Things we know that should give us hope that we are in good hands.
- Frost had success as a head coach
- Has had success as both an offense and defense coordinator
- He has a lot of experience and success coaching several position groups
- He understands Nebraska and what its limitations are in terms of recruiting
- Other schools identified him as having great potential (so it’s not just hometown bias) including
o Florida
o Tennessee
o UCF
- The only other candidate that would have been considered better at least nationally was Chip Kelly and he is also 0-3.
[SIZE=11pt]Given these factors I firmly believe this team has more mental obstacles versus physical ones. [/SIZE]Meaning the guys are being coached properly including strength and conditioning. It’s a mental block. We have enough players on this team to be 2-1 or 3-1. It will take an extra season now to get over the mental part of losing. Frost knows this. He wears a Day by Day t-shirt to pressers. The rhetoric by Frost in the off season about how many wins to expect was that he wouldn't measure progress with a win total. This season isn’t lost but the building needs to take place in the minds of the players now. They need to be tired of losing and go out and take a game. Take it and not give it back or wait for the other team to make a mistake and give it to them.
