Biggest Problems:
1. Special teams
2. Offensive scheme/consistency
3. Offensive line play/technique
4. Running back play/talent
5. QB play/development
6. Penalties/overall team discipline
7. Elite difference makers on D
Biggest Strengths:
1. Defense across the board. Solid to good on all levels with adequate depth
2. Playmaker QB
3. Playmaker receivers
I am as frustrated as anyone with Frost but I wanted to articulate my opinions on what our strengths and weaknesses are and what I think is the best case scenario for NU going forward.
We need to keep Frost, fire Austin, fire Verduzco, hire a full time ST coach and hire a proven Offensive Coordinator that can work with the talent we have and create a Scheme that will work in the BIG west. That includes recruiting BIG running backs.
We have a little bit of talent and depth building across the board and some continuity on defense for the first time in many years.
If we can Frost now we have to start all over again and that might set us another 3,4,5 years. We finally have something to build on.
I know those are a lot of things to change and fix and many think Frost is too stubborn to make the necessary changes. If he can't, Trev needs to put his feet to the fire.
If Frost refuses, well then we need to find a new head coach, because the current make up of our team, staff, schemes, personnel and culture isn't going to get it done.
We will find ourselves trying to scratch for a bowl game every year while usually falling short.
That's just my two cents, but there is a path to success if Frost can nut up and make some big boy Head Coach decisions.
Now let's go out and beat Northwestern by 4
TDs and try like hell to get to 6 wins.
