well I am not sure what others are doing, but generally speaking, the more aggressive the defense is, the more likelihood of getting a turnover (Int, strip ball, blocked kick) etc. But you also run the risk of getting burned by a big play too. Going for the Int instead of the tackle.. going for the big hit, and getting a targeting penalty etc.
I don't think anyone is saying he needs to be fired at this point. I do think, looking at his past body of work the last 3 years his Ds tend to give up yards and points. In the AAC that obviously worked out ok. The offense was able to make up the difference by scoring 50+ points per game. It may very well work here too. I think the Ds in the BIG10 are much better than the AAC and It makes me very nervous having to rely on our Offense to have to put up 45+ ppg. In my opinion I think the D needs to get much much better in order have a shot at even the West. I am not saying Chin can't adjust or adapt or get better recruits. I think for many it is just an area of concern right now and going forward.
Are you serious? That's how much time a head coach gets, not a coordinator.
That is a HUGE part to winning football games most of the time. This wasn't some top notch offense They rank somewhere in the middle of the pack. Against good BIG10 teams, that is a loss almost every time.
Agree 100%. It is year one, no need to go into panic mode. It is definitely something we should be a bit concerned about if we ever want to win anything of importance.
One of the worst resumes in major college football? What makes you say that? Was it his first year as a DC where he was a finalist for the Broyles Award or his second year where he was the DC of an undefeated team?
I guess I haven't heard many. I see people expressing concern for how the D is. I am one of them. If there are those saying he needs to be fired, yes it is way too soon for that. He needs at least another 2 years. If are still having the same issues then yes something might need to be done.
I could be way wrong, but I don't think Frosts focus is to have a great D. I think his focus is to have one of the best offenses in the country. I think his Ds are going to always be in the bottom half of the country. If he can win games consistently with scores like 55-35, nobody will care. They key is going to be can he have a great offense in the BIG10, who can put up 45+ points a game. As long as our D is good enough to hold teams under 35, knowing our Offensive will put up over 40 a win is a win. Doesn't matter if it is 24-3 or 55- 34. It just might take some getting use to for us Nebraska fans who have known great Ds.
That might be good for an occasional B1G title, but as far as winning a NC, I don't see it happening, not as long as the top SEC teams along with Clemson and a few others continue to have real good offense and killer defense.
Agree. Got to have a good balance of both to get to the top. I hope Frost realizes that as well.
I don’t know - maybe the fact that he has been a defensive coordinator for 3 years now and 2 of those 3 seasons he had a losing record. His defensive resume consisted of being an outside linebackers coach for 2 years at Oregon and an assistant defensive line coach for 1 year with the eagles. That’s pretty pathetic. Not as pathetic as our tacking or our run fits, but pathetic nonetheless. I don’t see a bunch of high end recruits lining up to play his scheme to turn things around either.
If your contention is that we shouldn’t be a proving ground for Coordinators, that’s fine... I won’t argue with you on that.
So you were talking out of your ass, gotcha. You said he has one of the worst resumes on college football, which is completely off base. No reason to keep digging. I understand being upset about the defense’s performance but what you are doing is beyond revisionist history.
The only one talking out of his ass is you - our defensive coordinator was never a finalist for the Broyles award like you claim - check again genius. You can take your revionist history and shove it in your hole because you obviously don’t have a clue. His coaching resume compared to other defensive coordinators at P5 schools is pathetic - not sure how you don’t see that. Keep telling everyone how great this guy is and will be - It isn’t based on any facts at all. We are currently 107th in total defense - which would be worse if we didn’t play FCS Bethune Cookman and we have 2 wins against D-1 schools.
How is this point proven? I watched the game, I LOVE that we won, and I think we are trending nicely but we got EVERY POSSIBLE BREAK....now is it nice that it happened FOR us? Yes...but that was a very average opponent that got 35 on us...Point proven.
Oregon was a field goal from a national title...in a low scoring game...this formula works, and nobody ever said Oregon had a great defense. We will eventually be top 30 but won't be 2009, or 1997 for that matter.
I was thinking about the Oregon/Auburn game last night. FG as time expired from inside the 10 if I remember correctly.
My point is our coaching and qb are so superior that it lead to a blow out. Their back can single handedly carry their team, if they let him...8 ypc...wtf! They seemed content on letting bush shot put the ball into a 20 mph wind...Oz is good...but not on his level....Illinois has some good talent...
i remember when a Heisman winning I-back left the orange bowl via a lick on an ankle, we lost 31-30
