  1. With all the big egos in the coaching industry, I wonder how many assistant coaches get let go just because it's not a good fit (i.e. the head coach just doesn't like working with them). I only have to watch the little prick on TV, but I couldn't imagine working with PJ Fleck every day.
  2. IIRC, Frost and some offensive staff went to CCU during the off-season to learn more about their offense and incorporate more of it to ours. So, while not the same, I think there are some similarities. Also, if I'm remembering this right, that may explain the potential interest. Does anyone else remember hearing this?
  3. I spent some time thinking about this question, and I think my initial anger about the result of the Iowa game was somewhat misplaced. Mostly, what really gets me mad is what seems like willing ignorance of Scott Frost. Based on his press conferences, my impression is that he refuses to learn from mistakes. Simply jettisoning some assistant coaches after the plane has already crashed into the ground seems "too little, too late" to me. If he actually had learned from mistakes I think he would have taken those actions sooner. Some of the things he says in press conferences are pretty alarming. He truly comes across as though he doesn't have any answers, other than to say "we're close" and take very little accountability for the results of the past 4 years. Continuing to say those things, take almost no responsibility for the state of the program, and making no changes to the way he runs things...those are the things that make me mad. The only thing that gives me reason to hope, is the possibility of hiring new assistant coaches who can make meaningful changes. BUT, again, this comes back to Frost making changes to his way of running the program and starting to take responsibility, which seems unlikely. So, until proven otherwise, I'm expecting much more of the same.
  4. I agree with everything you said. I was just expanding on the post from a different perspective. Also, I think there's a decent amount of the fanbase that does support Frost. But, Albert's may have played this so well that money will be saved and most of those supporters will want him gone if/when he has another losing season. Or, we'll all get what we want...a winning program.
  5. Because there's absolutely no crossover, right? I get what you're saying. It stands to reason, however, that with 75% approval, there would be some crossover. Wouldn't you agree?
  6. Your point is understood, and not really inaccurate. But, if you're upset that people are angry about this program being a perpetual dumpster, perhaps message boards aren't for you. I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that's a large reason these things even exist.
  7. I have no issue with you, or what you're saying. But, when Twitter polls showed 75% support for keeping Frost, I don't think it's necessarily imaginary. I'm guessing that's where the frustration is aimed.
  8. I look at this from a different angle. The athletic department is already going to the well, trying to figure out how to prop this sellout streak up with all the "red carpet" and BOGO stuff. If Frost is retained for another year, and the team isn't trending in a winning direction (i.e. 6-6 or 5-7 while winning the last two games), how can this athletic department overcome the lost revenue when the stadium is half full next year? Trev, Ronnie, and Ted may decide to bring him back. But, it seems like one hell of a gamble because if the team continues to lose to the "lesser" B1G west teams (hard to call any team in the west a "lesser" team, I know...which is its own kind of sad) Memorial Stadium is going to be next to impossible to fill. In my opinion, the lost revenue from another crappy season, just like the last four years, is going to far outweigh the $20 million for his buyout.
  9. It was a Pelini quote. Sorry, thought it was widely known. I should have put quotes around it. ...I'll do better.
  10. It's not about yards; it's about points, ma'am
  11. Can't agree more on the Austin front. Every game seems, more and more, to show how bad he is at getting his guys prepped.
  12. Don't let those 2 being drafted stop you. I'm convinced they got drafted in spite of their inept coaching.
  13. I don't think my opinion on Frost's job status is relevant (i.e. Trev's gonna do what Trev wants/needs to do). I will say that, if we don't make a bowl game this year, I think the only way Frost is able to continue as our head coach is if he makes some significant changes to his staff. We've seen this buy other coaches one more year to attempt to right the ship. I'm pretty convinced that he's too loyal to make the changes he probably should make, tho. Those changes would be, almost exclusively, on the offensive side of the ball.
  14. I haven't read any of the articles put out after today's presser. So I truly don't know how much of it is going on within the Nebraska media right now, but almost any answer could be skewed to fit a narrative without proper context. I know Sherman gets accused of not giving readers proper context A LOT...and I've kinda questioned his motives a few times, given what he tweets out. Other than that, though, most of the media I've read (Sam, Sip, Parker, and Christopherson mostly) at least attempt to give context to their quotes.
  15. I think it could be "childish"....until you hear Sam's question, which was "Do you want to tell us?" At that point, I think he deserved that answer. Full disclosure, I like most of Sam's questions/interviews and I think he tends to get coaches to give a little additional info on occasion. But, he also gets into the "cringe-worthy" line of questioning (for me) at times. To that end, I'm kinda surprised he doesn't get answers like this more often.
  16. I believe, @Undone, he was saying that Frost is the one who feeds the media...as in, his answers/statements generate a decent amount of their content.
  17. Just had a chance to watch Frost speak to the media and I think some folks try to read too far into too many things...including media members covering the team. That last part is probably something to do with the "efficiency" of the press conference. Honestly, I didn't see or hear anything that was troubling to me. He wasn't pissed off and yelling, or even anywhere close to it. He was very succinct with his answers and, to me, may have been trying to set the tone for his team and where he wants their mindset to be - on the game this Saturday. Entertaining questions from the media related to anything other than Saturday's game only detracts from that mindset. In the first few answers, he almost seemed like he was holding back a smile....like he knew he was about to "Belichick" this presser. I can't say that I blame him, especially when everything he says has a tendency to be thrown back in his face. Perhaps it's just a new strategy. lol That's just my observation of it.
  18. In my profession (governmental auditing), standards use the words "must" or "should" which have slightly different definitions. "Must" = is required/madatory "Should" = is required in the absence of some specific exceptions Using that, it would seem to me that the NCAA/Conference is leaving open the possibility of exceptions to the rule.
  19. Thanks @Mavric. That's the impression I had from the videos as well. Just wondering since @GretnaHusker14 had him at safeat, which is understandable since the word when he transferred was that he would be more natural at that position.
  20. Have the coaches said whether T Johnson will be primarily at Corner or Safety? I know there was speculation that he's be a better fit at safety. But, he was insistent about playing corner at OSU, iirc.
  21. I just want to make sure that I didn't fall into a coma and miss a couple of years....Yant is a TRUE FRESHMAN, yes?? That man is scary! lol
  22. haha...I usually think of Lou, from Hot Tub Time Machine.
  23. This was my first thought, as well.
