Should we fire Satterfield??

This is the other head banger, even in our wins. Our strength is actually designed runs off tackle with anyone in the backfield or on jet sweeps. Which is wild given the performance of our tackles the last few years. But we run want to run inside zone all the time...

Yep, it's painful.

I also wonder if the staff felt like they had to focus so much practice time attention on the passing game to get Raiola into a place where he could be successful as a freshman.

Again though, we couldn't have reasonably won this game really no matter what we would have tried to do with how bad our defense was.

In theory Rhule calls Marcus into his office and helps him dial up some better running plays heading into the next two weeks and we see it pay some dividends against the 2 or 3 games that are technically winnable out of the remaining 5.

If the two of them together can't figure out some way to be better with first down success rate and running the ball and we don't fire Satterfield, we're probably f***ed.

If Indiana really is elite this year (even if they're not, they're good), then the game was one where your offense has to produce to keep the defense rested and hope they get a stop. Otherwise it's a boat race at best or this piece of s#!t we saw today at worst. Not being able to put offensive drives together f#&%ed the defense.

Rinse and repeat next week...

Riley is a pipe dream and will probably shred us Nov 16.  Utah fans are down on Ludwig.  
 

Somone break down Cramsey vs Willy Korn.  Both these guys seem realistic to take next step.

I'm biased on Korn because of Chadwell.  Korn has been everywhere with Chadwell to include playing for him at Chadwell's first coaching gig.  Then receivers coach at Charleston Southern then Coastal Carolina and now at Liberty.  He's been in this system for years.  Plus how can Nebraska not want a guy named Korn.....

 
if past history is any indication he won't be fired until rhule absolutely has to. and if we make a bowl game for the first time since 2016 i don't think satterfield gets fired...the bar is pretty low here right now.

Willy Korn will either be a head coach himself or the OC at whatever big school Chadwell is heading next season

 
This offense reminds me a lot of the Riley offenses. 
 

Defense well if yesterday was the start of a trend then the defense is starting to look like a banker/diaco defense. 
 

hell riley had a s#!tty special teams coordinator too 

s#!t the more I type this it’s all starting to feel like year 2 Mike Riley. Having Ohio state on the docket this week is only going to make those feelings get worse

Better than Billy Bugeater 

 
I mocked this thread earlier bc we were 5-1 and I don’t think firing the OC mid-season w that record is anything other than fan arm chair qb-ing.

Before the season started I had said ‘when your title goes from OC/ QB coach to Co-OC/TE coach, you better have a good year.’

He is not.

Count me in as this being a needed change after the season.

 
Things that bother me:

Rhule talking about needed to establish/ stick w the run but 6 of our first 7 plays are passes.

Obvs running back rotation is wrong.

Raiola stands back there and pats the ball…until something bad happens. Constantly throwing off his back foot.

Does anyone else think he is passing up open shorter looks to try longer shots? Move the chains. This isn’t high school.

Where is some inventive quick pass game?

The quick out where our receivers can’t block, or if they do they get called for penalties. How many time do we need to watch that?

We have 2 big bodied receivers and no slant game?
