A badass tackling free safety would go a long way.

We have to gamble to win, we need a better backup. Can’t shut them down then give up the game on two plays.

That’s Chinander get used to it 

And we don’t gamble we rush 3 or

4 and drop 7or 8 into soft zone at crunch time.  We play and coach not to lose that’s why we lose..

Get used to it.

Williams didn't recruit JD.  Riley did.

 

Walters helped recruit Wan'Dale Robinson.  Perhaps you've heard of him.

Split hairs much?  Who was Reilly s WR coach?

Held recruited Wan dale besides he mostly was a running back.    Not really a WR either is he?

Eh, considering the previous WR coach literally did not recruit a single player in three years, I think he gets a little chance to build it back up.

JD begs to differ...all time husker receiver?

Walters has gotten us squat 

If he leaves this would be a serious indictment of Walters and his lack of developing a solid WR room.

Created another thread on this from a recent artcile, but will post it here.  Not a lot of definitive proof of improvement except for going 5-7 vs 4-8.......

 

From 2018 to 2019, NU gained fewer first downs, ran for fewer yards, threw for fewer yards, gained fewer yards per rush, gained fewer total yards, scored fewer touchdowns, scored fewer total points, made fewer field goals, gave up touchdowns more often in the red zone, scored less in the red zone, gave up more kickoff return yards and touchdowns and broke up fewer passes.

Some of that change was drastic, like the 17.8-percentage point decrease in field goal percentage or the 14-percentage point decrease in red zone scores or the 11 fewer pass breakups.

 

Other stats were almost identical....No where to go but up I guess....

Except the strength of schedule was easy this year as compared last year.  
 

Next year’s schedule looks very tough and  the D will step back next year.  
 

The O should improve next season if we get better QB play, if not Frosts seat will begin to melt.

Not sure the validity, but these types of attrition scenarios may be the pain Scott needs to wake up and see what is happening.  He doesn't lead the entire team, he's a co-lead with DeWitt and Chinander.  He has an unhealthy infatuation with a bad QB when there are other who give the players and program a better chance.  

 

Scott needs to evaluate some things this offseason.

Well said

Scott needs to re-recruit the team...bird in the hand!

The Purdue game will make or break the season.

And by make I’m saying 6-6

by break I’m saying 2-10.

Might as well put myself on record so I can gloat about how smart I am a year from now, or I can forget and pretend like I never said anything if I'm wrong

 

 

First, here's something I really believe is going to happen. Adrian is going to go into the offseason pissed off with a chip on his shoulder. He's gonna go back down about 15 pounds, he's gonna get an extra step back, and with freshly healthy legs (and shoulder?), a more developed line and receiver corps, hopefully some progress by Frost as a playcaller, and another year of personal development, is going to come out like a different player to the tune of All B1G honors. 

 

I've been really confused by people's opinions on Adrian this year, and I guess a big part of it is a "what have you done for me lately" perspective. It seems clear to me that he was in a funk and that something mentally/physically wasn't right. But it can be. It was much more his freshman year. He's gonna come out guns blazing next season. Something to the tune of 3,300 passing with 22TD/6INT and 700 rushing with 12 TDs. 

 

 

 

Second hot take I'm not as sure about but think has a real potential to be possible, we'll have a top 25 scoring defense next year. Our defense has improved the last two years, and while there were still too many times where you wanted to pull your hair out, dare I say the defense was a hair's width away from being actually good. The only thing that kept them was consistency, and a big part of why was because when they played their best, the offense would stutter and stall, and the D would eventually get worn down and break. 

 

There were a lot of times last year where our defense was playing with it's hair on fire and dominating for moments. The last 2.75 quarters yesterday was one example. A very large chunk of the Colorado game was another. They'll take another huge step up with some newly developed talent and a more consistent offense.

He’s not wrong...so far Frost isn’t getting it done.  
 

And if he doesn’t make changes in his coaching... he won’t be getting it done in the future.

Both ain’t happening. Frost is smarter than that.  

I hope your right.

Coaches can change and grow. Especially young coaches without a ton of experience; those would be the coaches you would expect to improve more than others, are they not? 

 

 

I hope he can...so far he hasn’t changed from year 1 to 2.  Maybe regressed a little.

If he can blame himself he’s got a shot.

I have followed this thread most of last night and picked up here today.  My question is what do you you want done SFW?

 

I don't disagree with some of your points. Play calling absolutely was a major factor in some losses,  especially Purdue.  I will also say, as a coach myself, I hate the idea that Frost seems to take about 10% of the blame and does throw players under bus publicly.

 

With that said, I truly believe he is still the right guy for this job.  Hopefully you aren't wanting him gone bc that isn't going to happen and it shouldn't. In fact, the 2 yr extension was best move we made in a long time. STABILITY is key to any success,  look at record books.

I was a huge Frost fan.  I still hope he gets it figured out.

I would like to see the following :

Become a Game Day Head Coach

Give up play calling.  He should still listen and give input. But he needs to focus and all aspects of the team in game not just offense.  It’s costing us games.

Have someone on your staff manage the game clock and timeouts from the press box for him.... in his ear.

Change scheme on D to an aggressive 4-3.

Focus more on Special teams in game

Focus more on the D in game.

Quit blaming and excuse making.

Truly open up the QB competition.

Drop all your hard feelings about the past, it seems to be affecting him still.

This is a really dumb take the ceiling is 6-6? In 2018 we were two plays away from 6-6 (Northwestern OT and Iowa game expiring field goal), and another "play" away from 7 wins if Adrian doesn't get hurt against CU.

 

In 2019 we were another two plays away from 6-6 (Iowa game expiring field goal and Colorado OT), and two other games where we were inches away from 8 wins. 

 

 

So you're saying a team that has been near a 6-6 mark and is going to flip the roster into more developed talent and have another year of experience under a consistent system with coaches that will hopefully learn and grow as well, has zero percent chance of doing better than 6-6?

 

Who hurt you that you see the world so bleakly lol

Speaking of dumb takes....football is a game of inches.  
 

We fail in the game of inches because of coaching.  Not effort or talent or lack of.

The schedule next year is much tougher than this years.  So yes if we get lucky we might get 6 wins.  
 

We lost all those games you mentioned above for a reason...in game coaching blunders.   No reason to think that’s going to change:

No hurt but yes the reality I saw this season does indeed lead to a bleak outlook.

We’ve lost every game that mattered.

Because of coaching blunders in game.

Effort and talent can’t cover that up.

Frost inherited a sinking ship, I will admit that, 

Problem is the last 2 years have proven him to be in waters that are to big.   Mistakes are magnified in the Big Ocean and he’s making too many each week.  If he doesn’t get some experienced mates, or have divine intervention to help him there will be a mutiny.

As bad as it seems now only helps to make it all the more sweet when it gets turned around.      

Frost has turned it around.....360 degrees.

Good lord.

Yes...Maybe Frost will have divine intervention during the long off season.

And learn how to coach on game day.

Frost is in trouble because he’s getting out coached by every coach in our league minus, Rutgers, Maryland and MSU.  

JoJo said on the final drive Iowa knew what we were going to run and exploited it.  He said we should of known better.

Seems every opposing coach knows what Chinander is going to run on the Final drive.

I hope Luke doesn’t end up transferring.  
I fear he will when A-Mart starts all next season.  

In a nutshell...
 

A bunch of screen passes, followed up by bad clock management.  Finally our bend but don’t break defense on the opponents final drive.  Sound familiar?

I think we’ll go 2-6 against those teams next year.  Not great but that’s where we are at.  When people are sunshine pumping next pre-season, please bump this thread.  

I’m Not sure about 

NW or

SDS

We could lose those as well.

The Floor is 2-10

The Ceiling is 6-6

i think 4-8 is who we are.

The D will be much worse next year.  

Why you’re  wrong about  6 wins

Purdue

Cincy

Illinois

OSU

Penn St

wisky

Iowa
