The Whale

Under Frost, we have constantly had a QB room full of 2nd & 3rd stringers - no top tier QB's. Doubtful that any of our QB's would start for the top 50% of Big Ten teams and that's a problem. Frost's inability to evaluate, recruit, and have assistants who can coach-up QB's is a major contributor to us losing close games over the past four seasons. I'm not at all impressed with Thompson. Once non-bottom-feeder conference play starts, his talent level will be exposed. One bright spot - we might actually beat Iowa this year.

Maybe he should be "hands off" at this point (15-29 record in four seasons).

Frost's play-calling got us a 15-29 record over the past four season. I'd like to see how Whipple does without Frost's input.

Decent option, but I hope we don't pursue anyone else until we make a strong run at acquiring Urban Meyer. If the Urban deal can't be worked out, then move to tier-2 coaches.

At the time of his hire here, Frost was not a “proven” head coach. He had one good season leading a nothing team from a nothing conference. Hiring him was a huge gamble. We’re in the Big Ten now, not the Big Eight or Twelve — light years difference. Frost was the wrong hire from Day One.

Agreed. HCSF likely only needs another 3-4 more seasons to get us to a season with a .500 record or better.

My understanding is that HCSF was supposed to transition into more of a hands-off, big picture, CEO-like role (like most major college football programs operate). Grabbing the playbook from your new OC in the 7th quarter of the new season would be the opposite of that.

Maybe, but he’d right the ship in one season. One. And that is all I care about - his personal life is his business.

I think this is a rebuilding year. We’ll get ‘em in ‘27.

Best back we’ve had since Ahman Green. If only our OL was at least average in talent and effort.

Spot on. I do feel for Grant. If he played for Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Iowa, or Michigan State, he’d probably be 1st Team All Big-Ten this season. I just hope his offensive line doesn’t end up getting him hurt this year.

That’s called Desperation. Not a good look and will cause turmoil in the locker room. Can this guy do anything right?

Really? (BTW, I love the personal attacks, keep showing who you are) Trev Alberts was AD at tiny UNO, AND he played for TO, so OF COURSE he’s qualified to lead a Big Ten athletic department. (No other Big Ten school would have hired him). Scott Frost was Head Coach at nothing UCF, AND he played for TO, so OF COURSE he’s qualified to lead a Big Ten football program. (Maybe 2-3 of the Big Ten bottom dwellers would have hired him, but none in the top 70% of the conference would have). We might actually have the dumbest f***ing fanbase, donor class, and regents in the nation (on a relative basis) if people still don’t get that both Frost and Alberts are COMPLETELY out of their respective elements. Nebraska is a big time school in a big time conference with a football program history that is STILL revered by most who follow college football. Bottom line, we deserve the best for our state’s #1 entertainment export — and stewards who understand and embrace this.

And yet you posted in this thread. Have a great day, big guy.

Trev screwed up big-time by keeping Frost one more season, and by doing so he tethered himself to Frost - for better or worse. They should both be replaced after this dumpster-fire of a season is over. How about Tressel as AD and Urban as HC? I like it. I like it a lot.

Since we all know Frost is a narcissist, it is most likely the first of the two scenarios you shared. Trev should have fired him after last season, and because of that poor decision, both Trev and Frost should be replaced after this season.

I don't know, but if true, it looks like HCSF hired the wrong guy as OC...Oops! And if true, it's bound to cause some discontent in the locker room - players crave consistency and structure and IF HCSF did take over play calling on Saturday, he likely wrecked both of those things in the minds of many of the offensive players. Huskers were much more effective in moving the ball in the 2nd half. Maybe Frost and Whipple should swap jobs?

Urban is our answer: https://mbird.com/family/the-sad-hopeful-ballad-of-urban-meyer/

Since Georgia Southern is a predominately passing team, this should bode well for the Huskers next Saturday as our biggest weakness on D is against the running game.

Oklahoma 70 Huskers 10

In what imaginary world will we be playing in a bowl game after this season? K-State would FUBAR this year's Husker team.

I learned that next Saturday is the last probable win on this season's schedule, and Frost will likely be fired on Oct. 2nd or 3rd.

North Dakota is going to win this by 3 points.

38% chance we win one 26% chance we win two 11% chance we win three Less than 1% chance we win four 0% chance we win five or more I punched stats into our department's super computer to get those results.

$10 million even.
