Vrzal on Gary Sharp show

[WestCoastCornhusker2]

Advice...stop listening to anything Vrzal has to say. The dude is playing a part. He knows what Husker fans want to hear.

They don't want to hear me , that's obvious. I think there is a psychological syndrome for this. It's called Optimism Bias. is a cognitive bias that causes someone to believe that they themselves are less likely to experience a negative event. It is also known as unrealistic optimism or comparative optimism.

Nebraska and Texas suffer this, just because they wear the Red or Burnt Orange, they just assume they're great and will win.

The Nebraska media feeds into this big time. Only optimistic news and quotes allowed. Then when **** show happens people are shocked, how could this happen to us?

Good heavens. Have you listened to or read any Nebraska media this year? It's been a non-stop critique of Frost and his staff for most of the season.

very hard to find any printed material negative on Frost coming out of Nebraska. I don't live there so don't listen to the local Nebraska radio. Who from Nebraska media is calling for Frost to be fired?

You are seriously off your dam rocker.

Are you serious? If the headlines every day don’t say “Fire the Loser Frost” then the Nebraska media is soft.

 

[Dean Pope]

Probably not if you're trying to convince the OC that he'll have control over the offense.

How many OC's could be convinced that Scott Frost would not be interfering with the offense anyway? I think whomever we get will be someone who is OK with being the OC in title only. Frost is what he is. He'll interfere with the offense.

So literally no one in the Nebraska media said they think Frost should be fired? No wonder we are in this mess of a **** show. No one has the cajones and to say the emperor has no clothes.

Don't know, but I would imagine quite a few.

 

[Laner2]

Snarky? Just advocate firing Frost for his **** show performance against crap teams and count all the "Snarky" comments you get.

Please reread my post for the content. I did not comment on the quality of his point, only on the manner he conveys his thoughts.

 

[Laner2]

So

Lo

They posed the question but none actively campaigned for him to be fired. The radio call in shows allowed callers almost daily to call for his removal. The only "media" people who defended Frost were on the Husker network show Sports Nightly.

And the team in general. And when four coaches get fired.....they were like you know it had to happen. They just weren't getting it done. OH REALLY?? YOU THINK?? Brown nosers.

coming out on the air to fire Frost would have been a sure way to get fired. 590 had a jockey who bashed Husker coaches several years ago. He lasted a few months.

Apparently folks don't want the media to drive agendas in anything but football. I thought we just wanted media to report things

I really don't think a Nebraska based sports media person should or can adopt an adversarial role with local sports figures. It's a bad look and probably bad business for the outlet they work for.

 

[Dean Pope]

No doubt that there will be plenty interested. I'm just lamenting the fact that the proven, bigger name guys will not consider it.

As I've posted before, don't be surprised if the hire ends up being a younger guy that most people have never heard of. I've watched some very dynamic offenses and well coached QBs from small schools over the past couple of months. I posted about one guy who probably isn't a fit for what Nebraska would want but he's only been an OC for a couple of years. He immediately lit up that schools QB performances when he took over as OC and QB coach. I would have to go back in my posts and find his name and school. Think it was Samford. There are guys like that to be had and the best option for our OC job might very well be some young coach nobody has heard of.

Frankly, I liked a lot of what Lubick was bringing to the table and I think he had heard the criticisms of play calling and had adjusted to a good degree. I think we might have made a mistake canning him and Held. I think Lubick could have grown in to the job. The fact is that we're probably not going to get some extremely experienced OC with a long resume to take our job. Just the way it likely is. I do hope that the new OC has at least several years of experience calling plays and demonstrated proficiency even it it's at a lower division school.

Not sure why they fired Lubick to be honest when Frost's plan is basically just going to bring in another guy to do the same thing Lubick did- run the offense with Frost. Sure the play of the offense was awful, but with Frost in charge, rest assured that the team won't be ready to start the season. It will take a few games to "match the physicality" of our opponent (remember when WE were the more physical team?) after playing glorified tag football for six months. It's not going to go well. Better to have Lubick IF Lubick would stand up to Frost and say I'm not going to make the same mistakes again.

You need to do more research bud...No one in the media is going to come out and say "Scott Frost should be fired" or "I think Frost should be fired" but you will see things like

Nebraska, Scott Frost are Running Out of Time to Find the Answer
Sherman: Why this feels like the end of Nebraska’s Scott Frost era and more Huskers takeaways

I know, but that's only two articles from Nebraska writers. There are more, you can do the research. But if you're looking for "printed" material, the kind that comes from Omaha World Herald, Lincoln Journal Star...I would say again, you aren't going to find the "Fire Frost" articles but there are some pretty negative ones out there. Dirk Chatelin hold nothing back...

I think part of the issue was that our QB coach and Lubick knew they had no say in pulling Adrian when he f'd up. I do think Lubick heard the criticism of the play calling and adjusted. I think Lubick in some ways was a scapegoat. Grandpa Potter IMO earned his dismissal as well as Austin. I don't know the dynamics of Frost's and Lubick's relationship so I guess it's hard to judge why he was let go. There might be more to the story than meets the eye. I think we've improved in our physicality dramatically but man our OTs need to be better and our O line coaching has to be better. This isn't the 90s anymore. We're not going to line up in the B1G and blow people off the ball. Minnesota lines up an extra guard or two when they want to try to pound it and sometimes it still doesn't work.

Did you miss the point when the media appeared to have been given the go ahead to launch negative press on Frost?

The OL needs to be a priority BIG TIME. I would be in favor of hiring two OL coaches, like Pelini did with Cotton and Garrison or TO did with Milt and Dan, especially if one is also the OC.

No I'm wasn't suggesting that. Just saying on sports nightly Sharpe and cootie were like on animal house....all is well. NEVER once did they suggest things weren't working but when 4 asst coaches were sent packing they said you could see for awhile a change was needed. Well duh. But they sure shot down any callers that suggested that. Then they were reporting like oh yeah we knew for a long time and were seeing things we were too stupid to notice. Great job of reporting breaking news

Could you please provide a list of OCs that you think are proven big names.

Right after the Minnesota loss there was a dramatic shift in the tone and content of the OWH particularly detailing all of the shortcomings of Frost's offense, detailing all the "empirical data" that Alberts was referencing when Frost made staff changes eventually. I know you're not local... do you follow any media outside of this Husker Online Board for information? Honest question. There's plenty out there especially from the OWH.
Post game, 10/16/2021. Check out the last minute of the video, it kicked off the last month of coverage that rips the bandage off and puts the focus on inarguable facts.

All this guy did was reiterate what happened in the game, big deal.

The only thing he did was state "The Fans will put Frost back on the Hot Seat" and he failed and did not call for a coaching change. This is the reason we are in this mess. Any other name (other than Frost) and this dude calls for a regime change.

That might work in LA but it would be career suicide in Nebraska.

Well said. All sorts of teams will put a tackle at TE, run an unbalanced line or use a fullback. Anything to gain an advantage. Not Frost though.

As for the line, it's funny that Frost can recruit a bunch of tall lineman, play them very early in their careers and then we wonder why we can't get any push at the line of scrimmage.

 

[Dean Pope]

No thanks. I'm just referring to any list of recently fired head coaches with an offensive background or any list of top OC's that you could get off the Google machine.

@WestCoastCornhusker2 provided his Googled list today in a multi-thread format. You could probably just use one of his.

The guys on Sports Nightly are hired by the athletic department. They are paid to be the outlet for the athletic department. Of course they aren't going to give you anything other than the company line.

Sharpe is the voice of the Huskers. He's not paid to give his own opinions. Read the OWH if you want critique of the coaches.
