Frost just fired himself

[Husker4Real]

Another classic game where the opponent did absolutely nothing special.  They just played their game and waited for NU to screw up. 
 

A couple of things stood out to me.  First, the pick 6 was bad enough - especially since he nearly had one on the first drive.  But the play before, we picked up a first down on a nice option play that was nullified by a holding call.    Instead of 1st down in Purdue territory, we are facing 2nd and 15.

 

The asinine desperation, shovel flip INT is arguably Martinez’s worst decision ever - in a career full of bad decisions.  Worse yet, it came right after a great punt and great stop to give NU great field position.  Instead, the field was flipped by Purdue and they seized control of the game.

 

I’ll add the missed opportunity at the end of the half to the list of mistakes.  A complete game-changer is missed.

 

And - what the hell was up with our pass coverage?  How many completions came without a defender anywhere near the receiver?  It was one uncontested catch after another.

 

It seems we are better off with just one week of poor coaching than 2….

Post game press conference quotes.

 

”We’re a good team, not a great team talent wise.”

 

”A team shouldn’t need me to motivate them all the time, that’s my job. That’s what I do. But a great team doesn’t need a coach to motivate them all the time.”

 

There is your answer ladies and gentlemen!

 

Obviously this is the culture Frost built from the beginning between his staff, his players, and anyone associated with the program. The no fear of failure approach has worked. We failed.

 

The only man left to save this program is Trev Alberts. I feel he will do what is necessary for this fan base that is arguably one of the greatest fan bases in all of sports.

This insight needed its own thread?

 

Can you start a new one about Adrian's poor game?

[Packerhuskerfan]

It is year 4.  It is his job to make 3 star athletes into 4 stars and 4 stars into 5 stars.  Talking down his roster will just get more to transfer.  His recruiting class for next year is already dismal. 

[ColoradoHusk]

The refrain I keep hearing from people who don't want to fire Frost is "who else are we gonna get".  I don't care, because Frost isn't the answer. Everyone thought Frost was the one who could save Nebraska football. Maybe it's Trev who could be the star alumni who could save Nebraska football. After all, Trev was a much better player at NU than Frost was, regardless of the 1997 season.

Frost is the worst coach in the modern era and if his name was not Frost, he would have been toast before the season started. 

 

Get rid of this coaching staff and let Adrian go with them. 

 

It is sad when Husker fans long for the days of mediocrity under Solich, Bo, and Riley. At least then we could go to bowl games.

I don’t know about you but those are some pretty glaring quotes that expose the man leading this football program and how his internal clock works. So sorry that you continue to support him. 

[Dano564]

He's bringing in high level of recruits, but the coaches aren't getting the players to play better.

Some guys are getting better on their own, but I feel bad for any O-linemen who went to Nebraska expecting to be developed into great players, because Frost and his coaches aren't doing that.

 

There have to be a few guys questioning why they believed in Frost, and then after a loss like today he doesn't talk to them postgame.

 

Frost has no concept on how to lead kids in the year 2021.

i think if he beats ohio state or iowa he'll be back next year.

You’re dreaming, my friend. Maybe Iowa but OSU is going to embarrass us once again.

I think the quote deserves its own thread,

 

Motivating young men is the single most important thing coaches do. Especially talent not living up to its potential.

 

A whole team lacking talent and motivation in your fourth season as head coach? Sure that's not on you, f#&%head? 

 

Throwing players under the bus when you career blows up in your face is what cowards do. 

 

I don't need to see another day with Scott Frost as head coach.

He's been doing this since year 1, so it's nothing new

[Decoy73]

Yeah, we won’t be hearing the end of this cringe worthy quote for a while. 

[Scarlet]

Gotta admit that was about the most cringe worthy press conference I've seen.  Mike Leach calling out his team as soft was close but it was hilarious and you knew at least he had some answers on how to fix things.  All Frost could come up with was "we have to play better" and that there is no way, no how he's considering a QB change.
