There are underlying issues. And issues that are obvious. We've beaten Fordham, Buffalo and Northwestern.

I'd rather have 9 or 10 wins seasons every season like Bo Pelini and maybe get blown out a game or two, then be competitive every game, but only have 3 or 4 wins to show for it. I would not say we outplayed a majority of our opponents this season at all.Well not sure about that for a long time I heard a lot of people talk about being competitive against everyone we played. We definitely did that in fact we outplayed pretty much all of our opponents
Allow Huskerboard to rejoice as another self anointed expert has been identified.Pros - we can work his contract payment down.
Cons - I have to keep reading posts from people who know nothing about the game
But of what!Allow Huskerboard to rejoice as another self anointed expert has been identified.
I hate to break it to you. It’s a message board. We are all experts.
Right but being competitive is certainly a Pro which is what we are discussing. And in some ways I do feel closer to getting to the cfb playoffs with Frost if we would just learn how to win those games, than I did with Pelini walking onto the field knowing we were going to get torched by jet sweep at least ten times and have no chance of competing. You can loose a close game and still make the playoffs but if you get blown out you are not making the playoffsI'd rather have 9 or 10 wins seasons every season like Bo Pelini and maybe get blown out a game or two, then be competitive every game, but only have 3 or 4 wins to show for it.

Yeah, but you can't lose 7 close games out of 10 and make the playoffs.Right but being competitive is certainly a Pro which is what we are discussing.

Nope but in the future if we win 3 or 4 of those close games and 3-4 of them comfortably, then we could.Yeah, but you can't lose 7 close games out of 10 and make the playoffs.
I agree that the best way to a great program is to win 8 games comfortably (by better talent) and doing your best in the remaining 50-50 games. However, what has shown you to think that Frost can get his team up to getting to the point of winning the 8 games comfortably? Crap, Frost can't even get a winning record against any of the Big Ten West teams. These are 6 opponents which NU plays every year. Frost has a losing record! Why even think about playoff with this current coaching staff?Nope but in the future if we win 3 or 4 of those close games and 3-4 of them comfortably, then we could.
Pros:
-Prior to this season he has done a good job at recruiting
-Nebraska will not have to buy out his contract
Cons:
-Worst coaching record since the 1950s
-Stubborn to the point of costing the program games
-No signs he knows how to improve offense or special teams
I believe we can do better on Offense. Bit we have also average 30 ppg while only giving up 20 on averageI agree that the best way to a great program is to win 8 games comfortably (by better talent) and doing your best in the remaining 50-50 games.

And you have been a person who has continually called Martinez a "choker", and I do agree that Martinez should be able to handle pressure situations better. However, with Frost supposed to be an offensive mind, it's very troubling when his o-line allows continuous pressure, the RB's either aren't trusted to make plays or Frost doesn't have enough patience to stick with them, and they haven't been able to recruit and develop a solid WR in 4 years. I won't mention anything when it comes to special teams.I believe we can do better on Offense.
