This is a big reason I'm not on the fire Frost train. We haven't had a team this good generally in over a decade. Unfortunately we haven't had a team this bad at winning in over half a century. Its a bit of a head scratcher and certainly a reason Frost is on the hot seat. Winning games is the ultimate goal. But you win games by putting together a good team. In a way he is doing that. A weird phenomena to say the least
Frost has gotten us into this statistical neighborhood, but he's also cost us games with poor clock management, baffling play-calling, and failure to develop depth at QB.
I don't know where I'm at on the Keep Frost/Fire Frost debate. But there's plenty of ammo for either argument.
Our stats are fairly solid in most of the areas they need to be. However, it is the little details where we are off the map bad.
There is a legitimate argument that this team is vastly improved. The guys saying the team is close are correct. However, I am really beginning to question if Frost and staff have the ability to fix the details. It honestly feels like we have a staff full of good assistants, Scott included, but no leader to put it all together.
I still think Scott can save his job with a couple of wins but for the first time in 4 years I'm not convinced I want him to.
Is it surprising? We all watch this team every week...We consistently lose in special teams, turnovers, and in the redzone. Thats how you completely negate everything else, and lose games in the B1G.
Pretty amazing - great production but no corresponding results in the win/lost column. Is it coaching, culture, execution by players only? All pretty frustrating.
Offensive and Defensive efficiency is just another useless data point if we are not getting wins. Poor special teams, untimely turnovers, dumb penalties, etc... all tie back to team discipline which is part of the culture that the head coach is supposed to instill. We are 4 years in and do not have a winning culture.
Fire him, dont fire him. But if they do, they have to have someone who makes Nebraska instantly better. And not necessarily just based on wins. If Nebraska gets back into the routine of consistently getting beat by 4 plus TDs against the top teams in the conference but is starts generating 6-8 wins on an easier strength of schedule, then firing Frost imo will have been a bad move. The idea should be that Frost has put everything else into place, where only a few things need fixing by the next coaching regime to put Nebraska on the right side. It has to be the right hire. Not mike riley 2.0 and we're back to a team full of ice cream lickers with no teeth because their getting curb stomped by the big boys of the conference.
