I know we are a basketball school...you guys need to accept that you are not a football school and haven’t been for a very long time.

I think you got 1 out of 3 right. Has nothing to do with being snakebit.
Frost was the hot commodity and based on his comments no doubt bought in to his own hype and it has effected his tenure at Nebraska. Newsflash Frost, you don’t have the goods. You aren’t special. You aren’t going to win many games rolling out 3 walk ons at WR just because you believe your swing passes are special.
If we cheated and paid players we could no doubt become a football program again. Even with Frost being a simple jack at OC.
I am not sure if Frost is the answer, but neither is a coaching carrousel. If there’s a type of coach I’d like Nebraska to stick with, it’s someone who wants to be here. There’s something to program consistency that Nebraska hasn’t had much in 20 years.
Hindsight is 20/20, if it's true Joe burrow wanted to come here and we didn't take him, what a whiff. Obviously Burrows decision was brilliant and has paid off beautifully.
Callahan would have brought in anyone he thought could get the job done.
Frost went all-in with 2AM and it has not worked out. He's struggling because he doesn't have the right quarterback to run his offense. It's always a gamble.

If we are talking Wandale....why the F would he have went to Kentucky? He had way better options than Kentucky and Nebraska.
Hard to say, just know he is one of the poorest performing coaches in the nation.* snakebit?

IMO Frost's major mistake at Nebraska is that he was dazzled by Adrian's freshman season and now has hung on too long with Martinez thinking the QB would make a comeback and revert to freshman form. Apparently the freshman season was a fluke.
Could be right. IMO it’s three options,he is either crazy committed to Adrian and will not back down from it. Or AM is just better than Luke and Frost knows more than we do. However it is possible that AM is a better QB than Luke but Luke makes us a better team. I’m hoping for this option.
Frost has surrounded Martinez with poor talent and even shittier coaching. Frost should look in the mirror because he is by far our biggest issue.
Color me shocked if Luke can come in and light the world on fire having to battle Frost’s ineptitude and a WR core that wouldn’t cut it at Northwest Missouri St
I’m just puzzled that everyone game the frost has coached the team is either not prepared mentally and especially is down right flat after halftime, may the younger players can change that but today was brutal the team was almost a mirror image of last year’s Minnesota game. In play calling does frost second guess himself.? the play calling is like throwing darts and see which one works, it doesn’t help that Adrian couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with the doors closed
He's recruited good for a sorry *** losing program. How many 4 stars have left or not panned out ?
I don't agree that the team is devoid of talent. BUT it takes a QB to take advantage of that talent and that's our problem.
Yeah and they just kept working. I think Ohio State lost interest after halftime, which is probably Day's biggest challenge this season.
But maybe it's Lubick who's responsible for this mess of a passing game.

I think Scott is trying to play in the shadow of TO, who of course is watching.
If he had this same opportunity somewhere else, he might be much further along.
It's as if he has 'ghosts here' and it interferes with his ability to see things clearly.
His stubbornness can be a strength, but also clearly is his weakness.
Nebraska's brand has deteriorated quickly the last 3 years.
That should be a big problem.

I hate to be the one to tell you but Nebraska’s “brand” deteriorated much longer than 3 years ago.
Scott makes the calls. And if it were Lubick then why doesn’t Scott step in and change it? It’s the same **** show and it’s coming from Frost.

He's a coach who the Husker people loved and wanted because he was a former Husker legend player during a legendary era.
This got in the way of the fact there were many reasons for the undefeated season at Central Florida before leaving for Nebraska that Frost may have been falsely given credit for; or his total tenure at Central Florida. Looks now like he simply inherited a right time/right place situation in Orlando that made him look far better than he really was as a HC.
At a minimum, he's struggling to adjust to one of the best Power 5 conferences in all of football as a HC. He's proven he was never the Golden Boy to walk right into Lincoln and instantly make the program a title contender-- something I still say half the Husker fan base EXPECTED him to do.
In many regards, Frost and Jim Harbaugh at Michigan walked into situations where it was always going to be hard to meet expectations even if they did have a lot of success.
Can he still make it happen in Lincoln? Sure. Will he? What once seemed a certainty is now looking at best as a "maybe". If Nebraska is ever going to be a strong consistent program again they need to hire a guy and ride with him. Frost is now the 5th HC there since Osborne-- and the 4th HC at Nebraska in the last 15 years. You will never find stability or maintain it with that sort of revolving door. This "instant win at all cost" mentality so many Husker fans have adapted is blowing up in your face- it's bringing more instability than it is stability and results. I don't blame the ADs that have been there (you've had a roller coaster of them too recently) because they are only responding to the fan's over reactions.
Yes, I'm an outside in all this and that's where my thoughts come from, but if you give it any serious thought, I think my assessment is pretty accurate.

I think most fans Expected him to field a team better than this, show more progress and be more sound. Most fans were aware that it was a 3 to 4 year build but here we are in year three and its barely better than year one so far. I would guess that most fans are like me , I don't want to hear any more coach talk or excuses....we need some positives and results.
frost just needs to make calls to his players strengths, namely martinez can run and not pass, luke can pass, mills can run and wandel can do alot of things. and our tight ends are tight ends not wide receivers. don't pass in heavy traffic. and recruit wide receivers. I would have liked to seen a lil more blitzing out there too, to rattle their qb..although northwestern always seem to have the same qb, smart, doesn't kill themselves.
maybe run the triple option with martinez, wandel and mills..it would be a better shot then him passing.
and someone needs to make sure farmer is driving an italian car

Loyalty seems to be a problem for some guys. I think it's a trait of honest Midwestern folks including me, but it can be a big roadblock to success in a competitive world. How often do the best college programs fire underperforming assistant coaches. Answer: a lot. How often do they replace underperforming players on the field. Answer is again: a lot. When guys just don't seem to be improving in the third year it's time to make a change. You also have to look at ceilings and potential. Is AM as good as we can expect him to be? It's starting to look that way. I was very excited about AM after his freshman season, disappointed last year, and this year is looking more like his sophomore year than freshman year. Could the receivers be better? Absolutely. But the blocking is better this year too.* snakebit?

Have we seen enough of McCaffrey to determine his potential? No.
To me, QB is the biggest problem. Martinez threw some good passes but many more bad ones, especially in the red zone.
The brain trust logic is that if the QB can't pass you might as well have the walk on WR's on the field. That way at least the talented WR's won't get hurt while trying to stretch out for an errant pass because they'll be sitting safe on the bench. Winking
I see more upside with Luke McCaffrey. More than just a spark. Better passer, Quicker Reads, More decisive than AM. Should be starting going forward imo.
