Austin Allen

[ColoradoHusk]

Watching teams that actually made it to bowls, they use their TE's better than NU did.  Especially in the red zone.  

I agree that not targeting Allen more in the red zone was a huge, glaring mistake by Frost's offense.

5) Frost is a piss poor playcaller 

6) Frost is a bad coach who's offense doesn't work. And instead of falling on his sword and say "my offense doesn't work," he throws his offensive staff under the bus and fires them, as though he wasn't the idiot calling the plays.

**Sorry man Frost hasn't done anything to earn the benefit of the doubt.

Both of these points are just, well wrong.

5. Frost is a piss poor *situational* play caller and tends to panic/overreact.

6. Frost is currently a bad coach who still has a very solid offensive scheme but likes to blame everyone else and has a ton of growing up to do.

Some of the takes...smh.  Not even worth a rebuttal.

Underutilizing tight ends is a problem that predates Frost's tenure by over a decade.   It's basically our offensive identity as a program.

*flashbacks of Mike McNeil doing literal jumping jacks to indicate he's wide open*

With the B1G accolades, why was he not invited to the NFL combine.  I thought he did  a great job for NU this year.  I thought he'd be a lock for the NFL. Maybe that's just my homer fan glasses.

Maybe we should call him "Awesome" Allen.

probably because we leveraged about 25% of his potential between play-calls that egregiously ignored his presence coupled with a qb who somehow found a way to overthrow a 6'9 target consistently 

He's an NFL lock in my mind, perhaps not the most top end speed compared to some of the other freak TEs in the league as of late but Id be shocked if a team doesnt spend a mid/late pick on him (4-6)

I’m thinking late 3rd round or early 4. Talented tall TE have become a prized position in the nfl

I'm thinking the same thing.  3rd round seems reasonable for sure.  You can't teach size.  And he has it.  You don't get the B1G TE for nothing.  Looking at the TE's the B1G has and has put in the league.  But again, I'm biased.

Is there any easier job than being a critic?
