Yes that is about all we can do. Encourage the kids not to quit. I have had family members I go watch on losing teams who individually don't play that well and know the feeling well. Too bad
Morning After Discussion
- Thread starter Uenth
- Start date
The day after.....
I was a little disappointed to not see that Frost was fired or stepped down this morning.
Next week, WWE wrestling has a premium live event in Wales that starts 2 1/2 hours before the Nebraska game. It probably won't be over by kickoff. I'm debating if I pause it and watch the Nebraska game or just miss a portion of the Nebraska game. I'm leaning towards missing the Nebraska game. That is how I feel about Nebraska anymore. I'd almost rather watch a predetermined physical soap opera than Nebraska football.

When you retool the entire offense, add 22 portal players breakdowns could be more than one would expect but what it said to me is that the smug personality of HCSF is still too evident in this program. After 5 F&^%$# years he still hasn’t learned to let his highly paid staff do there “only” jobs. Is it OCD, ADD, ADHD or the penchant to be the ultimate control freak?
I seriously doubt Bill Busch would of made that call, I doubt OCMW wanted Casey Thompson as QB1(why he deferred). Speaking of CT, is CT really an upgrade over AM2? CT is strictly a pocket passer and the offense is missing the element of a dual threat QB. HCPF/DC recognized this during preparation and schemed accordingly. If CT was so valuable to UT why did they let him go so easily for an unproven QB?
While I hoped for a turning of the page, I realized that after yesterdays game its gonna be a another head banging against the wall season unless the AD has the stones to terminate him sooner than later.
These comments come from someone who really wants HCSF to succeed…..

I know he was frustrated by some of what he was seeing, he also got his wrist slapped by someone in the AD for "talking out of turn" on BHF. I think he's pretty much in a lose-lose situation. He's busy, disappointed as hell and I don't blame him for not hanging around here much, or not at all.I just posted my take on the Doc H thread fwiw.
As I politely declined a refill on Kool-Aid in the off-season, I pointed out that this team will go as far as the OL will take it. The OL failed to open many holes for what I think are fairly good backs. In fact, I thought Northwestern owned the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, especially in the second half.
It doesn't take a genius to see that Nebraska won't win many B1G games if they lose in the trenches. As Frost is a native Nebraskan and a former QB at NU, it mystifies me beyond explanation how he didn't prioritize the OL in his first few seasons and set us up for some kind of success. At the end of year four, he hired a guy with limited experience to fix the most crucial aspect of the team.
The on-sides kick call might be remembered for being the "beginning of the end" for Frost, but it is the inexplicable failure to create strong line play that will be the reason one for his failure.
I still want Frost to succeed. Another coaching change means more losing, at least in the short term. But after yesterday, it's starting to look like he'll need a lot of good fortune just to get to 4-2 by the halfway point of the season. Good fortune and Scott Frost haven't really matched up too well.

The results of Frost's entire coaching career at Nebraska are inexplicable to me. He should have known what was working when he was our QB and should have known where his priorities should have been.
Like you, I still want Frost to succeed. He's one of us and it was always apparent how much passion he had for the program.
The thought of starting a new coaching search and building from scratch again leave an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Ugh! But something's gotta change and fast.
Exactly one game into the 2022 campaign and the cracks in the foundation have surfaced already. I'm guessing that old crusty eff Whipple is not too happy with Frost throwing him under the bus after the first game. Whip spent years in the NFL and was OC at both Miami and Pitt and Frost made it sound like he was ill prepared to deal with the complexities of the B1G. The strange thing is that nothing was made of his buddy Chinander and the awful job he did with preparing the defense but he was quick to point out the issues with the offense. The implosion has begun. October 2nd can't get here soon enough.
Nebraska had 2 tackles for loss and 1 QBH.
Those were all done by DBs.
The DL and LB were horrid.

The defense is weak, and the offense is mediocre. However, the reason for the loss was that lame call for an onside kick when we were up by two scores and had all the Mo.
The fact is, Frost again has found a way to lose a game due to stupidity.

Nebraska didn't look bad until that dingdong onside kick.
And then THAT side of the Frost era came back.
It's honestly not being snakepit. Frost is on an island. He can't step off an island he chose to run off to in the first place. He's just repeating himself anymore. Stagnant. We always seem to bare his losses with compassion.
I never knew him personally but knew his nephew. He knew I thought 'Scotty' was a good run-style QB. He would tell stories about his uncle, good and bad. The bad were rather bizarre but sadly regularly were eventually public at some point. His nephew told me about crashing his car out in Iowa and some other stories that were slow to hit the news. Frost was always protected from himself. Sadly it drains the life out of the people around them. Not sure what happened to that family, they just kind of left the area. But, oh boy, was hoping he'd of changed when he got responsibilities. I'm thinking Frost is not firing on all cylinders as a head coach. Just hope everything else is better than what we see on Saturdays.

How many Northwestern drives were kept alive by missed tackles? How many more yards after catch did they have because of missed tackles? That is what frustrates me, basic fundamentals are lacking after 5 years. WTF?
