Jojo podcast interview

[inWV]

With Wilhite and Foreman. Talked about the first year in the NFL and the situation at NU as he saw it. Not complimentary to the Frost regime. He said there was a lack of authenticity. Mentioned Ron Brown as a trusted guy he could go to, but no one on the coaching staff. Sounds like a half-assed situation.

Its too bad JoJo played under two of the worst coaches ever at NU. He was a throw-back player to a better time in our program's history.

A modern day Watchorn.

I will probably listen to this later but does he say what he means about lack of authenticity? Like, he felt the coaches didn't really care?

If the head coach himself doesn’t give a crap, no surprise other assistant’s would follow in his footsteps..

For sure, I just didn't get to listen to it yet so I was just wondering what he said.

 

[SuperBigFan]

By the way, is anyone else a total. sloot for "inside info" about the team from former players? I love. it

He said how coaches talk to the players is everything and if the coaches aren't leading with authenticity, they are leading the team down a sideways path. Things weren't genuine and over time those things stack up. Coaches are there to lead the team on a path, not off the path. Jojo would have to translate, but I assume some players were told one thing and others another.
Maybe Rhule has been giving us BS, but he has indicated he uses frank and honest communication with the players.

 

[inWV]

Things may be better next season simply because the coaching staff cares to make sure things are properly organized and that they are straight with the kids on the roster.

 

[RedMyMind]

Imagine being led by Frost

 

[SickOfPractice]

I interpreted "authenticity" as saying one thing and doing another.

If Frost expected punctuality from his players, and then Frost himself was late to practices, that would certainly be a lack of authenticity.
I'm just guessing.

 

[inWV]

Pretty clear that Frost didn’t have P5 level coaching chops and rather than working on that problem, he created other problems.

This is how I interpreted it as well. If he meant that the coaches were habitual liars and misled players through deceptive communications I think he would have said so. I think by "authentic" he meant exactly what you say here. That the coaches demanded hard work, attention to detail, and total dedication from the players, but showed none of those qualities themselves. And it all started with Frost who was, apparently, too drunk to give a shit most of the time.

Tried warning people, and the frosturbators wouldn’t listen. Now the program has been drug down to the depths moos, frost, and Davison insisted on. This is nothing new

Don’t bother. Super boring interview. 14 minutes of your life you’ll never get back.

Jojo is a boss. No one wants it more than him.

If Frost even bothered showing up.

My take on it is that there are a number of instances coming from a variety of angles. Just a guess, but one example of authenticity could be telling the kids that there is a hard line when it comes to rules and expectations and at the same time recruiting Maurice Washington and giving him chance after chance while playing him all the while.

 

[ExcellentBread]

It’s kind of hard to relate lack of authenticity with someone who reportedly doesn’t give a fheck based on actions and demeanor. From what I’ve read Frost, Bo and Riley seem more genuine than most coaches.

 

[HominidHusker]

Only speculation, but I also wonder about all the “we’re family” talk, and the effort put into forging genuine, sincere relationships with players.

That’s an easy topic to imagine all coaches talk about, but only some back it up 100%.

I’m sure a few coaches did better than others in that department.

Bo (I know just typing his name will freak out a few) probably had the best relationships with players that we have seen. His teams loved him, even when they got mad at him.

 

[RedCap]

Frost was obviously a huge failure as head coach in Lincoln. Too bad for us fans but for him, he at least made a financial fortune while failing in a huge way.

 

[Baxter48]

Kinda what a lot of us figured, just to bad the local media didn’t say anything after year two of his tenure

 

[BleedRed78]

That's about the time I was calling for him to go. It was obvious to most by that point unfortunately lol
