Ex-Nebraska QB Adrian Martinez says Kansas State is 'most talented squad' in career

[southernoregonhusker]

Not sure I buy that, Riley made a lot of questionable decisions and caused a massive talent departure the longer he stayed. Doesn't mean Frost was better, but Riley was not a good coach in any stretch... took our program backwards... Frost just continued with it. 

Riley didn't take the program backwards.  He had the team taken away from him after his second season when the boosters forced Bob Diaco onto the staff.  Riley gave up knowing he would get blamed for Diaco's joke of a defense.  I'm not okay with him giving up, but I understand it.

Wow, they named 2 coaches who basically did everything they could to hamstring Adrian.  They should never be associated with him, they seem to be hinderance.

 

[CheeseHusker]

Well this development certainly does Frost no favors.

Good for Adrian. I am happy for that young man.

The talent was always there.

He took a lot of grief on this board over the years (including from me), but when you put his athletic talent along with a strong running game, good pass protection, and a coach who can manage a game - this kind of performance against OU is what you get.

His play tonight just reveals what competant coaching looks like. I still can't believe how awful Scott Frost's coaching tenure truly was at Nebraska.

So much this....In less than 1 year with Klieman, AM finally beats a ranked team.......And isn't the leading rusher for 3 years IIRC....Coaching matters.  A lot.

This just goes to show what I’ve suspected for a while: the enigma of AM is clearly an indictment on SF and the dude bros he brought with him

Victory formation!!

Kleiman along with Aranda from Baylor are definitely on the list.

I like what Kleiman asks of his offense when it comes to the running game.

Tonight he looks like a guy who knows how to effectively utilize the talent he has.

Which, of course, Frost no more understood than he recognized his a$$ from a hole in the ground.

And the guy who chewed cigars and did zero else.

edit changed smokes to chewed, no idea if he ever lit one up.

Eh let’s not go overboard. He was a dud against Tulane last week. Regardless, happy and proud of the kid.

goes to show what a competent defense, a lethal run game and most important; a coherent offensive game plan can do with a playmaker at qb. Too bad we had a dips#!t of a coach and a supporting coaching staff that is the epitome of incompetency the past 4 years 

 

[ColoradoHusk]

Adrian was always a good QB who had too much put on him to be the savior. He was surrounded by average talent and crappy coaching. I’m happy for the kid.

What could have been

And Warner gets the onside kick.  Id love to see Frost as he watched this.

Great job AM

 

[DefenderAO]

So happy for him.  

Congrats 9AM.  Well deserved, and I hope this season gives you the confidence to conquer much ahead of you.

Well this development certainly does Frost no favors.

With what we know now, Frost was a cancer on this program and he impacted all aspects of the program. The Chemo was needed after season 3 and unfortunately guys like Martinez had to endure the pain.
