Let me ask you something, 

If Scott Frost said the punt was supposed to go right, and by all means the team would have probably discussed which way that punt was going, and the boneheaded punter kicks it left...what the f#&% do you want Scott Frost to do about that?

It's so amazing that the players just get a pass like they have no ability to do anything. That the coaches are just holding PS3 controllers playing NCAA Football 14.

Problem, this such a basic fundamental of the kicking game. That shouldn’t happen at this level. Hell, middle school teams can be on the same page as to which way the punt is going. It’s just another example of how little importance is placed on special teams. 

 
This one hit and hurts different.  In the past I would be upset and disappointed and move on.  This one is definitely different.

Just put the motherf#&%er in the air and let your team cover like every other f#&%ing team. We make the simplest things so hard it’s just baffling.

It’s like a golfer who keeps missing the ball then telling him to stay to the left. Don’t be messing with directional garbage, Just kick the damn thing and have the coverage team stay in their lanes. 

 
Fact of the matter is we had glaring special team issues in week 1, which pretty much cost us the game. Or at least were huge contributors to our loss. We didn’t go and get a ST coach. The special team issues continued to be a problem week after week and we haven’t addressed it.

Tonight it cost us the game. There’s zero hope that it’ll still be addressed because it’s already cost us games this year and it’s the same old, same old. 
 

offensive line continues to make crucial mistakes and doesn’t do it’s job well at all. Nothing is done.

This so called accountability program or whatever it was we had 20 years ago should maybe apply to the coaches more than the players.

Pittman at Arkansas seems to be doing a good job.  They had a big win today against Texas A & M.

Mel Tucker in year 2 at MSU.

The right coach can get things done these days in CFB far sooner then what we expect. We always tell ourselves it’s a 4 year process, well, CFB has changed just like how freshman QBs used to never start, coaches can turn programs around far sooner.

 
Whatever Alberts does, it’s in his hands. I don’t care who we hire or what we do or don’t do. I was all in on hiring  Pelini, all in on Frost. Now I’ll sit back and let the AD make their decision.

Nope, we could have won that game.  Correct.  You don't go and fire Frost after those two losses.  The players are playing hard.  

Fire Frost at the end of the season if you like.  It would be stupid to do so now.

I never said we should fire Frost now but Nebraska football is like watching a re-run of the same horrible movie time and time again. Week in week out it is the same story, disaster special teams, horrible OL play, and horrific play calling in red zone and in 2-minute drills on top of all the ridiculous penalties. Four years with the same horrid movie. When can we expect to win and raise our standards? After Frost’s tenth year or 12th? He has not made one logical coaching change even though our special teams have been awful for four years now. Our OL has been penalty prone and has not given AM time to find receivers. Our QB coach cannot teach AM when to get rid of the ball to avoid a damn sack. So, we should just learn to be happy that we only lose by less than 10 points to opponents. When are we going to get back to the times when winning by just a touchdown was disappointing? Never mind, those times will never come back when we keep doing the same things and expecting miracles.

ST has been a glaring issue since Year 1.....

So much the bolded......Point the thumb not the finger.

 
I just have no idea how there has been zero progress since Riley’s last year. It makes no sense, we have the same exact issues tonight that we had 5 years ago.

I mean even Riley had a hard fought OT loss to Wisconsin.
