  1. Yea, we have always been a handful of major big massive mistakes away from winning the game for four years now. Lets be really clear....we the fans are not asking for Alabama level of play here. We are asking for things to happen that normally happen 99.99% of the time for every other team like....don't field the ball for a safety or make your PATs or don't throw the ball right into your opponents hands or don't drop the ball on the ground right in front of your opponent or run the ball in the red zone or don't go 3 and out 90% of the time on offense or score points in every half or manage your time outs and clock management to win rather than lose etc. In other words we are asking for minimal competent game management by the coaches and average performances from the players. We are not asking for perfection nor do we expect perfection (90s level or Bama level) probably for the rest of our lives.
  2. No Scott, we lost excitement at the start of the 2019 season.
  3. Scott must have missed those meetings. Matt Lubick will be a massive upgrade as interim, if that tells you anything. Ding ding ding, tell him what he has won! The problem is that Frost was using this as an excuse for the poor performance. If either one is anticipated, then why not be fully prepared for both? Iowa has not played OSU since 2017 which they lost 54-24 (they play them in 2022). Meanwhile we have played OSU in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and will finally get a break from playing them in 2022 and 2023 which will line up perfectly with our new HC coming in and not getting blown out by OSU right out of the gate.
  4. We won't be talking about practice once NU gets a coach who knows what he is doing.
  5. You would be surprised how many ears would perk up when the words "6-7 million dollars a year" are spoken.
  6. How does Frost know that practice translates 100% to game day performance? Has he cracked a code that nobody else knows about? There are players who may have size, height, and speed advantages over everyone else on our team but are sitting out the game because they did not look as good as someone who is slower, smaller, and shorter during practice? Not only are we shooting ourselves in the foot with major blunders which causes us to lose games we should easily win, but we are not even fielding the best talent that we recruit. What a mess.
  7. There is no way the team that was almost blown out by Illinois and BB who has not been HC of a football game in 3 years and who brought in a back-up QB who was rejected by Rutgers is going to have even a remote shot at beating the likes of Michigan, Iowa, or Wisconsin. Trust me when I say this....Every. single. fan. coach. and player in the B1G is rooting for Scott Frost and co. to 'have a little more time'. Because as time passes we are getting worse. Time to stop the bleeding and put the fires out and start a rebuild with a long-term proven HC from a solid football program (we have not had one of these with Mike or Frost). The Frost Titanic is sinking and there are fans on the deck saying "why are you leaving! We can still save the ship!", meanwhile Captain Frost himself is already in a life boat.
  8. Pretty sure the failed Frost experiment comes to an end after the OU game.
  9. Once Matt Lubick becomes our interim HC, we will be immediately better.
  10. Frost is getting paid $96,153 PER WEEK. He should be the first to show up and last to leave every time. TO would typically be the last to leave Memorial Stadium (late in the evening) besides the janitors/security after a home game.
  11. A gift from the B1G Admin. Many more to come for us burning the bridge between NU and the B1G. One more thing to thank Frost and Moos for as they each drive away with a semi-truck filled with cash.
  12. It is painfully obvious Frost does not want to be here anymore.
  13. Because Frost's future self is here and his mind is already there.
  14. Bottom line: Frost cannot coach into success at this level. He would be a minor conference super star, but at the big boy power conference level, he just cannot do it. He has been out-coached by brand new coaches many times now and the majority of the B1G coaches do circles around him. We have to find a guy who can hold his own and coach his way into victories rather than defeats. Endless massive mental blunders by upper class men is indicative of poor coaching. I predict an immediate change in the quality of football we see on the field when we get a new HC (take your pick).
  15. I don't see Mitch walking away from from Jim who wins them on average 9-10 games a year. He is their Bo, and they have witnessed what happens to your football program when you send off your 9-10 win golden goose as we did.
  16. How many struggling football coaches in NU history have had a new boss (AD) come in and have also kept their job the following year/season? Not many.
  17. He should already have one at this point.
  18. When Frost gets fired this year. FIFU. My personal prediction is right after OU drops 70+ on us. Matt Lubick will take over as interim HC for the rest of the season and my W/L prediction posted in another thread still stands.
  19. We lost by 8 points. Britt gifted them 2 points for a safety that should of never happened. The Refs gifted them 7 points (reversed an interception because we touched their QB???...what a f&*$%#* joke!) Lost two points because we cannot make the point after the TD. Score minus all of the poorly coached/refed bulls&$% NU 24 ILL 21 Forgot about the scoop and score that our first ever 4 time Captain gifted ILL so score would actually be: NU 24 ILL 14 Defense played well enough to win the game. Offense played s*&$^# enough to lose the game. Special teams continues to be terrible. We continue to make MASSIVE mental errors that cost us wins. I think we are all in agreement that this is solely on coaching. Same ole same ole.
