Jacobson was a monster on D - overshadowed by the even bigger monster R Glover. He was an outland winner - imagine his stats if he was the only beast on the line like SUH was.
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.
Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.
The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said,
A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
Zack was an important cog, but in his day, Jake was a monster DT and nearly unstoppable. He outweighed almost all OL guys.
