Huskers will have a new long snapper, place kicker, punter, and holder this season.

As proven in the past decade, a strong kicking game has bailed us out of more close games more than a few times.

Last season's return game was dismal. Talented position players will return kicks, but Huskers need more depth to sustain.

Kicking has not been a problem and should be fine. The return game has NOT looked good the past couple of years.

Kicking has always been our strong point and I don't see it wavering now even with a new long snapper.

Ron Bauer

Can always improve in the returning of kick-offs and punts. Especially kick-offs.

Take a look at the average SEC OL.... we need more work and development.

Brian Machan

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

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.

Brad Bredenkamp

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.

Robert Lloyd

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.

Brad Bredenkamp

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.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

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.

michael daly

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
