The hot new thing is to get fired and take on an analyst position at another major program for a year or two.

If you're going to bring him in, I just don't see how it would make sense as an analyst, unless that's all he wants.

That's not uncommon for ex-HCs. They're still getting paid big bucks by their old schools, and Holgorsen had just been given a new contract before this season so he's set for years. And being an analyst is a hell of a lot less of a grind than HC is.

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.

I’m just curious- what are you basing this off of? Age? Lol

My guess is he’s coming in as QB coach/possibly assistant OC and Satt  owns OC and maybe TE’s.

as far as grinder goes, don’t think the demands for a sole qb coach are that high recruiting wise when you have an incoming 5 star.

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.

How much recruiting is he going to have to realistically do if he’s just the QB coach?  Incoming 5 star- perhaps he didn’t like recruiting as a head coach but that demand diminishes greatly if you’re just a sole position coach

 
Analyst role to try and coach up Satt and modernize his offense/blend some concepts in just really seems to make sense to me. Tutoring him if you will.

Here's an interview with Ted Monachino, an analysis at Missouri at the time. It's behind St Louis Today's paywall so here's a 12ft ladder link.

It's from Oct 2018. I don't know how (or if) the rules have changed since then.
