Awful play calling

In how many games?
No, that's not it. I think the "argument" is that Satterfeld and Rhule aren't running their offense, and if they had a QB to run that offense they'd be better coaches. It's absolutely true that the offense was retooled during the summer because of the "limitations" at WR and QB, and then it's evolved further into something neither Satterfeld or Rhule have experience with running.
A few weeks ago, Rhule said that the option part of the offense was "a lark" after the coaches watched some old Husker game film. After that, he asked Coach Osborne to come in to break down tape and teach the option offense to the current offensive coaches.
Satterfeld and Rhule want to run a pass-first West Coast Offense system. That's what they have been selling on the recruting trail the entire year. The only QB in the recruting class, Daniel Kaelin, absolutely 100% cannot run the current offense. He'd be awful at it, and he'd probably get injured doing it too. The #1 HS QB the Huskers want next year would also be awful at this offense.
IMO Rhule has really accidentally set himself up for failure by not going 100% "all in" with the WCO he's been recruiting for despite the fact the Huskers might only have one or two wins. I think he got himself into this pickle because he saw what Tony White and his players have done, and he didn't want to waste that effort, which is to Rhule's credit. Unfortunately, it's created a bigger long term problem.

Nice post.
But I thought we were being sold on a run heavy wear them out ground game?
Rhule needs an OC that runs the offense he wants. I totally agree with your post and why I actually think Satt is let go. I could sense the frustration during the press conference today.
I've heard Rhule has reached out to the Yellow Telatubbie. Has two years eligibility left, was a 2** hockey goalie out of HS
Because you're a poor play caller, I believe.
And your QB is so poorly coached he throws the ball away on a RPO
Can he throw? If so, sign him up…I've heard Rhule has reached out to the Yellow Telatubbie. Has two years eligibility left, was a 2** hockey goalie out of HS
Well you better explain that to a lotta folks around here because they are still blaming everything on the slowly (yes we’d all like quicker) improving oline and that coach…. Because he was here with the last staff
Isn't very mobile, but has a " can do" attitude
You guys talk like this is peewee football and that the qbs just need to be taught how to play the game. No matter how much coaching is done at this point, our qbs can NOT play this game at this level…
That might be true but it's just not the point we are making. Do you think we had any good RBs this year? I don't think any have a 100 yard game. I think we have several good ones. But the OC does not put them in a position to perform.
YES! I couldn't believe people bought into that and tried to convince me that returning a bunch of starting O-linemen who have been horrible their entire NU career was a good thing.
