Michigan State: What did we learn?

Umm...we have lost small often over Frosts 4 year tenure especially in season 1. I agree the defense has improved, but there is no way it should take more than 4 seasons for a coach that has the resources that Nebraska provides to finish above .500.  At some point we have to stop blaming the players or one assistant here and another there and look at the head coach who runs the team, has hired every single staff member and has brought on all the players he felt he needed.

And keeps paying a coach who literally makes QB's worse throughout their career but won't hire a ST guy.

Not sure where I said anything contrary to what you said but go on.

 
This loss is 100% on special teams.  God, they are an abomination.

Giving up a punt return in that situation is like fouling a 3 point shooter at the buzzer in a 4 point game.  It’s like walking 4 straight hitters on 16 pitches with a 1 run lead and 2 outs in the 9th.  It’s stuff that SIMPLY CANNOT HAPPEN!

The offense and defense played their asses off.  The special teams sold them out.

The guy covers up more s#!t on offense than a box of Pampers; at this rate, he's as valuable to this offense as Crouch was in '01.

I don’t disagree, yet he picks really inopportune times to make critical mistakes. Probably not fair to expect him to cover up the s#!tshow around him. Impossible to overcome the position the coaches and totally inept o line put this team in. I agree, he is the least of the problems and is often a bright spot. Unfortunately that’s not good enough and doesn’t mean d!(k when you can’t get the W’s.

Klatts comments obviously got a lot of attention because we played OU so close, but if he actually looked at the full resume of HCSF he would see we already have been in a position of losing close games since Year 1.  At some point a head coach needs to stop losing the close games and we have not seen that.

 
it's too fresh for me to think critically without bashing unnecessarily....so I'll leave you all with this....this is us the last two weeks

we can't even fair catch a kick..we have to let it roll for some reason.    simple f#&%ing s#!t that high school teams are doing better than the huskers can manage.   a directional punt going away from punt coverage is the icing on the cake.  our guys apparently have no f#&%ing idea what the hell they are suppose to do out there on special teams.    we need someone to spend a lot of time with them this week.

Of course. But over past years, I can't tell you how many times I was called a "Negative Nancy" and told that I need to find a new team to cheer for, etc. One thing I've found about Nebraska fans as a whole is that they don't handle criticism well at all.

Well I guess it depends on what you think the solutions to fixing these issues are. I don't know what you've said in the past specifically so I can't really say if I would be critical or not. I just know there are some people who think firing Frost is the solution. I disagree with that. But someone should be fired. *cough* Austin *cough*

That's why I said "we've been stuck on losing small".  Everyone knows Frost is coaching for his job.  Frost knows he is.

That's why I asked, can he win enough close games coming up?  I think the D will steal a couple.  They're playing that good.

No sunshine pump here.  I'm just seeing an experienced nearly elite level defense playing their hearts out.  That usually translates to wins.  If it doesn't, Frost is either out or sitting on a sizzling griddle heading into next year.
