I have found it refreshing to see fans speak up early. It's not like we didn't hear a large volume of "coachspeak". The bloviation continues at an alarming pace. It would have been far different if Frost was stating that the players aren't working hard, don't seem ready, etc. The reality is he sells massive improvement and then squander a lead with his same miscues. He will still get his 4-5 wins and nestle in nicely into a 4-8 or 5-7 team. He will probably be the 5-7 team of all-time if history repeats itself. Go Big Red.

Didn't a few of those recruiting classes get blown up? Also, the 4* type players have usually been skill positions who also leave. The DE or DL type guy we recruit is usually a 2nd to 3rd tier type who is more of a "flyer" than anything else. When you couple that with little development you get what we got ... vanilla.

Yes, I believe you are correct there. The difference in view is what happens if he meets his metrics. From the article I read on Hail Varsity: If Frost and the football team achieve “metrics mutually agreed to by the parties (next year),” his salary will return to $5 million for 2023 and he will receive a one-year contract extension through Dec. 31, 2027.

It basically goes back to what it was prior ... oh, and he gets another year added to his contract. So, to keep him is to actually be in the same situation for an additional year. They really set it up as a "Win" for Scott. Yes, we save some in one season ... but if we keep him then it all goes back to what it was prior and he gets another year.

I would be fine with firing Scott today. For me, it would be the best opportunity for the team to see how many games could be won without his hand in the cookie jar. If he stays, at least banish him to the booth or give him a clipboard. He doesn't get to make any ST calls nor call plays. With an interim coach like MJ, he would get two easy games and really 4/5 as pretty easy tests to see what we got in him. Whip would/should be good on his own and if at the end of the season you don't like what you got you hire above MJ. I won't rant against Scott, but to wait to the end of the season is to miss the better opportunity as I see it.

I was at 5-7 in my prediction prior and still am. I did believe we would win the NW game by 24. I thought we'd win and really amp up expectations. Obviously, that didn't happen. I'm surprised by this loss but with the easy schedule we are still on track for my prediction. A 5-7 record might be more of the ceiling but it was just one game. Feeling good here.

Scott was being "creative" in his own mind. :-) He likes to be creative.

Maybe the answer [since we were told the defense needed to have "Blackshirts" given out because they worked so hard] or solution is that we come up with "White Baby Diapers" to pass out to the starting OL for getting manhandled. They wear them during the next game as a reminder, "Oops, last time I crapped my pants". At worst, they at least get some extra padding on their butt where they often get knocked onto.

For me ... this type of statement comes off as "apologist". It's like Frost stating yesterday that "the offense needed to get a bit more creative". He makes it out like that was the problem ... when he bloviated all off-season about all his improvements. None was more clear than in his OL and DL. Those guys are working so hard they are throwing up in practices. Then, in a game they get manhandled by another bottom dweller team and have no push on D. At present, Knebraska is on it's was to a winless season. Ya, we know it won't happen because it's a puff schedule. I think it's worse because Frost has set himself up to state that there has been so much improvement ... but the game film and score shows the facts. I don't know why anyone wants to justify it ... but they do. What gives?

Yep, and I think I would respect him more for that then coming to Knebraska under Frost. Kid would be an absolute idiot to at this point. Obviously, he's not as he's positioned his way through the gaslighting of Frost and will be able to justify his direction. It only took one game. I know our fan base wants to mock a coach from five [5] years ago an some of his stupidity ... but it feels strange when we are sittin' in the filth of Frost.

Is there any need to have any given out for next game?

Was there a true Blackshirt out there today?

It would best serve us if he went to a B1G school like NW, Iowa or Wisky. He would look great at OSU or Michigan.

It's called "gaslighting". He's got a chance to be the best 2-10 team in the country.

We have a new coach coming. It's a bit earlier than I would have thought. Coaching still has blunders. OL can't block. DL can't force pressure. Defense can't tackle. Abad Special Teams call. Didn't see any transfer portal players really stand out. We are KNebraska.

There's a Knebraska ball!

Well ... I've heard all off-season about "how much better" we are. Hey Big Red ... here's your chance. It's Win and stay or Lose and go home. Let's do it and save the season already.

Two plays in a row with blocking. Nice.

This game is already a good example of why Blackshirts would best be given out after a few games and earned.

Yes and amen.

Still no OL push really.

I didn't wet my pants over it. At 3-9, I would have been fine waiting and letting the games leading up to the OU game and then announced who I felt was deserving of the blackshirt moving forward into the next game. If the guys need this done now to sorta puff them up ... we are in trouble.

It's a 24 point win. Easy shmeezly [hey, that's Jewish, ha ha]. I'm confident that we start it off with a fantastic win that really heightens the idea that we are back and with the easy schedule will take the year by storm. I'll be hopeful for more of my BigRedN avatar and less of the BigBlackK avatar.

First time I have heard this. Enjoyed.
