Huskers93-97

18-19 is better than 12-21. By your logic we should have kept Riley he was 19-19. we have no idea what his 18-19 looked like. It might have looked like a well disciplined team who lost to better teams. Easy to stick with things looking to trend in the right direction. We are not

Yeah I dont hold NFL success or lack thereof against a college coach. Spurrier and Saban sucked at the pros but were great in college.

How many other coaches out there could we get that have won a Natty. This is prob the only one.

No it just means we have sucked at hiring. Fired solich. Hired a guy who just got fired, hired a guy with no head coaching experience, hired a career 500 coach, hired an inexperienced unproven coach. Not really sure why we are surprised by our results that last 20 years.

I thought we would be done with gif's like this after we got rid of Riley. But here we are.

Man I agree with what you said. If we are going to stand by Frost, I can get behind that but we need a complete overhaul of his staff. Defense I could be convinced to keep that staff intact. But offense- EVERYONE goes.

I missed the first 49 pages, I’ll summarize. We still suck

Fresh Corn.

It is possible. It is also likely. It is also likely we have a bit of a dud class due to recent results on the field.

Yes, I just remember him having a hard on for USC and Miami in the early 2000's. He would list off like half of their roster as the reason they were the best teams ever.

We are officially f#&%ed. Mark May has the worst take of anyone ever.

I agree. I still support Frost. But you can support Frost and still acknowledge the short comings of his job so far and the program in general. Too often on this board some posters think frustration and criticism of the program means you are against Frost and or the program.

I give it less than an hour and someone will try to explain to you that is only because recruiting services are behind on ranking players due to no camps.

That could be true. Which I think sometimes what side of the fence(excuses vs reasons) you are on depends on what your expectation was. I think many expected Frost to come in and be this generational coach. We heard how we was the next Nick Saban etc. So I think when that kind of hope and expectation gets put out there people obviously have high standards. Now a coach of the caliber of Saban, Meyer and those generational coaches would turn things around quicker, they would have bad s#!t happen and over come it. Frost has not overcome most of these issues. So perhaps it may just be true that Frost may turn out to be a good coach- but he is probably not the next Osborne, Saban type of guy we hoped we were getting. I hope this is the year that turns it all around and we get on the right path with a projection towards future conference championships and national championships. I think sometimes it is easier to accept things as a reason vs an excuse if you are a proven coach and winner. It is more believeable because you have seen them succeed and overcome things. Frost is not proven as a head coach so they sound more like excuses. After this year if it is more of the same I hope those of you who side with reason start to see they may be excuses.

I get it. But everyone deals with departures. Its not exclusive to Nebraska. The transfer portal is hurting every P5 team in America. So since all teams are dealing with the same issues. That just sounds like an excuse to me.

From the athletic. We are #7 in the country for having the biggest disparity between recruiting rankings and on field results since 2017. We are the only blue blood on this list. Florida State and Tennessee are borderline. Underachievers: Power 5 TEAM RANK 247 +/- 1 Arkansas 103 30 -73 2 Rutgers 112 54 -58 3 Florida State 61 5 -56 4 Maryland 87 32 -55 5 UCLA 71 16 -55 6 Illinois 108 55 -53 7 Nebraska 76 25 -51 8 Tennessee 62 13 -49 9 Vanderbilt 99 51 -48 10 Kansas 117 70 -47 Well, there it is. The Power 5 programs that are doing less with more since 2017. If your favorite team made this list, you can’t act too surprised. The common theme among the top 10 is fairly obvious, too. Each program has gone through at least one head coaching change since 2017, and a few have experienced multiple firings.

I was just responding mostly to your quote about magically getting good players. My point was it sounds like we now have good players and they have been in the program developing physically for a few years. So we dont need any magic. Supposedly they are here.

Osborne recently said it looks like we have the players to compete with anyone. So if we only win half or less of our games whats the excuse? Are you going to say Osborne doesnt know what winning talent looks like? He said it is up to the coaches what they get out of that talent.

Frost is averaging 4 wins per season. I don't think there is any room to take a massive step backwards. I don't see how we could go much further backwards.

I think trying to put an exact number of wins to the season to define it as a success here in July is not realistic. I think it all depends how those wins and losses look. I think at the end of the year most people will have a feel of if the team is trending in the right direction or still treading water. Until the year is done we don't know. The schedule could be as tough as it is on paper right now. Or some teams might not be as good as their preseason ranking. We all know preseason rankings don't mean crap majority of the time. I am hopeful for the season but I am reserving further judgement until this year is over. No more excuses about Riley or what was inherited. Year 4 is time to turn the corner.

Dude its been like 20 years since we won games at that level.

Anyone that has watched all the games under the Frost tenure would probably agree we looked the best the 2nd half of year 1. Simple way to put it- under the Frost tenure has there been a period that other teams actually had a concern or worry in playing Nebraska? The 2nd half of year 1 other teams were concerned with us. Urban Meyer essentially said that. Nebraska was a dangerous team. We actually threatened Ohio State that year. Ohio State has not been threatened by us since.

Did anyone actually have anything negative to say after the 1995 Season? I find that hard to believe.

I agree. I think Tom Osborne actually just gave a recent speech where he said the talent is here to compete with anyone. It is up to the coaches what they get out of that talent. So I think Tom Osborne agrees too. It's time.

Go ahead and name a few top recruits this cycle who think we have things headed in the right direction. Kids who feel so strongly that Frost has things headed in the right direction that they have committed? What I mean is competitive P5 schools have offered them also. Not bottom feeder P5 schools. But the types of schools we want to look at as our peer.
