Satterfield

[Napkins]

I just never understand why fans have this overinflated sense of football knowledge to pretend they have any idea how good or bad coordinators are beyond “Offense could move ball good so OC good”

I don’t buy the “complicated terminology” thing because if that’s the case how does he get to the D1 level? Any OC worth his salt will scale things based on what the QB and the offense will grasp. You don’t get to that level without being able to do that.

He may very well be an awful OC, but most of us aren’t knowledgeable enough about football to know that and none of us are familiar enough with Rhule and Satterfields conversations to know how relevant his past stints will be next year anyways.

Fair point and I am certainly not knowledgeable enough to critique his offense. My understanding of the terminology criticism is that if it is wordy and slows down install or limits understanding on the part of the players, the scaling back point you raise limits the offense and what they are capable of reliably calling. It isn’t that he can’t do it, it’s the impact that would have on play calling and execution.

Bud Elliot has raked Satterfield over the coals twice now on Cover 3 and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to discuss the merits (or not) of his criticisms.

You are wrong. Any of our potato fans could do a better job

A lot of shut up and dribble in this thread on a message board centered on our fanaticism and desire to discuss all things Nebraska. You can’t lose an argument when you say “hey, they are the professional. Who da fuck are you?”

But what fun is that?

Counterpoint. It's Big Tone driving it so I wouldn't take it too seriously

OCs are the easiest coaches to bag on that most people don’t have a clue about.

No bias, right?

Lol. I have a lot of bias in that opinion.

It’s pretty funny @BIG TONE SOPRANO is taking this tact—wouldn’t this mean he could have never criticized the last coaching staff?

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

For the record I see no issue with criticism of coaches when the results are subpar - but when there’s no results to criticize it just seems similar to a 6th grade math class dissecting a theory from an MIT professor.

I'm just deciding to base my expectations on the 2019 Baylor season, as to what they'd like our offense to look like. This is based on @slattimer's breakdowns and the fact that it was the most recent (and most successful) year for Rhule. I know we're in a different conference, and Satterfield was the TEs coach/assistant HC rather than OC, but it seems like the most logical place to look for a comparison.

Passing: 31.7 attempts/game, 255 yards/game
Rushing: 36 attempts/game, 166 yards/game

Their QB had 3,161 yards passing and 344 yards rushing
Their top two RBs split time and had around 650 yards rushing each


In NU terms, a pretttttyyyy close comparison would be the 2008 season:

Passing: 33.3 attempts/game, 281 yards/game
Rushing: 37.4 attempts/game, 169.8 yards/game

Ganz had 3,568 yards passing and 258 yards rushing
Helu and Lucky had 803 and 517 yards rushing, respectively


Like @BluesBucksNHuskers said, I have no idea how to actually look deeper than this level, but I did find it pretty interesting from a casual fan expectation standpoint.

I think if you can bring receipts and show exactly why you are taking swipes at certain coaches, there is no problem discussing that and pointing out what you think are deficiencies. It's the tater faction that points to less than nothing and acts sanctimonious about it thats fucking annoying and a plague on this fanbase.

They were morons. All of them

The year we were running a ball-hogging, control-the-clock offense because our defense was so shitty and we needed to keep them off the field? Is that what we have to look forward to with the Rhule era? 🤔

If it wins us 9 or 11 games with a record setting QB then uhhhhh yeah I hope so

You’re thinking of 2009

Please don't make me watch winning football

Bud Elliot can suck a fat glizzy. He looks like a potato with toothpick arms and legs. Fuck that guy.

To be fair, he paid the full cost of law school and then quit practicing as an attorney 5 months in so his judgment is without reproach
