Nebraska is simply a poorly coached team
- Thread starter Phat-ass
- Start date
Top to bottom the team on the field today looks pretty much exactly like the team we started the season with. Horrid execution, no push on the O line, consistent mental mistakes and penalties.
Yep. Nice go at it, but the audition is over. Move forward with the search.
Nobody in or around the football team has any effin' clue what to do with this team. We will be 3-9 at the end of this year. Time to clean house.
up 3 and driving when our quarterback when out
the asshole who used to coach our team should be stretched out on the rack in front of the TO statue - every fan gets a turn at the wheel

Actually two years too late. Frost should have been fired after the 2020 season.
Nebraska has been a poorly coached team for the last several years. Pretty obvious.
As long as the fans keep packing the stadium, the powers that be have no incentive to make a big hire.
Should've been fired in 2019
I can't really disagree. I can understand the first losing season. I could forgive the second losing season if there was clear improvement from the first season. However, there was never any improvement in any of the following seasons.
Apparently you’ve not been looking the last few years. The current coaches inherited this disaster.
He gets to live with the honor of being the worst Nebraska football coach in history.
Yes, he got paid well for being a failure.
No for the most part we have very poor players. Saban could not win with these guys, Thompson, Grant and Palmer excluded.
You’re kind of a one trick pony, aren’t you? How many times are you going to make this same moronic post?
I would have given him the 2020 season. Coaches that inherit a bad program which Frost inherited deserve at least 3 years to show something. Frost didn't show something and should have been fired after his 3rd straight losing season. Every other big time program would have fired Frost then. Instead we gave him an extension. Insanity.
Bill Moos must have been drunk when he gave Scott Frost that extension.
It was one of the dumber extensions in college football history. There was no reason for it and Frost hadn't earned it. The Jimbo Fisher extensionw was worse, but Frost's extension is probably top 5 worst in cfb history.
This will be an unpopular opinion but the turning point of the entire game was when Rahmir Johnson dropped that wide open pass that was PERFECTLY thrown to him. I mean there was nobody - and I mean NOBODY - around him.
And the dude dropped it.
Five minutes later it was 20-9 Illinois and that was that.
Seriously, NU was up 9-6 and had total and complete control of the ballgame. They had all the momentum and Illinois was on its heels. Johnson dropped that perfect pass and immediately put NU off schedule. What could have been a huge gainer was instead 2nd and 10. They try to get some of the yardage back with a Grant run and he’s promptly tackled for a loss. Now it’s 3rd and 11 or whatever. And that’s when the floor falls out. NU’s paper mache Oline pretty much lets the entire Illinois Dline right through to Thompson who literally disappeared from sight. I couldn’t even see the kid. All I saw was a bunch of white jerseys and orange helmets. It was like there was no offensive line at all. Like imagine a 7 on 7 drill except the other team was playing with 11 guys. That was this play.
So Thompson gets hit just as he releases and (not) shockingly gets hurt. Illinois intercepts it and that…was…that. Ballgame.
All leading back to the Rahmir Johnson drop.
Now I know coaches and players like to say you win and lose as a team. And that’s true for the most part but football is a game of momentum. And NU continues to be its own worst enemy. All teams make mistakes but NU isn’t good enough to overcome them.
That Johnson drop was so emblematic of Nebraska football of the last 20 years. Snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. They really and truly cannot get out of their own way. And you know what the answer to that is? Good coaching.
A good coach emphasizes the mental aspect of the game, which is where 90% of football is actually played. Between the ears. And NU hasn’t had a coach that focused on that since TO.
Talent is a big part of that, yes. But it’s things Like discipline and fortitude that make a difference. Not having dumb penalties. Blown assignments. Missed tackles. Dropped passes. Those are mental errors. It’s what separates the okay teams from the truly good teams. And NU consistently finds ways to shoot themselves in the foot, and they’ve been doing that since 2002.
I’m a huge fan of MJ, but it might be best to clean house. They need a whole new perspective on the sideline.

You said earlier that we were at midfield. Now you say we were driving. I just went back and watched the play, it was 3rd and 11 and we were on our own 30. Winning 9-6. Not exactly in the drivers seat regardless of how you’re trying to spin it.
If no one was around him how did he get smacked one second after dropping it?
Which player(s) on the roster have the current coaches done a good job of developing this year?
They do. They're just too stupid to understand we need to a run based attack. When the passing game doesn't work, it is close to impossible to build a rhythm.
Yep offensive and defensive line needs addressing. I just have no understanding why they can figure this out over 20 year period. Just baffles me how coaches do not understand defense wins so called championships and offensive lines make poor qb play at least a still winnable game when all looks bad. We are the dumbest college football team in America when you look at how many great things we have going on at our university.
What happens when your running game isn't working? Then you have to be able to pass the ball.
A few bitches:
1. Stop dancing around and get the F upfield! Get the 1st down!
2. Make a TFL… if you get your hands on the ball carrier in the backfield, don’t let them slip away for a positive gain! It’s maddening how poorly the team tackles.
3. Why go away from Grant! Two plays in 1Q and he was rolling with 40+ yards.
4. Just a lot of individuals and big egos on the team. Guess that’s the best money can buy. NIL!
5. Program needs a driven leader as HC. Ability to recruit and develop. Has to bring in top talent at OC and DC or we will continue being a poverty program like Vandy, Kansas, and Indiana.
6. How bad are we? We’re in a winnable division arguably the most winnable in P5 and we’ve now lost 3 years in a row to Illinois, 7 to Iowa, 3 to Purdue… 4 to Minnesota? JFC the product on the field is a complete embarrassment to the state and fans that support the program. It’s almost criminal how the fans get ZERO ROI from this program. Frost fleeced us…

Put backup o-line at TE and start wearing down those smaller defenders.
Purdy was whip's guy. He either has zero talent or there's been zero development. You can turn on game after game around the country and see competent play from 2nd and sometimes even third string QBs. Our backup looks like he wouldn't start for multiple high school teams in the state.
This team has terrible offensive line. That has nothing to do with MJ.
Yes. We don't have a head coach or DC right now. So, yes, you're right. Mickey Joseph and Bill Busch are not qualified to be HC and DC. they should be WR coach and ST coach/Recruiting Coordinator
It is true that our OL is and has been awful, horrible, mind numbingly bad and more. no foot movement, not using their arms, not getting to pad height, etc.
However, I do hold MJ / MW accountable for not making one iota of improvement since he took over. He should have fired DR and inserted any competent OL coach (college or high school) or retired player.
How do you fix the lack of talent? You can't really fire them.
