Potential Assistant coach change(s)

[Vince R.]

Well, if Nebraska wants to start winning, it would be for OC and close to 2M. This is the big boy move that we desperately needed, and a hell of a sell to recruits, and a shock to the rest of the conference.

At least the QB coach. Satt has no business coaching them. 

 

[Archy1221]

As an analyst or QB/Co-OC position?

Whatever we can get him as.   He’s a heck of a coaching mind

3 weeks? What is he acclimating at Everest base camp? Who goes on a 3 week vacation?

If you were set to get paid $3M, I bet you would take your time before getting back to work as well.

Holgorsen has been a part of some monster offenses at many many different places.

Yep, Kliff Kingsbury bought a 1-way ticket to Thailand to...ummm....release some stress after he was let go by Arizona.

Would be awesome to have him. He’d bring a lot to the table. 
 

Some of his offenses were lethal.

I think the opposite.  If people who agree with a comment would just like it instead of stating the same thing over and over, these threads wouldn't be so full of repetitive posts.  

I definitely agree with this comment. People should just like things they agree with, not make a new post! What an annoying thing for someone to do.

I agree.

 

[BlackHillsHusker]

Has there been anymore rumors on Barthel or Martin moving on?

 

[funhusker]

I agree.

These are some good points!  I really don't see anything wrong with it.

Nothing new, but at this point I think we can safely say that Rhule is looking to bring in at least one more offense coach, so at least one of them would have to be bumped.

If we bring in both Thomas and Holgorsen, I could see Rhule doing something like Bo did and give guys Assistant/Associate Head Coach titles.

 

[teachercd]

I have no info, but wondering if this is as an analyst while he collects his buyout.
 

Dana doesn’t seem to be the type of grinder that Rhule looks for in his assistants.

Dude is great with QB's and offense.

The downside as an on the field coach is Holgorsen really hates recruiting.

It would be an enormous shot in the arm for this offense though, as this staff desperately needs to completely restructure this passing game. Whatever role he takes, it'll be a big influence because the Air Raid brings a structured approach that, imo, Satterfield has always lacked.

Some may be wondering how the Air Raid matches with Rhule's stated offensive philosophy, and to that I'll say to look at Michigan. A lot of their passing game is based on Air Raid concepts. You don't need 4 tiny wide receivers to utilize this approach it just started that way because the Air Raid, like most offensive systems, was designed to solve roster limitations at a school that didn't recruit the way the bigger schools did.

Whatever role he ultimately takes, it will help solve the biggest problem this offense had last year: rhythm and timing. Our passing concepts had no sense of timing in their progressions and the QBs often held the ball, way, way longer than you can realistically expect to block. That's literally the problem the Air Raid was designed to solve.

 

[Decked]

I think he comes as an analyst between gigs but who knows 

 

[floridacorn]

Holgorsen would be a really interesting addition.  I'm guessing Rhule has a relationship with him, because it's not a scheme fit.  Which could be really electric or combustible.  Again, interesting.  Those Air Raid guys seem to be true believer, blood oath Air Raid guys.
