The Breaking Point

[9and4]

When did any of you hit a breaking point with a head football coach at Nebraska?

Tom Osborne
I have to admit that at the end of the 1990 season, after a 15-point loss to CU, a 35-point loss to OU and a 24-point loss to GT, I secretly hoped that Osborne would step down, though I knew he had earned the right to call his own shot after 18 years as coach. I was wrong. I was very, very wrong.

Frank Solich
I read about the rumors that Pederson might fire Solich, but I didn't think it was serious until the LJS broke the news before the CU game. In other words, I never reached that breaking point with Frank.

Bill Callahan
76-39.

Bo Pelini
"'**** you, fans. **** all of you.' **** 'em." "Our crowd. What a bunch of ****ing fair-weather ****ing—they can all kiss my ass out the ****ing door. 'Cause the day is ****ing coming now. We'll see what they can do when I'm ****ing gone. I'm so ****ing pissed off." Was Bo, in his inimitable toxic way, right? The story broke in 2013, so I spent more than a year waiting for the inevitable.

Mike Riley
That 33-point loss at Minnesota, which followed an OT loss to Northwestern at home. We were 4-6 with games left @PSU and at home vs. Iowa. It was clear the team had surrendered.

Scott Frost
I'm almost there. Lose the next two, and let's move on. The tough call would be a 5-7 finish with victories over two ranked teams. But is that really progress? Might be good enough.

Osborne: Never, however i was at least considering it in 1990/91.
Solich: 2002
Callahan: 2004
Pelini: 2011
Frost: midway 2018

Frost: midway 2018

A long time ago, but my recollection is wanting to get rid of McBride more than TO.

 

[FargoNDHusker]

Osborne: Too young.
Solich: Never really, too young and optimistic that Nebraska would eventually just start winning no matter who coached.
Callahan: 70-10 to Texas Tech
Pelini: 2013 Iowa
Riley: Immediately
Frost: 2021 Illinois

1. Osborne — never really. 90/91 was rough, especially as I was working for the man then
2. Solich — was pissed off a lot, but mostly onboard.
3. Callahan — day 1, never onboard. Outside if recruiting, not a fan. Was my first WTF moment.
4. Pelini — i waxed hot/cold. Couldn’t tolerate the blowouts. My naive me thought the powers-that-me had a clue with replacements.
5. Riley day 1, never onboard. My 2nd WTF moment? Couldn’t believe this hire, still can’t.
6. Last year, has my doubts after season 1. Doesn’t learn from his mistakes. Gets out coached on game day. Pig headed and stubborn. Poor man management. Teams not prepared to play. No attention to detail. He is exactly the same as the day he arrived.

I distinctly remember Mike Croel leading the way for the guys who "quit" on Osborne during the 90/91 season. That was the year, once the season ended, the Unity Council was formed. That Council remained until Callahan ended it in 2004.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

TO - too young
Solich - Never reached that point. I was actually extremely shocked when he was fired after going 9-3. It was a huge mistake by an egotistical AD that still haunts us to this day.
Callahan - When he (supposedly) referred to TO in derogatory terms.
Pelini - When he made it clear in his final year that we wanted to be let go.
Riley - Day 1. He was an unbelievably dumb hire. The AD should have been fired the moment he even reached out to Riley.
Frost - I'm pretty much there. It's year 4 and just don't see the improvement you'd expect.

Solich: Never really, too young and optimistic that Nebraska would eventually just start winning no matter who coached.
Callahan: 70-10 to Texas Tech
Pelini: 2013 Iowa

During the season when Solich was playing Bobby Newcombe and leaving Eric Crouch on the bench. I decided during a game when NU lead @ 47-0 in the 3rd quarter and Solich left Newcombe in.

I always considered him a coward because he appeared afraid to insert Crouch into the lineup and would over shadow Newcombe.

Turns out, there was never a comparison between Newcombe and Crouch.
I always could see that when the game got tight, Solich had those "deer in the headlights" eyeballs. Just plain fear.

"Fearless" Frankie Solich, that same Fullback I watched during 1965. Turns out he wasn't very fearless.

 

[Husker_AMG63]

.
6. Last year, has my doubts after season 1. Doesn’t learn from his mistakes. Gets out coached on game day. Pig headed and stubborn. Poor man management. Teams not prepared to play. No attention to detail. He is exactly the same as the day he arrived.

He is exactly the same and so is Martinez! So tell me how could 2 people (coach and player) NOT improve in 4 years???! It's because they are tied at the hip, chained together and pulled each other down!

 

[headcard]

1. TO- Never. Although the 91 Citrus Bowl when we were blasted by Georgia Tech was a real low point.

2. Solich- 2002 Independence Bowl. That was the culmination of a season that broke all our streaks.

3. Callahan- 2005 OSU. Reunion of the 95 team and we absolutely quit and got rolled at home. Stadium half empty by halftime.

4. Pelini- 2013 Iowa. When Pelini swung his hat at a ref and dared the AD to fire him after the game. It was obvious after that, that the marriage was over.

5. Riley- Northern Illinois. It was obvious after this game the fan base had turned and change had to happen.

6. Frost. This year's Illinois game was the first time I thought it might be time to make the change. I have waffled back and forth since.

 

[JOHNNY N]

1. Never close to hitting it.
2. Didn't really get close
3. Losing to Texas....just felt like he didn't understand calling a college game vs calling a pro game
4. Almost hitting the ref with his hat
5. From basically day one, when I had to Google wtf he was
6. I'm at a point where if he gets fired, cool. If his retained, well ok...hope it works.

 

[GaRed]

Osborne , never.
Frank, never.
Callahan , I think it was after getting beat by Okie State real bad.
Bo , I was done before that recorded tirade but that sealed it.
Reilly , When I traveled to watch us get beat by lowly Illinois. Their fans apologized for winning. I think it was his first year. I could tell he wasn't a winner.
Frost , last year . I needed to see some resemblance of a organized, well coached team. Well....

 

[NikkiSixx]

for me, I'm actually developing a hatred of both of these clowns for what they have done to the program.. once gone, I don't ever want them back. Hate is a strong word, but it's more and more applicable as the losses pile up.

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

In Frost’s case I’d have to say 2019 Colorado. Up 17-0 at the half, three possession lead completely p***** away.

You should read and respond (positively or negatively) to the post I made in Neb thoughts yesterday at 1:48. I made the mistake of posting early in the afternoon when there was hardly any traffic on this site.

There's plenty of raw meat there, but I've noticed in the 6 weeks I've been on this board, your thoughts and comments are usually aligned with mine.

I'm flabbergasted that you have not hit breaking point with Frost but you did much earlier with others? Strange.

 

[redfanusa]

I never jumped off the bandwagon, but the 1988-1991 stretch was rough. Not only was Oklahoma a constant thorn in our side, but there were a string of bowl game losses to speedy Florida-based teams that made Nebraska look like a slow, plodding old ploughhorse. Suddenly Colorado emerged as yet another hot program that made Nebraska look old fashioned and slow.

As the story goes, Osborne called up his buddy Bobby Bowden, went to school on Florida State, and made speed a much higher priority. The defense switched to the 4-3, moved safeties to linebacker, linebackers became "rush" ends, and all of a sudden Nebraska could run with these southern teams. It helped to have ace recruiters Kevin Steele and Tony Samuel out selling Nebraska to all of these great linebackers and safeties.

You really hit the nail on the head in that thread.. especially the point about Covid being a savior this year with the super senior thing, or we might not even have 3 wins. Yeah, Frost isn't a kid anymore, he's being paid premium money and we are getting bottom feeder style results. There were some stats the other day showing how bad Scott Frost ranks in the coaching ranks and in the conference, and to think he's one of the higher paid coaches out there.. what are we? Stupid University? it's beyond disgusting.

 

[bleedhuskerred]

I have given Frost so many excuses:
Year 1 - Had we played that first game instead of weather cancelling it, everything would have been different.
Year 2 - QB play was not stellar - He will get better...
Year 3 - Covid Year - No season to league play, fought hard to play.
Year 4 - Young offensive line and one of the toughest schedules in the nation.

Up until this last game I really believed Frost was going to turn this thing around. Today, I wouldn't mind seeing a change. I was wrong about TO in 90-91 and I hope I am wrong about Frost.

 

[SuperBigFan]

Any of you that were done with Bo but are not sure about Frost...are insane.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

I am at the breaking point with Frost. And not just because this year has been more of the same. Some programs have been patient with coaches who get off to slow starts and it has worked out. However, most coaches who start with four straight losing seasons usually don’t end up working out. The fact is, in modern college football you have about a two to three year window of a grace period before the gild comes off the Lilly. Frost came in with tons of hype only to disappoint, but he was allegedly recruiting well and the narrative remained a positive one in the media. After all... didn't he inherit a dumpster fire? But now all of the good will is gone and the narrative has flipped from, "Frost is a good coach who inherited a mess," to "Frost is a failed coach who is on a very, very hot seat." That narrative began to set in last year but Frost was given another pass from the media since it was a Covid year. This is why the Illinois loss was so, so devastating. That was expected to be the game where "Frost's best team" had its coming out party and a breakthrough season would begin. Finally we would see what a Frost team could do. But the Illinois loss destroyed that narrative and all of the subsequent losses only added to the narrative of a failed coach. We actually got some credit for almost beating OU, MSU, and Michigan. But the Minnesota loss, where we played as if we did not give a shit, has put the nail in the coffin. Once the narrative reaches this stage then it simply becomes impossible to recruit blue chip athletes to a place like Nebraska. And the negative recruiting becomes off the charts. Therefore, even if Frost is a good coach ( a big if) he needs to be let go because his window of opportunity has passed. The narrative of failure is now the dominant one. And sometimes you just have to make a change in order to change the narrative about NU football. But it also means that if we do fire Frost we better damn well hire a coach who has some gravitas and who can generate some positive press. No Mike Riley hires are allowed.

I know this may not be a popular opinion, and my opinions in such things count for nothing because I do not know crap about anything. But I would go after Bill O'Brien. Living out here in PA I got a front row seat to his time at PSU. What he accomplished during those years of post-Sandusky sanctions and multiple transfers was nothing short of a miracle. He managed somehow to put a competitive team on the field. A team that damn near beat us. He also has recruiting knowledge of the B1G footprint and has ties to the NFL. He did not do well in the NFL but many coaches who are damn good college coaches don't. Saban and Spurrier come to mind. And now Urban.

It helped to have ace recruiters Kevin Steele and Tony Samuel out selling Nebraska to all of these great linebackers and safeties.

Osborne actually lost 6 straight bowl games to southern teams ('88-'93), with most by 2 score+ margins. At the time, it was pretty clear that we were no longer capable of competing for national championships and were no longer a perennial top 10 team. That was a pretty hard and disappointing reality, but hard to call it a breaking point, particularly, given what we have seen the last 15-20 years. NU was fortunate that OU also dropped off during that window following Switzer's departure, otherwise, our record would likely have been worse and there would have been less patience for Osborne to make the adjustments he did that catapulted NU back to elite.

 

[leodisflowers]

TO - Never / Too Young

FS - Immediately. Thought he never should have been hired, but the Dan Alexander/Buckhalter Fumble game against Texas started to make me think he definitely wasn't the guy

BC - Immediately - That coaching search was a cluster, but 70-10 was the tipping point

MR - Absolutely hated this hire. There is no game and I never supported him. Still to this day laugh at that hire.

BP - Honestly Wisconsin Big 10 Title Game. That was embarrassing.

SF - I started having doubts as Frost continued with Adrian last year and didn't get a good QB, but Minnesota was my backbreaker. They are not good and that was just awful. Continuing to trot Adrian out there just pisses me off especially because the excuse making for him. I'd probably have a little more rope for Scott if you felt like he would have unhitched his wagon from Adrian, but seems like he is going to go down in flames with him as he should. He might get a little more good graces back for the rest of the season if we started Smothers or someone else and ran the offense and won 3 out of 4.

 

[9and4]

3. Callahan- 2005 OSU. Reunion of the 95 team and we absolutely quit and got rolled at home. Stadium half empty by halftime.

That was 2007. His last season.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

Any of you that were done with Bo but are not sure about Frost...are insane.

To be fair, it was Bo who was done with us first. If we were only talking about his win/loss record, he'd still be here. It was he who signaled that he was done. That's what did it for me. I don't want someone around who doesn't want to be here.

I would say, however, that O'Brien did some good things with the Texans, including winning four division titles.

They only WANT to be here when things are awesome 100% of time. Remember, TO looked to leave.

 

[GammaxuvirHusker]

One note about Frost...

I've been disappointed since the very beginning that we haven't seen an offense that remotely resembled the one he QB'd under TO in '96 and '97. We've seen a few option plays this year, but it still looks to me like we're running an offense that much more closely resembles Oregon's.

I'd honestly be a lot more lenient if we were running a more option-oriented O.

 

[headcard]

That was 2007. His last season.

Good catch. Time flys when your not having fun.

 

[Dr_Alan_Grant]

Osborne: Too young.
Solich: Never really, too young and optimistic that Nebraska would eventually just start winning no matter who coached.
Callahan: 70-10 to Texas Tech
Pelini: 2013 Iowa
Riley: Immediately
Frost: 2021 Illinois

damn remembering that 70-10 was during Callahan is making me feel old.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Yes he did. He is also by all accounts a really decent human being.

 

[Sinomatic]

*** you, fans. **** all of you.' **** 'em." "Our crowd. What a bunch of ****ing fair-weather ****ing—they can all kiss my ass out the ****ing door. 'Cause the day is ****ing coming now. We'll see what they can do when I'm ****ing gone. I'm so ****ing pissed off."

To keep this guy.....would have been insane. And Pelini has yet to show US what he can do after he has been "****ing gone"

Melvin Gordon just scored again. 😳

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

TO: Lot of murmurs and disgruntled old dudes that wanted Monte Kiffin to be hired as our Coach as opposed to TO. Supposedly was going to be fired if we didn't win the Bluebonnet bowl in '76 against Texas Tech. The '78 win over OU settled some doubters (even with the BS Orange Bowl re-match). The 1981-1987 seasons cemented his legacy. Some bad losses in the late 80's early 90s. Frazier truly changed the program. The '93 Orange Bowl ('92 season) where we didn't back down was the turning point for the brilliant end to TO's amazing legacy.

Solich: Very good man, and deserves respect from all Husker fans. However, long time assistants rarely succeed behind a legend like TO. Really thought we should have struck iron when it was hot and got a 'somebody'. But, you also have to respect TO's wishes, and the program remained more than competitive. The 2002 season sealed his fate with his own recruits and the hiring of an anxious AD wanting to put his fingerprints on Husker glory.

Callahan: Probably one of the few that wanted to give him another year or two without Cosgrove. The quit in the 2007 season is still the worst I've ever seen from a Husker team. He could coach though, and continues to do so at a high level in the NFL. Never really endeared himself to Husker fans and our traditions. The dislike for AD Pederson after his firing of Solich and the hiring of a 'no ties to Nebraska' guy was simply too much.

Pelini: TO's 2nd picked successor, and was installed as DC in 2003 per his input as well. I'll be honest, I disliked this guy since the K-State blowout in 2003 when he was a 1st year DC with Solich. Ran across the field to get in the face of the KSU coaching staff for supposedly running up the score. Never understood the "I'd run through a brick wall for him" mentality. Way too emotional and not smart enough or charismatic enough to run a P5 program nowadays.

Riley: The exact opposite hire of Pelini by the worst AD in Nebraska history. The story of him riding his bike to Memorial every day was choice. Had to be at least 100 coaches that should have been hired before CFL's Beaver Cleaver.

Frost: Still behind Frost. After 4 unsuccessful hires and a national image of expectations beyond our post-TO reality, seem to ring true. Sorry, but you don't go 13-0 and beat a top end SEC team in a bowl game with a G5 team and not be a damn good coach. Let's make some needed coaching changes and see what 2 former Husker All-Americans in Trev and Frost can do. Not ready to throw in the towel and throw away the next 3 to 4 years again with a guy that could be a lifer here.

 

[redwine65]

1. no
2. no (maybe a lil vs ut and penn state)
3. yes
4. yes
5. yes
6. maybe after next year

 

[Sinomatic]

1. Never
2. Never
3. After the OSU shellacking
4. After the tirade
5. Had to Google this guy....seriously not joking....didn't know wth MR was...
6. Frost better start scoring some touchdowns.... start handing our receivers some Glock 9's or somethin....

 

[pgainey]

We fired a coach - rightfully so - who had a .500 record and 2 bowl games in three years

and now there are multiple page threads about whether we should fire a coach who has yet to play in a bowl and would have to win the next 10 games in a row just to get to .500 - unbelievable the pass frost is getting

Oklahoma didn’t hesitate to get rid of Blake or Gibbs when they didn’t win-program was more important than former player - not sure that is the case at Nebraska

To keep this guy.....would have been insane. And Pelini has yet to show US what he can do after he has been "****ing gone"

Melvin Gordon just scored again. 😳

Nope...all he did was show us what he could do at NU. 9 or 10 wins each year and 1/2 in the division every year but one.

We fired a coach - rightfully so - who had a .500 record and 2 bowl games in three years

and now there are multiple page threads about whether we should fire a coach who has yet to play in a bowl and would have to win the next 10 games in a row just to get to .500 - unbelievable the pass frost is getting

Oklahoma didn’t hesitate to get rid of Blake or Gibbs when they didn’t win-program was more important than former player - not sure that is the case at Nebraska

oklahoma doesn't have the recruiting hardship we have, because of location...
so it's was easier for them to change coaches. 3/4th plus of their team are texans

we play in the big ten west and can’t even compete in this division. - no one has a recruiting advantage over Nebraska in the division. Nebraska has had the highest rated recruiting class in the big ten west for years and years - last year we finished second behind Wisconsin the only time in over a decade Nebraska has finished below a team currently in the big west.

Um no that's not all he did. If you're going to trash the fans, let alone the fans at Nebraska who have a lemming like faith, you better not be getting embarrassed on the field like Bo's teams and better be winning titles.

You know what Dan Hawkins said about the Buffalo fans after their being twice an ass on game day throwing trash on the field, booing, spitting etc etc...? He said something to the effect of "We have vivacious fans" That's how you talk about your team's fans.

Bo should stick to coordinating and avoid the mic.
