New offensive coaches, new QB, subpar O-line, a lot lost on D, favorable schedule... 6-6.

I would hire Joe Brady. His title was Passing Game Coordinator/Wide Receivers at LSU in 2019 when LSU won the National Championship, Joe Burrow won The Heisman by the largest margin in the history of the award after breaking several NCAA FBS records including most touchdown passes (60) & highest passer rating (202.0) and Mickey Joseph was the Wide Receivers Coach. Brady was most recently the Offensive Coordinator for the Carolina Panthers of the NFL and he is currently only 32 years old.

Here is another example where AM could throw the coaches, o-line, special teams (field goal kicker, punter, punt returns, kick returns, Frost for not hiring a special teams coach) and refs under the bus but he bears the brunt of the blame and keeps working hard to get better. Offenses designed around QB runs are not my preference, but it would be interesting to see what he could have done with (at the very least) a coach with average competence and average offensive line & special teams play. Unfortunate Frost does not understand risk and reward and has not learned from previous seasons that AM needs to stay healthy to be effective and QB's in an offense designed around QB runs don't last full seasons in the B1G. For example, Nebraska was up 21-3 against Buffalo with 8:54 left in the fourth and the ball at the Buffalo 48 and Frost calls a QB run which exposed AM to a defender who twisted/spun him to the ground in the backfield. Considering the circumstances (opponent, score, game clock, field position, etc.) why risk letting your QB get hit/twisted/spun in that situation for a small reward? Bring in extra blockers and hand the ball to your third-string RB. Use AM's athleticism to move the pocket, keep passing plays alive with his feet (which he can do when healthy) or grab some yards and get down or out-of-bounds when there is nothing open downfield, but designed QB runs & hits (especially unnecessary QB runs & hits) should be significantly reduced. When AM is healthy he is a good passer, but health has never been there for a full season which, as alluded to, he could blame others but as a leader he takes the high road.

Just gonna leave this here...

Yep! NU has paid the second most "dead money" in the country to fired staff since January 1, 2010 and has a new $155 million training complex to pay for so Trev is leveraging the fan's loyalty to save money.

I already have a great job but if Husker Nation needs me then I can do both.

I am rooting for things to work out for Zac Taylor and the Cincinnati Bengals but if they don't then I would like him to be Nebraska's head coach.

A sum of 51% Nebraska loses and 49% Wisconsin wins.

It is not a laundry list of what any coach would want at every position. I said, "QB - preference on decision making and throwing from under center over running ability," which obviously is not what Frost wants. So yah bruh, you didn't realize this about your own team!?

Better than saying something generic like "spread," "option" or "power" considering there are many variations on those general schemes. OP and I came here to discuss football; you came here to be a hater.

Looking forward to watching Christo play and develop under Coach Jeff Christy.

This thread only asked for offense.

Frost just fired four offensive assistants; one being the offensive coordinator after less than two calendar years who is a long-time friend of Frost. The next OC will be the third in five years. Frost is on the hot seat heading into 2022, meaning this could be a one-year (or less) job for these assistants. Recruits (both high school and transfer portal) and parents of recruits know this, which is likely why Frost has only landed verbal commitments from two high-school recruits during the 2021 season. With the four offensive coaches being fired, attrition amongst last year's and this year's offensive recruits is likely to be high. And don't forget Frost is still under investigation by the NCAA. Given these current conditions, what quality of assistants do you think are actually interested in taking these jobs?

Congratulations and thank you for your service, Damian!

JoJo's words say it all. Best of luck to him on his future endeavors!

What Frost should and will do are likely two different things. Since OP asked, I would build the offensive scheme as follows: QB - preference on decision making and throwing from under center over running ability (running QB's don't survive seasons in the B1G and coach's with running QB's don't survive in the B1G), accurate (ball is where it is suppose to be, when it is suppose to be there), pocket presence (keeps plays alive with feet but continues to look downfield to throw), quick release, commands huddle, read defenses and make adjustments, leader, captain (sets standards, prepares team before game, holds guys accountable), short stop throwing ability (can make throws when the pocket is not clean) RB - versatile skill set (physicality, power, vision, ball security, pass block, route running and catching valued over straight-line top end, undersized track-speed) LT - pass blocking blind-side first, outside run blocking second, blocking in more open space/on the move, footwork, bend, length LG - strength (starting with footwork to win leverage) to dominate one-on-one's (lead blocking for running and pocket blocking for passing), defender is less likely to shed the initial block, can stand up to bull-rush, lead blocking C - leader, intelligent, makes adjustments based on how the defense (in particular the DL and LB's) aligns themselves, sets the tone (not a TE captain getting flags in key moments who is still unable to snap the ball), versatile blocker with few weaknesses rather than high's in some areas and low's in others, strength, consistency, reliable RG - strength (starting with footwork to win leverage) to dominate one-on-one's (lead blocking for running and pocket blocking for passing), defender is less likely to shed the initial block, run pulling, lead blocking RT - run blocking bulldozer at the line of scrimmage first, pass blocking second, size, nastiness (but in a sportsmanship way) TE - the true dual threat who can block AND catch (block like a tackle and run routes & catch like a possession receiver) https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/omari-murdock-254870 WR X - consistently beat one-on-one coverage for gains, big and strong to beat jams at the line of scrimmage and take advantage of corners doing so during run blocking, use body to box out defenders to create a target ("win a rebound"), catch radius, red zone target (high points fades), fights for extra yards, tough to bring down https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/jackson-fields-268953 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/chance-morrow-275055 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/anthony-black-257739 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/alex-perry-274211 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/will-futhey-269847 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/mekhi-collins-268908 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/noah-thomas-271218 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/dakota-twitty-253402 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/omari-murdock-254870 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/wyatt-sullivan-273114 WR Y (slot) - ability to create separation with quick bursts, quickness is more important than deep speed, catch in traffic/over the middle, can take a hit, smart (knows and takes what is needed on each play to keep drives alive rather than gambling for big plays), tough, gritty, "too small, undersized" (plays with chip on shoulder) https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/victor-rosa-270431 WR Z - deep threat, route running, stretches the safties, "center field" catching ability (high, deep balls), willing run blocker FB/HB - lead run blocking, blocking in more open space/on the move, running between the tackles, break tackles, truck defenders, catch short passes out of backfield https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/mikal-legall-234868 https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/c-j-miller-273609 https://www.hudl.com/profile/8103282/Yann-Longa-Ulrich https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/tayson-reid-272631
