But to get on topic, I never once said getting A kicker from a FCS school is a bad thing. However I do not see how someone cant find it comical that we literally took both of an FCS teams kickers. Like out of all the FCS kickers we get two from the same school. That is funny to me. I am confident the one going on scholarship should be an improvement on our roster. Still funny we were like hell yeah we want both of em. Starter and the backup damnit! ha

There are gaps to fill, but hypothetically if we got zero new players from the portal from what we already have committed, I'd still feel that this roster should win 7-8 games next year. The issue the last couple years has been more mental than physical.

Without question, the mental part of the game is the biggest deficiency right now.  You are correct on that point.

Speaking of great mentality and approach to the game, let me say that I watched the Nebraska vs. Texas women's volleyball match over the weekend.  Coach Cook and the team went into the lion's den in Austin and really demonstrated grit and resilience.  Watching how Coach Cook controlled the action not only through timeouts, but also through challenges was a great example of the mental part of the game on display.  Each time Texas was prepared to go on a run, Coach stepped in to slow the tidal wave and get his team re-trenched.  Congrats to the ladies on a Final Four appearance!

Let's just face it, we do not have that level of coaching talent in the football program right now...

I agree, Frost is not at this time on the same level as one of the best coaches that has ever led any sport team in John Cook. And yet, people will talk out both sides of their mouth by

1) insisting that if our football coach is not a championship level coach RIGHT NOW we should can him and move on

2) also insisting that no high level coach or player would ever logically come to a place like Nebraska

I'm reminded why I didn't look at this message board for a couple years LOL

Missing the point.  No expectation of any championships, league or otherwise, in the near or perhaps distant future.  Progress is the name of the game here...

My point was aimed at our propensity to lose repeatedly in one score football games.  You cannot deny that inability to manage the pace and flow of these games is responsible to a large degree in losing close so often.  We simply lack the mettle when the game pressure is at its' zenith to produce results. 

The Coach is responsible for that aspect and you could see that on display on Saturday night.  Texas had not lost in that building in 2 years, and had only a single loss all season coming in.  TX too has a terrific coach so it was a true match of wits.  Cook managed the game pressure and the emotion well, and led a very young team to a terrific win.

Repeated collapses late in games is a failure of the coach as he has allowed the game to get away from his team.  It is time for this coach to detach from the tactical elements once and for all and focus on the in-game strategy.  He simply is too buried in game details to see the game trends, let alone how to shape them.

As far as #2 goes, I believe that elite kids will come to Nebraska… if they have a reason. The problem is, right now there’s no reason for them to come here.

To be fair, I believe Frost tried that once, calling timeouts to slow down the momentum of the other team. Problem is, Nebraska was out of timeouts 34 seconds after the opening kickoff  :lol:  Of course it didn’t help that two of them were taken prior to the first snap of the game.
