In today's day and age of internet gullibility, that is enough proof for me that this new hire isThey should not say an Old Miss graduate, then later refer to graduating from Oxford. Makes him sound British and refined.

Has to be an improvement. That's for sure.
I have decided I am going to be giddy about this. Those Auburn rankings sound pretty good, and the fact that SF has finally realized that the kicking game is important.Exactly! We've got no where to go but up.
I am sure that Frost has always known that the kicking game is important. And I am also sure that he was as frustrated as all of us were with the special teams last year. And we also need to remember that injuries to our kickers was a huge factor last year. Also... our lack of depth caused us to play a lot of walk ons in the kicking game and the poor kick coverage suffered as a result.I have decided I am going to be giddy about this.

There were bad coaching decisions also. Like kicking long in the Iowa game and getting it returned for a touchdown after pooch kicking it earlier. And allowing Belt to bring kickoffs out of the end zone.I am sure that Frost has always known that the kicking game is important.

Go back to the 1995 Orange Bowl. After we scored the go ahead touchdown we kicked off to Miami and the tackle was made on the play by an unknown freshman by the name of Grant Wistrom. That is what is lacking. Often, poor kick coverage is not an issue with coaching so much as it is a barometer of how much quality depth your team lacks.
Yeah blame the walkons. The scholarship players sucked in kickoff coverage too. Kickoff coverage reflected our defense: slow, poor angles, and couldn't tackle.I am sure that Frost has always known that the kicking game is important.

I would also add lacked discipline. Not paying attention to the small details while reviewing films.Yeah blame the walkons. The scholarship players sucked in kickoff coverage too. Kickoff coverage reflected our defense: slow, poor angles, and couldn't tackle.

Jeez your distain for our HC is bordering on crazy town. Also, we had a ST coach, it’s his job to talk to his unit about coverage. And as you may have noticed, that guy isn’t around anymoreMaybe after we score touchdowns Coach Frost can take his head out the playbook, hold off on chest-bumping Ryan Held for a few and go talk to the special teams before they run out on the field about the plan for the kickoff.
At least then he would have a better answer when a reporter asks him what the hell happened on that kickoff return for a touchdown! Unlike his embarrassing answer from the Iowa game.....smh.

You must think Nebraska has only two coaches? What a stupid commentMaybe after we score touchdowns Coach Frost can take his head out the playbook, hold off on chest-bumping Ryan Held for a few and go talk to the special teams before they run out on the field about the plan for the kickoff.

Grant Wistrom was certainly not unknown. He was a highly coveted recruit the previous year. But I agree they had good players on kick coverage.I am sure that Frost has always known that the kicking game is important.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.Grant Wistrom was certainly not unknown. He was a highly coveted recruit the previous year. But I agree they had good players on kick coverage.
Yes. Good correction. But, as you note, my main point still stands.Grant Wistrom was certainly not unknown. He was a highly coveted recruit the previous year. But I agree they had good players on kick coverage.
What scholly players? I know of one.Yeah blame the walkons. The scholarship players sucked in kickoff coverage too. Kickoff coverage reflected our defense: slow, poor angles, and couldn't tackle.

Except you are making up idiotic things to bitch about (see your post above). You are pissing and moaning about nonsense and provide nothing of substance and come off like an unhinged lunatic.I understand wanting to defend your college crush or whatever but everyone not Towing the line or Koolaid drinkers .......some of care about WINNING!
I give credit where credit is due and when warranted but I'm holding all coaches of teams I root for at the same standards....I don't care about his past!
People criticized coaches in the past round here (who were winning majority of games) for anything petty and it was acceptable now the standards SO LOW no one cares about winning or what it takes to get there.
Some of you dudes defend a coach more than you defend your wives and boyfriends...
Geezus get a clue
The 2 years he was at Missouri. 43 and 87. Probably still an upgrade of Dewitt. It still is a bit concerning we don't actually have a coach.According to Football Outsiders, Auburn has ranked 13th and 14th nationally the past two years in their Special Teams rankings: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ncaa/fei/overallst/2019.
Nebraska ranked 112th and 85th, so this should be an upgrade.
Likely there will be a point man, working with the analyst and on the field. Much like Dewitt needed, he could have used an analyst.The 2 years he was at Missouri. 43 and 87. Probably still an upgrade of Dewitt. It still is a bit concerning we don't actually have a coach.
cam taylor-britt blew in kickoff coverage.What scholly players? I know of one.
Unbelievable there are still Riley apologists out there.In 2019 Nebraska had what was regarded as somewhere between the 110 and 120 ranked special teams unit in the country.
In 2014 the Nebraska football head coach "took over" special teams or some might say delegated it to a person who was NOT an assistant coach.
Either way he made special teams a focus and by all accounts had the overall #1 to #5 ranked Special Teams unit in the COUNTRY depending on whose rating you use.
While the ST doesn't have to be #1 I'm sure being top 30 probably At least gets you 2 more wins! By the way even Mike Riley had a year (2016) when his ST was ranked #14....
I was thinking Newsome.cam taylor-britt blew in kickoff coverage.
