Story I heard, and read. OSU had a quarter schedule, opposed to a semester schedule, Scott is still trying to understand words, beyond pu$$y.
Tristan Gebbia
- Thread starter BHoppy
- Start date
Scott never had a plan for anything. He had “wants” but zero plan and even less motivation to execute towards his desired outcome.
First was literally THE worst Coach we have had in close to 100 years. Potsy Clark might have been worse. Maybe.
Frost announced the starter prior to the last week of the season and Gebbia BAILED. if frost was adept as a HC he would have had both play in the first game (which ended up ending early due to storm). Get Gebbia a series in the 2nd quarter and see what happens. It keeps him here.
Yup, if you have 2 good guys (fairly close battle) and you don’t have any depth behind those guys you have to play your cards better. You announce them as Co #1s for the 1st game, you give the start to whoever you think has a slight edge in your mind, and give (in this case) Gebbia the 2nd quarter. And you wait to make this decision. Long enough to make it “difficult” for someone to jump ship.
You always need 2 QBs and good coaches don’t get left holding the bag with 1 or zero legit D1 options.
The first day of classes for Nebraska was Aug 20 and Frost thought he was safe to announce his QB. However the last day to withdraw from class was the 27th. So he withdrew, but he needed to transfer to a school that had not yet started classes. Most Pac-12 schools are on the quarters system and typically don't start classes until the middle or end of September. Frost believed in his mind that since classes started Gebbia was locked in at Nebraska. The problem was compounded when Nebraska dicked around trying to get UCF to release Vedral from his scholarship. So they didn't even appeal the NCAA for him to become immediately eligible. When they finally did the appeal, Vedral was given the waiver in October. Had they done the necessary steps in the spring/ summer he could have been eligible earlier and the impact of Gebbia would have been mitigated.
All 4 of those guys (vedral, AM, frost, Gebbia) are losers
Nothing would’ve been different
Losers lose. The end.
Perhaps. However, my comments here are simply to provide the facts. No speculation about how things could have or would have turned out.
Too many people want to bad mouth Gebbia, when all he did was follow the transfer rules in place at the time.
