined special teams on the field at NU that cost us games. I could cut Rhule some slack for that even tho Rhule picked him, but at least he had a basis to pick him. You could argue that Rhule should have seen what was happening with the third phase of our game and cut Foley loose after the first season.

Whatever, I like the staff upgrades at least on paper. This season, no excuses.

McGuire hired after Mickey choked his wife as a deal was being finalized for him.
Satt hired as OC/QBs coach after peetz turned him down for QBs. After one season of that, he tried to lure Holgerson, but he wasn’t ready to commit to a full time gig.
Foley failed to secure adequate long snapping talent and if cost him his job.
Raiola benefits from having a Husker legend as a brother and two nephews that are/will be Huskers. He is also a good young OL coach.

Peetz turned down the QB coach job 9 days after Satt was hired as OC

We did not pursue another, despite the season still being 9 months away
