Rhule calls firing of Marcus Satterfield ridiculous

After Nebraska’s frustrating loss to Maryland last Saturday, Husker fans took to social media to express their discontent with the team’s performance, especially the offense. Their frustration was so loud that it reached head coach Matt Rhule.

Rhule encouraged fans to voice their opinions, saying, “I have no problem with that. The fans should be critical.” He also acknowledged the team’s struggles, mentioning that “We’ve never made an excuse,” and emphasizing the team’s resiliency and perseverance.

Currently, the Huskers stand at 114th in total offense and 118th in scoring offense nationally, which undoubtedly adds to the disappointment of their fans. Rhule, however, maintains his belief in their fighting spirit and a consistent, positive trajectory for the team.

Despite recognizing the fans’ need to vent, Rhule rejected the idea of changing the philosophy or coordinators. He highlighted the futility of simply changing personnel as a solution and expressed his steadfastness in the team’s path forward.

Interestingly, Rhule and Marcus Satterfield have a history together, working as assistants at Western Carolina and in Rhule’s inaugural staff at Temple. Knowing this background provides valuable insight into the Huskers’ current coaching dynamics and decision-making processes.

As Nebraska supporters eagerly anticipate changes and improvements, it’s evident that their opinions won’t result in immediate changes in the team’s structure. It looks like the Huskers are committed to their current offensive coordinator.
