It's odd when taking into context the last seven years of Husker football that six wins and a bowl game isn't good enough.
We haven't been bowling now in 5 years....That roughly between 60-75 practices the kids have missed. That'll be roughly 48-70 for Frost alone......yea. 6-6 is something I'd love to see next year. Do I think that is acceptable? Hell no. But is something we haven't seen in years. JoJo is the only guy on the roster that saw a bowl. in 2016.......
In a sense, yes, it’s better than what we’ve accomplished recently. But Frost doesn’t get to win 6, make a bowl, and claim that’s satisfactory improvement. This year, 2021, is the year that Frost could’ve got by with 6 or 7 wins and called it improvement. Since he was undeservingly retained like that’s what happened, I’m going to pretend it did happen and expect/treat at least 8 wins next year as showing the needed improvement. It is a much easier schedule after all. I don’t care if that’s viewed as fair or not. I don’t think it is particularly fair or right that he was retained. It certainly wasn’t earned. I look at next years schedule and all I see is that 7 or less just isn’t good enough.
Here is what I don't get. (not aimed at you). What in the hell has anyone seen in 4 years that thinks next year will be easier......
I’m with you and I think fans need to look at it from a different perspective. Instead of accepting the last 4 pathetic years as acceptable and give Frost a pass to start building now. We need to be saying the reason we fired Riley is because what he produced in W-L was not acceptable and Frost was brought here to improve that. He has gotten worse. We need to be asking ourselves when we hired Frost where did we expect the program to be in year 5. I would venture to say 90% of the fans would say winning the west for sure. Why would we lower our standards? It seems some fans have lowered our standards to what they think Frost can achieve instead of setting the standard based on what Nebraska football expects
I get it but I refuse to consider past results or Frost’s history of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I look at that schedule and can’t help but think there are 8 pretty easy wins. Of course that is making no allowances for Nebraska continuing to beat themselves. Heck just getting STs half way respectable adds 3 or 4 more wins this year. Fix red zone offense and we’re practically undefeated. I’m not going to lower my expectations just because we’ve been the short bus of CFB.
Meh ....there's not that many posters on this thread or even this site
I look at the past, but then the fan in me kicks in and says no way we continue to defy mathematical probability and continue to lose 1 score games. I also had a strong dislike for the O staff starting mid 2019. Having even average coaches (and ST) has got to account for more wins.......It's just hard with all of the data to see Frost turning it around. One thing I have yet to find about the 4 year+ failure coaches is how many kept their staffs intact vs a pretty huge change like Frost implemented.......
Nah…..I think If they all would post one more negative post……the world would start to be better.
Yep! NU has paid the second most "dead money" in the country to fired staff since January 1, 2010 and has a new $155 million training complex to pay for so Trev is leveraging the fan's loyalty to save money.Hedley Lamarr said:
Shouldn't play with fan loyalty, far too many administrators have done that at NU. If Frost hires duds for his new O assistants you will have BOGO tickets all year.
