While this 2022 team is beyond salvage, it is not all just academic. No, we will not taste any modicum of success this year no matter who wears the headsets, but to continue to let those who drove us to this low to continue to wear them would speak volumes about us not caring. We are hopeless to change the outcome of the season at this point, but we have the power to show we do not accept it, and that is by severing the top level people who landed us here. Frost and Chins hit the door, Whip takes over.. Pray Riaola knows how to scheme a basic D and tell the boys to get after it.. Something along those lines. Leave the genius' at the top to their piles of cash but waste no time showing the world that we are not complacent as a program.

This would assume he is trying at all.

What about back to back to back to back to back s#!tty coaches?

Malachi not even lighting it up in high school. One thing I KNOW for sure, NU isn't the place for him if Scott is at the helm. This isn't where you come to develop into an NFL receiver especially if you can't even dominate Nebraska high school ball but are still convinced you are the best there's ever been. This is where you come when you are a dominant receiver with a great attitude and your goal in the world is to produce 900 yards and 5 touchdowns and get drafted 258th. That is literally the best success story we have over the past 5 years.

I was thinking about this last night while at the game. I was literally considering, assuming we eek out a win here against GSo, and, hell, let's pipe dream that we get the upset of the century against OU next week, what does that really change? This team is not good. It doesn't play with any passion or physicality. It doesn't play with any intelligence. Even if we eek out 7+ wins this season, do I really want to continue to watch Scott lead this type of team year in and year out? Do I really believe he is on his way to top tier, toe to toe, chess match coaching against the Nick Sabans of the world? No.. Not even close. What am I hoping for with Scott at the helm? My answer was not much. I'm heartbroken over this failure. I'm even more heartbroken that Scott knew he wasn't equipped to lead this program from day 1. He never wanted to come here for the state because I truly believe he knew deep in the depths of his soul he didn't have the coaching chops go toe to toe with the big boys.

I agree with the assumption that we can not expect the dominance like we had, but I disagree that our ceiling is 9 wins. The passion and commitment this state has invested into it's university teams will lead to limitless success ceilings in my opinion. Look no further than the women's volleyball program. It is ABSOLUTELY possible to churn out a dominant program from this location. I do not see any reason we can not be in the conversation year in and year out with the OSU's, Oklahoma's, Georgia's of the world. It takes the right leadership.. We haven't had that in a long, long time. I'm not convinced we do at this point, either, but the only thing limiting our program is a power coach with his/her s#!t together. Don't settle!!!!

Both teams would lose by 3.

Maybe.. Today he was 9-20, 101 yards. But they won by 35 because little was needed from him, and if that is cool with him then good deal. His QB rating averaged 138 at NU.. He was 87.5 today. W's matter to kids.

KSU looks better for sure. Long season ahead still.

Again, there is no comparing BIG12 defenses to those in the BIG10. KSU has 140 total yards at half. Adrian completing 55% of his passes for a total 60 yards. Certainly, he is fitting in well, but to pretend they are a juggernaut just isn't true.

He won't ever be shunned by the state at all. We all love him, you don't scorn those you love. You chalk it up like a disappointed parent whose kid tried to become an actor instead of an engineer and it didn't work out. He will absolutely be known as the player that did great, the coach that failed miserably, and you can stop by an watch a football game any time you want, Scott, but it'll be a few years after you leave until it's going to be worth your time!

In basketball you almost never see a decommit. Even more rare is a decommit that comes to the original school. Pretty safe to say he’s never going to play here

I'm numb to hopeful excitement these days.

Daniels, Allen, Stille, Domann, etc.

Any of those dudes actually make a practice squad?

Listen.. If Rhamir isn't the best option we have at any position on the field for any given play, than he shouldn't be on the field for that play. He's no different than anybody else. We all love the guy, he gave us some of the few opportunity's last year we had to actually cheer for something on the offensive side of the ball. But bell cow he is not. Hope they find some packages to get him on the field a bit, but big boy ball is big boy ball. When it comes to scheme, when you don't fit, you sit.

He's ugly.. So no.

I think with NIL money some of these guys will end up regretting the decision to try to jump to the NFL if they are honest. I'm almost certain they all thought they'd land on and NFL team when they declared and I'd bet at least ten dollars that they all wish they'd be out there with wearing red if they could have a do over. Just like Frost wishes he didn't know what an onside kick was. The problem is, in life, sometimes there are big kid decisions with no do-overs. You have to be extra careful with those ones.

My coffee just came out of my nose....

I think player evaluation is probably just fine with the state of the current program. Most of the guys we bring in are sought after by programs of similar levels and we seem to land a few that are wanted by programs in better current positions than us. I think he is poor at development, and the reason for that is that he hitched himself to cut rate staff.

Trev and Frost are not linked. Trev trying to make the best out of a s#!t situation at this time.

Makes perfect sense. Rhamir is a good Duck-R option. Frost just needs to realize, Whip don't Duck-R.

The book is out on how to beat AM.. Apply pressure and force him to throw, knowing he will make mistakes. SD didn't have the horses to do that. What I did see was a KSU team that was able to take some of the load off of him with a run game and great special teams play. That will go miles toward making him more successful in the w/l column. If they guy wanted to have a good senior season with more wins than he would likely garner here at NU, a less physically taxing season with less weight on his shoulders, and the ability to crash at night with the woman he loves, then by all means, this is a great situation.. If the guy was hoping to flex for NFL scouts and position himself for future drafts/career, it's not likely to help there. SF sold him the ability to scheme entire games around him. 4 years later, I presume KSU sold him on the ability to scheme games that barely needed him..

You have to know what wins feel like to have that burn. These guys don't win so they don't have that passion. When you lose at the rate they do, you have to become clinical. It's the best you can do when the other best option is to not show up at all. They have to be numb to exist at this point. Which is why chronic losing is so hard to manage or change. For me, it's the core argument going against Frost sticking around. They boys can't lie to themselves anymore about being a great team with some bad breaks that just needs to put it together next week. When week after week look the same, the lie stops working internally. The only fix is huge change, if only to at least reset the lie.

We are all still too happy with Jim Tressel being here so it's hard to get real excited about commenting on situations like this.
