Agreed. I mean seriously? 5 years? Yet Pelini left a great culture while tearing down everything on the way out. Riley being fired was the right move, but people were essentially finished with him after week 2, year 2. So spare me. If Frost by chance is 4-8 in year 3, he better have the same criticisms.More excuses before Frost is named.
Stats please. Don’t get me wrong, I thought he was a flaming A-hole. But he had defensive success at Oklahoma and LSU. Coach Osborne saw something, otherwise he wouldn’t have hired him. He also developed talent, many of whom played in the NFL; Suh (remember, Suh was a no show under the Callahan regime), Prince, Maliek Collins, David, Zaire Anderson, Will Compton, and others. It’s easy to totally dismiss Bo nowadays, but we would perhaps be better served to learn from what he was bad at versus what he did well. This year, we didn’t have even one defensive player make honorable mention.
Yes, we have no talented upperclassmen this last year. All of our talented players are very green, which bodes well for Frost.
Of course we should win the national championship next year because Riles did such a great job.More excuses before Frost is named.
Well yes Lamar is quite talented, hence the reason he was rated as the #1 Safety in the country his SR yr. Yes he ahs underachieved but there is no doubting his athletic ability. His potential has not been tapped yet but besides him there is lots of young talent like Gebbia, Lyndsey, Spielman, POB, Jameis, Bootle, Bryant, Farniok, the Davis Twins, D Thomas, G Thomas, Domann, Raridon, Stille, Decker, Roberts, Watts, Bradley, Miller, McQuitty..... the cupboard is not empty. Lots of young but potential difference makers. I don't think anyone would be surprised if any of the 21 players I listed above made an NFL paycheck. Yes, the roster has some holes in it but lots of young weapons to work with.
well technically Bob Devaney did it pretty quick went 9-2 first year and 10 wins his second - he won the Big8 4 years in a row starting with his second year
Yes, we are so very well stocked with young talent because Riles was a tremendous recruiter.
If they would close the gender neutral bathrooms in the locker room and toughen up a bit it can happen pretty quick. Once there is a tipping point of training - buyin- talent - and results on the field the fuse is lit and it can go up pretty fast
If that happens again fans would be fine with it - I know I would be happy winning the conference 4 years in a row - the next two years would suck but not like the coach had not proven himself
expectations are well in check for our fan base, many had given up. Frost is a big shot in the arm but its not like everyone is expecting big things to happen right away. In fact I would tend to argue the expectations may be a bit low right now if anything. But even then I think people are going to be very very patient with Frost
Current culture, smoking pot is okay, migranes get you out of circuit drills, up downs are for fun only. Mistakes in game dont cost you your starting position as long as you show up for practice and film room and pretend to be doing something, just draw some calvin and hobbs comics
I would wager that fan's expectation of all the major men's sports are very low.
I know right? It's like they have been somewhere else this whole time, all of a sudden showing up. I suspect it has nothing to do with the excitement surrounding Scott Frost.
