Even if we would’ve pulled off the upset there would still be people complaining. Crap if you do and crap if you don’t. 
I vote we keep Scott one more year with huge changes in offensive staff, hire a special teams coach and for crying out loud-get a decent kicker! Go raid the soccer team! GBR!

As a humble chemical salesman from New Mexico and NOT a Scott Frost parachute account, I can't help but agree

 

[huskerfan74]

Frost has just ridden Martinez to his firing. I have never ever seen a more stubborn coach. Does Martinez have something over Frost. We just witnessed career suicide by QB.

 

[KCBuc]

I agree. If Trev can't get a proven successful head coach that he wants then we keep Frost for 1 more year.

Entire defensive staff stays.

Offensive staff is shown the door except for maybe our TE's coach.

Offensive scheme needs a complete overhaul.

The same defensive staff that didn’t show up for half the games? 

 

[JJ Husker]

Do 2 score loses count as moral victories?

Sure…..why not?….We’re #1, We’re #1.

 

[skers83]

Injuries???

Maybe??

He played today actually.

I saw that.

I thought it was staff in general.  Never heard which ones.

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

I think this is exactly right.  We played better than I expected. We need changes on the staff and I’d even like to see it in the bye week. I’d offer Tom Herman control of the offense. Run first and get some studs out of TX and OH.

No way would Herman accept an OC job. Heck, he might not even accept our HC job.

 

[Bball1091]

There was WAY plenty before that play where we shot ourselves in the foot. 
 

Teams shouldn’t depend on the zebras to get it right—they need to play to take the game out of the zebras’ hands when they get it wrong. 

No s#!t that there was plenty before that in which better play would have eliminated that aspect. My comment was specific to a play in which in which a penalty is called 9/10 times for every other team.

Please don’t start a what did we learn thread…please

 

[The Duke]

5 straight losing seasons.

I don't know.  He is like an analyst and special projects manager with the bears.  He sees our O sucks.  No expectations next year other than going bowling.  With an "easier" schedule next year.  He has nothing to lose...And if it's a one year gig, he will be fine.

Agreed, can the mods lock the board at least until Trev makes his statement?

 

[Bball1091]

Stop blaming the refs. Plenty of calls went our way. Had to do more with poor special teams and choosing to kick on 4th down, deep in OSU territory.

The refs sucked on that specific play. That is all I am complaining about. I’m not a frost apologist. Take your qualms elsewhere

Easy. Scott Frost is the reason we continually lose.  Rinse and repeat.

 

[BoNeyard]

None of these close losses against Top 10 teams matter when you also lose to teams like Illinois, Purdue, & Minnesota.

That's the big thing right there, beat Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota and these close losses are seen as improvements and the trajectory of the program is clearly on the upward. But lose the same way to Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota over and over and we are stuck at 3 and 4 win seasons. Essentially making these close losses to bigger programs useless to be seen as any sort of positive.
