Who still has confidence in this staff?

[NorthwoodHusker]

Frost is going to get the time. Moos made that abundently clear when Frost's contract extension was announced. If we do not see a marked improvement next season, I am going to be extremely concerned because Frost will have 3 recruiting cycles under his belt -- more than enough time to have recruited players.

Frost and staff are young coaches. I'm hoping they spend some of the off season reflecting on changes they need to make as coaches to improve our program. If they don't, nothing is going to change. I want Frost to succeed here; in order for that to happen, Frost needs to make some changes within himself. As well as needing time and players. Just my opinion.

Just watched the post game comments of the players, night and day from the MR days, more like the Bo days, yet the players havnt gotten anywheres near that kind of success, to a man they are confident, and they know, this team has gotten better, is getting better, and are close.

Ive seen where weve lost like 3/4s of the close games under this staff, whereas I believe Bo was exactly the opposite. Granted, I hated winning close back then, but it beats losing close.
But my biggest takeaway is, our team is noheres near what we know its potential to be, yet that minute difference of winning vs losing those close ball games is a world of difference in perspective. A perspective not lost on those young plyers, as they know just how lose they truly are.
So, I'll keep beating my drum of positivity, knowing the future, those players know how close things really are, mixed in with a healthy dose of reality, where one coach who won those close games is considered a good coach, as we question a younger, much much more convicted coach who is likely to be much more flexble going forwards.

I honestly hope that Martinez turns out to be the QB that he looked like he was going to be in the last 6 games last year. Maybe he can get that back between now and fall camp 2020. However, I don't buy the notion that Frost is wedded to him. He's been around long enough to know that no matter how much you personally like a kid, the best players play. I think Frost knows that all of his QB options involve relatively young and inexperienced players.

I'm not a coach, but I have watched those miserable sideline passes fail for the Huskers more times than I can stomach. It seems to me that the receiver on that pass has to have lightening speed and moves. Without that, the play should be ripped out of his play book.

Why do running teams throw bombs? Passing teams run up the middle? Real question.

Watching Frost in his post game press conference has me even more concerned. Keeps moaning about the mess he inherited. Stop saying that. It's divisive. No wonder many of the players don't want to play hard for him. Plus, it's not relevant after 24 games and two seasons. This is your team Frost, own it. They are ALL your players, not some other coaches players. Stop spouting that idiotic excuse. Be a ******* leader. You keep saying you know where this is going. Really? Can you be more specific? What that is saying is, success will come when the other guys players are gone. That may be true, but damn, stop saying it, or else those guys are going to give you the big middle finger on game day. Good grief.

Well they did fight back from a huge deficit only to have the coach toss it down the drain

Seems to me if they show the sideline pass, with the numbers they have out there, we should be wide open over the middle.

If anyone believes that Nebraska has the players in place to win games against ranked teams or really good teams, then you have lost all rationality and reason. Nebraska's talent level is abysmal. As I've said, they have some decent players, even future stars, but they have too many average college football players. Bowl games and practices won't cure that.

 

[GIJoeRed]

Nebraska forced Iowa three and out for a loss of 7 yards on the next drive and Martinez was QB for the ensuing possession that went 60 yards for a TD on 13 plays. Nebraska's next possessions started at their own 9, 2 and 20 yard line but that last one started with a false start by Austin Allen to pretty much screw it up. People freaked out when Bo Pelini put Cody Green in as a freshman whenever Nebraska was pinned deep in their own territory, so coaches can't really win.

On every drive that bogged down, Martinez took too frigging long to decide what to do. I swear I heard Epinesas' name 100 times yesterday.

And looking at next years schedule, anyone who thinks the W/L record will be much different than this year can not back it up with any lucid rationality.

You think replacing Maryland with Penn State and playing Ohio State in yet another cross-over two-game set is tougher?

I'm still trying to understand why we played Michigan in the Big House last year but got no return home date with them this year.

All I know is we better handle business in our first seven games, or some seats are going to get white hot.

Two boneheaded miscalculations — one by a coach, another by a player — made the difference.

I just took a look at next seasons schedule. Man, the last five games are cringe worthy.

Nebraska got dealt one more painful dose of truth and reality in the final seconds of what has always been a lost season. Happy endings are nice, but honest humblings can be more beneficial in the long run.

After this game, you can't help but wonder what the QB picture will look like going forward. This game changed the conversation more than ever.

Scott Frost has to start coaching like the man Nebraska hired two years ago and not the man who stands at the podium lamenting the mistakes that cost Nebraska another game.

This season has made the sports reporters lazy, they have been able to cut and paste their questions from the Colorado game for most of their post game questions of Frost.

The difference between the two is striking Mike.

Sports reporters are the same ones building this team up to be world beaters. Then since they don't know crap they blame HCSF for not making their made up stories come true. Either way they know it all... NOT!

This is an off season thread topic... I really like 2AM and want him to get healthy... It is also exciting to see LM7.

The QB spot should be open for next season
