Respectfully agree to disagree. While I’m no Satterfield apologist, I recognize that often times his stats are limited by the types of games where we’ve won. We’ve gotten a lead, and then we’ve gone conservative in the 2nd half to just run out the clock and end the game. We lost to Illinois due to our special teams, and we lost to Indiana due to everything really, but if you go back and watch the film, the offense outplayed the defense.
I’m tired of people putting White on a pedestal. Yes our defense dominates in games that we’re supposed to win, but in games where we play a team with a pulse, we’ve been no better off this season.
Folks give White a pass because his defense over performed last season. Take last season out of it, and watch the film, and we have three coordinators who aren’t cutting it. White, Satterfield, AND Foley.
I’m a White fan, I do think he’s really good, but we really haven’t taken a step I thought we’d take this year with what we had coming back on the roster.
The defenses performance was not good at all against Indiana and spotty against Illinois. Our performance the rest of the way out will inform my thought process on wether or not I agree with you on him ‘not cutting it’.
Satterfield’s much further down the road than White and Foley is in the ditch, IMO.
