Offensive Staff

Year 0.5 of Rhule vs Year 8 of Harbaugh probably isn't the best measurement stick to go by. We didn't get shut out, and should get a better feel for any improvements over the next 7 games.

 

[Chi7397]

They gave Scotty 5 years I think we can give Rhule more than 5 games.

IDK, Matt Rhule isn’t even from Nebraska, let alone a former player….

If somehow Rhule doesn’t have a winning season by year 3 he is gone because he isn’t Scotty, but I would like to think we atleast get to 6-7 wins by then.

Agreed. I mean JFC, where was all this vitriol in Scottys first year when that douchebag started 0-6?

Let’s blame the lightening and Riley for 5 years.

Now in 5 games in into a rebuild we’ve seen enough.

Took Harbaugh 6 years to get it figured out and they almost ran him out of town during Covid. I'd love to know what his staff turnover looked like in the early years.

Harbaugh was still winning 9-10 games for the most part. If Rhule does that he will definitely be fine. Michigan has higher standards than we do at this point.

Fuck the lack of an offensive identity, the horrible situational playcalling, the fact that getting a first down feels like getting a root canal.

What I'm angry at is that we're paying him $1.4 million a year for this load of horseshit. We could have hired an actually elite OC with half of the money we're paying Satterfield. He had two good games at South Carolina & one decent season at Temple (he wasn't even Matt Rhule's best OC) and he's getting paid like he's Eric Bieniemy or some shit.

Some of you guys kill me. You can’t win the Kentucky derby riding a jackass. It was so obvious the talent gap and depth today it was ridiculous. And as far as identity goes, we have run the ball all year, but when you get down 28-0 that quick things change. For the most part all teams run most of the same plays and concepts anyway. They all steal from each other.

Satt ain't worth a tenth of what he's being paid. Straight robbery. Ordinary Nebraskans getting fleeced by this imposter of an OC

Against P5 Opponents this offense is historically bad:

Plays/Game	Yards/Game	Points/Game	Yards/Point	Rz Pts/Game	Pts/RZ Att	3rd Down %
55	313	10.3	30.55	3.3	2.0	35.29

To put some of this into context here's where these stats would rank nationally this year (out of 133)

Plays/Game: 55 (130th)
Yards/Game: 313 (107th)
Points/Game: 10.3 (129th)
Yards/Point: 30.55 (132nd)
RZ Pts/Game: 3.3 (133rd) This is fucking laughable
Pts/RZ Att: 2.0 (133rd)
3rd Down %: 35.29% (93rd)

There is no reason to be mad at Satterfield. It’s good to have connections. If you want to be pissed be pissed at Rhule for hiring him.

It’s going to be brutal offensively the whole season.

 

[BorWhiskey]

We need to call the plays where we have a better QB, WRs, and an OL. And damn right we should blame Rhule for putting us in this position where we aren't calling plays that give us different players.

 

[Blakejc]

I refuse to believe we're not capable of more, and I assume that's what OP is getting at. No more G5 teams on the schedule to pad stats.

Design an offense capable of being 90th in the country (21 PPG) and I'll give you a bowl team. An offense ranked 75th (24 PPG) probably gets us 8-4. Problem is we need to improve drastically to be the 90th best offense in the country. Just pitiful.

[mcgradynu]

It’s pretty wild how much the last two staffs hollowed out our offensive depth. Like mind-blowing.

 

[Frogsker30]

Does rhule have history of firing staff?

 

[kaz36]

Worst offense I can remember at NU. 2009 wasnt good either, but with that defense, that was partly intentional.

Yes.

There are some fucking morons on this board (as well as Tater Island).

If you're saying this tonight you're an idiot: "Yes, NU has a roster that's hot garbage, but if we had a different staff we'd be more equal to Michigan (the #2 team in the country)." I've read this moronic take all over TPB. You can't have it both ways.

Assistant coaches are not wizards & warlocks. We're 4-5 TDs worse than Michigan (a Michigan that's playing that hard & sharp as they were today). Different assistant coaches wouldn't have changed that today.

Hell, you all thought White was an A+ hire and the UM offense went through our D like a hot knife through butter today. Michigan is just better than us - you trying to pin the loss on this asst coach or that asst coach just makes you look dumb.
