Robin Washut says other schools have undoubtedly been contacting Raiola. He further suggests that the change in OC was done to appease Dylan. Thoughts?

Anything is plausible but there are a lot of "ifs" in that article. However, the chi between the players and Satterfield is not very good.

Does a bear $h!t in the woods?

Rhule would never hear the end of it if DR left.

I mean, it might has well have said, "teams have PROBABLY tampered with Raiola and Rhule PROBABLY knew that if he didn't make a change at OC then it PROBABLY wouldn't help his chances of keeping him."

No shit?

IDK, I’ve been convinced since the day he stepped on campus that schools would be contacting him “tampering” at this stage of the season. Regardless if we were playing well. I think the answer is all of the above… Rhule knows this offense is playing well below their potential, it’s clear Satt doesn’t have the answers, he has talented young QB and he doesn’t want to waste DR’s opportunity, he (Rhule) wants to win.

Personally, I think DR’s personal connections to the program probably gets NU a second year. Also, I’d like to see a little more out of DR if I was a major program/coach. Before I have “my people” throw a big NIL deal his way. But there’s no doubt that he will be (is) contacted.

Typical modern day “journalism” there.

I hope one day NU has a team FILLED with players that other teams are trying to get! That is a good thing.

If Riaola transfers at season’s end, starts for his new school next year and kills it. Looks like the 5* talent we hoped for, and we have another average to poor season… Oh my! We would tar and feather Rhule then put him on the 1st train out of town.

Is he aware yet that his uncle is not a P4 OL coach?

And when that day comes I hope we have the $$$ to keep them!

Rhule should hire a second OL coach.

If DR thinks/decides his uncle was a shitty OL coach who can’t cut it, would he say something? To Rhule? To his Dad? I’m not sure he would… Maybe🤷‍♂️

I always expected DR would receive nonstop interest from other schools for however long he's here. I also think he's been horribly mismanaged lately by leaving him out there when he's struggling mightily. He's not learning anything while being overwhelmed and the entire team suffers when you leave underperforming players out there. Sitting for a couple of series might be the best thing you can do for him... that and better play calling.

If he leaves I think it will be because someone convinced him they can coach him up better.

DR or no DR I think Rhule understands that no bowl game this year is not going to go over well. At all.

Maybe some additional athletic, quality OL would be the answer. Something we haven't had for a long time.

I really don't think we needed Raiola's input (appease him) on whether Satterfield should be replaced or not.

To be the 1st OL coach?

I think he’s here for a 2nd year as well. New OC now gets a jump start on things. Now if only he plays this week!

Assuming the Raiola’s are a package deal, then yes Nebraska at some point will need an actual OL coach. Maybe Donny can stay to hold blocking shields and pick his nose.

And it's not just keeping Raiola. It's Barney and maybe a couple other offensive players who are highly valued by other schools. The OC change was timely in that regard. It provides answers and a direction BEFORE the portal opens and hopefully before any under the table decisions are made. As it stands now, we've got a good OC, highly respected, Gino Smith's college coach. We're in a good spot heading into December.

"Appease" makes it sound like it was a capricious request by an entitled teenager. IF this happened it was a sure fire NFL talent who was being ruined speaking up in his own best interest and the best interest of the team, program, and fans. Satterfield was terrible. If it took Raoila to make the suggestion maybe ask him if he has any other ideas because he must be the only one down there with a brain in his head.

Edit: just to be clear, I really doubt this is how it went down

You would think DR dad can see what kinda coach Donnie is and wouldn’t want his son get beat into the ground every week

Finally, we have a guy on the team worth tampering....definitely a good sign
