Look, Frost isn't getting it done, but no you absolutely cannot say the same thing about any of those coaches.

 

I'm not making excuses for Frost. It's the job, he isn't getting it done, period. But that context is real whether people are happy with it or not.

Didn’t Pelini lose his dad a few weeks before the 08’ Gator Bowl?

Looks like coolers heads are starting going to prevail as more than 55% of the vote is for not firing Frost as it should be. There is definitely a group of people that just overreact to everything and just come on to the message boards to cry and rant. Nice to see a strong majority can think for themselves and be influenced by these individuals. 

Clearly overreacting…ah yes.

Frost most talented team (he said it & we all agree) in year four and they’re sitting at 3-5, got beat by the worst team in the B1G, can’t get up for games and will be lucky to win 1 more game. Clearly we’re overreacting

So honest question- If Nebraska wins 3 of their next 4 and makes a bowl game, would you be in favor of making a coaching change?

They’re not going to win 3 of the next 4 games. This team couldn’t beat a bad Illinois team and get up for a bad Minnesota team in a must win game.

I was semi optimistic after the Michigan game, still upset with Martinez’s fumble even though I thought his forward progress had stopped. 
 

But to come out for a must win Minnesota game, a Minnesota team that isn’t very good, to play so poorly because you weren’t  “up” for that game and a lot of the play calling took what little optimistic view I had with the team, shattered it into a million pieces and now I’m in full blown apathy mode. I don’t have enough “juice” to watch another game this year, I just don’t care about this team. 
 

We’re gonna have another losing season making that now 6 losing seasons in 7 years. The coaches and players just don’t seem smart enough to fix the mistakes they’ve continued to make from their previous games and years prior.
 

I’ve seen enough from this all talk excuse making coaching and go find someone worth a damn that will coach a discipline and fundamental football team.

These are some good callouts by Sean Callahan...and it was obvious something was amiss when Martinez wasn't taking off when he could have scrambled for 5, 7, 10+ yards at times and instead went with the pass. If Martinez was hurt...why are we not going with Smothers? If Martinez was out of practice this whole week and gimpy, it may also explain why his throws were off too--many of those balls, Smothers could hit, right?

 

I'm not calling for Smothers to permanently replace Martinez...but one must look at the decision making and wonder what's going on. If a gimpy Martinez is better than a 100% Smothers, then what does that say about our QB development? Or decision making on the offensive side of the ball? 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s probably decision making on the offensive side of the ball.

Do the players have trust issues with the offensive coaches? Could be why we keep losing some key players over the years on offense and why they voted against playing in a bowl game.

We're goin 6-6 ez. Yall fans might be cold in the crisper, but this aint even chilly to my man Frosty.

What have you seen this year to believe we’ll win 3 more games? 
We’ll be lucky to win 1 more

It’s Karma catching up to us for firing two coaches that never had a losing season

4th and the length of my willy at the goal line and you don’t line up under center? He’ll put a damn DT or Yant in at fullback and run it at them proving that we can be a physical team. That’s what cost this team the win today. You score that, momentum was diffidently on our side and that could’ve created the spark or boost this team needed. 
 

Two years ago we saw Mills line up at fullback, not sure who at RB and Martinez under center and we haven’t seen anything like that since.

Does Frost really want to turn this program around?

Okay, tell me this, during games I make small talk with the ref closest to me on the sidelines.  I think they find me witty and clever but they probably don't.  I never b!^@h about the game, I just chat with them.

 

Is that okay?

Wouldn’t bother me and if it wasn’t a Varsity game I would probably make some small talk with ya. I’ll usually talk to the guys or students running the chains during the lower level games if I’m on that side.

I would hate to be a ref.  Have any of you guys done it?

 

I have done baseball and hated it.  I have been asked to ref middle school football but there is no chance.  It is miserable and I know I would be horrible at it.

My dad has been officiating since 89, my uncle since the 90’s and I’ve been officiating since 05. My uncle has done a State championship game in Memorial stadium while the furthest my dad and I have been was a semifinal game. I don’t mind it but when it gets to be the last game or two of the season I’m ready to be done. The constant b!^@hing from fans, coaches and players gets tiresome thinking we’re trying to screw ‘em over, missed calls and to be gone most of the day and not get home till 11 or later to only get paid $120 at the most sometimes isn’t worth it. I got paid $100 to officiate a varsity game down a man (he had covid) so there’s 4 of us and the game went into OT and got over at 10:30
 

College officials have it a little easier with having 2 extra officials, replay and not to mention they make like $3,000 per game. They honestly should add one more official to help watch the line

I don’t know what else to do on a Saturday when Nebraska football is on but one thing is for sure, unless these coaches and team have a come to Jesus moment in the next few weeks, I won’t watch another game the rest of this year.  Maybe I’ll work on my house?  Maybe I’ll stare at a wall?  It all sounds so good compared to not watching this s#!t show anymore.  Confusing times.  How would/will you spend your Saturday?  Or would you rather continue living actual hell?

I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I got season tickets….it’s gonna be hard for me to find people to buy them now

Nebraska is cursed.

Firing two coaches that had winning records with no losing seasons will do that

So glad I changed my name after the Illinois loss….pretty fitting right now

That’s nice, but what good does it do? 
maybe educate the officiating crew? 

For one the crew could get suspended or fired. 
 

I know this outcome may not be in our favor scoreboard wise but it could benefit future schools from having this officiating crew officiate their future B1G games. I don’t want to see that crew in future games

Word is the B1G got back to Nebraska on the plays they submitted and told them that the OPI should not have been called and the illegal forward pass also should not have been called and let replay look at it to see if there was an issue.

I’ve seen this tweeted by fans but I haven’t seen any confirmation by those who actually work for HOL

Laugh all you want about Greg Schiano but the guy has already rebuilt the bottom dweller Rutgers within a year something that Frost still hasn’t accomplished in year 4….YEAR 4. Take some time and check out Rutgers 2022 recruiting class and rankings. Spent a few years under Urban Meyer and is a pretty solid coach 
 

Both Penn State and Ohio State also came forward defending Schiano and stating that he had nothing to do with the scandal at Penn State. The national sports pundits absolutely obliterated Tennessee for how they handled the Schiano hire/fire and their overreaction to the social media hit on Schiano. 

One name to throw out is Greg Schiano

Thanks Mavric

They might have to hold a lottery for that name.

With the current state of Husker football, I would like to change my name from Dewiz to Apathy 

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I like many of you, was all in on Frost but for me that came to a screeching halt yesterday. I turned off the game when Nebraska failed to get anything going on offense after Illinois marched it down our throats eating up 7+ minutes off the clock to go up 23-9, cause I’ve seen this show before. 
 

Now if Frost so happens to pull this season off escaping 7-5 (doubtful) and keeping his job he needs get ride of the dead weight. Said dead weight would be:

Ryan Held - what has he accomplished since here? He passed up on Breece Hall to take Ronald Thompkins and Rahmir Johnson. Since Ozigbo none of our RB’s have accomplished jack squat 

Greg Austin - No much to say there. Both run and pass blocking have been inconsistent these past 4 years. Matt Farniok looks like a better blocker w/ the Cowboys than he ever did at Nebraska

Mario Verduzco - What does this guy actually do? Martinez has regressed since 18, recruiting Luke that was clearly not a D1 QB and our best QB now plays at Rutgers who beat our the 2nd string QB that just beat us 

All and all I don’t see Frost surviving after this year and most it is due to the fact that he’s stuck at the hip with Martinez and refused to go after a transfer QB to push Martinez. I say throw the checkbook at Fickell or Campbell and tell them to fill it out. 

I’m gonna file this under a new helmet. I’ve never seen pockets/vents whatever you wanna call them on top of the helmet like that before. 
 

Also I’m sure he has lots of former teammates that play at Oregon St that he’s still friends with. 

Some positive news...I’m sure this is what those cryptic tweets Chinander and Austin shared are all about.
