Coastal Carolina’s staff. Or Cincinnati’s staff

Moving forward, it’s operation Reclaim my Saturdays. I said it after the Michigan state game that they had one more of these unfocused losses for me to be done. So, at this point, I’m reclaiming my Saturdays. I love the team, but I’m not that much of a glutton for punishment. I stopped watching at halftime cos I knew it was just that type of game. Coaching and preparing with hubris on offence.

Martinez deserves all the credit in the world for that. But the reality is that in those final drive or overtime situations, Martinez is more likely than not to turn the ball over and/or make bad decisions. His QBR in late 4th quarter or OT drives to tie or win games is close to 0.0. At this point, it is what it is. doesn’t mean he’s not or hasn’t been a great QB for us. He is and has been so.

ah. but the catch is, if frost can overcome his poor attention to details, and get the special teams fixed, we most likely aren't going to be 4-8.

This tells me that alberts has not made the decision, but there’s probably specific markers separate from wins and losses that would allow Frost to come back. If special teams doesn’t improve and we go 4-8, I’ll bet Frost is gone.

yes. i remembered this, but i couldn't find any articles on it. he actually said he didn't care about special teams, or it wasn't a concern, or something to that effect. truth is, Frost is an offensive play design genius trying to moonlight as a head coach. and it truly might work, but he has to leave some of this clubhouse mentality behind. in the Big Ten, you have to be intentional and have an almost insane attention to details about what you want to see happen in your program, no matter who you've delegated it to, and no matter whose feelings might get hurt. otherwise you can't win for an extended period of time.

in addition, the problem of claiming "improvements" is that the places inthe program we've truly seen improvements are in places where he has no control over (defence), or his hand was forced. otherwise, there isn't truly any improvement.

who says it's not an exact metric? again, if the same metrics are being used whether a team plays in tallahassee or in pullman, washington, what difference does it make? it's a grading method. you don't have to like the method, but there is a message being passed across: the defense could have been better.

he needs to be reminded that he's not good or talented enough to abandon his technique. that's meant for people like ed reed, mike brown, troy polamalu, and deion sanders. even darrel reevis and champ bailey are hall of famers only because their technique was so sound and consistent.

Not really. you could argue that the metrics are suspect, but at the end of the day, they are using the same standard for all teams, and those standards are pretty objective. a missed tackle is a missed tackle, regardless of opponent or scheme. if our linebackers (heinrich, for example) made their tackles, we likely don't lose that game. if deontae williams doesn't miss his sack, we likely score more than 16. that's it. on the whole, we held them to low points, but on the micro level, we could have done much much better on defense. that's why the national sentiment on Nebraska seems to be shifting from we're "trash" to we're "not too far off".

I learnt that Braxton Clark may be better than Cam Taylor Britt at cornerback.

i think held is a bit underrated, and his rbs underperform partly because of the O-line. other than that, i agree. if there isn't a cleanout, verdu and austin need to go. hire snyder and a great ol coach, and let the OC coach the qbs. but you know frost won't do that.

bruh. he just lost. it's not about talking or not talking. it's about holding frost accountable for easy decisions he seems unable or unwilling to make, which are costing him a winning record.

this oklahoma game definitely didnt help this situation. a loss is still a loss, but they truly didn't look so far off. the same three issues cost us a closer game, maybe a win. - special teams - Oline consistency - focus in the moment all three are basically visible in pretty much every game in frost's tenure. and that basically speaks to a lack of attention to details. the little things are why frost is where he's at. its not really about any coach on staff but about frost himself. clean these up and he would be in indianapolis every year.

i agree here as well. at this point, frost is coaching for his job every week. he's likely not going 9-3, so then its the nature of the losses that will probably determine if he comes back. Hopefully. At least we hope Trev Alberts is not going to just accept whatever we see on the field.

As of 2 weeks, maybe 10 days ago, i wanted Frost and this staff fired. Part of me still does, because from a logical standpoint, his results say there needs to be a change, and if this were any other blue blood, we over here would be wondering why he hasn't been fired yet. So why am i wavering? lol is this the textbook definition of "simping"?? The more i think about what could be with frost and some flashes of what we see on gameday, the more i feel he has a shot, a chance to show that he can succeed at this level and in the B1G. but, i just can't get around the issues this team has. or is this just a case of getting comfortable with the mediocrity? We watch and wait i guess. hopefully the team comes out prepared and ready to play.

I think Buffalo isn’t as bad as people think. I still think Scott Frost is basically interviewing for his job on a weekly basis right now, but Buffalo is not weak sauce. Frost did a decent job given the heat, the officials, and his tendency to shoot himself on the foot. Plus they covered the spread easily.

I learned that Scott Frost deserves his flowers for this game. There are still issues, but I think this was a good win. I’ll take that for a guy who has probably only had 2 in 4 years.

Just win, baby!

i don't want nebraska to lose. the more i watch these other teams, the more i think Trev just needs to go ahead and pull the trigger.

oh i was just trying to save you and me some time. but i'll play. this is his 6th year as a head coach.

ah. i see what you're saying. What is scott frost dominating? is there any part of his program that is successful?

huh?

early 90's.

To an extent yes. we were already good and dominating the Big 8, but not necessarily nationally in the same way. Nebraska was able to realize the deficiency and correct it.. merged good to great talent with the best attention to detail and fundamentals in the country. took them to the top naturally. Frost, not so much.
