From what I saw, JD and Wandale were pretty much the exact same size. A few years ago, I had a class with JD and he couldn't have been more than 5'8". Probably more like 5'7" 170 if I had to wager. With that said, I think a lot of the athletes are generously listed when it comes to their heights and weights at NU, even the taller guys. And, I'm not saying that JD and Robinson (or any players like them) had no place on the team either. They were great players and would have been able to have been better utilized if there was more around them. That's not their fault, this staff has ultimately failed at getting more (and bigger) offensive weapons on the field up to this point. Hopefully that's changing now. For the record, NU needed more size. Although this notion that they should abandon the Duck-R/small shifty receiver seems a bit short-sighted to me. Why can't you have both? Pretty sure the most successful NFL franchise of the last 20 years has pretty much always featured some small quick guys (Welker, Edelman, Woodhead...etc.) as fairly significant parts of their offenses. And I'd venture to say Bill Belichick knows a bit more about football than any of us do.

So much this. In my opinion, coaching cost last year's team 2-3 games, easily. Yet, it was largely attributed to the losing culture created by Riley and his staff. Despite how bad Riley sucked...the 2018 team could have (and probably should have) made a bowl game. It hasn't been kosher to criticize Frost until relatively recently. But damn, this is on him. People want to blame the assistants, and they may be bad, but Frost hired them and it's his offense has been inconsistent garbage all year.

The routine is really getting tired. It's the same sh#t every single week and literally nothing changes lol

Kind of a strange thing to split hairs on. This type of excuse has been floated around to excuse Frost’s mediocrity at Nebraska. Like maybe not those exact words every single time but it’s been implied. A lot. I think it’s safe to say Frost has not met expectations, to say the least.

We've all heard the excuses, the lack of talent, everything's Riley's fault...etc. But how many games the last two years has this team blown due to poor in-game coaching? Still hopeful but it's hard to be optimistic when Frost looks so in over his head.

Can Dedrick Young please graduate?

Martinez? If they had named Gebbia the starter, Martinez would almost certainly still be here. Gebbia had already burned his redshirt and was not an ideal fit for the system, I wasn't surprised at all that he transferred. If Burrow came here and started, Martinez still could've been a starter for three years, in a system perfectly suited for him.

They could've gone after Burrow. It's not exactly like it's impossible to find a mobile grad transfer or JUCO during the offseason, it could have been done. Also, I never said Gebbia has no blame for the current quarterback situation, I'm saying Frost deserves most of the blame. It's really not that complicated and criticizing Frost doesn't make you a hater.

I'm not saying Frost should've done it in Spring but he could've left himself more than a week. Gebbia did what many college football players do, he transferred, it may have been selfish but I don't blame him. Martinez is going to keep improving and Gebbia is never going to be able to run like that, why should Gebbia have stayed then? The deck was stacked against him. This situation is on Frost for handling it poorly, quarterbacks transferring is always a possibility in today's game, don't leave yourself with no time to fix it.

When did I say that? Frost knows this offense works better with a running quarterback, there's a reason he went with a true freshman who has had injury problems and hasn't played in two years. I'm not sure why they didn't go after a transfer who was a better fit when they had the chance to, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I know we're still in the honeymoon period with Frost but I think he has handled the quarterback position rather poorly since taking over. It blows my mind that they waited so long to name a starter and then were left with basically nothing (aside from Martinez) when Gebbia transferred. They easily could have found another quarterback during the spring or summer.

Hindsight being 20/20, this looks like a real wtf decision. But it still looked like a good one going into 2010/11...we all know Pelini flamed out and couldn't deal with the B1G. That said, after Bo and Miles, I'm not sure Osborne influencing any more coaching searches is a good thing.
