The true colors of posters here continue to come out.
Some are still so upset Riley got fired and didnt work out that they are clearly letting it cloud their judgement. They are also becoming more and more hostile toward the Frost excitement and fanbase and are trying to push the "you wont have the same parameters for frost as did riley boo hoo hoo its not fair". Cry me a river you wimps. Heres the problem: these two situations are entirely different and to pretend otherwise is simply moronic. There are not a bunch of controlled variables at play. We just had the worst three years in the past 80 years of husker football, and are coming off the worst year Nebraska has had since WWII. The worst.
Things are not the same as they were when Riley took over. They are worse.
Any measure you try to use to say they are better is purely subjective and biased. We got shit stomped by very bad teams this year...which is fact. We have serious strength and consitioning problems, which is fact. We were probably one of the worst 20 teams in all off division 1 football.
Now before all you babies get your panties in a bunch, everthing I just said does not mean the following:
-Riley didnt have it tough. He did. Bo wasnt a great recruiter. But kids also left when bo left. And there were a few bad apples but its not to the extent some make it seem,
-Frost will be given a longer leash. NO. If Frost has the same results in three years as Riley he should be canned as well. The reason the butthurt coalition can ridicule everyone and say "frost will get a longer leash its not fair you hypocrites waaa waaaa" is because they know their theory wont be tested because frost will do better than riley. Theres no eay frost only has 4 wins in year 3.
As far as the roster crap, as others have said, theres no real evidence the roster is that much better. Neither were in great shape for different reasons. Also take into account what frost said during recruiting about secondary and recievers. We just had a great class and needed LB and RB as well and got a lot there, only missed on DL.
There is no real evidence of the roster being in much better shape. Thats what riley fans like to say because they made up their mind already a few years ago that riey would fix the roster. Its not substantive. Its hope and biased arguments, nothing more.
This isnt an excuse for Frost. I expect improvement and if we have a first year of questionable play calling and clock management that leads to losses and soft play ill be pissed.
But stop pretending riley had it so much worse than frost does, because it is false. The team is in much worse shape than ever, because they have a soft, losing, fragile mentality.
The goal posts have not moved, we are kicking from the 55 instead of the 35 like riley was. Riley moved us back, lets hope frost can move use closer to the goal.
I suggest you people GET OVER IT.
