Or wait, is there a 2nd or 3rd string DE that is rumored to be leaving now?!?!?

I don't think Frost is wrong or anything for wanting to have the QB race settled. I don't think he's wrong for picking AM. I just think the idea that Gebbia could put in any more "work" and still win the job is just flat out wrong. For Gebbia to win the job at this point, AM would need to fail or to be injured - work and effort on Gebbias part has nothing to do with that.

Coach Frost: "we don't want a two QB system, I wouldn't want the starter looking over his shoulder, we want this settled before the season opener" Gebbia: "ok"

Parties are more fun when everyone can hear eachother. Thanks Landlord!

So, no? Coaches and universities (and any employer really) can do what is best for themselves, but Gebbia is out of line for making a life-decision for himself? Because of the timing? Life comes at you fast, blink.

Hypothetical, what if Frost is fired at the end of the season for chewing on campus/the sideline? Or leaves for another job like he did last season? Is Gebbia wrong if his current coaches leave? Is Gebbia wrong if he had stayed?

Yes, that would've been okay for Frost to do...... One size does not fit all. Maybe its best for some people top "stick it out", but thats definitely not the solution for everyone. Both universities seem to be doing ok for themselves anyhow.

* A 3-win Stanford team.... The dude couldn't earn the starting spot on a 3 win team. Weak.

Well no one ever claimed JP was a genus. Things haven't been going Gebbia's way ever since Riley was fired. Clearly his first reaction wasn't to transfer - that notion is just wrong. Gebbia battled for the job, and then the odds were stacked against him even more on Saturday. The definition of crazy is doing the same thing and expecting the results to change. It's a shame to see him go, but good to see that the guy has a head in his shoulders.

I don't think he would've reacted the same way either, but that has more to do with their differing situations rather than attitude or mental toughness imo. He certainly could've handled it differently, but it takes guts to put yourself out there like Gebbia did, he's taking a risk, he's blinking fast - it might not work out "better" for him, but I wouldn't call it rash. I wouldn't say he's giving up.

Maybe you heard something different, but I had heard that at the beginning of camp, but not after the first week. In hindsight I take it as AM having come into camp in better shape and having performed better the first few days before Gebbia and him started going back and forth.

We're Nebraska, we never give up. But yeah we did, he's running the scout team this season.

Well Diaco's certainly was silly.

If you use the stadium as a reference, you'll see that Martinez is a whole club level taller - which is quite a bit tbh.

From what I understand, Anderson was butting heads with Wisconsin to the point where he wanted to leave a top 10 program for Oregon State. He might not have been fired, but he was being squeezed in a lot of ways. I think the execution of it all was poorly managed, but I don't think the logic or intent was all that baffling.

Paul Chryst from Pitt to Wisconsin. Obviously a different situation, but still. And the odd part is, even in hindsight I think we were right to fire Bo. For as much as he deserved a shot as HC, he proved that he wasn't a good long term fit here either.

We're not supposed to rehash the past, and now your saying we shouldn't plan for the future.... Husker fans, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

It's important to remember that these same assistants would've been viewed as a poor hire 4 years ago though.... Not that anyone here is necessarily saying Frost should have been hired in place of Riley at the time, but the alternative to hiring Riley 4 years ago was hiring an unproven Frost & Friends, or hiring a coach who, theoretically, wouldn't have been fired after three years. Meaning Frost would be at Florida right now. Even if we had made a better selection than Riley 4 years ago, Frost would still be the best coach to be at NU. So it all worked out, and there are a lot less questions surrounding him and his assistants. It's full steam ahead, rather than a divided fan base and program - and even midway through last season, that wasn't the case with Frost in all circles.

That all?!?... I'd like to see 8 or 9 guys carry the ball by the end of the first quarter. Nebrasketball on grass.

Yeah I'm not concerned with him leaving this season, but if AM blows up like other Frost QBs of the past, then I half expect him to move on at the end on the year. At this time next season Frost will have 3 of "his guys" in the QB room, so unless Gebbia earns some real stripes on gamedays this season, I think it will be tough for him to ever be higher than 2nd on the chart. Can't fault him if he wants to play, I'm super glad to have him here though, hope he battles through it.

The idea of JD and Lindsay rotating off and on the field in one of our hockey lineups is really exciting. Probably won't happen this cleanly, but having Morgan, JD, and Bell one rotation, and Lindsay, Woodyard, and Washington the next would be a lot of fun to watch against any team. I just hope AM has quick eye lashes.

I like the idea of the flags, but it does come across as a hulk Hogan sort of entrance at times without know the entire backstory, so I can imagine how it would play with opposing teams fans who only watch us once or twice a year. I'd be happy if we got rid of the smoke machine.... I'd like it more of they put it under the stadium, at the locker room doors.

Yes we do.... And our coach is probably one of them. Time will tell.

That all might be true, but Pelini still represented the university and the conference very poorly. There are plenty of people still in place at UNL, Minn, the B10, and within the press-world that are really glad Bo is gone...... It was fun while Bo was here, but a parody Twitter account really isn't helping anything at this point.

We need Frost to embrace it..... And we also need for people to stop tagging FauxPelini with every tweet about it - then maybe the universities might be able to get behind it a little more.
