Good luck to them both. No school is going to touch that mess. 

Depends if Bo sticks with Youngstown State.

This one seems obvious to me...

There are three guys coming back that deserve a shot at QB1, with another guy coming in that could grab it. There’s zero reason to let Martinez hold the reins without a fight.

In 2005, we would've felt better about the direction of the program no matter what. We were still delusional from the 90s, and as soon as Bill won 8-9 games I think most people felt like it was back on track because why wouldn't it be? Now after 15ish years, it's a little harder to be optimistic. Knowing how year 4 went for Callahan I feel better now, I believe years 3 and 4 for Frost will be a lot better. But right at the end of 2005, when we still thought 2002 and 2004 were just bumps in the road I think most people believed in the direction of the program whether they liked Callahan or not.

Absolutely agree. Heck, my brother and I wrote a song about the Huskers that offseason.

”Restore the order, it’s coming your way

USC Trojans, you’re about to pay

Texas Longhorns, we’re coming for you too

’Cause Nebraska won’t settle for #2

Mike Rozier and Johnny Rodgers

Eric Crouch and should’ve been Tommie Frazier

This year for the Heisman:

’The award goes to Zac Taylor’”

Oh, to have the blind optimism of adolescence 

I still have my “Restore the Order” s#!t, right next to “Hip, Hip, Hooray”, “Cardinal Mooney”, “Diacomania”, and “Calibraska”. My wife is gonna make a quilt out of my old Husker shirts, but maybe I should burn them in sacrifice to the football Gods.

Agreed. And the idea that the defense doesn't have to step up and stop teams unless our offense is performing significantly better doesn't make any sense.

 

An evaluation of the defense is an evaluation of the defense. Look at Iowa's team; is their defense great because their offense scores so many points or whatever tf? No, not at all.

 

It's like even the fan base itself hasn't adjusted to the style of play in the Big 10 after being in this conference for almost a decade.

Didn’t you know our 2009 defense was so great because of the offense scoring so much they short circuited the scoreboard?

With Burrow having a fantastic year for LSU, it seems fans wanting to bitch about Frost and how he’s a terrible coach and how this season sucks are using this as another opportunity to point this out.

 

Yes, NU has sucked this year. Yes, Frost and his staff deserve blame for that. However, Burrow kicking a$$ at LSU has nothing to do with NU’s lack of success this year and any blame on put on Frost for not trying to bring him in as a transfer in 2018 is pure hindsight.

 

Burrow not coming to NU out of high school was Bo’s/Beck’s fault.  They didn’t recruit him very hard/at all.  When Burrow was looking to transfer, he was looking for a starting spot. That wasn’t going to be given to him at NU, with Martinez and Gebbia competing for the QB job.

 

Fans may not want to admit this, but there is a good chance Martinez beats Burrow out at QB last year and Burrow spends his time at NU as a backup, or splitting time as the #1 QB this year. Martinez was pretty dang good last year, and Burrow was pretty average. Now Burrow is awesome this year, and Martinez has been the average QB. Any fan who could have predicted that, I’m sure they have that Vegas ticket with their bet for Burrow to win the Heisman at 100:1 or whatever odds it was at the beginning of the season.

 

Stop using Burrow’s season this year as another reason to crap on Frost and the coaching staff. There are plenty of reasons to do so, but Burrow isn’t one of them.  

What does questioning the decision on Burrow have anything to do with us sucking? A lot of the people questioning Frost’s decision were doing the same at the time. To act like there’s only criticism in hindsight is ridiculous.

Many of us knew Gebbia wasn’t long for Frost’s offense. Given the “culture” that was instilled by Riley, why would anyone expect Gebbia to stick around?

You can trot around on your high horse, but your lack of foresight is no reason to criticize those who questioned it the entire time. We are simply pointing out that what we thought should have been done probably should have been done.

If you’ve never made a “told you so” statement before, I’m surprised you’re posting on an internet message board.

I’ve never missed the eye roll more than this past week

Do all the buy-in folks not think it’s a coach’s duty to get his players bought in? There are obvious situations where it wouldn’t matter, but Lamar Jackson is a perfect example as someone who WAS bought-in* but they’ve lost him.

* or so the coaches and all the buy-in folks were saying

If I'm a scholarship athlete at the University of Nebraska that played during the '17 season, I'm HELL-BENT on giving everything I have, every minute of every day for the school that's giving me a full ride. I look down at the number on my jersey and realize that a LEGEND wore this number (whatever it is) and I have a tradition to live up to.

 

I don't loaf in practice, or go through the motions. I push, encourage, and make my teammates better. I do everything the coaches ask of me. I watch film and pay attention during meetings. I figure out my lapses and mistakes and do whatever I can to avoid them in the future. I don't lose my cool and PUNCH AN OPPONENT. 

 

I make it my goal in life to lead during whatever conditioning drills there are. I put my body on the line if I'm on defense or blocking - there ARE NO BUSINESS DECISIONS.  

 

In the off-season, I live in the weight room and mold my God-given gifts into weapons for my team. 

 

I will NEVER be caught on film jogging or half-heartedly pursuing a ball carrier, no matter how far he may be away. 

 

You're crazy if you think the whole team is bought in like this. It's why we are where we are.

I very clearly stated otherwise. What I stated was if I were not bought in, what my reasoning would be. Obviously someone like you or me who have been fans of the team would be bought into the school, regardless of coach.

Based on his erstwhile coaching, I’d like to say I believe he can get the job done here. Based on his stay here at Nebraska, not so much.

Its just rich that the staff came in blasting the prior staff and roster. I mean, doing that and then complaining about a lack of buy-in is laughable. If I was here and a new staff came in like that and ended up getting similar results with “upgrades” to the roster, it’d be pretty difficult for me to stay bought in. Especially with the actual in-game coaching decisions being made.

It’s all then exacerbated when you see what Joe Burrow is doing at LSU vs. the QB room Frost was good with that spring.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m also looking forward to when Frost has all his guys bought in. But Frost is gonna have to check his ego before I’ll truly believe he’s gonna turn things around. That’s starts with dumping Chin.

I guess all those people keeping “mum” with the rumor in the attrition thread were for naught.

I’d already purchased land even before reconnoitering the rim #noragrets

I’m a Browns fan, so I can handle a little adversity. 12 wins over three years? The Browns would call that improvement.

We beat Michigan State in ‘15, so I guess it’s possible.

For fun, I searched “Nebraska rumor,” on twitter and boy did I finally find what everyone is talking about!

 

That’s going to really add to an already competitive QB room. The rich get richer.

It’s like the worst-kept secret this side of Frost’s return.

I don’t remember what Dirk wrote back then but I’m guessing he was all for bringing in the new guy just like the rest of the media.

When he says fans weren’t happy, he means donors and their media agents.

He should just stop his blubbering and see what Frost can do for the next five years.

I’m sure Dirk quitting his job will be the catalyst for our next 30-year dynasty.

I’ve said this for years.  You can tell some players “care” more than others and that’s been true since Callahan through every coach to present day.  You can also tell that many fans take losses harder than some of the players.  This shouldn’t be the case and I have no problem with him saying it publicly it’s about time we have a coach that does. Teams that have players that “care” don’t consistently give up 3rd & long, get zero pressure on the qb, etc......

 

also it’s 100% accurate to say we need better players to fit scheme.  Our lbs aren’t near fast enough.  Stille wouldn’t be in the two deep on many teams in the top 15.  Them are just the facts, truth telling is refreshing.

This is one of the more laughable things I’ve seen being thrown around this year. Are there players that don’t care? Sure, there are. But simply caring doesn’t make a team good.
