K-State is also a much better program than NU right now. And he probably had a relationship with Kleiman from being recruited in high school.
No doubt they are better than the Huskers right now. Doesn’t change how I feel about Clester and the kids.

Keagan Johnson has committed to Kansas State. Figured he was a long shot for NU anyway.
Don’t want the drama of him or his dad. Good luck at KSU.

My impression is that he finished the season better than how he played in the first couple games. I recall seeing somewhere that PFF graded him as our top OL for what it’s worth.
Maybe it is an expectation thing for me then. Just seems like he gets beat so often and is whiffing on so many blocks. Being the best of the worst is worth something I guess...

That's a good point and something I was wondering myself. Personally, I like a zone scheme for the running game, which allows the backs to find a cut back lane and also Read-Option if I'm not mistaken.
The whiff blocking attempts from 69 and 54 does not indicate bad coaching, but bad player production. I agree that those two players have had ample opportunities and games under team Frost.
Will be interesting to see if any new additions with the portal and how Spring goes to really have an idea until then.
It is very disappointing to watch how poorly Benhart has progressed. I coached against this kid throughout high school in both football and wrestling. I was genuinely excited to get his commitment and see how he would do. He has not gotten any better and dare I say, he is worse now than when he was a true freshman?

If we get a RT somehow in the portal and Bryce Benhart doesn’t play the line will be automatically better. Should be better at LG. C who knows. LT Teddy is gonna be bad until he is back to 100%.
Getting rid of Benhart will automatically make the line better...he sucks! There HAS to be a better tackle in the portal that they can get here!

Emmett Johnson, RB. I believe he was Mr Football in MN. And has been buried on the depth chart here. Sounds like he thinks he shouldn't have been so low.
He was a pretty good RB here in MN. Played for a private school. Never offered by the Gophers...not sure he was better than 2-3 guys that played most of the season. Interesting tweet to make...

Agree on Allan. Grant seems to have regressed into a dancer...........
Yes, to some extent. The OL was absolute garbage and he just seemed like he was trying to make something happen that was not there...almost pressing and trying to create a big run each time instead of putting head down. A dancing running back is never a good thing, but add that to the horrendous OL play and it is not good at all!

I'm in the minority, but I just don't see where MJ is really needed. I could see us being succesful without him. I don't see it as mandatory like alot of fans do.
Nebraska's receivers were bascially the same they were as under Frost. MJ's boy just declared for the draft. I'll be shocked if he is even drafted. If I was an NFL team, i'd ask him in his intervew why his productivity disappeared when his team needed him most during the season.
Gotta disagree on the bolded part. Palmer was lights out. Imagine if he had a QB that could throw to him for all of the games. When injuries took over and the backups were in, it was awful. The WR corp was better under Mickey...at least looked better and had the ability to stretch the field. Not sure there was a WR that could stretch the field before this crew came in.

I am happy with the hire and the process. I really hope Mickey can be retained on staff in some capacity. I like the timing of this because it give a chance for him and the staff to get some potential transfer portal guys. Cautiously optimistic....

I personally think that the majority of the O line problem isn't strength, it's technique and knowing what the hell they are supposed to do.
There are some pieces to the OL, but injuries and failing a drug test took the top two OL out of the picture. There is ZERO depth and the fact that they keep sending out some the same guys is alarming and proof there is no depth. The guys playing were coached by someone way over their head for most of their career and then got another guy that doesn't seem to know what the hell is going on either. Poor recruiting/retention and poor coaching is the perfect recipe for one of the, if not the worst OL in the history of Nebraska football.

No. He doesn't get any pass, and its because the way this went down. He knew this was likely coming by this time last year. He had from then until the start of the season to prepare. He then fired Frost after 3 games, so that he had three months a head start on the official search process. In doing so, he cost the university an extra $7.5 million. If he bungles this, it is all on him, and if it is bungled. I will believe the reports of him pinching pennies. What's that saying? Penny smart, pound foolish? A good Nebraska football program pays for itself 10 fold. With what Nebraska can pay, and the resources and facilities, there is no reason he should not be able to grab a tier one coach.
Just got done saying the same thing. If it is all true, it is unbelievable to me that he would be penny pinching.

If reports are true of low ball offers for HC and not being accommodating to assistant salaries I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with Trev and/or BOR?! The program and fan base has been through hell the last 15-20 years and you are worried about money? The athletic department is rolling it in financially and the football program NEEDS to be successful.
As it has been said, this could be TA's kiss of death if he screws this up....and probably the football program's kiss of death to ever get back to the bare minimum of success/respect. We will slowly continue to turn into the Gophers from the 60s to the 2000's.

Ed McCaffrey is now available…I will show myself out!
-
IMO, as a fan base we have so much PTSD from the Callahan to Pelini to Riley to Frost that we freak out when we see/hear the same type of path being taken...even if it is not confirmed. I just wish Trev would be a huge hire and we can all move forward with it. The pessimistic side of me feels like I will be disappointed and frustrated that top choices turned Trev down and we have to settle for some no name person.
Damn, it sucks being a Husker fan right now!!

Wow thats so horrible!!! I don't get the argument that MJ made this team any better being the head guy in place.
Nobody at backup and THE WORST OL in the country will do that to your stats. It really makes it impressive how Casey has done with that gong show in front of him. The same argument was made over the years with AM. This was proven again. Has to be the biggest blunder in recruiting/coaching to think the current OL on the roster has any fight/fire/pride. Just terrible!

So you want Benhart to play in the Iowa game? Interesting.
Sorry, I know what you meant, just effin around
Lol...if I had my way he would not have played after week 1. He HAS to be all that they have. I mean, if they keep sending that clown out there and there is someone else better, Raiola should never coach again.

I know he's not the type to throw anyone under the bus but he did say it all when talking about the oline when he said something like "you gotta play with who got, you can't trade them".
FCS lines with a handful of decent, but not great skill players
The OL is just plain awful. I have never seen a group so incredibly incompetent in the BIG. They can be done after this year for all I care. Benhart can be shown the door immediately after the Iowa game. Railoa as well...he has done nothing to get these guys any better than they were before.

No matter what we say, he's gonna pick who he's gonna pick. Probably already hired someone and waiting for the season to end.
Wonder if the hire/agreement was made weeks ago the new person continues to watch these losers and is second guessing their decision...

The OL is the WORST in all of college football. The fact that Benhart continues to be rolled out there at this point is unbelievable! The team has a loser mentality and the new coach needs to get rid of a large chunk of these upper class men. All they know how to do is lose!

From what I understand, the announcement will not be made until the conclusion of the season, out of respect to Coach Joseph.
If this is true, it is frustrating. With the transfer portal dates the Huskers could potentially miss out on the guys...

I can back Mickey. I think he would bring in a good staff. He can recruit. He knows the type of athletes to recruit to have success. He learned and watched alot during his time with LSU. That team was a great offensive team with some great talent, talent that he helped bring in. If any of this has legs................
Wonder who he brings in for OC and DC. Does he keep Busch for DC?
what connections does he have to bring in strong coordinators and support staff?-

Frost Fired!

How far down the list did they have to go to get these two clowns. Get hired to come back to your school, become one of the worst, if not the worst coach in the history of the program, rumors swirling about bars/being too hungover to meet, and then you get asked to coach the Army All American game...cannot make it up!
