Huskers Hold Players-Only Meeting

Nothing like a loss to Purdue to generate a players only meeting.  Hope it is as effective as the last post Purdue loss meeting.

Is that a hint at one of the parties involved in the meeting conflict, or just a random question? 247 has him on the travel roster for Wisconsin, and I thought I remembered seeing him on the sideline. On the field, no - he might've played a little against Troy or Michigan, but it feels like he's pretty much emergency NT depth at the moment.

Was only a question, because I haven't seen him play and I was also at the Wisconsin game and didn't notice him, he definitely could've been there though.

 
I am skeptical anything will come of this, but holding out hope it turns this season around.  Still not expecting a W in Madison, but not getting blown out and scoring 35 or more points in a close loss would be a nice sign of improvement.  (Meaning the game is close and competitive all the way through.)

This doesn’t affect my thoughts at all. There are a few things I think I know;

1- Frost is the best guy and maybe the only guy that can get this deal turned around.

2- Correcting 15 years of culture destruction, especially these last 4 years, is not and never was going to be a quick or easy job.

3- His job is not in jeopardy, this year or next year, no matter the results, so stop spewing your BS, as if this is the same scenario as we found ourselves in, with past few coaching staffs. It does no good, and actually promotes division. Yes, its great for the press, yet crappy for the team!

4- We still have some serious bumps in the road to experience.

4- We’ll get there when we get there. Like Scott, I know where this thing is headed. No doubt in my mind.

All we can do as fans is to grin and bear it until things do start to take off. Hope for the best and expect the worst would still seem prudent. I plan to stay engaged and positive so I am there to witness the transformation because it will be something to see.

This above +1, but I had to 

modify a tidbit.

 
Our scoring defense to date is 38.8 ppg.  This same staff at UCF gave up 25.3 ppg across all games in 2017 and a staggering 29.3 at home...my only concern with this hire was bringing on a questionable staff on the defensive side.  SF is the man for the job...but he may have to make some staff changes along with time to get the 'culture' back to where it needs to be.  I don't want to be too negative but the numbers don't lie.  I have no doubt that on the offensive side we are headed in the right direction but the D and ST...my goodness :(

I'm not ready to get rid of Chinander.  There is virtually no talent on defense.  The secondary stinks.  The inside linebackers stink.  The outside linebackers can't get pressure on the QB.  It's tough to blitz when your corners can't cover their own shadows.  That side of the ball needs a serious influx of talent before we can grade Chinander appropriately.  

 
Husker fans being husker fans. Already wanting to fire a coach after 4 damn games :facepalm:  Heres a weird idea, how about we actually try to have a little stability and keep these coaches around and let them get their own players in and develop them. I know its a weird idea for some but the way of firing coaches after 2-3 years hasnt been working so lets try a different way. 

 
Won't use names bc I don't know how true it is but heard a rumor that there was a scuffle between two players in this meeting.  Anyone else hear anything about this?

Well, then it wasn't the calm meeting we first heard about, I guess. Not that I like fighting, but at least we got some kids showing some kind of fight somewhere.
