Rooting against Frost
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker_rivals246774
- Start date
When we were tied going into the 4th I wasn't rooting for them to lose but I didn't care anymore. I'm looking at the schedule and there are absolutely no guaranteed wins on it. Can't say I ever said that after game 2
Week 1 of the off-season and the hype train is right back on schedule
love it!!
frost should be calling all plays on offense, defense and special teams from here on out!! Just need to gel! LFGBR!!!

We are so pathetic, I couldn’t really even watch the second half, it was too boring and inconsequential….
How’s that for the state of the program?
Non “blue blood”, no history non football schools don’t even keep coaches after three straight losing years and here we are in year 5 squeezing by a 1AA school.
We don’t need to root for us to lose, Frost has that down pat.

I think the overwhelming majority want Frost to succeed (especially when he first came here). But the only one can do this is Frost and time is running out. Beat up the teams you’re supposed to. Get the team inspired to win a game that nobody thinks we can win!
And that has been the frustration for me. He can never get this team to rise to the occasion especially during close games against good competition. Time and again, we look sloppy, make stupid mistakes, and fold when the game is on the line.
That tells me he is failing during practice. It’s the tiny details that aren’t being done. That is on Frost and that is what will get him fired. ‘Fans’ rooting for him and the team to lose so he’ll get fired is a really dumb thing to do as a fan. If he does get fired, it will be because of things that happened out our control.

Repetitive disappointment produces negative expectancy.
It’s not anyones opinion that the guy is a failing coach, it’s a Numerical Fact!
Yet, there are some who continue to put the livelihood of 1 individual above the good of the entire program.
I have no personal issue with Frost, but I do have an issue with 16-30. No matter who the coach is.
We’ve given this guy every chance and the reality is that if he could do the job, he would of done it already.
Are we bad fans for feeling this way and expecting more?

Exactly, I'm not rooting for them to lose, but just don't care anymore what happens, win or lose. Most of the team doesn't seem to give a **** either, why should I?
Seriously? Hype train? I clearly said Frost is a bad coach who is most likely going to be fired. Wow! What hype! Do you have reading comprehension issues? The very clear point of my post was that I don’t think we should be hoping for Nebraska to lose just so Frost can get fired. My point was about hoping we win, despite our feelings for Frost. If you want to call that hype you are free to do so. But you would be wrong.
I'm just gonna sit back and let things play out. Once we get into the heart of October we'll probably know. In Trev I trust.
I never called anyone a bad fan. And you, like so many others, seem to have reading comprehension issues. My OP was clearly NOT a pro Frost statement nor a condemnation of anyone who criticizes him. I began the post by stating clearly that I have been as critical of him as anyone. Nor am I criticizing those who think he is a failed coach. Because I too think he is a failed coach. For the last time … read my lips… my one and only point was that we should not be rooting for us to lose just to get rid of Frost. We should still be rooting for us to win every damn game.
I never liked Jerry Kill. Not for a minute. I knew his high watermark was slightly above average. And I definitely wanted Claeys fired immediately...it was embarrassing seeing him try to recruit. And I said the games with them as coaches weren't even really worth watching.
This was not a popular opinion in Minnesota. But I never apologized for it.

I think most fans would like to see Frost have a good season this year. But it's coupled with a fear that if it happens and Frost's contract is extended, Frost may not be able to continue it next year and it will just delay the inevitable firing and the re-start with a new coach.
While I get the frustration and disappointment, I think some on this board want Frost to lose just to be validated. I want him to win and I want this team to become meaningful. How he makes that happen is immaterial to me so my feelings about Frost don't need to be validated nor do they matter. Just win.
Nebraska fans want the team to win but also to escape limbo. If Frost manages to go 8-5 this year and keep his job, only to go 8-5 in '22 and 8-5 in '23, while a huge improvement, it is still remaining in college football limbo.
Those are good seasons for Purdue or Minnesota. Not Nebraska.

Keeping with the allegory, I'd want to get better. Not trying to be funny. I want NU to win and if Frost can manage it, fine.
In my opinion, watching pregame warm ups, visiting teams are business like and we are loosy goosy. Heck we celebrate tackles on 5 yard gains
I can only speak for myself but I want Nebraska to win every game they play regardless of who the coach is. I don't think Frost is the guy but until he's no longer the coach, I'm going to root like hell for him to be the answer because I hate watching irrelevant and bad football. I am hoping that maybe against all odds, he turns this ship around if they can somehow win against OU (super unlikely).
I actually really like what Whipple's done with the offense given the limitations of the offensive line. He's actually focused on getting the best players (Palmer and Grant) the ball and good things seem to happen every time they touch it. I thought they may have found something to build off of in the 2nd half offensively so we'll see what happens next week.
Even though I want Nebraska to win every game they play, I'm also going to be smart and bet against them to win against every competent opponent they play. Week 1, I absolutely bet on Northwestern and that was entirely because Frost sucks in openers (and has sucked his entire tenure here but I digress). Yesterday, I bet on Nebraska not covering the spread because of how piss poor the defense looked in week 1 (and after yesterday, week 2). Best case, Nebraska wins every game the rest of the season and I lose a tiny bit of money. Worst case, Nebraska loses almost every game the rest of the season (I think they win next weekend) but I make a little money off the miserable viewing experience. Win-win in my book.

Don't take this the wrong way, but hating on the players is immature and so are you.
I feel sorry for the players and am pissed at those making football decisions for essentially giving the players the middle finger by bringing back a failed coach to flush yet another year of their eligibility.
I really don't care what you think. Go back to the cesspool board where you belong loser.
No, I can tell you care what I think.
And on behalf the cesspool board, you stink really bad.
Honestly, I never read your OP. I’m just responding to why people would root against Frost.
And I understand what you’re saying, we should always support the team and want them to be successful.
If the people in charge of the university would do their job, we wouldn’t be talking about fans rooting against the team.
I root for the school and not the coach. It's like the pastor at my church. I don't go there to see him/her. I go there for the church. Pastors come and go. You know what I mean?
I was against hiring frost from day 1 due to lack of experience. (nothing against frost personally except stanford, and asu) but folks didn't listen correctly. but I'm also a team player, thus I support frost 100% and hope he gets better. alot better, soon (like before oklahoma)
it's really alot like biden in many ways (allthough I do dislike him personally, with his 60+ genders and printing press inflation..etc..), I told folks don't vote for him, they did...and now I got to hope he gets better, alot better, soon (like before hyperinflation, ww3 and stock market crash)

My apologies. I must have misunderstood your post. Maybe I have reading comprehension issues!
Right. We all wanted Scott Frost to succeed. 16-30 is the opposite of my expectations. And I would still think that we should be better. It's just not acceptable. We've looked just awful here in Year 5.
"in the bank account, the glory" we are the contender with the glass jaw. everyone we play has a legitimate chance of knocking us out. i enjoyed winning a game yesterday, that's about all. keep filling memorial stadium and guaranteed nothing will change. it's not the money now, it's just the venue, the happening, the experience of a stadium filled with red. dumb and numb big red hasbeens yucking it up. we accept anything like we deserve it for winning in the past.

I’ll admit, In the 3rd qt I felt like F it, let’s just lose this and get it over with. Tear down this whole crap show to the ground so we can rebuild properly but I also hate that I even felt that way mainly because of the players.
So at that point I just decided win or lose whatever happens happens. I made up my mind on SF after year 2 so I’ve been clamoring for this for awhile.
I don’t believe even for a second there aren’t thousands of fans that feel this exact same way which is why it must happen.
He’ll be gone in October (Sunday before the bye week starts), we’ll win 3 games and we’ll have finally hit rock bottom which is what needs to happen so all the crap is thrown out to the curb.

No he has to show failure. We will.never find a good coach if we keep firing winning coaches.
I dont know why our fans can't understand this.
I get it, Penns. Just found the timing (after a pointless win during a pointless season that’s already over for all intents and purposes) to be funny.
my feelings are probably closer to @oldjar07 ’s than to yours.
the players and coaches chose to come here, they “work” “hard” and still these are the results they yield.
I don’t feel bad for a single one of them. Losers are what losers do (lose).
the Michigan fan is right. The worst thing that could happen to Nebraska is accepting an 8-win frost season and furthering our plunge into national irrelevancy.
fans should be rooting for a major tank job so we get what’s sorely needed
Don't really like to get too specific online (sorry) but I'm awhile north of Altoona. Probably 3 1/2 hours or so from Wilkes Barre but not sure off hand. Apologies for my pissy reply earlier. Just fed up from football lately...
You give the scenario of the 8-5 season...which I always hated. 4 wins vs non-conference cupcakes, 3-5 in conference, and a win in some Popeye's Chicken Bowl or something. Boring. Yet others always told me I should be happy with that. Screw that...I wanted Kill/Claeys fired by any means necessary.
I've wanted coaches gone so badly that yes, I wanted my team to tank. I admit it.
