QB Coach
- Thread starter ATX_Husker

For all you Satt-haters out there, this was the best possible scenario you could have hoped for.
Raiola is still unproven as a college QB, but he has the skills and tools of a special QB. Much like a Ferrari car, you don’t let a “shade tree” mechanic work on such a car. We need the best mechanic (QB coach) to work on our talented QB (Ferrari) to get the most performance. I hope we have our mechanic.
Having said that, I’m still uncertain about our Receivers coach. Due to injuries, poor QB play, last season was so chaotic with our passing game, you couldn’t get a real handle on how well our receivers were coached. I hope we have the right mechanic for this group.

I agree RR that the jury is still out on Coach McGuire. But I like the kid and trust Coach knew what he was doing when he hired him.
Like you said, there was no way to get a true read on him given last year's chaos. It had to have been an emotionally tough season for such a young WR coach. He had to deal with A LOT in his first year. Dealing with Zavier Betts and the rash of injuries that hit his room would have tried the patience of a senior coach, let alone a rookie.
But, it could be argued, that struggling through some rough times before experiencing any bigtime success is The Best Thing that could've happened to Garrett as he continues to develop as a coach. Odds are pretty high that he's going to be a great one.
I think the standard today are for two-year contracts.
But it should be noted that Rhule signed Josh Martin to a one-year contract to coach TEs---which allowed him the flexibility to hire Glenn Thomas as Co-OC and QB Coach without it disrupting the staff too much. Martin (if he wishes) can go back to his analyst position.
I like the change - I do think game management will improve simply by having another brain in the mix with a co-OC. Hopefully play calling will too (if Thomas understands what his QB and offense can actually execute - better than Satterfield did - that alone will improve the offense).
We presume this allows Satt to call the game from the box and Thomas to /manage coach QBs from the sideline. Anyone see salary information for Thomas? I wonder what he is getting paid.. that might inform how his role as Co-OC is planned.
I believe one year is the standard
As lame as Satt os anything is an improvement
I think Thomas is a better fit for Rhule's type of offense than Holgorsen is. I see Rhule's offense as more of a pro type offense than Holgorsen uses. However, I think both of these men are excellent coaches and more than capable of teaching the fundamentals of an effective passing game.
The rushing game was pretty good last season. It faded a little late in the season because teams were disregarding our pass game and putting 7 or 8 in the box to stuff the run. With an effective passing game, defenses will not be able to stack the box. That will make the rush offense better. I also like the idea of being balanced and able to exploit whatever type of defense is thrown at you.

All the pieces are in place to force the B1G to adjust to us.
Lol yep like me. Lower Satts $1.4 million to $1 mill or lower until he proves he's earned it. Then raise him back up.That’ll give some board members something to b!tch about
I've actually heard of businesses that have done that to their employees working in underperforming stores.
I've thought to myself, yeah THAT'll do the trick!!! What A GREAT WAY to inspire employee buy-in and support!!!
