Re: Nebraska Football 2021-

The real problem is that Frost ever thought McCaffrey could be a D1 QB. In a matter of months, McCaffrey goes from a close battle for the starting spot to the portal. And in between, Frost tells us he's the future of the program and can move the offense down field. Apparently coaching stability is a...

Re: Nebraska Football 2020

I think not playing is the best decision for the program. Bowl practices and games are over rated in terms of future development. And this team is not going to get better at anything. It's best to end it and have coaches focus on recruiting and needed changes. Hopefully Frost has a plan. At the same...

Re: Nebraska Football 2020

I don't think I've seen a coach more disconnected from reality than Frost. He seems honest in press conferences instead of usual coach speak. So Nebraska really just had their best week of practice?

Re: Nebraska Football 2020

I don't see a way Nebraska can possibly keep this game close. Even if Iowa literally handed off the ball to Nebraska, Huskers don't have the offense to move 20 yards. I think Nebraska looks good on their opening drive. But once their scripted plays are over, they'll be lost again. Iowa knows how to ...

Re: Nebraska Football 2020

Stability only works when the current state is either a 'good stable' (winning games), or is improving (which it is not). Exactly. People seem to think stability is a cure. Does Riley become a better coach if he gets year 4? Do the beat downs stop if Pelini gets 8 or 9 years instead of 7? No, good ...

While I understand Nebraska not being in a position to make a coaching change after this season, they would be justified in doing so. Any other coach would be all but terminated by this point.

Re: Nebraska Football 2020

I think Frost looks just as in over his head as Riley, Pelini, and Callahan. Maybe his players haven't quit, yet, like Riley's. But he looks just as lost on the sideline and after games.

No way he gets canned this year. But I'll never understand giving him that early extension.

Re: Nebraska Football 2019

Frost looks in over his head, both in coaching and his emotions. He again placed some blame on previous coaches after the game. I'm not saying he's a complete bust. But his offense and defense were garbage this year. And special teams were in a category all their own. He has some challenges ahead.

Awful coaching. Jays could have inbounded to Marquette inside the 3 line and won the game.

Nebraska goes into half tied but should be up by a couple scores. After going up 7-0, Huskers gave up a 99 yard drive. Then Nebraska lets Iowa bleed the clock and score a touchdown after giving up a first down on a running into the kicker penalty. Brilliant coaching.

Huskers must not like momentum. Offense plays well, defense doesn't show up. Defense gets stops, offense goes three and out. Defense finally gets a pick six, then turns into a sieve the very next drive.
