Offensive Staff

Uh Huh Sure GIF
You were up Frost’s ass for poor assistant hires. Don’t be a hypocrite now. It all starts at the top.
 
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.
21 probably isn’t making you a bowl team. Even if we improve we are going to see mostly better defenses down the stretch outside Michigan. I just don’t see how we score many points. This defense is solid but they can’t continue to save the day every game.

Another thing which has been overlooked is our special teams. For the most part they haven’t been very good. We are winning 3-4 games with this offense and below average special teams even if you have a good defense.
 
Maybe for this year, Rhule is sacrificing short term success in a variety of ways, either to help the team in winnable games this season or build for year 2/3. I choose to lie to myself so I can cling to hope
 
They brought in a transfer like we did. They got a qb who fit their system and we got whatever we got. That’s on rhule and Satterfield.
If you were a qb in transfer portal and were being offered by Wisconsin and Nebraska, who would you choose?

A team that typically has a good oline or one that guarantees you’ll be running for your live a good part of the game. I’m guessing 99 out of 100 would choose Wisconsin.

That's why we need to offer a 7 figure payday. The program can't afford to half-ass this much longer.
 
I am starting to think we may win a couple more games this season, tops. Could be another 4-8 season.
 
Go get a real OC and at least build towards something.

Satterfield sucks ass. He always has. There is nothing in his history to even give optimism towards anything different. Nebraska should have let him get shit canned at South Carolina - instead they gave him $1.4MM.

Should Satterfield be fired because of this game = No.
Should Satterfield be fired at the end of the year when the offense still sucks = Yes.

The guy is the highest paid assistant coach in NU history and is doing an incredible Bobby Diaco impression. He did nothing in the off season to fix glaring offensive issues and seemingly calls plays based off of a dart throw. My fear is that NU will spend 3 years with this shit head, be in the same position at that point, and only then will Rhule make a change because at that point he’ll be coaching for his job.

Go get Brennan Marion and build an identity. A hungry up and coming Coach with connections all over who will recruit his ass off and will get the Joe’s in the portal for an immediate impact.
 
In my mind we need to get a capable grad transfer QB this off-season to give some buffer/development time to Kaelin. Will we? Who knows…but god I hope so.
People need to stop looking at the portal for redemption. The quality of players available is declining. The Covid year guys are leaving, and as they do, the big bubble of fairly decent players the extra year of eligibility forced into the portal is declining. Pretty soon it will almost all be players moving down. The handful of truly good guys who want to re-locate will only be going to good programs. Portal guys will be guys who either never lived up to the hype or had other issues.

Long run the only way to build something solid is basing it largely on recruiting.

Let Satterfield call plays for Michigan and let their OC call plays for us and I guarantee you the score isn’t much different at all. Honestly, I don’t know how people can‘t see how much better their athletes were yesterday. And as far as identity goes isn’t it OBVIOUS we want to run the ball.
Talked to a former offensive player on Friday night and he said it was so nice to finally have an offensive identity.
