Once the outrage cools, I think it will be clear what the realities are:
1. Frost is our man for the long term. He needs to mature and gain wisdom.
2. Frost needs to give up play calling, and we need to bring in assistants who can help mold Frost. When you surround yourself with buddies as Frost has done, you lack the kind of critical and honest assessment needed to fix problems.
3. Behind-the-scenes guys are detrimental to the program. A prime example is Frost's buddy from Wood River who I hear is a real negative influence on the team. A real jerk. I know Fidone's parents can't stand him, and it could lead to him de-committing. Change starts here.
4. The Big 10 doesn't hate Nebraska. For one, "the Big 10" is not a single mind. If you believe all the administrators, coaches, and referees in the Big 10 hate Nebraska, then you should be asking yourself why. People who are hated by everyone are called villains.
5. We have a deficit at the skill positions, and no relief in the 2021 class (not talking TE). We need to hit the transfer market hard. Wan'Dale and Betts are legit, Mills is serviceable, Luke, Alante and Martin are possible, but the rest do not inspire much hope once you ignore all the recruiting and spring practice hype. In fact, it seems to be a steep drop off.
6. We are not terrible. AM is above average. The defense is above average, or at least no worse than average. Kicking is more-or-less fixed. Now for a running game, a smarter game, a better plan of attack, better play calls, better culture, and better development.
