Nah, Solich fired guys he had worked with for years and those guys were good at their jobs.It's Solich all over again. He fired 6 to save his ***. It worked for a year. Then he was fired. Buying time and saving money. All it is.

There's no way in hell Frost will be able to hire solid replacements. They would have to expect a 1 year job than fired with Frost.
I'm still pissed about him whacking Uncle Milty. He was the best O line coach in CFB history.Nah, Solich fired guys he had worked with for years and those guys were good at their jobs.
This.. this board is bipolar, schizophrenic and paranoid all at once. Firing your friends is no fun and given that he is staying, it had to be done.Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.
I think most people simply feel Frost is the problem and this solves nothing.Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.
Because people on here are completely miserable human beings.Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.
So my worry now is, if he goes 6-6 next year will those in power say “steady improvement over 2021? If he doesn’t win all winnable games next year and 1 we shouldn’t win. OUT! Eight or out!I just don’t understand how this doesn’t end badly?
1: as mentioned, who comes here for a 1 year experiment?
2: are we changing schemes? If so do we have players to win with this new scheme in 1 year?
3: so are we a portal QB team? What type of qb do we need to run this new O?
4: suppose magic happens and frost wins 7-8 games next year? And then reverts back to his mean the following year…. We’re in same boat
5: how intact is our D next year? If the answer is “not so much” it won’t matter how good the O is
As the old saying goes, "Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic and so am I"This.. this board is bipolar, schizophrenic and paranoid all at once. Firing your friends is no fun and given that he is staying, it had to be done.
There is no doubt in my mind that you believe that.Pretty sure you can go to the main board and find a pic of my wife. I didn't settle. Plus she and I both have good jobs.
Dawson. What we don’t know is what the plan going forward is. If it is to hire a dedicate ST guy, there is no reason to fire Dawson. Let him focus on OLB. I do think we have 1 to many D coaches, but hey, I don’t know the plan.No. I don't know. Who is the ST coach? Do we even have one?
If NU does NOT hire a ST coach of high quality, then there is no plan. If there is one area screaming for huge improvement, its the Special Teams.Dawson. What we don’t know is what the plan going forward is. If it is to hire a dedicate ST guy, there is no reason to fire Dawson. Let him focus on OLB. I do think we have 1 to many D coaches, but hey, I don’t know the plan.
Why wouldn't I?There is no doubt in my mind that you believe that.
I don’t understand this reaction. I don’t care who decided. I just think it had to be done. I’ve been reading on this very Board for months how the quarterback coach needs to be fired. Austin has been getting his fair share of criticism too. I thought this would make people happy. I was surprised when Frost hired Lubick. Living here in Washington, Lubick was not very well liked by the Husky fans during his short term at U Dub. Nor did he have much success. I don’t think he showed anything during his time in Lincoln. I always thought Ryan Held was one of Frost’s best friends. His firing is the one that surprised me. I guess it shouldn’t because it seems to me that we have some very good backs that have not performed anywhere near their potential. I’ve always found the running back rotation baffling going back to the first year when it took this staff three or four games before they started using the best back at the time, Devine Ozigbo.So you really believe Scott decided today - all on his own without any conversations with Trev - to let four assistants go two weeks before the end of the season? Really???
Yes, you are correct. And how many years have posters been calling for changes? Did that just start in year four of pathetic play? No - it was already being sounded in year two. Frost observed the lack of progress from these coaches for FOUR seasons and nothing was done. Changes happened only when Frost was offered the option of the door or make changes.I don’t understand this reaction. I don’t care who decided. I just think it had to be done.

we don’t have one. Shocking, I know. But those special teams kids seem to grasp the concept of being special all on their own and don’t need any help with it.
The offense works quite well except the red zone and when the QB has to make a play under pressure. Not that hard to fix those 2 things in todays college football world.This is a shakeup......The current offense is not working
These posters are just miserable and will complain about anything.Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.
Frank Solich at Nebraska. We went from 7-7 to 10-3 the next season. Bo came in and had the defense rolling!Getting rid of your assistants has turned around so many programs that underachieve. I mean there are just so many instances that I can't come up with one name right now.
Sure I married a 3, but after seeing your 7 every Wednesday at Noon, I'm a mathematician's Dozen.On a scale of 1-10, many people strive for at least a 7 in finding a spouse, career, fill in the blank. It’s amazing how many here seem to be fine settling for a 3 - not on a scale of 10, but on a scale of 12. Let’s just say I’m glad I don’t have to see what you and others settled on in those other categories…

Milt was having a hard time getting around..Tougher for him to get on planes and recruit and he was even taking a golf cart to practice to get around..I'm still pissed about him whacking Uncle Milty. He was the best O line coach in CFB history.
The incompetence of the OL coach was underrated. The talent of the OL was overrated. Bad combo.The offense works quite well except the red zone and when the QB has to make a play under pressure. Not that hard to fix those 2 things in todays college football world.
The bigger thing to fix is the OL We may soon know if we had bad coaching or way less talent then we thought.
You serious? Damn dude, try thinking a bit harder. You really think Alberts is worried about the final two games in the grand scheme? The answer is "no".I don't see how this can be seen as anything other than to provide a built-in excuse for losing to Wisconsin and Iowa and going 3-9 again.
You can't be serious with this above statement! What kind of spin on reality is this? If SF didn't fire them, something the fan base has been saying needs to happen all season long, TA would have fired them all post season. SF saved the majority of his staff , took a pay cut along with a buyout cut to show he wants the best for this team. The problem you have is it didn't go the way you felt it should so now your all concerned for the four guys that needed to get the axe. Four guys the fanbase have been saying needs to go.This was a power play by the administration to reduce Frost's buyout substantially, in return for giving him another year.
What does Scott do? he fires the guys that really weren't responsible for his failed offensive player and roster management, to pretend he is going to make changes to get it done.
Sadly, stupid people, and there are many in the world, will see this narrative and buy it.
The reality is, neither party did anything to better Husker football. They both lined their pocketbooks, and have new narratives to sell to the fans.
I feel bad for those coaches that got let go.
Scott is a piece of garbage in my book.
The players deserve better as do the fans.
Wasn't it shared between Lubick and another coach like Held?No. I don't know. Who is the ST coach? Do we even have one?
This is it! I laugh at the narrative as a completed pass in the end zone and a couple honorable mention running backs changes it all! Yes I laugh at myself as it all is anger over a game and a football over the goal line! Qback coach, running back coach, receiving coach, offensive line coach, all were needing better results! If one doesn't notice that, then you haven't been paying attention!He made the neccesarry changes that other coaches haven't been willing to do in the past. You can't have change without changing things. Let's get behind him and see what happens
"I don't believe it's the athletic director's role to tell a coach, 'You need to fire this coach and hire that coach.' I like to ask questions. Most of it was fairly self-evident to Scott. I think he knew that certain changes had to be made. But this was Scott's plan. This is Scott's plan that he brought to me. The way these things work is that Scott brings plans to me, I bring plans to my bosses, and ultimately you try to gain some consensus. I believe in the plan that he's presented and I'm looking forward to working really hard with him and seeing if we can execute it at a high level and be successful."So you really believe Scott decided today - all on his own without any conversations with Trev - to let four assistants go two weeks before the end of the season? Really???
Not sure. But whatever they got tagged for in the off-season with the ST advisor obviously wasn't worth it. Lol. We can't even cheat right to our advantage.Wasn't it shared between Lubick and another coach like Held?
Special teams wasn't bad. The specialists were not good.Not sure. But whatever they got tagged for in the off-season with the ST advisor obviously wasn't worth it. Lol. We can't even cheat right to our advantage.
It was Dawson who coaches the LB's along with Barret Ruud.Wasn't it shared between Lubick and another coach like Held?
Wtf? Special teams was a clown show. All facets.Special teams wasn't bad. The specialists were not good.
