I do happen to know more than several on this board. I been here since it existed so you figure the years.
And what good does it do to pump sunshine when that isn't reality? Feel free to research my approach on this board. I'm not going to toot my own horn but I don't think you'll find me on the fringe of either positive or negative. I do think a FEW posters beat the drum of negativity incessantly and it gets old. But what do you expect? Niko Cooper makes zero difference by himself, but if you deny there is a disturbing trend you're not being remotely honest about the situation.
State of the whole department is pretty sad right now. We have an elite VB program and Wrestling is doing well but then it drops off fast. I’m optimistic towards baseball but football and basketball are beyond frustrating right now. Most frustrating is that the flagship sport seems to be the furthest away. Oh well, will continue to hope for progress. What else can we do?
My guess is the kid would have stayed if all the seniors who would have graduated in a regular season were not coming back. He's a JOCO and didn't want to be lost on the depth chart for another year. It probably has nothing (or very little) to do with Frost's record as coach.
Not sure what you mean by sunshine? I guess I am not the guy who comes on here and predicts anything until there is adequate time.
Comparing Frost to TO is asinine and incredibly stupid. Frost makes mistakes repeatedly.
exactly. the free year worked out well for some and terrible for others. it doesn't help that NEB signed more players the last 3 years than any program in the league. Frost has actually done an unbelievable job of continuing to attract recruits despite more freshmen and sophs than any team in the league. but eventually the big numbers will work itself out as Cooper and others find out they aren't needed.
That was uncalled for.For those of you who became a fan say, around 2003, to you the Pelini years will be the GOLDEN years for Nebraska football.
He did good things on special teams? Like what, made a tackle or two? We need to stop being mad when kids that are incapable of cracking the 3 deep want to leave.
Where did I say I was mad? Yes he made a few nice tackles on special teams where he showed more athletic ability than just about anyone else on the roster. I would have liked to at least seen what he could do on the defensive side of the ball, but he never got much of an opportunity. Forgive me if I don't trust the staff's decision making when they think Tannor's a great player who should never come off the field.
I just fill you in. He wasn't cutting it. He wasn't ready for D1. Hopefully he transfers to a smaller school where he can play.
Who said I'm comparing Frost to Osborne?
Just like it was uncalled for when you threw that steak at Napoleon! That was a perfectly good steak.
In my lifetime, Husker fans have wanted to fire every coach. I was born the year after Devaney got the gig. Bob had a couple of soft years and there were rumblings. Before Bob showed up, the team had losing seasons most years after the War.
No offense man but what’s your background that you have the ability to make that sort of assessment that he had “more athletic ability than just about anyone on the roster?” How do we know the reason he didn’t see the field is because he was dumb? People forget that you can’t put a kid on the field if you don’t trust him to be in the right spots. For all we know he never cracked the three deep because when they gave him reps in practice he could never execute his assignments. This idea that dudes sitting on their couch that haven’t played a sport past peewee tee ball know personnel decisions better than frost and his staff drives me nuts.
Coaches don't know everything. Heck even in professional sports where everyone knows the career trajectories and capabilities of each player, coaches make bad personnel decisions all the time. Considering you can't even trust these coaches to teach basic fundamental concepts and the incompetence we see on gamedays, no I'm not going to assume that the staff is making perfect personnel decisions. Now with regards to Cooper, all I said is he flashed a lot of athletic ability during his play on special teams that we haven't seen a whole lot of on this team. Is there something else that's preventing him from getting significant playing time on defense? There probably is, but I'd at least like to see a guy with that kind of athletic ability get a shot to see the field more. Especially when the guy who's supposedly in front of him makes a ton of mental errors himself and doesn't even appear to have the physical ability to play against Big 10 competition.
stop being so negative
Tom was having winning seasons. Frost is not, and it was You who compared them in post #47.
Nope. Did not compare the two. Just simply stated the same idiots wanted Osborne gone too.
Spartan, this does not get fixed for years. It's going to take patience, dedication and a fan who can be tough. One who can hang thru the ups and downs. One who is Husker Red thru and thru.
Years? Are you saying that Frost should be the head coach for years to come regardless of whether he has winning season? If your definition of “years” is two more years, maybe that makes sense. But more than two would be ridiculous.
I'll admit that at times he made some great plays and at times he disappeared on ST. Which is still more than you can say about most of the guys who played on ST. Still think Cooper should have gotten more PT on defense. Considering Tannor was a complete liability anyway, I would have liked to see someone else at least get a look.
You're wrong. Total lie false hope statement not even remotely true. What a joke.
