What Rhule should do with his asst coaches

Mickey hasn’t repented he has done this shit literally his whole adult life . He beat the shit out of multiple women when coaching at Wayne state. Just because his wife didn’t go forward doesn’t mean he is innocent. Would your wife let your son go play for a woman beater?
Not dingle, but for 3 qrtrs it literally looked like Wisconsin D had our O's signs. Literally. That's either cheating, or our O.C. is getting out coached, you make the call.
It seems as though we’re in a position as fans that we’ll cut off our noses to spite our face! We give Tony White all the credit for the improvement on the defense and we give Rhule all the blame for the trouble on the offense! Time and again Rhule has stepped up and accepted responsibility for this teams failures. He hasn’t thrown anyone under the bus, yet too many fans are going berserk because of where we’re at. This season is going just as most people projected. We all know with the injuries and problems we’ve been in most every game. I hate being the best five win team in the country, yes better coaching could have made a difference in four games. But better play could have done the same thing. We’ve had four games where any player on this team or any leader on the sideline, could have said, “let’s get it done”. No one has accepted that mantle. Yes, I agree that Rhule could make some personnel changes, that discussion should be after the season and we should focus on Iowa for now. We can win this one, we can make a bowl. Then Rhule can fire Foley and who ever he wants. A great man once said, “it ain’t the chef it’s the ingredients”, I think that was Gordon Ramsey
It takes a lot of different attributes to be a great coach, and most coaches do not have all of them. I can understand why someone coming in to "build" a program would a) want guys he trusted, and b) want guys he felt fit the desired culture and could help build it. Eventually though you've also got to have recruiters, teachers, motivators, and some high-level schemers and play-callers, too.
Need to get rid of the ST coach, McGuire, and Raiola. For those who are alive and still kicking, we've witnessed the worst offensive performance at DONU in memory. Heads need to roll.
but is the poor offensive performance strictly a coaching issue?
Someone(s) need to be held responsible and you can’t fire players in the B1G
That’s life. Not always fair.
If this doesn't happen this off season, fans will have every right to complain, criticize, and even BOYCOTT Nebraska football.
Clearly need a dedicated QB coach. If not, then this coaching staff just aren't serious people and are just here for the check that coaching at Nebraska has become. TW and staff being the exception.
We'll see. One more game to prove it and go bowling in a season where it's clearly been possible and the next step this season, not next.
I've said it a 100 times before... the WRs have suffered since Dub left... I have no idea what Williams is doing now but I for one would LOVE to see that man come back... if that means moving McGuire to TE coach then fine... and then help these dudes by getting a real QB coach...
No but that doesn't make a difference. Receivers aren't very talented, but they're also poorly coached. Same goes for the OL. Not exactly happy with Satt's performance either, but OC's are a lot harder to replace. That's just the reality.
if they aren't very talented, and also very young, how can we know they are being poorly coached?
Because it is very clear what shows up on game days. I watch a lot of college football from around the country on Saturdays. The technique I've seen from the OL and WR groups are not indicative of positions that are well coached. For example, the wide receiver group get bumped off of their routes easier than any team I've seen around the country. It's not a talent issue, it's being piss poorly coached with poor technique. With the OL, it's the same story. Just watch Corcoran earlier in the year, dude is completely lost. You can't tell me he doesn't have talent because he was damn near a 5 star recruit.
Boy that sounds like something I wrote three months ago! I 100% agree Foley has to go, there are too many Power 5 teams that are always GREAT on special teams, WVU, ASU, K State, Arizona, Boise we have to be able to find some one that can get a return game going! But, by chance or choice the o-line looks better, I hope Raiola has something to do with it. Agreed, McGuire and Satterfield need a look, McGuire is young and still has some development to go through. Satterfield should be there already.
so young, inexperienced players in year 1 of a program is 100% indicative of poor coaching?
Star talent sometimes peaks before college. We have gotten our fair share of 4 star transfers from elite schools who never did anything.
Just a question, how long does it take for the S & C to actually show the benefits of a good development program? Seems as though our players are in good shape, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone on either side of the ball who has the ability to dominate! Is this something we should be able notice in the next year?
No it's not just young guys. The OL group can hardly be considered young. There's little excuse for how bad they were in the first half of the season. Raiola got lucky and an injury forced his hand in finally replacing Corcoran, and the unit did improve somewhat in the latter half. Don't think that had to do anything with Raiola other than forced decision-making.
For the receiver group, not all of them are young and they all run the same piss poor routes. McGuire isn't cutting it there. I don't mind the idea of moving him to the TE group, but I don't think we can afford to have him at the WR group next year.
1) get rid of the 22 year old WR coach and bring back Mickey Joseph so we can have a fighting chance at dynamic playmakers
2) fire Satterfield, like he has been before, and hire someone like Bobby Petrino/Dan Mullen as their rehab.
if you disagree you just enjoy losing.

"Dear Ole Nebraska University"
you have to undersand that husker oldtimers have this weird fetish for acronyms. when referring to coaches, instead of using their last names (Pelini, Riley, Frost, Rhule), they say HCBP, HCMR, HCSF, and again HCMR.
nebraskans, and likely iowans by proxy, are naturally subservient people who love to kowtow to coaches and admin because they're "nebraska nice" and criticism feels like a borderline terrorist attack.
you won't get honesty like this from anyone else.
I feel like if there are changes, it might be due to losing the DC. That would be a major loss. Keeping Satterfield is fine with me. He's apparently no genius, but he's probably good enough that it would be better to keep him, let him take the hard lessons of this season and move on.
Take one million from Satterfield's salary.
Give that million to White.
If Satterfield doesn't like it, he can take his resume to the open market.
This team needs to learn the play book. I watched a dozen games this weekend ( parts of different games). It’s amazing to me that 90%of all the plays we run the offense seems totally out of sync. A player goes the wrong way, someone misses a block, runs the wrong route, misses a cut that could lead to a better run, misses a pass. The odd thing is it absolutely was the same way under Frost. Very rarely do I say what a great run, or great play. Kansas and Kansas State, it seemed every drive saw terrific execution. Yes, we’ll see it now a then, but it honestly seems as though there is no consistent execution on the offensive side of the ball. So is there anyone (other than the coaches) who can speak to the fact that they “don’t make those mistakes in practice”. You gotta believe you play like you practice. That is the reason some media should be allowed at every practice. I can’t believe we execute any better in practice then we do in a game.
Look, I am not a defender of Satterfield, but it seems you want to lay everything at his feet. It may belong there, I don't know.
Your example of the double pass is one you need to reconsider. Satts had them all set up. Wisconsin was playing the run, they bit on it and Coleman was streaking wide open down the middle. Surely you saw that. We were one block from our LT in that being a huge play. He just whiffed. What guarantee is there that a running play would have been positive but you assume it to be. It just doesn't work that way.
On getting the plays in, do you know where the glitch is? Is it him or his assistants on the sidelines or thr QB interpreting?
I know everyone is looking to blame someone, Satts is handy and he deserves some criticism. I called plays at the HS level and it was amazing how much better of a game I called when the players were executing because they were just better. I got smarter one game and not as smart the next, hmm. Surely you know someone who has called plays?
As I’ve stated in other threads, I think the problem is multi factorial. Rhule has stated that last week that they wanted to give Purdy one read and if it wasn’t there he needed to throw it away. Also they wanted a play where it was either complete or out of the endzone.
On that 3rd down in regulation that was clearly the intent with that fade. That’s an EXTREMELY low percentage play for a young QB. It looked to me that the second Purdy threw that ball Coleman flashed open in front of the goal post which would have been a high percentage easy completion.
That’s what I meant by saying I didn’t like those last few plays. Why bother sending anybody else in the pattern if you’re throwing that fade? I think we were too worried about an interception to give our QB a chance with the play. Too tight.
It’s extremely tough to judge Satt, the WRs or Purdy based on the camera views TV gave us. It was horrible production by their TV crew. Rarely did we get any sense of what Purdy was looking at.
I stated multiple times last spring and summer that I was concerned about the complete change of staff and systems. I’m hoping another year in the system will help but that last 40 seconds of regulation didn’t boost my confidence.
And it couldn't be they had better players? So you are saying the first quarter when we ran all over them they hadn't stolen our signs yet but later they did?
Now that Michigan got caught is that going to be the excuse for losing? Steaming signs? If they were stolen, in game, then we don't have very good signs.
I miss the days of rotating WRs or a back and being quick enough with a play call to have a player bring it in from the sideline.
Satt has either a confidence issue, too many cooks in his kitchen or is very indecisive
At least get your personnel group in so we can get to the line if you need an extra 10 seconds to call a play
That or he was getting second guessed at times by the head coach. Hopefully it wasn’t just the pressure getting to him. I do think Wisconsin’s DC had him flummoxed
Not just a last game issue, though I agree wisc’s entire staff put ours through a coaching clinic last week
