Week 11 Press conference

[RBigredMax]

And if that's what he wants nobody would blame Dana. He might also decide that 1.3 million can buy a lot of happiness without the BS a head coach has to deal with....

Especially when he will be making over $4M from Houston the next two years and I believe 60% of that for a time period after that. (If I’m quoting husker online correctly)

 

[timnsun]

it's pretty obvious when you look at the progression of the news cycle which followed:

> Holgorsen in talks to join Nebraska staff
> Holgorsen and Nebraska close to deal
> Glenn Thomas hired
> Holgorsen joins TCU staff
> Thomas & Satt still suck
> Dana immediately agrees to join Nebraska staff when called

You'd have me believe that Holgorsen took the trouble to meet with Rhule, told him he actually wasn't interested in coaching this year, then took a job at TCU?

Holgorsen knew the existing offensive staff was full of dumbasses, probably told Rhule to demote Satterfield and get rid of the child WR coach. Rhule's solution was to get another yes man.

Fast-forward to 2 weeks ago, Rhule calls Dana with his tail tucked between his legs to ask for help from the coach who absolutely crushed him the last time they played.

I don’t disagree that some of those steps may have happened as you say… But I do completely disagree with your notion that Rhule gave DH the finger. That’s not his style. He obviously left the door open, which made it easy for DH to accept the invitation.

So now Dana is a liar too? Alrighty then.... Thomas didn't get paraded around Lincoln and he was hired weeks after Dana left town. It's okay to be wrong. Just admit it.

> "weeks"
> Thomas hired 9 days after Dana and Nebraska were "close" to a deal

all coaches feed digestible dialogue to the media. do you think he would've said " yeah I wanted to come here back in January, that's why I was hanging out in Lincoln coming to wrestling matches, but Rhule decided to hire his buddy instead"

it is mistake of you to think our current staff isn't capable of dysfunction while they're still under contract. everytime we've fired a coach, all these stories have come out about how terribly run the program was, yet people like you want to believe its all sunshine and sprinkles while they hold the talking pillow.

of course, you were banging your drum about Holgorsen only being good enough for an analyst role so I could see how revisionist history benefits you.

"Why are you not blocking? It's embarrassing."

Quite an indictment of the WR coaches, as well as the players.

Another buddy hire.

 

[Meanfarmer3160]

He hired Thomas because Dana turned him down. He did what he could. He knew we needed a QB coach. We actually moved the ball in spurts last year. The problem was the turnovers. I think it was virtually impossible to evaluate the play calling because our QB play was so bad at times. It was a rough first year but that wasn't unexpected. He deserves credit for bringing in Thomas but Thomas couldn't fix Satt's play calling. As Sirles said, Dylan is struggling in large part because he's hurt and tentative now. THAT is one of the reasons I believe it might be a good idea to sit him and play Haarberg.

I can vividly remember Josh Allen playing for Wyoming and I can't help but wonder what could be with Haarberg. Allen was wildly inaccurate at times with Wyoming but he had a big arm and could run over DBs when he scrambled. What would happen with Haarberg at QB with what is obviously a better O line in front of him and Dana as a play caller. There's only one way to find out and you won't know playing him a snap or two at a time. Allen's junior year I think he thew 4 INTs against us and our D line hammered him time after time. He ended up as a first rounder. I know you're down on Heinrich but I really like what I've seen from him this fall. I think he's an obvious choice at least in the redzone.

Dylan is just not that good.

Please show me where I said Holgerson was only good enough for an analyst role. More made up crap.

Also noted that it’s not like DH went to TCU as a coordinator (which he openly admitted to not wanting). Thalls theory is plausible had he accepted an OC job somewhere else, but he didn’t and could have, had he wanted that grind.

Glad you asked. This was back in January, in a thread about DH coming here to be OC

Would be a great guy to have as an analyst.

I think a low visibility analyst role would be very attractive for a guy like him. Virtually no pressure and he wouldn’t have to recruit.

I'm sure you'll now revise your opinion since the public temperature on the current staff has been assessed

there is a greater than 80% chance your wardrobe looks like this:

 

[HuskerDrew]

Some show pointed out that DH is doing exactly what he needs. Calling people out, saying the blocking is embarrassing, etc.
Said for most guys they’ll feel some shame and step up their game
Others will weed themselves out, which Is good too

Looking forward to these last couple games

Go away Cuck boy, you're a dumbass loser and everyone on the board knows it! The more you post, the more it make you look like a fool!

I need to take my own advice and stop feeding the trolls! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

So how are the players and other coaches handling DH coaching?

So how are the players and other coaches handling DH coaching?

I'd imagine that buttholes are puckered...

Players who want to win will step up and embrace the challenge like good soldiers. Those butt hurt will walk away.

Double for all assistant coaches on offense.
