In the Deed the Glory

Nobody was open before he started to scramble. Allen was the best option and he had a defender on his back. Somebody keeps trying to point out that the RB is open in the flat, but it's also likely his last check down and he's not looking back anymore when Martinez starts his scramble. He had less than 3 seconds to make a decision.

Doesn't matter.  At the end of the day, a 4 year starter has to make a better decision than an obvious intentional grounding in the end zone.

Everything else is an excuse.  Bottom line, that was a horrible play from somebody that should know better.

I’m going to add another name that could sneak up, Mario Cristobal. He seems like a Big 10 fit. His offense is built around the offense line in which he takes pride. His teams are physical, he recruits well, he would run to set up the pass. Has a competitiveness swagger that we frankly need back.

 

Don’t overlook him. He remembers when we were good. I think he has more of an old school feel that fits the Big 10 and wanting to play OSU, Michigan, Penn State.

Why in the hell would he leave Oregon to come here?

Any and all programs that strive to be top 20 year in and year out. And what happened with Frank or Bo years ago has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation.

 

I don’t have the answers but you sure can’t settle on 3 or 4 wins annually because you’re afraid you’ll get another Callahan or Riley…..or Frost.

Sadly, I’d much rather have Callahans results. 

@Redux I hate to break it to you but the bad hires have been two in a row, with Frost being an awful one. It’s obvious at this point. He doesn’t go to a bowl game he is done.

He came here with better options.

He was supposed to be the savior.

He ranks near the bottom in too many categories.

He played and recruited the wrong style early on.

We felt he was turning the corner the last couple weeks.

His SP+ is #23, the only team with a losing record in the top 25.

Trev is "proud of how the kids are playing"

Another close loss and pitchfork nation is after him.

If our savior can't get it done, who wants to coach here next?

 

I'm frustrated as hell, especially living in Minnesota, but I don't think it's time to move on yet. I think you do give him one more year with an easier schedule, with most starters returning, guys he's recruited for this style and coached up. I just don't see a better coach out there who would choose this job. The koolaid is a bit tart, but I'm still sipping. Go ahead, crucify away.

 

Two things I’m tired of seeing:

1.  We can’t get better.  
2.  We can’t afford a buyout. 
 

These arguments are ridiculous and need to stop. We can’t get better then a perennial loser who has the worst record in 60 years?  That’s asinine.

You give Frost the 7 years .  Nebraska looked good at Oklahoma, Michigan, Michigan State.

Night games and then an 11:00am - was brutal.  Minnesota had the bye week.  Losing Prohaska

was tough.  The fans are dialed in a home games.

 

I think our coach and AD can work out the problems.

 

 

This is a terrible idea. Just give him 7 regardless of results?  No thank you.

I think he gets a year, maybe two, regardless of what happens on the field this year. In the end does it really matter if you finish 3-9 or 5-7? Neither gets you to a bowl. And if they can't come up with the buyout cash he may be here 5 more years.

 

Recruiting might suffer a bit with only 3 wins but we are already ranked last in the B1G so it's not like we have far to fall.

Lol. Can’t come up with the buyout cash. Hahahahahahahahaha

There's shady and there's shady. We're talking about rape here, man. And it's a known thing, so we'd be walking into it eyes wide open.

 

I think we can hire someone without that over baggage without appearing snooty about it, can't we?

I can overlook recruiting violations and the like, but enabling a culture of sexual assault and covering up rape and sexual assault?  No thank you.

‘So, a group a$$-pulling?  What have we become.

Haha. I think that describes today’s Husker performance fairly accurately. Lol

You just pulled this out of your a$$, didn't you?

Lol. Not entirely.  I should have said this comment was based on some people at the place I was watching the game.

Frost has had the worst results.  He is not our worst coach.  

At the end of the day, aren’t the results what matter?

Adrian has so many apologists when he loses. Interestingly, many are the same that cursed Taylor when he won…

Thank you for this!  This is soooo honest and so much better of a response than most of the losers that post about Bo.

 

Bo finished 1/2 every year.

Bob Devaney, Tom Osborne, Frank Solich, Bo Pelini together have 48 winning seasons and 0 losing seasons

Callahan, Riley, and Frost have 4 winning seasons and 8 losing seasons. (I’m including this season)

Time to face facts, Frost isn’t like Osborne or Devaney. He’s the worst coach we’ve had in the last 60 years.

This guy's such a big Iowegian fan he's trolling a Nebraska board during Iowa's game.

 

 

A top 5 battle no less. This is all the proof you need regarding how boring Iowa football is. 

A chance to do or dare

I think if you can save tens of millions of dollars, it makes sense. Especially since this coach is one of our own.

 

How bad would it look to fire our own guy who won a NC here after just 4 years?

 

It already looks bad we fired a 9 win coach every year, having to pay out his contract, fired the coach after him, paying out his contract, had the recent AD resign, paying out his contract. Do we want to tack on tens of millions of dollars on to the end of all that?

 

I believe Scott is here for the next 2-3 years. He's at least going to get 5 full years here to turn it around.

If Nebraska does not go to a bowl game, he should be fired. 
 

How bad would it look if we KEEP a coach with 4 straight losing seasons?  An entire recruiting cycle!?!
 

I’ll tell you what it will look like. It will send a signal that Nebraska no longer cares about winning football games but instead cares about people’s feelings or the living in the past.

I don't feel like the AD will fire Frost for poor performance and thus pay out his contract. I can see him getting two more years. Next season's schedule is immeasurably easier (on paper and as of right now). So I think he's "safe" for now.

 

If the NCAA investigations confirm that he violated his contract, which would be terms for firing for cause/breaching his contract, then we have a whole different ball game.

 

what a s#!tty game. So many things that have become enigmatic of this team under Frost.

The buyout of a contract, regardless of the amount, will never be a reason to NOT move on at Nebraska. We can go ahead and stop mentioning that. If this thing goes off the rails it won’t be difficult to pull the plug, and $ of a buyout will not be even a consideration.

TV revenue sharing has long leveled the "lame team" issue.

 

Have you seen lame ol' Purdue's facilities?  Haveou noticed Clemson's record this year?  Do you not understand why conference affiliation and tv money matters so much now?

Lol. Yep. Totally leveled. That’s why so many different teams are in the playoffs every year...

No disagreement there.

 

But Chinander isn’t going to be the next Husker coach.

I was speaking Of Chins as an interim guy, specifically 

13 minutes ago, funhusker said:

If Chinander is in daily meetings with Frost and not currently giving advice to make the team better, it won’t start happening by just giving him the title of “head coach”.

 

 

It will if Frost doesn’t listen to anybody else because he is arrogant or incompetent.

I am starting to hope Chinander gets a shot at this job.  Something I never thought I’d say...

You can put Ahman Green back there and he’s going to average less than 3 ypc too. Offensive line needs serious coaching and development. They’ve had 4 years to do this and we’re not moving forward.

I agree with your point entirely, however I think Ahman does a little better than that. Lol

These people exist?  Yikes.

That block is indicative of how Johnson played Saturday. He just looked different.
