OT: Things are getting rough for Satterfield in Lincoln

[18IsTheMan]

"As the bye week begins, Rhule must either reassign offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield to another role or fire him.
Marcus Satterfield is indefensible.
And Matt Rhule is emerging as an enabler to the potential destruction of his Nebraska program and the career of quarterback Dylan Raiola."

"Nebraska’s offense, coordinated by Marcus Satterfield, rarely had any flow or showed an identifiable strength."

"Worse than the numbers were the frequent looks of befuddlement by Raiola. He appeared to be what he is: a freshman going through on-the-job training with a questionable supporting cast and an unimaginative coordinator with no logic in his play calling."

"Two weeks ago, Satterfield admitted that he had not emphasized the run game enough or fully understood its importance in the Big Ten. Yet he repeated his admitted ignorance on Saturday. It’s obvious that he doesn’t get it and never will. This can’t go on."

"Marcus Satterfield is yet to counter with adjustments to those schemes. Utter incompetence."

"Marcus Satterfield was NOT a hot commodity when Rhule was hired at Nebraska. At that time, Satterfield was the offensive coordinator at South Carolina, where nobody was looking to poach him."

FWIW, I don't have any animosity towards Marcus. He was a terrible OC here, but he didn't give himself the job. I just thought it was an extremely puzzling move for Nebraska to hire him based on his body of work here.

He is so *****. One of the best moves we have made in a long time was opening the door for him to exit.

 

[Lakemurraycock]

Who could of guessed that? I didn't want him to go away mad. I just wanted him gone. Nebraska deserves a shout out for helping.

 

[Lurker123]

I am so glad we dropped him. What a joke.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.
This is why friendship should never be a hiring motive for a HC. It can be a bonus but not a motive.

 

[KingWard]

Is that boy who used to hang around here still pleasuring him someplace?

I always think of Nick Saban hiring Lane Kiffin. They outright didn't get along. Total personality mismatch, but Saban pursued the best and made it work.

 

[Lurker123]

Yes. And we want HER to stay on that little **** stain of a board.

I remember the Nebraska fans saying we were jealous they stole our OC when we were saying good riddance and how bad he was.

When he was hired, the Nebraska Twitter account put out a graphic with just the offensive stats from the UT and Clemson games. I was thinking "Ok, now show the stats from the 23 games before that."

 

[GCJerryUSC]

Too bad. I pull for Neb. They used to dominate CFB. Kinda hard to understand since they play on frozen tundra and have to dodge stampeding caribou on the field.

It’s why he’s got his last two jobs and is why I am convinced he kept his job after year one here. I don’t buy into the thinking that he was going to be fired after 2022, I think Beamer would have kept him. But it worked out and he’s elsewhere.

You mean the two games after they had removed him from behind the steering wheel.

Well, this is quite the rebuke of Satterfield's tenure: Nebraska has hired Dana Holgorsen as an offensive consultant.

They sit at 5-4 with 3 winnable games left on the schedule. It's obvious Rhule doesn't believe Satterfield can deliver an offense to win these games. You're not gonna fire an OC with 3 games left in the season, though.

Personally, I'd rather just be fired than have to stay on staff and watch someone else do my job.
