Tristan Gebbia

[big red23]

This is just my opinion, but he is the perfect example of where this teams mind set is. At the first sign of adversity, he took his bike and went home. That is the easy way out, and a lot of these kids that are playing right now have his same mindset.

That is what Frost is dealing with and until these prima donna kids are off of this team, we are going to get the same results. I won't name name's, but you can see the kids that aren't playing hard.

Some people I was watching the game with were saying we looked like a high school team out there. I said no we are like a bunch of grade school kids that do nothing unless they get the damn ball. Blocking was non existent on Saturday and it definitely was not just the OL.

It was start or bust for him, and he packed it up and moved on when the start didn't come his way.

We all knew he would leave, but he would have had two starts under his belt if he would have stayed. The moral of the story is he quit on this team, and it seems like there are a lot of others with that mentality

 

[dollerroller]

Anyone that leaves because they are #2 behind an injury prone true freshman is an idiot. You're almost guaranteed to start at some point.

 

[Spartanhusker]

uh oh....you will be told it was a 'business' decision...

 

[Headcard]

If he had stayed, he would be in a full body cast after our trip to Ann Arbor

 

[Lincoln100]

who gives two sh!ts about Gebbia. Yup, this team can't block to save its life.

 

[RealTucoSalamanca]

But but but Bunch was better anyway.

It's amazing how many times a "business decision" ends up being the wrong decision.

Like taking the Nebraska job with a 7 year deal over the Florida job with a 4 or 5 year deal?

Like taking the Nebraska job with a 7 year deal over the Florida job with a 4 or 5 year deal?

So is it a coaching problem or a talent problem?

 

[RealTucoSalamanca]

I was talking about when business decisions turn out bad.

 

[Sinomatic]

The better shepherd stays with the sheep.

It doesn't matter if you're the LeBron James of shepherds. Your sheep will die if you don't protect them. That makes you a bad shepherd.

I'd rather have the guy that doesn't quit my flock.

 

[nudan92]

I was talking about when business decisions turn out bad.

So you're saying that three games in Scott Frost has made a poor business decision?

 

[xxUNRIVALEDxx]

Your answer seems to point towards talent problem.

 

[RealTucoSalamanca]

I don't know. Are you sure Gebbia made a poor business decision? Some on here think he was third string, but some how if he had stayed at Nebraska, we would have won some games.

As far as Frost's decision goes, I would bet that of the top 20 coaches in America, Scott Frost is the only one that makes the decision to go to Nebraska over Florida.

My post has nothing to do with if Gebbia would of won us ball games or not. My OP was about how there are plenty more on this team with the same attitude as him

People need to be patient and control their emotions and be damned glad he was willing to take the NU job.

That is because it wasn't a business decision. He didn't do it because he wanted a ton of money. He could have gotten a ton of money almost anywhere he wanted. It was a personal decision. It was him wanting to fix this thing and return Nebraska to the top because he cares about the program, not on a business level, but a personal level.

 

[TheBeav815]

Just one of a few things this staff thought they knew about their team as of fall camp..."Even if we don't name Tristan at least Co-#1 he won't transfer. He's all team and no me." WHOOPS.

You can make the case for 2-1 Nebraska looking at getting bowl eligible if he's here. But we don't have to beat that dead horse, opposing defenses will do it for us. Saw a stat that NU has given up a 0-77 deficit to open the first 3 games.

But yeah, tell me again Bunch is good enough or there's no talent deficit on this team. You got to watch Top 10 recruits vs what's left of #25-ish classes that have their top guys quit the team on Saturday. Run through those 2014-17 classes and ask yourself who is still on this team and who replaced them.

I don't know who the limiting reagent is with regard to how much offense they're able to call, but they look like a team that hasn't surprised any defensive coordinators since their first game. We were warned, year one UCF was pretty vanilla on offense. Sounded for all the world like Troy had them diagnosed. Michigan's front 7 absolutely abused our OL so who knows how much Michigan had them figured out and how much NU was just overmatched.

He was a highly recruited starter. He wasn't goyng to be a backup in a offense he wasn't recruited for.

Get over it

 

[bigboxes]

No no no. I saw the spring game. Bunch was wayyyyy better. Our offense was unstoppable. Not sure what the problem is.

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

But he might have had a lot of hotties sign his cast!

It's his job, of course it was a business decision. He may have made the decision based on some personal tugs, but rest assured it was a business decision. He knew that he would be given time here that he wouldn't have been given in Gainesville. You can bet your sweet *** that factored into the equation.

Those players are?

 

[artguy68]

Tired of reading and hearing about prima donna players who are not buying in, who are giving up, etc, and yet nobody gives a single name. If it is so obvious that this is happening, you should be able to name at least one problem player. My guess is that all these clueless conjecturers are simply waiting for a player to play poorly or transfer, and then they will act like they knew it all along. Just like they did with Gebbia.

I love Frost and think he will win eventually but he blew this one and it set back the team a year. He should have started Gebbia if it was close and made the switcheroo after 3-4 games. Look at what Dabo did today - he named his five star Freshman the new starter. Probably knew that’s what he wanted all along but this way keeps Bryant in the fold. People say they respect honesty but reality is Gebbia departure broke the karma and derailed the season. Saban and Dabo play chess.....

I think Gebbia made a selfish decision that sucked for the Nebraska football team. Time will tell if it was a good business decision or not. He’s a pretty crappy teammate though.

No way. AM beat Gebbia out and that's all there is to it.

 

[knightwxc5000]

Frost left UCF after two years = Frost is an amazing human being.
Gebbia leaves NU after a year and a half = He quit on his team, is a p.o.s. and will never amount to anything.

Let's face it, people are only mad at Gebbia because Gebbia's decision didn't help Nebraska and the exact oppose it true about Frost. They both did what was in THEIR best interest. I don't hold it against anybody for improving their situation.

I’m not sure either one (Frost or Gebbia) improved their situation.

JUST KIDDING, JUST KIDDING!

If Frost had left UCF five days before the first game you’d have a point. Gebbia stole practice time from the other QBs. He’s a bad teammate and selfish person. That seems to be the norm with college kids today though and I guess The answer most people here seem to have is to lie to the players like Nick Saban or Dabo Sweeney to get them to stay.

 

[EatsBugs]

Gebbia made the right decision. He wouldn't sniff the field the next 4 yrs as long as Martinez was healthy.

Now he has the chance to start 35 games for OSU. No brainer.

 

[oldjar07]

It's his job, of course it was a business decision. He may have made the decision based on some personal tugs, but rest assured it was a business decision. He knew that he would be given time here that he wouldn't have been given in Gainesville. You can bet your sweet *** that factored into the equation.

So the only reason he came here is so he could dupe the fan base into giving him all the time and resources he wanted? All the talk he gave the fan base and his own players about trying to get the program back to what made it great was all a bunch of BS to fit his personal agenda?

Like was already said, he was going to get paid no matter where he went. What drew him to Nebraska is the personal connections he had here along with the chance to lead the program he won a national title for back to where it should be.

 

[Huskerjag]

Big time quarterback recruits don’t sit the bench when they get beat out by underclassmen? They transfer someplace where they can start?

Hmmm, I did not see that coming.

Leaving NU six days before the opening game is ok? And leaving NU for horrible, forever losing Beaver machine?

That's a "no brainer"???

And he’s assured to “sniff the field” at OSU?

Frost left during the season. Gebbia left before the season started. Which one is worse?

You’re ability to read what I wrote and twist it into something completely different is uncanny. I never once used the word duped.

He made a business decision to come to Nebraska. Yes coming home factored in, as did building the program back to past levels factored in, but so did the relationship with Coach Osborne and the fact that he was going to get adequate time here that he wouldn’t necessarily elsewhere.

If you are going to get paid regardless of company, you go where you feel most comfortable, with the best chance for long term stability. That is the textbook definition of business decision.

As for Gebbia, he left a place where he was guaranteed to not be the starter and went to a place where at least he has a shot to win the job.

Yes the timing sucked, but he took advantage of rules that were in place. That isn’t his problem.

 

[Sporty]

And Tuco, if there had been a good QB that wanted to transfer to Neb the day after Gebbia left nobody would have accepted him because of what he was doing to his former team! Right???
