I already made up my mind. What I wrote is exactly how I feel regardless of what happens in the last two games. Fortunately, it is not my decision whether Frost comes back for another year or is let go. That is on Trev Alberts. At this point, Frost has had enough time to fix and tweak things. His record is not a coincidence in year 4. The team chokes every time we have a chance to win. On many occasions this season, he proclaimed that this is his best team. If you have your best team and cannot come up with a game plan to win at least half of our one score games, then that tells me you have nothing left in the tank. Take Illinois for example, we have twice the talented players they have (if not more), yet their first year coach managed to scheme game plans that beat us, Penn State, and Minnesota. Frost, in his fourth year, with his best team ever, cannot get to 6-6 and lost to Purdue, illinois, and Minnesota, and may lose to Wisconsin and Iowa. He is 1-6 in the weak BIG 10 west division. Our defense might be having its peak year. We will lose many veteran players this season. Our defense kept us in all our games. What will happen if we do not have a similar defense next year?
What I am trying to say is that Frost gave it his all and we have four losing seasons to show for it. All the fans wanted this season was for the team to at least finish 6-6 and go to a bowl. Yes, we lowered our expectations because we knew we had a very tough schedule. Yet, we did not even get that. So, the ship has sailed for me. We need a fresh start. Giving Frost one more year will not accomplish much. His players know he is on the hottest seat ever. Players like Yant, smothers, and stepp who are not getting playing time will enter the transfer portal and others may follow since they see a sinking ship. We reached a very difficult junction and I definitely do not envy Trev for being in this position. If it were me, I would part ways amicably and find the next coach who can develop the talent we have and give them a chance to win and succeed with an easier schedule next season.
