  1. I hope this post doesnt come off as bashing Chinander, because that's not my intent. However, I think we're probably still a year or 2 away from him getting serious looks as a HC, if thats a path he wants to go down. I say this because while our defense has improved tremendously, prior to this year we really werent that great. In reality, our defense has been pretty subpar the first few years, though it has improved every year and, eye test wise, stands out as a success due to the performance and consistency its displayed that our offense has not. I think the ohio state game will be very telling. While our defense has been very solid this year on limiting points and bottling up the other offense, our bend dont break style doesnt really work that well against a team that is both more talented and very sound offensively. In hindsight, that oklahoma performance (while still looking solid) has lost some shine given how big of a bust Rattler has turned out to be. Oklahoma has struggled in almost every single game this year and now has a qb battle on its ends when one of the qbs was the preseason consensus for the heisman. Michigan St and michigan were rather 1 sided based offenses (just stop the run) that I think played very well to the strength of this defense. We still don't have any form of a pass rush without blitzing and we still are pretty dismal at creating turnovers and creating big swings on the field position game. Historically speaking, Head Coaches that have come from the Defensive side of the ball typically have a very distinct system or produce results (creating turnovers, domination of the game) for a top 10 type team that springboard said coach to a HC role. While its been great improvement thus far and Chins has proved me wrong, I wouldn't say he's even close to either of these 2 categories. TLDR: I like what chins has done but no im not worried he's bouncing to a HC gig as I feel like he needs to post another 2-3 years worth of top 25 caliber defenses before he'd get an honest look
  2. fans most certainly have an influence. Just google the Schiano/Tennessee Vols fiasco from a few years back.
  3. I think it’s possible but I see the path being minny Purdue and Wisconsin. Iowa just plays clean football and we don’t. Love 2AM heart and plays he makes but hot damn im just so over watching a crushing loss due to another self inflicted play
  4. Did u see Iowa today? While I feel both them and penn st overrated to begin with there’s no f#&%ing way we beat them when our quarterback is a complete liability in close games
  5. Autocorrect suggestion: “I love the guy, but it’s amazing how much stupid s#!t he does all the time.”
  6. Can we please raid the transfer market and put an end to the 2AM era. Meaningless stats, low IQ brand of football time and time again and simply doesn’t win his teams games.
  7. Dumbest team in America, why the f#&% even get our hopes up
  8. This team will never win the big game until the leaders on the team actually stop playing moronic football. So many self inflicted mistakes, inexcusable
  9. Why does frost have to beg? 2AM most certainly not getting drafted and I’d be shocked to see him transfer for a year. I’d be more surprised if he’s not back for one last year
  10. Are we just forgetting the existence of Sam Keller? Cause if so, I'm down
  11. WHY CANT WE ALL BE FRIENDS DAMMIT, EVEN AFTER A VICTORY CAN WE NOT HAVE JUST ONE WEEK WITHOUT CUT THROAT RESPONSES?!?! ITS TIME WE BANDED TOGETHER AND SYNERGIZE THIS PENT UP SEXUAL FRUSTRATION AND DIRECT IT AT MICHIGAN FOR WHATS BOUND TO BE A MASSIVE TOP 10 UPSET. WAIT WHAT?!?!?! damn you autocorrect!!!!!!
  12. The thing i loved about his runs is he wastes ZERO time going north south... that coupled with the fact he's a load to bring down... pumped for the potential with this guy
  13. It'll start again this year when we kick the s#!t out of a boring AF and overrated as hell Iowa squad to end the year.
  14. Not only a division title but prolly sitting ranked between 20-25 with a home game against a near top 10 Michigan team…
  15. Im in the camp of giving frost another year with some staff shakeups but if he truly only wins 2 or 3, meaning he ends the yea ron like a 10 game losing streak and we beat literally not one besides buffalo and fordham, hes out. Northwestern is trash this year, purdue needs to be a win and same can be said for minnesota.... Not to mention wiscy hasn't looked this weak in 10-15 years-- frosty restores a lot of confidence for me if all of these are wins-- these wins would also get us to a bowl..... While style points shouldnt matter- the games i listed above would be great to see a comfortable win instead of our typical fashion of playing to our competition.
  16. this team is more than capable of beating michigan... really ohio state is the only one that would be a big shock if we won
  17. Frost doesn’t need to be canned- - short leash for sure but here’s realistically what we need: 1. fire verduzco- I’m sorry but the lack of development of QBs and options (depth) has not justified his stay. 2. Use the coaching spot above on a full time ST coach- frosty can coach QBs and truly let lubick run offense with frosty input 3. fire g Austin- and go out and pay top dollar for a strong o line coach. I’d prefer a long time NFL guy simply for assurances there’s a track record of sound fundamentals being taught- at a bare minimum the replacement should have no question marks on the resume part of being the CEO is making tough personnel decisions, sometimes at the expense of those you have personal ties to. There’s that saying about how you don’t want to be the smartest in the room and surround yourself with those who will elevate your game by being better in certain areas- frost has woefully failed in this department electing to surround himself with those who are clearly lacking in the skill/experience needed at this level. There’s a fine balance between justified loyalty and blind loyalty- frosty seems to fall in the latter here and will be the driver of his downfall if not corrected
  18. Our clock management is so piss poor… why are we not using a timeout on that 5 yard catch. Ate up 13 seconds only to take a sack… dumb
