Frost is our best and last chance to return to national prominence. You can't win with the same formula everywhere. That has been proven time and again with coaches who did great at one school but failed miserably at another.
We needed to hire someone who was here and an integral part of the program when we were great and who also has an intimate understanding of what it took to maintain it. There are two head coaches that fit that bill: Turner Gill and Scott Frost. Although I think Turner is a good man and coach, I don't think many would argue that he has the "it" factor that is needed to return the program to what it once was. Frost is a young head coach and has taken plenty of lumps this first year, but I still see that "it" factor every time he has a press conference. I hear in his voice that he has an unwavering confidence in what he is trying to do and where it will take us. He believes in what he is doing and will not give up until he gets it right. Most importantly, he truly loves his players and is going to do everything he can to help make them successful on the field and in life.
Obviously, this has been a rough year and mistakes have been made. We need to remember that he inherited a program that was at an all time low. Every coach since TO has left the program in worse shape in one way or another than his predecessor, culminating in the worst HC in program history whose milquetoast approach made us the softest team in the entire country last year, BAR NONE.
I'm not saying that Frost is above being criticized. However, justified criticism tempered with patience for the process is much different than unhinged rants that he's a horrible coach, that our DC should be fired, that our true freshman QB who didn't play his senior year of HS and who is on pace to be in the top 5 of total offense per game in program history is terrible, and many more asinine posts that have been made on this board.
If you truly want to see our program return to prominence, stop with the ridiculous tirades that do absolutely no one any good and be supportive of this process. Again, not saying one can't be critical, but let's not be hysterical. Just because Frost loves NU and this state doesn't mean that he'll put up with over-the-top ridiculousness forever. Remember, we almost lost TO to CU, and that was well before the days of these internet message boards.
I have great confidence that Frost will return us to national relevance, but the bottom line is that he is our last link to our glorious past and I believe that if he doesn't succeed the golden years of Husker football will be gone forever. If he does succeed, he can restart the machine that we once were and produce the next generation of coaches that will be able to carry on the flame when he is done. For that reason we should all give him as much time, support, and positive energy as we can to get this right.
