I will say this, so our DL and OL coach were from the NFL.. serving as “assistant coach”
These guys were not the DL or OL coach for their teams, they were the NFL equivalent of a GA

how about we hire some real fvcking coaches that actually coach a good line somewhere?

not some lame *** assistant

That lame *** D line coach might recruit us a difference maker at DT.

What decent DC or OC are going to take a job under a lame duck head coach that will be gone in 13 months?
With that buyout Rhule isn’t going anywhere other than the bank in 13 months. I can still remember the howls and distress when we paid BC 4 million to go away

I would like to be hired as director of common sense. When you've run the ball right down a team's throat the entire half, have one of the best RB in the country who is absolutely cooking, a freshman QB who is hobbled, it’s snowing, and its 2nd and 4......run the ******* ball.

If you changed your play call to a fade, you’re in the running for our next OC.

Holgorsen has been a big disappointment this year. His job should be in jeopardy, but probably isn’t.

Changes have to be made before that . The portal opens January 2nd . Players have to now who they are playing for.

That used to be the biggest factor but now it seems $$$ has more influence in the decision. Same for BB. Kelvin Sampson said in a news article that players go where they are paid the most these days. Guessing CFB is the same way.

If NU truly increases NIL significantly for next year, that should make a huge difference in the quality of the roster. The big question is whether the coaching staff can do anything with it.

Seems like the offense could have been more creative and the play calling (based on who was in the game) less predictable. But in his defense, he did have to completely change his approach when Dylan went out. And people were clamoring to get a RB over 1000 yards. And get the ball in the hands of our best playmaker (Emmitt). Cut down on sacks-- that certainly happened but then the WR production fell off the map. There was some good with the bad.

The OL and RB coach need to go. I’ve seen enough. Let Satterfield’s contract finally expire and subtract him from this team. Any of these non-coaching consultants making $200K+ (eg Phil Snow) need to be ruthlessly evaluated regarding the true value of their contributions.

There could be other good moves.

If we want to do better at developing our players, here’s a radical thought: Stop hiring people for coaching positions that aren’t currently working in that role at full capacity. We have had that under Rhule with OL, DL, DC, and WR. And the results track.

If there's any accountability and anyone serious about running an actually football program left in the AD offices, it will be Rhule and his entire band of losers. Short of that, you know people aren't serious about football anymore.

Are the days of firing the head coach who finishes 9-3 with pride and joy gone?

In my perfect world? Donnie, Butler, Eckler takes over linebackers, and Satterfield. And I’m not even kidding… Bring Brian Ferents in to coach TEs. Time to build some freaking run blocking-touchdown catching weapons and draft picks at that position.

Mmmm. I wouldn’t be so certain about nobody leaving. I suspect there’s a guy or two who have been given permission to look for other spots.
Take the 400K savings from telling Snow to take a hike and give that to Eck just for starters.

Make the rest of the contracts performance based.
