Our record for 2018 will be...
- Thread starter TribecaHusker
- Start date
So the last coach was that bad that the new coach should be expected to double his wins?
Only need a yes or no answer here...
Disagree about talent level and recruiting. You can research and see how many recruits Riley inherited from Pelini that were drafted and it's downright sad. I'll go on record and say Frost will inherit double the amount of guys from Riley that will be drafted.
Riley rot, No toxicity
Riley rot, Bo toxicity? Sounds like a bunch of B'S to me. Look, if you have a coach who's a winner, who demands respect, commands excellence, kids are going to see that and buy into it and adopt that same attitude. Maybe the attitude on the team is shit right now, but I expect that to do a 180 by the time the season starts. It shouldn't take multiple years before we start seeing the player's adopt a winning mentality. Wouldn't be surprised if an attitude adjustment is already starting to take effect.
Maybe that had something to do with the coaching they had while they were here..
Waiting for that excuse. So I'll play the game. Look at the guys that Pelini left that got drafted and draw your own conclusion.
Really tough schedule coming up. I'll say 7-5 in regular season, and 8-5 with the bowl game. The progress taking place will be easy to see.
I am and its about time some of our Husker "fans" get serious too. Look how the team did a nose dive when the fans called for Riley's firing. The team got down on themselves and got boat-raced. The opposite is true, I believe, when the fans get behind our team and believe they will win them all. Are we fans or not?
Akron W
Colorado W (gets a good win against an old foe)
Troy W
@ Michigan L (late score takes away the road win)
Purdue W
@ Wisconsin L (Wisky plays better smash mouth on the lines, but the game stays close into the 4th)
@ Northwestern w
Minnesota W (return the beat down with 4th qtr 21-0 run)
@ OSU L (depth of talent takes over mid-way through 3rd qtr but Huskers play hard to the end)
Illinois W
MSU W (senior day win in close game)
@ Iowa W (close game pulled out in 4th)
9-3 regular season, finish 2nd in division, get a good bowl game and win late to finish 10-3.

You believe in some far out stuff, that is for sure. It is a weak position to blame the fans for the teams failings, last years staff and players simply did not put in the work and they were exposed. Luckily Frost and Co. don't share your beliefs when it comes to on-field results. They understand positive thinking and good vibes can't beat hard work. This is the truth of the world, hoping and praying for success won't do shit. Putting in the work will. It's time to get to work, this staff is motivating the players to do just that. #GBR
Wasn't an excuse. I don't really care how many guys get drafted. I care about winning football games. Most of the players the last few years have been coached nowhere near to their potential. If you take a guy with the same level of talent and he had 4 years of good coaching at one school and would have had 4 years of bad coaching at another school, the guy with 4 years of solid coaching is going to play at a higher level and be drafted and the other guy won't get drafted even though they started out the same.
I love the optimism, but there's a slim chance 2018 could start off just as badly as 2017. Don't sleep on Troy, the Sun Belt's best team which beat LSU and gave Boise State a game last year. With an inexperienced QB and a team still trying to learn the SF way, the Huskers could be 1-3 heading into Purdue week just as easily as 4-0.
I usually would hold off on any speculating until August, but these are exciting times. As it stands today, I think 7 wins would be satisfactory. 9 wins would be great. Double-digits in Year 1? Now that would be epic.
I'm a believer that NU should be competing for conference and natty titles every year, but, you know, Rome wasn't built in a day.

At this time, we have what looks to be a brutal schedule next year. I think those of you who are predicting/hoping for a 9+ win season are probably in for a disappointment. I would be happy with 6 wins, but I honestly don't care what our win total ends up being next year. My only expectation is that our team shows improvement as the season progresses.
9 wins is realistic, but I'm not going to be too hung up on the record next year.
I'm very positive about the staff and the changes that will be made to move things forward.
The last thing I want to do is bitch and moan about some artificial metric that we as fans think we should achieve in the first year.
I'm pretty sure coach Frost knows what the heck he is doing.

I'm sure that is what they said about UCF after a 6-6 season last year. We will take one game at a time and with Coach Frost's game plan, we will win every game.
Did you take a road trip to/through Colorado recently? The BigRedBeliever is the BigRedReceiver of purchased goods from Colorado.
Not even sure why I’m posting, as I’m exposing myself, but here goes...
2015 - 6-7
2016 - 9-4
2017 - ?
What’s so far fetched about predicting 10 wins before the season began?
People need to chill a little bit when it comes to those who thought Riley could be successful.
We were wrong. We know it. Would appreciate not being reminded.
You have no idea how excited I am that you joined this board on Monday... I can’t wait for all of your amazing posts!
For you, I will revert back to initial post. If you say there is Riley rot, then there was also Bo toxicity in 2015.
You good with that?

Don’t waste your valuable time reading my posts then. They will clearly be above anything your brain can handle!
You are on fire... and not as funny as you think you are.
I don’t think I’m funny and I’m not trying to be either. You’re embarrassing yourself and I guarantee most here are laughing at you! I would venture to guess in your 10 years of posting, you have provided a great many laughs.
Lol. Pot meet kettle.
At least if, as you say, you are not trying to be funny, you have accomplished that. Not funny at all. Congrats on that!
Not much else here, however. Never put anyone on ignore, but you sure make a compelling argument for it.
Hind sight is easy. Last year should have been an improvement
Shouldn’t have responded to him... I made that mistake already. He’s like a leech. Good luck shaking him.
OK, I started this thread, but it was never my intention that posters would attack each other because they have different opinions. I thought it would be fun to think about this year’s schedule in light of some very positive early moves. That’s it. So let’s just stop the cheap shots and respect each other’s opinions.
I have to disagree with the notion there is a "Riley rot." I believe most of these players have been starving for the kind of leadership, commitment, and passion that Frost & Co. bring. Most of the players will eat it up. They want to win. They want to excel. There will be no hangover because at 4-8 with multiple blowout losses, they know change was needed. Plus, Riley did not poison the well on the way out. He left like an adult, unlike Pelini.
I think the situation will be more reminiscent of Stoops following Blake at OU. OU's players knew they were underperforming and took to Stoops' coaching immediately. Here's hoping. GBR
