Breaking Satt just lost his job, Dana to serve as OC

[Adolph Coors]

Someone convince me that this is not a sign of panic

no because its overdue

 

[Tonkasker]

Might be shadowboxing here with my previous comment but this might end up looking shrewd in hindsight given that this will be the most incredible OC/DC offseason market ever. He would have multiple suitors

 

[Alcaus]

Dana is OC

Never mind. I googled the answer to my question.

Give me Okie St in 2010 offense and I want it yesterday.

USC: We're changing quarterbacks. Nebraska won't know what's coming.

Rhule: Hold my beer.

(Rhule to the side: It's a metaphor, Dana, get back to work.)

According to Steve Marik, Rhule is taking a lot of ownership for things gone wrong

It is a sign of panic. A move to keep the most talented freshman QB in the nation from either A) Getting Killed or B) Transferring

Holy Shit we won the bye week!

 

[Red Finger]

Timeline:

- Rhule meets with Dana in the summer about a position, Dana doesn't come here
- Satterfield is the OC for 9 games after that.
- Dana, midseason, changes his mind, comes to Nebraska as a "consultant"
- Today, he's basically named OC.

Takeaway(s):

- Dana wasn't coming here unless he got the OC job.
- Rhule fired Satterfield last week in about the nicest way he possibly could, made public today.
- WE...ARE.....SO....FREAKING....BACK

I don’t think panic is the right word when it’s the sensible thing to do

 

[HughJanus]

Panic? Maybe, but the situation is what it is. There is no downside to this with how bad our offense has been. Doing nothing would be worse.

People always find something to complain about

Would panic be unwarranted?

Man what great Monday morning news this is

Makes my whole week better

I know Rhule finds a lot of criticism among fans, especially as of late. Such is the case of the HC of Nebraska. But this is just another impressive thing he's done. Usually when a team gets rid of their OC, they end up with some position coach getting his first shot at play calling. We just dropped ours and ended up with one of the better offensive minds of the past 2 decades calling plays. Will it work out? Time will tell. But still a hell of a move regardless.

Also, you have to admire Rhules loyalty. He knows he has a job to do and did it, but you could see it in him when he announced it how uncomfortable it made him to make it public that his friend is being demoted.

There's something to be said about a leader that's truly willing to do the hard stuff. If the wins follow as hoped, Rhule is going to have undeniable buy in.

IMO Rhule should've done this right after the Buttgers game.

It’s a sign that Rhule holds everyone accountable. Just because you’re a friend doesn’t change the fact that the offense was stagnant and a change was needed. If a player isn’t cutting it on the field they get changed out.
