Tonite I saw hints of the '95 Huskers. We have a lot of work to do but I think with Rhule and Holgerson, I think within the next 2-3 seasons, we will be on the ranking polls and pushing for the Big 10 Legends title and then? Who knows? Maybe a National title is in the future??
Offensive is the right word. The Pipeline is clogged and needs a plumber ASAP. The you know what is backing up into the basement. That Focker is our offensive line.
Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.
Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.
Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.
Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.
