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?
 
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.
 
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, Rhule 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 it 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

You’re pretty good at rewriting history. Tony White isn’t too bad. Ron Brown is now on staff. Holgerson wasn’t available when MR put together his staff.
Raiola got us the other Raiola.
Didn’t our wide receivers coach come because Mickey‘s wife has issues?
Wasn’t there another wacky problem with one of the other coaches who quit at the last moment?
Smiling Mike got nine wins with Bo’s players.
How many of frosts players have been drafted?
If we do well next year, are you gonna stop this crap?
Are you just gonna find something else to complain about MR?
He said he hates Matt Rhule because he is a Penn State grad

You think Coach Rhule made zero calls prior to his official hire date?

Really?

Just so you know - it’s standard for coaches to line up their entire staff prior to accepting. At the very least, their coordinators and 80% of their assistants.

They don’t take jobs ever and THEN start making calls.

It’s is not likely that Satterfield was his first choice. It’s possible but not likely. Same with many on his staff.

All the more reason it’s likely he was.

South Carolina had just scored their more points in a 3 game span in like 50 years, including lighting up their biggest rival.

And Rhule had worked with him before and clearly likes & respects him (god knows why).
 
He said he hates Matt Rhule because he is a Penn State grad
More specifically because he’s a Joe pa worshiper whose father ran the organization that funneled kids to Sandusky during the years he was shown to have committed his heinous crimes

The actual known information we have supports the fact that Satt was Rhule’s first choice. But yet some of you act like we are crazy for believing that Satterfield was Matt’s first choice and we should “take it easy” on Rhule’s as if Satt was forced on Rhule like it’s some dam conspiracy.

Seems like some of you all don’t believe Matt should be held accountable for anything. Does kidding yourself help you sleep at night? Matt’s sucked since he’s been here. SUCKED. All the excuses in the world can’t overcome that. And let’s not play strawman. Let’s not make excuse after excuse to justify it.

But we’ve got to move on. Only choice we have. he has a very large and long contract so we are stuck with him and he has a chance to fix it. He seems to be trying to do it. Let’s hope he figures it out. That’s all we can do.

And my frustration isn’t really with Rhule, it’s with the delusional Husker fans that praise him and make excuse after excuse for him on his failures.

There may be proof that Satt was MR's first choice but I've never seen a citation for it. You got one?
