Its really not a difficult concept to assess how the staff is doing relative to the circumstances. Simply move onto a different thread if this does not interest you.

gobiggergoredder Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Are any positions worse than they were last year? I smile thinking how bad Bethune Cookman would demolish Riley. Quote Link to comment

I am glad Riley is gone for sure and as I said earlier we need to give Frost time, but based upon the cards he was dealt, I am still underwhelmed with this staff so far. Quote Link to comment

I’ll give you Special teams is equal, but they are not worse. I don’t think Riley returned a punt for two years. Mostly penalties and bonehead decisions. I’ve always believed teams with strong depth have great special teams. That might be a tell. O Line has been bad for years. I think their play is bad, but I don’t agree they are worse. This is going to be one of the most difficult positions to get fixed. It takes time to select and develop 5 good players. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Frost took an 0-12 team and turned it into a 13-0 team in two years. I think he knows what he's doing. You play the game with the guys you have. He's inherited a team that was lucky to go 4-8 last year, and there's a lot of bad habits and a few really overrated players on it. He can't just bench everyone and play the Freshmen - those guys don't know the game at this level yet. But there is accountability. #21 found the bench after another stupid play on what should have been an INT for the Huskers. That's a positive move. There will be more such moves. I get the whole "mid-term" grade thing. I just think it's really hard to judge these coaches this harshly when we have no idea what they're doing when they're actually coaching. All we know is, they can coach. We'll just have to be patient for the results. 3 Quote Link to comment

In 4 games we've given up 2 punt return TDs, muffed punts, missed easy FGs, and our punter is terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just have our guys fair catch it and save some field position.... GBR!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

It is going to take time for Frost to rebuild after the absolute disaster that was the "Riley era." Fans just need to be patient. Last fall this forum was filled with posters who said with the current “highly ranked” players on the field, a new (better) coach could easily win 8-9 games. Just a fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Being able to do an average job in the return game without penalties is not a talent issue....its coaching 101. Now I guess some could argue that players lack mental capacity to be coached so the staff deserves no criticism, but that seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment
