Still think Whipple, Raiola, and Joseph are an upgrade at all 3 positions. If these are Frost's choices I'm on board.

I'm a little confused, Doc. Just hours ago you said,
"His QB coaching is fantastic as most of you know but I'm more interested in the meat n taters stuff and this guy loves old school run it down your throat ball. He has never really had the talent level to work with like he will at Nebraska plus he is 64 yrs old so and been a H.C. more than a couple of times and could be a great influence on Frost.
I'm liking everything I find and read about him."
Somebody on one of the other boards said he was a run first coach and people jumped on before checking the guys history. People are just getting stir crazy waiting for a coach to be named.
People are going to find something wrong with whoever is selected.
Non-persons won't innmc. I'm all in irregardless. As I said Frost has much more to lose than us. Hope he gets his UCF mojo back next year.
Which begs the question...Is there really such a thing as insider information or are we all just getting regurgitated nonsense from other unreliable sources? If Whipple coached Rothschild for the Steelers and a Heisman finalist this year I say we should take a deep breath and give the guy a chance if he is Frost's choice.
Your post made me sad. It’s one thing as a fan in the glory days but to have built it…and sit back and watch it erode to this point has to be incredibly hard. When I read your thoughts I was wondering what the heck Osborne must be thinking. Heartbreaking.
Take care
It's definitely not the same as it was 15-20 years ago, but I think that there are still a few people with inside knowledge that share stuff on the boards. Most of it is just spitballing though.
Good point, good coaches coach to their strengths. Having a Heisman quality QB might be a good reason to throw the ball more.
Not sure why they would tell you to keep your trap shut, we were already discussing him as a possibility and it was mentioned on various sites before you even said anything.
Mark Whipple, huh. Better find a quarterback who can sling it 35 times a game and some tackles who can at least offer some sort of resistance. We currently have neither on our roster.
Joseph and Raiola are large upgrades over what we had so I like that. Whipple could be an upgrade if we can get the pieces in the portal. I like that he's an older, experienced guy. The last thing Frost needs is more young bros on this coaching staff. Someone who is experienced and has been through the ringer can possibly be a steadying hand. But if we don't go find the pieces needed in the portal, Whipple could be Diaco 2.0. I mean given the situation that we are in though, it's not like we have a ton of great options. I personally would have liked a more power spread guy but whatever.

Doc, didn't you hear we were heading to OU ready for a steady dose of power run fb and then Frost came out with the same bs?
We have all heard by now that Frost has changed up the game plan at the last minute several times and frustrated coaches and players. Sounds like he either loves playing the misinformation game, even to the point of doing it to those in the program.

I know what his M.O. is up there in Pittsburgh but I don't feel like that's necessarily what him or Frosty will do when he arrives in Lincoln. Coach Whipple has been around quite a few teams, both in the NCAA and the NFL. I'm positive that he has a full deck of game cards that includes both aerial and ground attacks. EXPERIENCE is what I'm liking here upon first glance.

Go to the coaching career tab. Looks like he's always been a pass-first, pass-second, pass-again kind of coach to me.

You just wait. That might have been true for "Mister" Whipple the past 41 years, but trust Frost, he's gonna come into the B1G and call a run-heavy game from now on!!!!*
