It's the can anything be worse than what we had this year? There was much more bad than good with TA this year Of course they can. Did you watch Purdue? Did you watch Iowa? I would say Tommy had a much worse day

Agreed that Iowa is making it work. But I'm thinking it's more so a product of having a system in place since every recruit has walked through those doors. Ott is most likely the only one who would be starting. There's been plenty of misses on Neb kids getting scholarships that never panned out.

You need a different hobby Prolly think the last staff was better than this one too Nope...the last staff was brutal So you judge the staff we have now based on 1 year performance?

With the core of players we have coming back I like our chances in just about every game except TOSU. Oregon isn't as scary without Adams at the helm and Kirk will have a typical Kirk year and go 5-7.

Pretty tough to compete with this and the warm weather

And Oregon. they return everyone that is impactful and they will upgrade at LB due to some juco recruiting. They return everyone that is "impactful" BUT they need to replace the QB. Does not compute. And upgrading LB in one year due to juco (or HS) recruiting isn't a sure thing for any program. Yes it is. You obviously don't know how bad the LBs have been...and I do. Anything is an upgrade from those guys The DTs and LBs were the strength of the defense this year. Not sure what you've been watching

Vernon Adams wasn't exacly a scrub to throw back there. Three year starter at Eastern Washington who would have beaten Oregon this year if he hadn't transferred. Actually he played against Michigan State in week 2 as well. The only teams in which they played a team with a good defense they struggled with (Michigan State, and Utah). PAC 12 is pretty weak on the defensive side

This gets posed all the time, and frankly I think it's a dumb question. Him being a Nebraska native that played here is part of his resume to look at as a potential head coach at Nebraska. He's a great coach in his own right, but him being a hometown boy that knows the culture, a former player that knows the program, and a good man that would embrace the values and the characteristics of the state are important. Would Michigan have hired Brady Hoke if he wasn't a Michigan Man? Would Urban have jumped back into coaching for any job other than his homestate school? You don't think Bama will come calling to Dabo Swinney when Saban hangs it up? Would Pat Fitzgerald or Mike Gundy have essentially lifetime job security if they didn't play at NW or OSU respectively? So a good reason for the Frank Solich hire is because he played here? Or to have Turner Gill here as a head coach. Would it be great to bring back the hometown kid who won a national championship?? Sure, but I don't need a hometown kid for me to feel better about the program. I just want the coach who is going to win here. He has ZERO head coaching experience this year and the last couple years he's called plays he had arguably the best QB in the NCAA. Let's see what he can do on his own before we crown him. Lawrence, I didn't realize they gave you internet access in the hole, and are you still mad that Frosty started banging Kate McEwen after you and her broke up? No problems with Frost. I'm a 27 year old fan so I was just a youngin when Frost was playing at Nebraska. Just guess I'm not a real big fan of hiring a guy just because he lived and went to school at NEB. I get it he had success at Oregon with a Heisman winning QB. I think the timing was pretty good for him because he was looking at the QB depth chart for Oregon and saw what was coming in the next couple years. I think Frost has one of the strongest resumes of all the assistant coaches in Division 1 football. He played for two legendary coaches who ran pretty different offenses. He played both offense and defense at the college level, and had great success at NU. He played a few years in the NFL at safety, including playing for Bill Parcells. He served as a co-DC at Northern Iowa and then OC at Oregon. His parents are also long-time coaches. Simply put the dude had a great resume. I know a great resume doesn't make a great coach, but I am confident he will do very well. So if he had such a strong resume then why go to UCF? This is one of those disagree moments where I see you as a Frost "bring back the glory days" and you see me as Frost hater I guess I would have to ask...what on his resume would not be strong? Lack of HC experience is probably it, right? I think going to UCF is a brilliant move. Recruiting is "easy" by that I mean, even after FSU, Miami and UF get the guys they want you still have plenty players left for a solid class each year. Expectations are super low: win 5 games next year and you are "amazing" get to a bowl game and you are "super terrific amazing" I wouldn't exactly say the recruiting is easy as they just went 0-12. Also they just playing in and won a BCS bowl not to long ago so I wouldn't say expectations are super low. To me he is the guy who road the coat tails of Marcus Mariota. Just as a Charlie Weiss, or a Josh McDaniels did of a Tom Brady for example. It didn't matter who was going to call the plays at Oregon the offense was still going to run smoothly with Mariota at the helm.

I think if Frost does well at UCF, he becomes one of the "up and coming" head coaching prospects in college football. He is very well known in the college football ranks, based on his playing days at NU and him getting pretty good jobs in his relative coaching youth. Think Jim Harbaugh. 11 years ago he got the University of San Diego head coaching job. He then went to Stanford and so on. Harbaugh might have been more well known with his NFL career, but he was roughly the same age when he got his first head coaching job at USD. You didn't answer my question

Serious question here. If he didn't grow up or play for NEB would anyone seriously want to hire him for the NEB job?? I guess the real question is would half of you even know who he was if he was just the Oregon OC

Bill Belechik was also a complete failure in his first head coaching job. Just sayin' Belichick was a sub .500 coach until he got Brady It's about the Jimmys and the Joes not the X's and O's

I've left little to no tips before for sh**ty service. Take pride in your job and take care of the customer and you'll get your money

Well when he doesn't have much success down in Florida people can still use the "he's a Nebraska guy?

This kid is HUGE

See...now you have 12 practices where you are spending all your defensive time getting ready for the flex-bone...something you basically won't see at all next season, so those practices are a bit wasted as for as development. With that said...I love watch AF and this would be sweet game! I wouldn't say it would be wasted practices. As long as there are players out on the field getting coached up I'm good with it

Or a decent offensive line

I sure wouldn't say Iowa is sticking it to us when we are getting their best prospect out of Iowa

The majority of husker fans don't really care rival or not. We just want to win games and Iowa is in our way now

Well the thread stated the last 35.......so you saying you would change places with Iowa?
