TO never gave up play calling duties. He called the plays for every game he ever coached. Stop making up things that didn’t happen.14 points

I do think Scott could be much more energetic. I think hes trying way too hard to be like TO. Be yourself, be passionate, your players will follow. Also more importantly, i beleive if he was more a CEO, like Saban, Day, Dantonio, Orgeron, Chryst, Dabo, etc he would be much more successful. He could focus on the "team" instead of offense and calling plays. He should learn from TO, be the final decision on calls, but not the guy calling the plays. TO started as OC/CEO but eventually gave OC duties up, which led them to the 90s domination. Frost has to give up the OC ego for our success.Be the CEO, the punisher and booster for all 3 aspects of the team(offense, defense, sts). Thats the only way this will work.7 points

Dear Coach Frost, just win games that are there for the taking and you won’t be so frustrated. Your terrible short yardage offense, horrific defense are on you and nobody else. So change that! Your unintentionally building a culture of fear of failure and excuse makers. Please find a positive long term mantra to build a culture on.7 points

Just a hunch, but I am sure Frost was able to get the buy-in from his inherited players at UCF. I'm sure Frost thought "I was able to get the turnaround at UCF, utilizing their talent, along with a new attitude by those players. Frost was probably pretty confident coming to NU that he could do a similar turnaround. However, the guys he inherited aren't as talented as he thought and aren't as coach-able as he would have hoped. I am not saying Frost and his staff don't deserve any blame, but the players are the ones out on the field.6 points

Did you read the article? Nobody, especially "they", mentioned the old staff once. Weird how it's so to easy associate a lack of work ethic and passion with the old staff, when it isn't specifically mentioned, isn't it? It's almost like we know how bad it was before but apparently some of us don't like hearing the truth.6 points

If it’s a legit concern about what’s going on I’m fine with it. I want to hear the truth- if kids are not trying then I’m fine hearing that. It’s better than telling us they had a great practice them play like shot5 points

Frost has called plays at some of the highest levels of college football. I don't think his play calling is the issue. I think he's trying to call plays to make up for our major defincies on offense and at times it leads to what looks like head scratching play calls.5 points

Frost is acting like a Whinny b... He was hired to fix the problems NOT complain about them. It’s for him to find solutions NOT excuses. It’s his job as a leader to take the blame NOT put it on others.4 points

Sounds like you might have a different version of the story. Interested in sharing so we all know your facts?4 points

The ice cream man definitely left behind a soft serve culture. It's not a big surprise that some of the upperclassmen aren't competitive.4 points

No one is getting fired for on field performance. People can whine and complain all they want but Frost wanted time for him and his staff when he got here and he will get it. No matter how much people ask the answer isn't going to change. Who would he fire? The guy who has improved our defense 2 years in a row? I don't think so.4 points

If we lose to Maryland we should be forced to play Rutgers. Loser gets relegated to the MAC.4 points

Is this board going to go thru every school that has changed coaches recently and create a thread on how they are doing so well while Nebraska is sucking?4 points

I am curious as to how other programs have been able to turn things around in their second year, some even in their first year. Is it possible that the players are not learning because they have little respect for this coaching staff? Also, how can you change the culture if you are not willing to discipline those who commit stupid penalties or sit down a QB who is struggling and refuse to give someone else a chance. Until Frost makes some tough decisions, the culture is not going to magically fix itself.3 points

Since you are linking articles on who to blame for Burrow not being at NU, here is one from the OWH. https://www.omaha.com/sports/college/huskers/plus/mckewon-between-adrian-martinez-and-joe-burrow-did-the-huskers/article_1868991b-47fa-5c24-8334-b5db2c0bf0ef.html If you are one blaming Frost for not bringing in Burrow, that criticism is 100% hindsight driven.3 points
-
“Missed”...that’s one way of putting it. Bos circus “allowed” burrow to pay his own way to camp at unl and through the whole weekend nobody on the staff said one thing to him. Cold shoulder, snubbed...call it what you want. All this to offer some 3 star dude from tx that didn’t win his Hs teams qb position, transferred to another Hs to get this, play te. Can’t make it up. MR at least tried to change his mind and SF had a qb and obviously has other areas to fill quickly. I don’t blame SF for burrow, this falls squarely on one Blo Pelini.3 points

You make it sound like he’s going around and complaining to everyone who will listen. That’s a whinny B. And that’s not Coach Frost. He gets asked questions in media sessions and answers them. Frost has shown consistent bluntness and truthfulness when asked a question more so than a lot of HC’s who prefer to say as little as possible. No offense, but sometimes people like you, for example, don’t handle this well and don’t like him stating what he believes to be true.3 points

he learned how to ride his bike on the turf at memorial stadium..he wanted to be a husker! Somebody, I wont say who, really messed that up.............his initials are BP!3 points

I really hope we quickly move past comparing ourselves to Indy, Illinois, Minnie, SMU etc.... I'd prefer to look at OU, Bama, as teams that fell from grace but rose again. I guess you can also look at FSU, UT and Miami as two teams wandering the desert save for FSU's year with Winston....I'd love a Clemson type turn around...We were like that with Bo. He just never pulled a Dabo. Maybe like you said, Frost can get everything to fit and the beast comes to life....3 points

Is he wrong, how do you motivate kids that have no interest in getting better, I think this was the point he made several times in the presser. He was not wrong. We have kids on our team now and have for the past 20 yrs that are ok with being ok. He’s changing a mentality and he doesn’t have enough kids that “care” to compensate for the ones that don’t.3 points

Leave a drunk guy alone with his somehow idiotic statement. Not sure why i said that. Pretty obvious TO called the plays until he retired.3 points

I hope Frost learns to adjust. Frost really needs a new D coordinator next season and shouldn't be afraid to bench an underperforming QB.3 points

Husker Fans need need to get over thinking our defensive problems are because we run a 3-4. It’s not. There are examples of teams in our own conference that are successful running the 3-4 and they aren’t teams that have top 10 recruiting classes. On top of that, we have xx actually ran quite a bit of 4-3 this year and we still sucked. Fact is, no matter which you run, you have to have good players that play within the system. We don’t and that’s our problem.3 points

Yes..? To maybe all of those. To me it feels like a mixture of things. First and foremost, they recognize they need wins and some immediate success and they need it now. This has changed the focus from building with long term pieces out of high school to trying to find plug and play depth and competition. The second part of it feels like they missed on a lot of those long term players they liked out of high school so instead of reaching on guys out of high school that'll never play they are attempting to plug holes with juco guys. Obviously this juco route wasn't in the game plan all year or there wouldn't be a huge title wave of these offers now. I don't mind it because I think the kids out of high school that are in this 2020 class are going to be great and also see the value in trying to get to a dang bowl game next year.3 points

Taylor got 250 against Iowa. He'll probably at least have that against us unless he is pulled before the 4th quarter since they are up by so much. Illinois getting to a bowl game shows what happens when you handle adversity properly like losing to a poor teams like Nebraska.3 points

When nick gates, our 4 star, three yr starter at lt and best oline prospect for next level in yrs goes to the draft and benches 225 less times than I did out of HS I think it’s fair to say the weight program had gone to hell and let’s say “optional”3 points

You think other programs have similar situations to Nebraska but nobody really knows the exact situations of every college program. I’m gonna stay focused on Nebraska, and I’m sure Frost and his staff is gonna do the same.3 points

Yeah, I think that's the biggest problem with the 3-4. However, it's hard to find great pass rushing ends for the 4-3 too.2 points

UCf is apples and oranges. They were 3 yrs remove from a 12 win team..,2 yrs from a 9 win team. Remind me again when NE last won 12 games in a season. Not to mention it was pretty clear they had better athletes there than here in key positions. Didn’t think I’d have to mention it but I will.....the AAC is not even close to the Big10. Little things they could get away with there cost them games here, players and coaches. The margin for error here, with the current roster is razor thin, for both players and coaches.2 points

An indication of just how far we've fallen is the comparison of the Huskers to Arkansas. Arkansas? Really? When were their dynasties? How many crystal trophies are in their trophy case? The Razorbacks have exactly one undefeated season. It was during the Lyndon Johnson administration. Say what you will about similar trajectories. There's one big difference though. We've been there before. A few times. Arkansas hasn't. The Huskers will get back. Eventually. Definitely before Arkansas sniffs a playoff game. /jmho2 points

Austin complimented Fritzche's aggressiveness last week. Frost seems to be pulling in some talent at OL. If Austin and Duval develop them like Jurgens, there's reason for optimism.2 points

But yet you proclaimed KSU hired a better coach. so, what did you mean? When frost came in he replaced well over half the team. After this year there probably will be more players leave early and replaced. He brought in a new staff. We are building an entirely new facility. What more do you mean by “burn it down”?2 points

I think they are honestly just looking for a hybrid speedy guy to use on obvious passing situations or against a quicker team that operates out of the spread2 points

Minny and Illinois are really hating the idea of rebuilding a culture by throwing their young pups to the wolves the last two years. So have plenty of other teams.2 points

Snyder left that program in a much better situation for their current staff than what was left for Frost & Co. Some may scoff at that notion. But, if nothing else, Bill Snyder brought consistency in approach and culture. To me it's pretty obvious that we have lacked consistency for far too long.2 points
