so you think AM told Frost he's out prior to the season ending?
I doubt that anyone on this board knows what actually happened.
well, we know the decision was made prior to the iowa game
When a four-year starter transfers out of a program with no proven backups pushing him, that tells me all I need to know. A winner stays and finishes the job. He was shown the door
We will in 20 years after our next 5 nattys when they make a 30 for 30 on our program, frost will be the AD firing zac Taylor after a 9-3 season only to hire our savior ….joe ganz. Then we slide into another 30 year shit storm
No. Maybe he was sick of taking 100% of the criticism from fans for 4 years, when most of the times the reasons we lost had to do with stupid penalties, inability to run the football, inability to protect 2AM, poor ST, and inexplicable mistakes at precisely the wrong time in the game. Maybe he was sick of that and wanted a change of scenery. He can win at K-State, you know.
I don’t think Martinez cared what the fans thought, again if the story is true that all Adrian did during the off season Was no workouts but smoke weed Good luck kst you can have him
Your insight is really valued in terms of scouting future couching talent. Im also sure you have a deep understanding of Kade Warner's football intellect. I respect you sharing your knowledge with the group.
But you don't know if the story is true, do you? And it's odd that if it's indeed true, his teammates would vote him team captain for an unprecedented 3rd time in his career.
old enough to employ simple deductive reasoning
Because as everyone knows, it is insanity to keep doing the same things and expect a different result. Our defense was respectable while not great. Our special teams and lack of offensive production were a disaster. Both have been addressed in the off season.
Stupid fumbles, interceptions, not throwing the ball away, running out of bounds short of the first down....
AM is at his best when the ball is not in his hands
Two scoop and scores in NU 2021 losses. One very well may have been decisive to the outcome of the game. Critical fumbles. It's hard to criticize AM for the mistakes, cause at times it seemed as if he was the only player trying to win the game. But a crucial error in service of trying to win actually gets the team further away from the goal. And there were far too many of these.
It's amazing that someone could have watched the QB play here the last 4 seasons and say "that's fine, more of that please".
Agree with everything except the only player trying to win comment. Trying to win comes in many forms, not just on the field in games. Martinez was not a good leader at Nebraska. As I stated before his Cali-cool attitude doesn't always play well with guys in the trenches. The inability to hit open receivers usually kills the motivation of receivers. The take the ball and run option that he employed many times, also kills the motivation of open receivers. As I wrote above, whenever you saw him on the sidelines it was usually alone or only with a few dudes and I don't recall seeing him celebrating someone else's scores. He was never in anyone's face and to me gave off the vibe of you all suck and I have to do this on my own.
I didn't pay much attention to Martinez on the sideline and I don't know what he was doing when out of the stadium. My familiarity with the passing game is low, but it would suck to have a sweet set of routes executed on a play only to have him not see the best option, or possibly any of the options. And as far as the run or pass thing, just as he should have passed instead of ran, there were plays were the yardage was right in front of him if he made the decision to run. Instead he hesitated and the opportunity closed.
Saw the guy make a lot of 1st downs with his legs and know exactly where the marker was. Lots of fumbles and INTs occurred due to lack of protection from OL and not having anyone to throw to other than 5'9" Wandale Robinson after Morgan and Spielman left.
Would help if receivers had a QB that could throw the ball accurately and don't give me the O line speal. Been to a game and watched QB warm-up drills? Least consistent accurate QB on the team
Mark Whipple Nebraska first interview. At 31:30 (last question) the question is "I talked to one of your former quarterbacks and he said we were taught to get rid of the ball fast". Whipple laughed and said, "Yeah, guys who hold onto the ball ain't getting it done. Hanging onto the ball doesn't do anybody any good".
yep. this was basically every single play when Frost didn't dictate that he immediately throw it to his very first read
and then AM runs right into the guy instead of stepping up in the pocket
tbf, it was five seconds (6 to 11 sec in the clip). But if you are in a drop back play near the endzone and you are holding the ball at 5 seconds after snap standing in the endzone, a saftety is a real probability.
