These hires will be crucial. Does he have a true CEO mentality that can spot talent, or does he look for the familiar?
just as we can't predict success with these moves, you can't predict failure either. We've removed the coaches of underperforming position groups. We've got a couple of positions to fix and new guys are going to get a chance to do it. The chances IMO of an immediate turn around with the changes are probably just as good as the chances of a turn around with a whole new staff. Maybe better because the defense is already sound. IF you throw everybody out you're starting all over and you would have at least 1-2 years of learning new systems.
Or maybe 40% think there is more than only one way to try to succeed?
Why would you want this person as your head coach then? “Hey, you provide no real benefit whatsoever! Be our head coach, we’ll pay you millions, but please dont do any coaching!” Yeah thats a much better plan than trying to find a good coach.
Just reviewed the 2022 schedule, yea Frost is gone. I see 2 pretty sure wins, North DaKota and Georgia Southern after that it looks like Frost gets fired. Why should anyone think we can beat Rutgers, Indiana, Illinois , Purdue. If it wasn’t for the money Frost would have already been fired.
Great move by ADTA for so many reasons. Could Frost suck again, sure but then Trev can get his own guy and rally most of Husker nation behind it etc. moving forward.
2024 is brutal. Whoever is HC is going to have a rough go of it to start things out
The areas he is responsible for and that he can influence are being neglected and under-managed.
well barry just simply implemented NU run game at wisconsin and logicly, naturally the wins just came.
One thing for sure is if it doesn’t get better under Frost…he gone! He has been served.
He has a special teams coach, moron. Dawson has been a special teams coordinator before and helped with special teams when he was in the NFL. Dawson is in charge of coverages and protections on special teams. What he needs is to recruit better kickers.

It cracks me up when the CEO referenced is used. Not a dig at you. It’s how the position is described. However, Frost exhibits essentially zero characteristics or demeanor of any CEO in any industry, of any gender.
A run game, not NU’s. Wasn’t much option from Darrel Bevell, Bollinger, Stocke, and every other wisky QB of the past gazillion years
I've been exposed to quite a few leaders at various levels who micro manage some aspects of the organization while totally ignoring other, important parts. These types are generally frazzled, stressed and feel misunderstood. If I thought about it real hard, I could probably remember one or two that learned to step back, look at the big picture and acquire quality people who were allowed to do their jobs. But that was rare, meddlers are going to meddle. Those people were usually removed from their leadership positions and put on something they could work on by themselves.
I think the use of CEO was just a convenient term and not necessarily a good one to describe what they hope to happen with the new assistants. Clearly they want somebody to come in and take charge of the offense so that Frost isn't spending all of his time there. Maybe that gives him more time to dedicate to special teams. There is no way in hell he isn't going to be involved with the offense nor should he ignore it. Hopefully he can hire an experienced OC who can take the job and run with it but damn man some of the things Frost has done with the offense have been pretty innovative. I still don't think the offense is the problem. Our O line, inconsistent QB play and at times a few play calls have been the problems IMO.
Pick any from this thread. How about the one referencing a full time special teams coach? Dawson has done a great job? Frost is an idiot and you’re an idiot if you are so blind to follow an idiot.
Blind following the blind. On the plus side, our idiot head coach has lived in several towns in Nebraska. Wake up pal
And you are an idiot if you still haven’t seen the full quote and are getting pissy over Sam M’s tweet. But don’t let facts keep you from getting your panties in a wad.
I think you may be right about the offense. There are SO MANY plays that are designed just fine but for whatever reason, they aren't executed. I'm talking about receivers open early, but 2AM taking forever to drop back and make a decision, missed wide open receivers, the wrong decision on zone reads, running backs not taking what is given, lineman whiffing when that block would have spring a big play, backs stumbling, poorly-thrown balls that disrupt swing pass plays, etc, It is obvious enough on TV but watching the game live it is mind-numbing seeing what is supposed to happen but doesn't.
