If my skill set didn't translate to said undefeated coaches schemes I would probably look at transferring so I could play my last year, and maybe contribute on the field, in my last year of eligibility.
Peyton Newell Transferring to Kansas State?

In a vacuum, yes. If you have any desire to try to go pro, and you need to get on film, you don't sit for one coach when you may play for another, even if there may be a difference in the coaches' pedigrees. In this case, can't currently say that Bill Snyder is a step down from Frost.

Isn’t there a risk there that you might not play? Kind of makes sense but then it doesn’t. Best of luck kid, sorry about the old staff

Doesn't matter if it's a step down, and this has nothing to do about getting film out. It's about playing. In the next scheme, he most likely isn't going to fit. Go somewhere and play. It's his SR season, it's his last rodeo, get on the field, where ever that may be and play the game you love. If by chance he gets lucky enough to get tape for the NFL great, but this is more likely him going, I've got one more year of organized football left, do I want to be a practice dummy or go somewhere and get meaningful snaps? Me, knowing it's my last season, I'm going somewhere where I can get meaningful snaps.
Sure. But, I'm assuming he's had the necessary conversations that makes him believe he has a much less shot at playing time with Frost than Snyder.

He's also from Kansas, so he may just want to go back. Sucks he never worked out here. Was pretty highly rated, with a pretty dang good offer list out of HS. Kansas state also recruited him out of HS, so there's probably some pre-existing relationship here.

Who cares what his motivations are. He got his degree and gave this program 4 years. He's exactly what you want in a student athlete at Nebraska:

He's a grad transfer, so he's eligible to play in 2018, which will be his final year unless he gets a medical waiver granting him a sixth year.

Yeah, I understand it's 3 different situations. However, I guess my perception is that they all fell short of expectations and not necessarily just the expectations at the time they were recruited. DPE may have been a mid level 3 star but after some early flashes of brilliance...nada. And yeah he had injuries but still it seems like we've had more than our fair share not contribute much and many others fall well short of expectations. I guess the easy answer for most of it is coaching with some other circumstances added on top of it.

This is the problem with only looking at recruiting rankings and saying that "the talent is there." People need to look at the talent that stayed and what that talent did in 3-4 years.
It's not always "the coach didn't develop them." Sometimes they just aren't good enough for the team or they don't fit with the scheme anymore. Better they grad transfer and use someone else's scholarship and take another crack at it and free something up at Nebraska for a new player.
