brophog Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 It is interesting, in a non-interesting way, that there is virtually no talk about what Tennessee is going to do. Some Gruden talk, but that's basically never been anything. Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Personally I would love it if someone else hired the Navy guy. A P5 school like georgia tech. See a resurgence of the option attack. I think it would work great- it just doesnt fit the narrative of the national media. They said it didnt work anymore in the early 90s. Look what happened when we had the right collection of talent. In addition I think the 2001 national title game is what the media used to convince perhaps even nebraska itself they needed to move on. I think that was crap- we just ran into a buzzsaw of one of the top 5 best teams all time. Any offense probably would have gotten smashed in that game.

Takings someone else's coaches is one thing, taking players with them makes me uneasy, plus he'd have to sit out a year and our immediate need is at QB with a bunch of pocket passers. I know some think Gebbia could do the job but I don't think he's as fleet of foot as most do. He's a gamer so he'd give it a go I'm sure. I looked it up and is Darlington really a Junior still? Seems like he's been hear longer than that, he might be our best open aside from grad transfers and juco guys. 2 Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Why would the thread get locked for drifting off topic? As soon as more news comes out, we'll be back on schedule. It's a forum. We talk on forums. I mean where will I go with no Frost megathread?...back to work...shudder... 2 Link to comment

Back in the day it was me, zoogs, AR Husker Fan & BRI doing most of the heavy lifting. Today it's Mavric, saunders, Enhance, Huskerzoo, Thanks_Tom & jsneb8675309, none of whom were Mods about two years ago. So if there's a whole different set of people running the show, and they're still making decisions you're not on board with, maybe the problem isn't the mods. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lol I didn't even know I had been banned before.

POB and Gebbia can run Frosts offense and be successful imo, but we will have to bring in 1 or 2 more guys for competition and depths sake. I'll put my faith in whoever Frost lines up back there though given his history with QBs. Link to comment
El Straino Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Are we still confusing the TO offense of the 90s with a flexbone true triple option offense? Asking for a friend who doesn't want to hurt themselves facepalming 6 Link to comment

Look what happened when we had the right collection of talent. We went shotgun to open up the game vs Tennessee? We had only 69 yards rushing in the first half with Frost averaging 0.4 ypc.

He's like that Steelers coach before Tomlin, he'll be linked to every big job until people realize he isn't coming back. Gruden's brother maybe, but Gruden has a sweet gig on arguably the most prominent game of the week. He gets to talk football and still have a life and say "Spider 3 Y Banana" as much as he wants, do the QB corner thing, I just don't see him giving that up. Link to comment

Asking for a friend who doesn't want to hurt themselves facepalming I would assume when those guys would move to the P5 they would adapt their system like TO did over time. Point being no one is running any power running game/ option scheme right now. It would be refreshing to see it again. Link to comment

How many rushing yards did we average in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001? Link to comment

What do you know, the mods with their bias and double standards on this board. Surprising. If you don't like the board or the way it is moderated, you're more than welcome to find another avenue for discussing Husker football. As such, minor details about jessica0's ban have been provided in the Woodshed. You're more than welcome to check it out for yourself and then stop jumping to conclusions. 1 Link to comment
