Exactly. I don't know if there is a coach in the country that cares more about getting this program back to great football. 2 Quote Link to comment

Jeremy Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I like Scott, but this is where the comparisons to Osborne definitely end. Tom wouldn't dare cuss, much less with a microphone in his face. It's not a big deal, but still as surprising as Martinez cussing after the loss in Boulder. Dadgummit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This will get fixed, just not as fast as I and a bunch of us on here had hoped for. GBR!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Undone Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here's what I'm tired of: I'm tired of hearing about culture in the program. Play the f****** games. And as for "giving up touchdowns at the start of the second half," Frost needs to get in Chinander's face and tell him to blitz more than three times per game. When Tannor put his helmet into their quarterback's numbers, we almost had that f***er knocked out of the game. Don't stop until you've wrecked him. Then do it to the next guy that comes in. This defense is so much sh**tier than I could have possibly imagined. 8 Quote Link to comment

But there's zero reason to do it as little as Chinander chooses when your secondary is struggling to cover. What he's doing is just doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results when it's the middle of the third quarter and we're getting gashed - as opposed to making adjustments. 4 Quote Link to comment

jager Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I agree with Undone. It seems like Chin doesn't make any halftime adjustments and teams come out a gash us. Quote Link to comment

Simply put, that seems to be because you will vehemently defend Frost & his staff's ability to coach well, despite evidence to the contrary. Maybe I'm wrong there, but that's the feeling I get. That's fine. It will take probably two years before anyone can really say who was right and who was wrong in this discussion - that I fully recognize. 3 Quote Link to comment

Yes, if we still have these struggles on both sides of the ball in two years, there's a problem. The talent issue is frustrating Frost to no end right now. Quote Link to comment

My interpretation is considerably different: Frost is creating a narrative that talent is an issue as an excuse for their inability to take a group of completely serviceable players and - after a year and a half under their coaching - turn this defense into a unit that doesn't suck like Riley's teams. But they can't do it. Your/others' reply will be "but we can't do such a thing without the talent on defense." I then come back with comparative recruiting rankings for other B1G defenses and their starting front seven to show we have equal or perhaps more relative talent. Then the next excuse is brought to the table about "culture," "lack of toughness," or whatever the excuse du jour is. 4 1 Quote Link to comment
