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

[Stan Raymond]

That's going to be a massive paycut though. $1.4 mil. No way you pay a TE coach anywhere close to that amount. I think he's gone after this season but that's just speculation.

Satterfield is getting 1.4 million from Nebraska for next year whether he is coaching here or not, might as well have him work for it.

As far as the Carter Nelson stuff - he should have been in the TE room from the jump. Just the natural position for him, and dayum we need that kind of speed and skill talent at TE.

No idea what his tweet means. Maybe nothing. Maybe he's made a decision on transferring. Maybe Holgs has decided he is now a TE instead of flexed out in slot. Hell, he's the type of athlete at TE that can flex out to slot (I want players who can play multiple - tough to defend ala Niners offensive skill players).

But get this kid at TE full time. Flex him out some. Utilize his talent - it is an obvious area of need for us at the TE position. I hope this is what the plan is with Holgs coming in as OC.

Lots of mouth breathers over complicating this.

Holgerson, though he belongs to the coaching tree of Mike Leach, is not an “air raid traditionalist” if there is such a thing.

Dana runs the ball more than most think, traditionally, and has done so well. The idea of him being an “air raid coach” is really just due to the concepts within the passing game, and not the act of throwing the ball 55 times per game.

We, and nearly everyone else in CFB, run a lot of air raid concepts already.

• Mesh
• 4-Verticals
• All Hitches
• Y-Cross
• Y-Corner
• Y-Stick
• Y-Shallow

A lot of our current passing attack has these concepts built in.

Satterfield was not bad at play design.

Satterfield is not a bad teacher.

Satterfield was not a bad game planner (at least until the defense adjusted.)

Satterfield was just atrociously bad at a few things:

1. Sequencing said concepts to keep the defense guessing.
2. Sequencing said concepts in a logical order regarding down, distance, and game situation.
3. Adjusting on the fly to counter what the defense was showing.
4. Calling plays that would give our current personnel the best chance to be successful.

That’s what Dana is here to do. Rhule/Satt gave him the playbook. His job is to look at who we have, and call the best game he can.

Let’s see how it goes.

Great insight.

If the news post of Satt getting relieved of OC duties wasn't it, I would say this is POTW.

I agree a change needed to be made. But so little time to make much impact in my opinion. If he can put together a better game plan, great.

I hope this change succeeds in the short term and really hope it extends in to next year where we could really see results.

Not trying to be negative Nancy by any means. Just hoping it’s not too late for this year.

wouldn’t it make the most sense for him to go through our current playbook and put together a package of plays we know/run well and to form a numbered play sheet that he essentially calls play numbers to sat for sat to call in in our terminology? This would basically break sats tendencies and help us to attack pressures in new ways that we haven’t shown, while not over complicating things more than they need to be.
