You absolutely can and must. Your own words in this thread above were "no excuses, win or end it." That is correct. It will be year 5. It is now 100% frosts players. The expectations should be sky high next season. Scott frost was not hired to go 6-6 and 5 seasons is very fair to any coach. We've been fair to him. It is now time he delivers for us.
One year from today

No question. It’s unfortunate because more disappointing losses are on the horizon for NU until Trev finds his guy and can finally cut ties with Frost at the end of next year. It’s a long term project for Trev—there’s no quick fix. We’re stuck for one more year until we see big changes.
Win or end it means different things. Win more than you lose counts at this point. Frost won’t be fired if he’s above .500 next year. Continued improvement will be the standard for the next few years. Like it or not. We’ve been down so long, the bar is lowered. That’s reality. You don’t turn this place around with a big hire. We’ve proven that.
A year from now, Huskers will be 5-7, but SO close we can feel it. They are finally getting it and really look great in practice. If not for those seven teams that ran a different defense than they did in the Spring game or stupidly ran it fifty times on that really windy day, Frost's men would have been undefeated. NEXT NEXT season they will be awesome. I hear they will have a stud QB coming in that year.
Trev's main job is to hire quality coaches. If he can't do that, he has no business being the Athletic Director here.
As I usually do, I have to ask which called plays were bad?
I think we’re as dead as the Turkey I cooked yesterday. And as tasty to our opponent.
8 wins minimum or his ass should be shown the door. If we aren't bowl eligible by October 1 he needs to be shown the door that morning.
Nebraska was the betting favorite in 4 of the 9 losses. Don’t give me that schedule crap.
What have you seen over the past 4 years that would make you think Indiana or Rutgers are wins?
Nope. We havent been down for long. 8 of the 10 seasons before frost took over were 9 win seasons. Time frost wins at the pace we expect. He absolutely should be fired at 7-5 next year. Five years is more than fair to produce a winner. 6 wins was supposed to be the floor. You cant just keep pushing that out. Next year 8 wins minimum or bye bye
Rutgers will bitch slap us. Schiano is building that team just like he did the first time.
I agree with you that we will find a way to lose at least 1.
I was talking about EXPECTATIONS. Our fan base is becoming more and more pathetic with each loss. I almost expect them to say “oh well, we lost to Rutgers, but at least we played hard.”
Frost in year 5 should be expected to kick Rutgers and Indianas ass, and if he doesn’t it’s yet another justification to fire him
9-3? Yea because we have done so well vs our own division. We haven’t beat Iowa and Wisconsin in about a decade now.
