I honestly think that option was put in just because they were trying any way to gain a few yards this year. With the QBs they've shown interest in and signed...I don't think they have any interest in having the QB run game be a dominant part of the game plan.
That being said, I'm not defending Satterfield, I still am not a fan. But yeah last year those offensive meetings had to be like "welp, guess if we run option Henrich might fall forward for 3 yards"
