The problem that has happened in the past is when that feels like the ceiling. When all you can compete with are lesser teams, that’s exactly what happens. One of the many things that makes Frost the right hire is he understands and appreciates the high standard at Nebraska. He’s not fighting against it but rather using it as part of the formula. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 So the last few comments lead to: if we’d actually win a conference title and not gotten totally robbed by :01 or the aTm penalty debacle...9-10 wins woulda been great. All we lacked from 08-14 was a conference championship, and damn we were close a couple times. How about the ‘what if’ into the future?? What if Frost wins the West 3 or the next 5 and continues that ratio beyond....what if Frost and his system are exactly what the gods ordered? What if we’re back and we don’t even know it yet?

I think you both are trying to gang tackle me Point taken - yes NU didn't need a untested assistant coach, we just hired our own known assistant coach to be the HC as Tom was the known assistant coach 25 years prior. It worked then and lightning can strike the same place twice. Maybe if Frank had won that NC in 1999 things may have transpired differently and he gets better recruits, etc. With better recruits he may have hung wt Miami in 2001 - ifs and buts Quote Link to comment

Ugh. It is amazing when one stops to think about it, that a program wt the tradition and pedigree that we had since the 1960s would ever stoop to hire such people. This is a failure at the very top, not just the AD spot. The top administrators had a lack of vision and more importantly they failed to fulfill the fiduciary responsibility of protecting the huge investment that was made into the program. But it another way, if NU was a hospital, the coaches and AD should be tried for medical malpractice and the top administrators for malfeasance. Or put another way, if they were a care giver, they should be charged for criminal neglect. 1 Quote Link to comment

You got the same avatar, That's not their avatar, it's the user rank icon, which the board assigns to them. The current setup is really confusing, though. I often do a double take on that.
