O Staff

[Pepe Silvia]

All week I heard the talking heads talk about how important the QB run game was going to be in this game and we called very few, if any designed run plays. Last week we had a lot of success with QB power and I don’t think we saw it one time today. I’m not sure they called it after the third quarter last week. It’s almost like the staff saw how many times he ran last week and said they need to stop.

Had Sims thrown 1 pass from outside the pocket that wasn't a scramble?

Our inside runs look like they are setting up play action and bootlegs, then those plays just never come

Why do we keep having coaches who hire the absolute bottom of the barrel assistants

I mean, you might be able to say that about 2 of our current coaches… Satt and Donny, but we have no clue about the WRs as we have Kemp, Washington(who on 50% of plays looks like he could care less), and a bunch of freshmen. It seems that Satt/Sims is more of the issue there.

I guess I meant it most about Satt with Sims

10000% on that. I was willing to give him more than 1 week, but 4 completely unforced turnovers this week is inexcusable, and it’s time to move on.

I respect your opinion probably more than 99% of people on this board, but the only thing I have against the staff is Sims. 41 carries for 222 yards. Over 5 YPC. Sims fumbles 2 snaps that hit him in the hands, throws one of his patented interceptions where he telegraphs, can’t put the ball in the stomach of the RB, and then can’t snap the ball when he should with a guy in motion. None of that shit is on the coaches. That is 100% on the player. And satterfield isn’t the guy who picked Sims, that was Rhule

There were a lot of transfer QBs available and also one that had P5 experience on the roster.

He chose to go against every piece of available data and pick the one that led the P5 the last two years in turnovers.

Sorry, but that decision alone should lose you your job.

Urban Meyer said some telling things last week.

The only way teams win now is acquiring talent. Not only players but coaching.
Then follow is up immediately by saying Nebraska lacks talent.

He was pretty much calling out NU for getting the wrong coaches then talked about how Colorado, Texas state, and Wiscy all got elite staffs.

So you are implying that Sims called those plays that had motion when clearly we hadn’t practiced the timing of the play enough to get it right. Was the motion setting up a block? This was the game where we could have gone full Cockeye and won handily just by being boring and patient. Instead we went away from what was working and tried being cute with motions which led to 3, nearly 4, unforced turnovers where the buffs were just there to fall on the ball not actually play good D, and then had to turn Sims into a drop back passer. Satt called the exact game Colorado could have hoped for.

Are you actually implying we didn’t practice the play where the fullback goes in motion. GTFOH. Of course those plays were practiced. I can guarantee that has been ran since the beginning of fall camp. You don’t just start a week in advance running timing plays. Jesus come on.

If you (or anyone else) want to blame Satt, go for it. I’m not here to truly defend him, there were so many issues. But, I thought the play calling was far from the problem. The OL was far from the problem. The backs were far from the problem. The WRs weren’t the problem but had some crucial drops. The problems all revolved around 1 person and almost all of them were unforced. 2 dropped snaps. A terrible handoff. Come on man you are going to blame the OC for that?

If that were true on a wholesale basis, you wouldn’t see so many solid teams year in and year out with significantly less talent than teams they beat. Sure, it 100% helps for quick, but there are multiple ways to build something sustainable.

Rhule fucked up the OL, OC, and TE hires for sure. WR and RB hires looking like ass rn too.

It’s a nod to the OP. I agree on the notion of the O staff being replaced.

Question on Rb corch. Was Allen not givin a fuck in the off-season or run out. And grant messed up but no touches since?

Again, that isn’t the offensive staff. That was the HC. I’m referring to the OP that said the offensive staff was the problem. The offensive staff didn’t pick Sims. They were dealt the hand they had and called a game plan that should’ve won the game. When you give the other team 5 extra possessions (at least 3-4 unforced), you can’t blame the staff. You can blame the person that brought the player responsible for the turnovers. Guess who did that, Mr HC. And I love Rhule.

Do you truly think Satterfield had no say in who his QB was this year?

And With respect to Satt and Donny, as said, completely fine with that, although it’s still a tad premature to actually do it. It is 2 games. Would I raise an eyebrow if it happened, no.

Allen def didn't get along with him. And yes no touches for AG

 

[Jim14510]

And yes no touches for AG

Which is what everyone on the board wanted last week.

Eh, most did. Barthel ain't done shit but teach our best RB to fumble, and run off our 2nd best RB. Fuck that guy

He fumbled once and he’s done even though his entire body of work in games suggests it’s not a reoccurring issue. Then our QB literally can’t help himself but give the ball away and Rhule says there wasn’t a thought of replacing him.

I can’t watch this shit anymore.

I give coaches the benefit of the doubt on tough calls they have to make. But not rolling with Jeff Sims was a really easy one.

Further, I’m not sure there’s ever a sure bet on head coaches. But the only way we’ve seen that gets you close to that is when a head coach goes out and hires elite assistants around him. Rhule got all of those hires right on defense. I was wrong on Knighton bigly. But for as well as Rhule did on defense, he did as bad on offense and I’m not sure it was that hard to see.

 

[Skerz4Life50]

Do you truly think Satterfield had no say in who his QB was this year?

What I’m saying is who gives a fuck? Do you think somehow Satt had total control over who his QB was? Idk if he has had that in his entire career TBH. But, I can promise you that it wasn’t his and his alone decision to bring in Sims.

Regardless of who the QB was, regardless of who the OC was, the offensive game plan was fine. We ran the ball. We threw the ball. We were moving. The turnovers that happened had nothing to do with the coaching staff. That is the point. They can’t teach someone to catch the ball. They can’t teach someone how to handoff the ball. They were calling and executing plays based off the personnel they have. And nothing about the play calling did I think was the issue in this game. You give another team 5 extra possesssuons, good luck.
