yes we would be because we would have brought back practically the same team and would be substantially underperforming in year 4. Considering we are either .500 or worse against every team in the B1G West during Frosts tenure makes me think that saying we could have got to 8 wins last year the same as saying we could have got to 8 this year. Nothing that I have seen this season tells me if we played the entire season last year that we win more than we lose. Because Frost has yet to do that here in year 4.

The “what if” game hasn’t gotten anyone that far in life so it’s pointless to make it an argument. Are we not a results driven program? Frost’s record speaks for itself.

Yes, significantly underperforming against the toughest schedule in the nation. I watched us play 3 top 10 teams and thought we over performed against each of them.

and then you saw us poop our pants which is the most consistent part of the Frost tenure. The underperforming comment is in regards to the magical 8-4 season you have come up with for the original schedule last year. If we went 8-4 last year and were 3-5 this year then yeah that would be substantially underperforming.

The problem is that to get the entire Husker nation to get behind a new hire, Scott has to lose the rest of his games. It could happen. I am still around a few people that think Scott is the guy to get us back.
I don't think there is any evidence of that in these 4 seasons.
I thought he would get it done, I was wrong.

Agree to both. I'm one of the more optimistic guys on the forum but the results are what they are. I'm really hoping Nebraska can finish with momentum. If they can't, I really feel some changes are necessary. The thought of another "rebuild" sucks...

There is nothing in the past 3 years and this year that would have predicted we could have gone 8-4 last year. Therefore you start with a premise that is cannot be supported and a question that isn't justified.
The way we played last year does not justify thinking they could have gone 8-4. The D wasn't as good, and the O was even worse than this year.
No guarantee we would have beaten SDSU - they ended up coming up 2nd is the FCS NC game - probably would have won it if their starting QB didn't get knocked out of the game in the 1st quarter. Cinci very well could have been a loss as well as Wisc.

Actually 2 more years of the same would really suck. An actual rebuild would bring hope.

Oh Frost is definitely building something. He’s on his way to becoming the worst coach since Bill Jennings. Let that sink in for a moment.

all we have left is hope at this point in regards to our current staff because all metrics tell us to burn it all down.

If it happens, It will at minimum be initially depressing to most husker fans.
I do think Scott has had a lot of bad luck and things happened that were out of his control. Between scheduling, Covid, cancelled games, Transfer portal issues, players getting in legal trouble, etc he has had a hell of a challenge during the rebuild. People can argue intricacies about what was in or wasn't in his control but either way, it's been tough.
At this point, those excuses do have to be swept aside IF the team doesn't turn it around for the last 4 games. We have a few games left against teams that we can, and should, beat imo. Get that done and most would want him back for another year to see if the momentum continues.

If we have learned anything from the Frost era, it is that no wins are easy including against teams we should beat. I am not sure why you assume we would have beaten PSU, Purdue or Rutgers given Frost has a .323 winning percentage against Big Ten foes. When you start playing the "What If" game about past seasons, it's a sign there are few excuses left to justify reality.
