Scott Frost, you need a new defensive coordinator

Special teams were glaring? Maybe we should have blocked 4 punts instead of just 2.
I realize my mistake, got NE and PU special teams mixed up in the moment
So amend comment along the lines of "(despite) glaringly productive ST performance..."Overall I still don't see your D as the reason for loss. Any D constantly put in bad position, will give up points -- pointing to a particular drive (for example the final one) is only coulda shoulda. Again, I've seen this at Iowa as well where the D keeps us alive through most of the game but gives up a crucial TD that stands out only because it happens late.
That and like Bo, believes HIS system is good enough or better than everyone else (Bo on D, Frost on O)
Purdue did whatever they wanted in the 2nd and 4th qtrs on offense. Both sides of the ball sucked.I realize my mistake, got NE and PU special teams mixed up in the moment

I noticed a few opportunities where guys looked like they couldve ripped ball out but didn’t really go for it- one was alex davis punching it when he probably couldve just grabbed it.
I think it’s worth noting we had approx 7 former four star recruits playing on defense today and several more 5.7 type guys- all with two years in the system. We also know that is likely more than what Purdue had on their D.
We’re not likely to ever recruit a whole lot better than that any time soon, so
while sometimes there’s recruiting busts. The overall failure of the defense seems to point to the coaching as much or more than players.

We brought Frost here for his offensive system and ability to run it. That's what every team was looking for when considering hiring Frost. I do agree with you he can't just ignore the D like he has been. Either he needs to get a lot better at managing both sides or he needs to hire a DC with a lot more experience than Chinander. Frost is a good playcaller when he has the players and he should continue to call plays. He does need to get a lot better at identifying weaknesses in his players and be able to manage it. Getting cute all the time hasn't been working. Just run a simple downfield pass with a crosser over the middle if the qb needs to check down. Not every play needs to be a cute screen play to the sideline.
It really gets old blaming either the offense or the defense for losses every week. They both suck and both sides are responsible for the loss. Does it really matter which one sucks worse on any given week?
I’m going to say it’s a real dumpster fire, I think coach frost looked at the roster and most passed the eye test, but that’s it nothing in side. Number two most of his assistants are not big 10 caliber coaches. My goddess you let a walk on third string quarterback drive the ball 84 yards for a winning touchdown, is unexceptionable. Chin doesn’t need to be fired he should do the right thing and resign at season’s end. I thought cosgrove was bad, chin makes him look like buddy ryan and the 85 Chicago bears
So being that you are a Frost expert, are you thinking he will fire Chinander after the Iowa game or after the recruits sign? Who do you think he will go after?
I dont put as much of it on the defense as I do the offense. Sorry but when you can put 28 points on the board before they score but the offense blows 3 of the TDs out of their ass what do you expect the defense to do? Nebraska could have put that game away in the 1st half. Until Frost learns his golden boy needs to ride the bench then dont expect too much out of this offense.
Frost didn’t forget how to coach an offense overnight. He just needs more pieces. Problem is that he doesn’t coach the defense and he needs an average one at least to outscore opponents. That’s the difference in 4-5 vs 7-2
Additionally, if you had Stanley Morgan Jr. and Ozigbo, you’re 7-2. If you had them or similar players and a defense, maybe you’re 8-1
They should have been replaced, but nothing even close

Speaking of DC's, wow. Nick Holt is a crazy man. Looks like he's about to blow a gasket. Hope he learns to cool down or he just won't last.
He's a horrible D Coordinator. I'm surprised Purdue keeps him on. Washington finally got smart, and when they did, their D got a lot better.
Who did Tom fire over the years? Im actually asking because I dont know, not to be a smartass.
And where does a change happen first, offense or defense? I think both need to be looked at.
