Here I am again and wanted to say I watched Frost on TV and it reminded me of another thing that I think separates him from an great coach. He kept saying this player or that player didn't do this or that or kicked it wrong not mentioning himself. In all of the years HF and KF have been at Iowa I haven't heard them ever throw a player under the bus for any reason. They have always taken the blame. I believe this filters down into the locker room which hurts moral and ends up in early transfers. Just my opinion.
This is a tiresome Iowa meme designed to steer players away from Nebraska.
You need to listen to Kirk's comments and Scott's comments more closely.
One example, on Saturday, in a losing game, Frost was asked what happened on the key play of the game. He said the punter punted the ball the wrong way. Did he name the punter? No. Did he tell the truth? Yes.
On Saturday after the escape against CSU, Ferentz was asked about the personal foul against LaPorta and the Petras interception. Kirk said both hurt his team and that they'd work on the issue. Did he name the tight end and quarterback? No. Did he tell the truth? Yes.
At 65 years old (entering his last two or three years, though the racism trial may shorten that even more — see we can create damaging memes too), Kirk is a seasoned practitioner of "coach-speak." He has learned to use the pronoun "we" better than Frost has, but what's the difference between saying, "Petras shouldn't throw interceptions" after another spectacular Petras blunder and "We shouldn't throw interceptions"? No difference other than a proper noun vs. a vague pronoun. Yet everybody knows about whom he's talking.
Should Frost have said "WE should have punted it right instead of left"? Would that soothe your soul?
It's "morale," not "moral." And you know what destroys morale? Twenty years of hiring and coddling overt racists on your coaching staff and getting sued by numerous players because of it.
Is Kirk a better coach than Scott? Absolutely. Is he a better person? Nope.
Here's my opinion: Go Terps!
