Do players quit on Frost

[Ewooc]

As bad as this year had been. I feel like most players have at least been playing hard till the end. I haven't seen quit in this team.
After a loss like today, where we should have won. It has to be emotionally draining. Some of the blame seems to be falling on the coaches. Do you see more players starting to ''quit" similar to what we saw last year? Or do you think most stay the course and trust Frost.

I think next week will be a very telling game as to where this team is at emotionally.

I'm sure a lot of players are going to watch the tape and realize this one is on the coaches. Stupid decisions and very little adjustments. Leaving William's out there to get torched makes me scratch me head.

 

[Headcard]

I don’t see why they would they haven’t yet, in fact they have played better each week.

Frost looked a little embarrassed in the post-game pressor, I think he should now realize, he's not as good as his press clippings right now.

Most great coaches are humbled to the point where personnel become a big issue, look at how Saban turns to the freshman Qb last year at halftime of the National Championship game.

Schemes need to make sense on both sides of the ball. Winning teams make plays when it counts. They typically let their offense win the game when they know the defense is getting torched through the air.

At this point, unlike all the negativity surrounding this board and the state from a football perspective, it's easy to just check out on this season and hope for a recruiting class that can get us back to .500 football. There are so many other teams playing great football, it's just easier and more enjoyable to watch than seeing Nebraska play bad football and embarrassing themselves every week.

I think those that left essentially quit.

Those that are on board haven’t and won’t. We have a young/motivated staff that will continue to light a fire in them every week (Unlike Riley).

Our players better keep playing hard A) because it’s the right thing to do for one another B) to have any shot at being coaches in the future, etc.

I don’t see a team that quits, I just see a team that is missing key players at every position. We have some ballers but not enough. If our safeties screw up, who do we put in there?

Our coaches are also learning. I’m a bit confused about Frost’s strategy. In Colorado we played fast pace when we should have slowed it down and today vice versa.

I think today took a lot from our team. So much that I don’t think we’ll beat Minnesota. Probably looking at a 2 win season with a possible win agsinst MSU.

Another splendid situation is our bye week. We don't have one. Every team needs a real bye week to get away from the game and rest up banged up bodies.

So I would still expect Nebraska to beat Bethune, but if for some reason we don't, a 0 win season is a distinct possibility.

Exactly. Riley was too much of a candy *** to come down hard on players to make the quitters transfer.

 

[F5Tornado]

I didn't see any quit in the team today, but I saw 4th quarter blunders by the coaches and players, that flat out needs to get fixed before the end of the season, not wait until next year.

Michigan st beat penn st

And lost to NW. it seems like everyone can beat everyone in the B1G this year, except us, we just refuse to win.

 

[bigboxes]

And lost to NW. it seems like everyone can beat everyone in the B1G this year, except us, we just refuse to win.

That sounds like an apologist. We are the bottom feeder for the Big Ten. We shouldn't have lost every game this year. This is on the staff.

That is about as true as it gets.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Can someone tell me why Iowa always plays sound defense, and yet the DCs that played at Iowa that have come to Nebraska are a complete and utter **** show??? I think someone needs to investigate if they are in reality on Iowa's payroll.

 

[Husker4real_rivals373787]

Maybe worse than that. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if some were deliberately undermining the team. No one can be this bad without trying to be this bad.

OK whatever. Not sure how you get anything remotely like that from what I wrote.

I think we will see more attrition this week. Players like McQuitty can’t be happy. I’m wondering if there’s feuding amongst the coaches yet.

I would be surprised if the cosches were feuding, they seem pretty close.

Not sure, the staff seems pretty tight. Although I doubt any have been in this situation before. It has to be stressful.

If blunders by players are still happening in the sixth game, I highly doubt that they’ll be fixed by the end of the year.

 

[Buicklife]

It was obvious after Purdue this was a 1-2 win season. Who cares, 5-7 2-10 both equal irrelevant. Hell 9-3 in the B1G West equals irrelevant.

 

[Ewooc]

I would agree. At this point, after today. I just don't see how things really turn around much. I think what we see is what we get. At this point I think we need to get a win against Bethune for sure. Play close at least with Iowa and Mich St. Maybe get a 2nd win against Illinois and that is about as best as we get.
Then this staff need to go out the day after the season ends and recruit their asses off. #1 priority is an O line, #2 D line, 3rd DBs.

 

[leodisflowers]

For ***** sake. It’s year 1. It’s a bad year, but chill out. He has to revamp 2 lines before we will ever do anything.

 

[Harry Caray]

For ****s sake. It’s year 1. It’s a bad year, but chill out. He has to revamp 2 lines before we will ever do anything.

Purdue's coach took over a much bigger mess than Frost, and had them in a bowl game in Year 1. We are off to our worst start in 129 years of football.

It matters for recruiting. Even a 5-7 season you could sell as an improvement over last season and moving in the right direction. It's hard to convince top recruits to come here after a 1 or 2 win season.

I agree my friend. Hang in there. I’m a full bag of mixed emotions.

100% correct. You're priorities is my take also. God help us......how to massively improve our OLine to "average" might take a miracle.

 

[Hoosker Du]

I don't necessarily agree with this, because I think offenses and defenses can evolve throughout the entire first year, and even beyond, but I don't have much faith in our defensive staff to see much improvement at this point. I can see our offense continuing to improve though.

 

[F5Tornado]

Hopefully some mistakes can at least be lessened, but you're right, they probably won't.

Are you speaking from your experience as a recruiter or coach?

 

[Husker4real_rivals373787]

There are probably many players on the team that are just going through the motions. Many of them may be far enough along in their academics that transferring doesn't make sense. Maybe they like access to the training table or the Adidas swag...Or maybe they have girlfriends or other ties that make Nebraska the best overall option at this point. But they came to play for Bo or Riley, not Frost. So it's entirely possible that some players on the team are able to do just enough to maintain their spot on the roster, but aren't fully engaged. In that mindset, you'll perform when it's convenient. It's not always convenient on the football field.

Truth be told, Chinander didn't really play. He was on the team. Diaco did play on some of Frys most subpar teams, he made a bunch of tackles as LBs should in Iowa's old 5-2 scheme, but usually not until RB were 3-4 yds behind the line of scrimmage. When a slow undersized LB plays and makes a bunch of tackles, the team usually isn't very good. That was Iowa during the Diaco days.

No.

I don't think that will happen. As Nebraska football and basketball fans, we are well versed in teams quitting. But many teams do actually improve as the year goes on.

The players aren't stupid. They know that they have lost some close ones. They are being "out statted" by only five yards a game. If they could eliminate the careless mistakes, they could be an above average football team in the second half of the season.

That's the first thing regarding culture that I want to see gone. That quitters mentality has to go and so far I think it has.

Now it may get harder if they don't win soon but I'm encouraged with how they aren't quitting and continue to play hard.

They need to learn how to finish .They need to play cleaner football. They also need to stop the stupid mental errors. But it's a process.
