So as far as Satterfield, now what are your feelings?
- Thread starter cockn'fyr
- Start date
Ok. Maybe it was just chance that what you saw just matched up to your long term hater agenda and was completely detached from actual reality.
It happens. I guess.
It was also by chance that I said I take Beamer at his word that Satterfield called all the plays. But that was not mentioned by you. Just happened to overlook that. That happens. I guess.
much of what everyone is saying is true. I'll point out though, UT either seldom blitzed or the oline was so good they picked it up nearly every time. Rattler stepped up into the pocket and set his feet, and the receivers made some fantastic catches...and thats the difference in scoring a ton of points or very little points......we simply made plays that a week ago, we were dropping 3rd down passes ect....just my observation. las night reminded me of the 2010 alabama game when alshon set the tone with thee one handed sideline grab...we knew at the point the team was going to play lights out....jmo
That's a great analogy. That Bama game was never in doubt because everyone, at every position, was just so locked in. Felt the same way with UT (including my own anxiety that the wheels would fall off at any moment, but then just didn't). But this game was an anomaly, not the norm. That's not how you gauge production (or shouldn't).
It's almost like your posts weren't read, or were just skimmed looking for any comment to start whining about.
It is as if he intentionally wants to cause trouble and conflict.
I think Satterfield is the Frank Martin of the football team. Just never know from one game to the next what's going to show up.
I think satterfield can get a lot more done if the oline protects like it did saturday, seems that’s more of an oline coaching problem! Amazing rattler looks like a heisman candidate when that happens and his reciever’s catch the ball!
Same thing happened last season. Didn't you notice?
Get you head out your azz.....we're just a few weeks removed from getting totally dominated on offense by UF and Mizzou.
Maybe you think we're running a charity?
To me the most frustrating part of this is the OL, QB, WR, TE, RB all bear responsibility of not executing
The OC must give them something they can execute —- as Beamer says often says’We just need to coach better’
If some part of the puzzle ( play ) needs adjustments then the coach must do just that including the coaching part of the puzzle
It took Satterfield 11 games this year to figure it out - I don’t think he ever figured it out last year ( except maybe the bowl game)

Rattler made a lot of plays on the run. He was on a mission.
There were a lot of his targets not being covered out in open space and guys making great plays after the catch.
Give our guys credit, but the UTenn defense sucked at pass defense & tackling.
I too took his word when he told us his phone was blowing up with big names wanting to coach for him. No reason to now. I somewhat understand lying about injury reports. So... people who lie to me haven't earned my trust.
Ya know, the strange thing to me was the total difference to the offensive approach. It was like working with someone for years in a boots & gloves environment and then running into them at a wedding, seeing them dressed in a tux. It's just difficult to get a handle on what happened. I've never seen anything like it. Every single element of the offense was different.
It can take a year or 2 for players to figure out a new system, especially a complex one, and if it took this long, BUT, from here on out the offense is much better, thats fine with me!
As I said, even if we dont beat Clemson, bc tbey do have better players than us, if we are competitive and efficient on offense, thats still progress.
I draw a distinction between lying and coachspeak. Maybe I shouldn't, but I feel coaches need to say some things (and need to NOT say some things), especially during the season.
They indeed are, but Gamecocks still went out and executed excellent. Not trying to take anything away from the kids, jut have to use perspective every now and then. Hopefully the confidence carries on Saturday. I believe the first 2-3 offensive possessions are critical in keeping the confidence going for the team and more importantly Rat
I wanted him gone early, like after the Arky and uga games, By the time we got to the UF game, figured we might as well wait and let him go at the end of the season. Still feel that way but with this win against UT, it puts him in the catigory of let's see how he does with CU imo. If we win that game, I dont see how you fire him with that kind of finish... that is, if he was responsible for the turnaround. I'd need to know a little more about that.
But you cant finish up defeating two top ten teams while showing monster sized improvement on offense then fire the guy without dang good justification. Early ugly games ain't enough

Coachspeak I get. I was referring to something not coachspeak. Just a straight up lie. Didn't have to say it, wouldn't hurt him at all if he didn't. So not only did he lie, he lied when the truth would have been just fine. Am I the only one who noticed?
The phone blowing up thing is Grey area at best, but I don't think it was coachspeak.
There is a screen shot of him online with the play call sheet in his hand calling out the play in his headset in the 1st quarter.
This is not directed at you - but people spreading silly nonsense is not helpful.
To accept he didn't call the game is to accept the fact that Beamer just flat out lied to the entire fan base straight out. - likely would get him fired if a player came out with any evidence to the contrary- and that means over 100 college students have to keep silent about something they know is a lie. Not very likely.
This is silly at this point. People are creating a situation where the man can't win no matter what he does. If we play well, it's because he wasn't involved. It we play bad, it's his fault.
That's 100% not fair to anyone.

It's a small segment of our fanbase that are morons - conspiracy promoting morons.
They'd shoot themselves in the foot before they'd admit they had no damn idea what they were talking about.
I had the game on DVR. It's clear as day he's calling the plays. To not see him with the play call sheet in his hand or in the huddle talking during offensive timeouts is to be willfully and 100% purposefully ignorant.
It's like someone in Columbia claiming it was 100 degrees today.
Well Hell
I saw Beamer talking to a reporter during the game. I guess that means he was talking to the reporter and not coaching Saturday night - because I SAW it.
I would hope people are smart enough to realize what they see for a second or two on their tv is not representative of what happens for 3 hours during a game.
But maybe I am being too generous.
If you can only get your team prepared to play, and call a good game for 2 games out of 24, I'd say that isn't a strong argument for keeping your job. If he can continue this from now on then maybe so, but I'm not putting money on it. We've been down this road before.
Also, nobody seems to remember that we don't play in a vacuum. There is the other team involved. This team was UT, which is not a very good defensive team. They've won by outscoring other teams. It was a good matchup for us. We were hot on offense and they could not get pressure on the QB with their front 4.
Another difference in this game is that it looked like the light finally went off in Rattler's head, that when there is pressure from the outside, just step up into the pocket, buy a couple more seconds of time for receivers to get open, and deliver the ball. He had not done that all year and took sacks that he shouldn't have. Hopefully he will continue this from now on.
We will have a totally different situation next week. We don't match up as well against a strong clemsux defense. If the line can protect well and Rattler continues to make smart reads and step up into the pocket to throw the ball, then we have a chance at a good game.

The problem is as much execution as play calling. I know someone close to the program who just told me to go back and watch the Missouri again. The problem in that game is that we lost Lloyd who is a good pass blocker And MZ has a very good pass rush. We didn’t max protect like we did against TN and Rattler was running for his life all game. Fault Satterfield for not max protecting earlier but he didn’t until later in the game. We didn’t attack the perimeter because we thought we had Lloyd for the game. They didn’t realize how hurt he was until it was too late. Against TN, we used Adkins and Stogner as an extra blocker and often ran with just 2 or 3 receivers. Rattler had time and was wickedly in the zone with his accuracy. TN ran blitzes but they were more delayed blitzes and easy to pick up. Rattler finally got the pass out of his hand quickly and never had to worry about the rush.
The thing that worries me about Clemson is they have a much better front 7 than TN. Rattler will get pressure that he didn’t get Saturday. And Clemson runs the ball better. To win, we need to sell out to stop the run and let DJ beat us with his arm. He will throw some interceptions. On O we will have to max protect and hope Rattler can throw it into small windows to a covered receiver. Clemson will be a tougher game than TN. Sorry for the long post. My friend mentioned Missouri because the Tiger D is more like Missouri than TN. The Missouri game was a train wreck because our whole game plan was built around Lloyd running the ball. He got hurt on the first run of the second series. Satterfield didn’t adjust his game plan until it was too late. Part of me hopes Lloyd doesn’t play and we go with the same scheme we played against TN.

Well, it's a good thing for him that he's gotten his team ready for and called more than 2 good games.
Very good summation, but this line was the highlight. I want an OC that calls more than 2 good games in 2 seasons. There is still 2 more games in this year though, so he could up his average a little.
Yeah what most are saying here: this one great performance can create some frustration as much as it creates excitement and hope. It leaves you thinking "WTF?!?" about all the other games where our offense have struggled, when we can execute so well offensively against Tennessee with our top 2 RBs out. It also gives one hesitation - if the team can "turn it on" offensively so quickly for one game, then it can "turn it off" just as quickly for the next game. The game conditions for next Saturday will be totally different than they were last Saturday.
At the end of the season, we will do a review of the team's performances over the season in totality. I think we will all have considerable issues with how our offense has performed, even WITH the Tenn. game......

6 total good games of offense this year. One of them record breaking that sent shockwaves through the entire college football world.
Excellent progress considering the timeline.

I guess you could get to 6 if you counted the 3 ooc patsies and vandy as some sort of accomplishment. Not sure many would buy that.
But even with those we'd have to pretend the a&m game, withe the gift 17 points to start the game, or the Arkansas game, where we scored 14 points that would otherwise be called "garbage time" points, were actually good games.
So other than 4 gimmee games we managed one good game (stellar even).
Given that we had a 5 star rb, and a Heisman hopeful qb, I think those lack of results speak for thselves.

Gotta look at ”body of work “ ! We are 22 games in remember and never seen anything like this ,so maybe all the stars lined up Sat. Night. Have you checked out his less than mediocre resume including 6-16 as HC and zero power 5 experience ? We have to move on
Body of work is a good way to put it. We shouldn't be making decisions on what is now, a single extreme outlier.
If you are going to cry about bad performances against Vandy and OOC patsies like last year, you have to give credit when the team performs FAR better against those teams this year. Against those, absolutely undisputable improvement. Ask Florida about winning against Vandy and TAMU about OOC panties.
And I wasn't including TAMU as a good performance. Arkansas absolutely was good performance. A game we could have won if the defense didn't blow it.
And given the our 5 star RB has been gimpy for much of the season after a bad injury last season, and our pre-season Heisman hopeful lost that title long before he came here, those talking points aren't really indicative of our available talent.
The results: Yes, they speak for themselves. A record setting performance that even Spurrier himself couldn't deliver. All 2 years out from two terrible seasons.
