After what we all just witnessed I honestly don't think a new Offensive Coordinator, Offensive Line Coach, Running Back Coach, and Receiver Coach are going to make that much of a difference next year.

The problem is with the head coach.

Tough one possession loss to a top 25 team. Heck of a fight.

At least we have the FBS record.  Maybe a "this close" trophy we could hand out.  

 

[chamrocck]

DiNardo spot on, bad special teams or lack of focus on special teams reflects poor leadership. 

 

[Jeremy]

We don't get sacked on 1st and 10 at our own 6 if we run A-back Counter. We don't get sacked for a safety after that if we run a dive with the B-back.

Special teams is a sign of how well a team is coached. That is what experts say. Based on that, it tells you that Frost is not a good coach because his special teams have been atrocious all four of his years at the helm,

 

[Hammerhead]

If there's one silver lining, it's that if you count games where Nebraska beat Nebraska, we're 12-0 this year!

 

[skers83]

I thought we had it at 21-6. Should have known better. If we were up 28-6 ,I think we still would have found a way to lose. :bang

BINGO.  Unless Frost makes great hires and then sits out as Head Coach, this program is going nowhere.  Frost is a HORRIBLE head coach and there is no way he should be given a 5th season.  

 

[Hayseed]

Why couldn't we have this all season?

Was Martinez really that big of a problem?

It's Frost.

 

[runningblind]

What OC in their right mind would come here. Calling my shot now.  You'll have to google the pick.

You're coming around.  I'm sorry.

 

[lo country]

My biggest concern is that we hit 6 wins and they proclaim what "progress" it is and it only prolongs the inevitable

Won't happen.  Rutgers, Indiana, North Dakota, Georgia Southern and who?  

 

[Frustrated]

It’s not false. I am not a Frost sunshine pumper. But to ignore lots of the bad calls this season is just to fit this fire Frost at all cost narrative. Frost sucks at attention to detail. So he’s already living on a razor thin edge. When refs blow calls and they have, this type of team that is sloppy to begin with will lose excruciating games like we have all grown accustomed to.

You're wrong. I'll keep saying it. You. are. wrong. Dead wrong. Sorry, but the refs aren't why we suck. A penalty is NOT bad because it goes against the Huskers. They called a terrible targeting call earlier and corrected it on replay. We got some make-up calls...it goes both ways. Good teams do not constantly complain about the officiating. they simply don't. It's trash talk. Please stop. We finished 3-9. We haven't beaten a ranked opponent in forever. We haven't competed for a conference title in forever. We can't even win the West Division...and that isn't because the refs don't want us to...it's because we aren't good enough to compete against the weaker division in our conference.

 

[Decked]

Won't happen.  Rutgers, Indiana, North Dakota, Georgia Southern and who?  

No way they beat rutgers 

 

[chamrocck]

The problem is there are lots of good teams needing a head coach. Mullen seems unfairly terminated. Heck I’d take him and let coach O coach defense and bring his LSU pals. Dang I’d be excited!

 

[The Duke]

Frost has proven he is unable to stick with what works. It has cost us for 4 seasons.

He's not as smart as he thinks he is. He needs to be fired.
