Okay, I can see why one could look at those as "flukey things". I get it. I took them as the typical things that reoccur ... that even the kids you think you can depend upon do the stupid things that you don't expect. What I also take it as is there are enough holes in the boat that even if you patch up a few things and think you got it fixed to move to the bigger problems ... you keep having to go back for small repairs of places you would have thought would never be issues.
You’re putting way too much effort into this. “Really good” is highly subjective and the meaning of that is going differ, possibly greatly, from person to person.
And I think here is where everyone is stuck. Year 4 and no one saw this coming. It's not just the loss at Illinois, but the way we lost. Maybe the best gamers get the start moving forward. Maybe we actually commit to the run. Make average decisions. Looking at the schedule, Fordham, then possibly Purdue and Buffalo? Who else?
I’m going to state as a matter of fact that “really good” left the building 3 days ago. Illinois with a first year staff vs not very good.
I'll be right there with you. Admit I was wrong and there's a reason I am not paid millions to coach and he is....I hope he can turn it around. I like Frost as a person. I wish him luck if this doesn't work out. Personally, I'd love to be wrong and he's here until he wants to leave and we are winning the West, competing for the B1G and bowling on the regular.
Honest evaluation would be a welcomed trait at this point by Frost
I would agree with your assessment. A fluke is a rare occurrence. However, these "rare" occurrences happen each and every game with a different player or unit involved. This to me is an established pattern that is linkable to the poor instruction that takes place in game week preparation. The trend of these occurrences is now undeniable.
