Trev has expectations. I'm guessing he won't fire Frost this year, as Frost is meeting his expectation of playing hard and playing good teams down to the wire. Beating teams like Purdue, Minny, NW also fit into the incremental progress Trev wants to see. Eventually the progress will move forward to where we are bowling and competing for division titles - or progress will cease. Trev won't keep Frost around just to keep him around, it will be earned. If Frost keeps it up, he will have earned next year.At this point I'm convinced that the people that want to see him fired are the same ones that have set this program on the path it's been on for 18 years now. Stability is going to be far better then pretending we can hire Saban from Bama and instantly be NC contenders or something equally as make-believe. I sure hope Trev has the stones to tell the fans calling for firings where they can stick their opinions on the coaching staff.
But you were unable to discern the obvious progress last night, a week ago and in the Oklahoma game? Interesting. But I guess you did say “get the win and it gives me more confidence”. It would seem to be an overly simplified manner of recognizing progress that really is only recognizing results. Anybody can look at a W-L record. Hopefully Trev doesn’t use your method but actually does see the progress.Next week will be a big progress game for me. You got a guy in Fleck that out coached you the last two years, he’s got a hot and cold team, but had two weeks prepare for you. Get the win and it gives me more confidence that the close losses are signs of progress.
Frost's "expectations" aren't any less than Trev's.Trev has expectations.

JFC. Give it a break. It’s annoying and wrong. You should feel bad and ashamed. Quit spouting nonsense.The only thing Frost did poorly last game was his first half play calling otherwise he actually outcoached Michigan. We could have blownout Michigan but you have got to take it out of Adrian Martinez hands in crunch time cause we all know how that plays out. Need to start looking at getting a different QB in there for a two min offense cause we now know Martinez is not an option, but unfortunately for Nebraska Cornhuskers no one is going to listen to me which is a shame
And that is why this losing record is better than Pelini’s signature 9 wins. Seriously. Some people don’t get it and never will. They only want to see a good record, not actually, really compete with top ten teams. Most knowledgeable fans my a$$.It's too bad this thread is still getting discussed.
I'm very curious to see how the team bounces back next week against Minnesota, but it's a really hard argument that Nebraska hasn't improved from the Week 0 dud against Illinois. And it's a really hard argument that they haven't improved from last year, or 2019, or 2018.
It's funny, because all under Bo Pelini we clamored for a team that would take Oklahoma, Michigan State, Michigan - Top 10 teams - down to the wire.
Where and who is claiming moral victories? Some people, my self included, are seeing significant progress from where this program has been for a very long time. That’s not claiming a moral victory. It is seeing reality and recognizing that the wins will come with this system and staff. Don’t be one to help re-f#&% it up.I’m not happy but at least content from yesterday. However, If we don’t beat Minnesota can the moral victory s#!t & and we are getting better crap it’s time for Frost to clear his desk.
I was frustrated last night, but have seen progress. I think it needs to culminate with beating poor-average teams. Losing to Purdue or Minny would negate losing close to good teams.But you were unable to discern the obvious progress last night, a week ago and in the Oklahoma game? Interesting.

I would agree. Losing to either of those would be a very concerning step backwards. Sort of how the Illinois loss has given a black eye to the 3 best games this team has played in Frost’s tenure. Have to find/make a way over the hump and around the corner.I was frustrated last night, but have seen progress. I think it needs to culminate with beating poor-average teams.

Yea I don't think thats even true.Saban knows, and T.O. knew to give credit to the team in victory and coaches take credit for a loss. That's how you become a coach with NCs under your belt. Frost has never taken credit for not having players ready for big moments. Ever. Not once in 4 years.
