I like it. Some kids do better with a very blunt assessment, some do not . Having both works for me. I hope we can hold onto him
To avoid another Bob Wager situation, given Dana likes to get his drink on, Marcus Satterfield can stay on as Dana's limo driver.
Turns out that "young kid" was Emmett Johnson, who, those of us here on BHF, have been saying for 8 weeks he was the best RB on the roster and asking amongst ourselves why he wasn't starting or getting more touches?
I said at the Illinois game if he had 20 touches we would win easily. I think today proved that right.
Boark had a lot of touches, and I can’t recall Thomas on the field at all………..rewatching and he was in on the first drive

DH may stick around- or he may leave. I don't think money will be a factor. If he stays, he'll get top dollar as an OC. If he leaves he'll get maybe more money as a HC- maybe a lot more.
It's all about what Dana wants to do. He may even retire.
The big thing is find out quickly and plan accordingly. There are OCs available who may fit the bill-fired HCs who are offensive minded come to mind. If Dana leaves, we need to have a plan and implement it smoothly.
I suspect Rhule and Dana are on the same page at this point and the plan is in place.
Somebody tell me again, what does Glen Thomas do? I forgot.

I think Dana is still getting paid by Houston. If so them the money isn’t an issue in the short term. The issue would come if he gets another HC job.
We would be blessed if we lose DH to a HC gig. Same with Tony White. Their personal success will mean they've gotten noticed because the Huskers are 'kicking butt' on both sides of the ball.
Money is not an issue, or it shouldnt be, with the deals these guys make, Houston gave him 15 Million
I always thought if Dana is not planning to be OC next season - part of his reason for coming in was to "tee-up" the OC job for somebody from his coaching tree. Not sure who that would be but I think helping Rhule get the right guy (especially for DR15) will be critical.
Yep. I even said this last season. He's the best RB on the roster. Dowdell is good but he's not near as quick and fast as EJ is.
Fidone was benched after committing the false start penalty in the first half.
From what I've been told DH doesn't want to be a HC anytime soon. He's burnt out on that. Hopefully that's good news for us and he's starting to enjoy coaching again.
Maybe Dowdell could be moved to FB? Or perhaps more practically, have both Dowdell and Johnson on the field at the same time. A 2 RB set? Crazy!!!!!
