Starting to doubt the whole “no fear of failure” thing.
It's for soy boys. They need to scrap that shit.Starting to doubt the whole “no fear of failure” thing.
And WWII was a little conflict.
But honestly. Nothing he says is going to make anyone feel better about this, so no reason to dissect it and get all up in arms about everything he says.
Believe me, he's as frustrated as we are and there's not much he can do right now this year. It's going to take this past freshman class and maybe another one or two to fix the problems. We're starting several guys on both sides of the ball who are not B1G caliber players because the freshman can't grow up fast enough.Agreed. I just hope he genuinely believes that this is unacceptable. To the point that changes may have to be made at some point. And, I am not necessarily referring to coaching or personnel changes.

From what I have seen from his coaching and his staff so far...He is.He just sounds lost
Through 18 games of coaching, at this point, he is in over his head and it is quite apparent.Is Frost in over his head? I'm not sure I want to listen to him trying to downplay this even if that's all he can do. It was a sickening display and effort and no amount of sugar coated excuses and can cover it up.
What other kind of changes are there?Agreed. I just hope he genuinely believes that this is unacceptable. To the point that changes may have to be made at some point. And, I am not necessarily referring to coaching or personnel changes.
I hate Frosts' post game presser more than I hated Mike Rileys'....I had no expectations from Mike Riley......and I am beginning to have the same attitude about Scott Frost.Is Frost in over his head? I'm not sure I want to listen to him trying to downplay this even if that's all he can do. It was a sickening display and effort and no amount of sugar coated excuses and can cover it up.
And that is what concerns me most. He has no idea what is causing this poor play, just says it needs to be fixed. After challenging his team to give it their all this past week, he really has to wonder if he has lost them.He just sounds lost

Just keep seeing the same mistakes over and over. That’s coaching. If a guy isn’t making plays then sit him down.
Everyone can see he doesn't have the horses yet. Until he gets the right athletes & depth in his system (for several years) his hands will be tied. Coaching changes will not get us out of this multi-decade slump we're in. We have no choice but to be patient and see this thing through.And that is what concerns me most.

In my mind, blaming all on the coaches would mean we have grossly underachieved with plenty of talent...or nearly all coaches have failed to coach up guys with great potential (NFL). After Coach Riley had enough time, it was apparent that he and his recruits weren't gonna cut it. Writing Coach Frost off, in year 2, with mostly Riley recruits and too many subpar athletes (the eyes don't lie), is way premature, IMO. Need 4 more years for the jury . Let's progress to bowl game this year, then set goal of 9 wins, conference championship game, etc. In future years. Lordy...people talking about coaching changes now...??? Mercy.In order to be in over your head you must have equal parts to show your inadequacies... The cubard is bare. The o-line is offensive and the d-line is pourous.
Uh the guy we ran off had to use the previous regime’s recruits.In my mind, blaming all on the coaches would mean we have grossly underachieved with plenty of talent...or nearly all coaches have failed to coach up guys with great potential (NFL).

Exactly, hard to tell how much talent you have when they're poorly coached. I see middle of the road Pac 12 and Big 12 teams that play way harder and faster than us. Our team plays like it practices. I can tell you that much. This staff may need to look into completely overhauling their practice structure if they supposedly have great practices but continually don't show up for games.I don't know how you can say this when the horses that we do have are not playing with good technique or fundamentals. Get them coached up to where they are playing sound football and then we can decide how we actually measure up from a talent perspective.
Minnesota is also in year 2 of playing with the previous coaches recruits.In my mind, blaming all on the coaches would mean we have grossly underachieved with plenty of talent...or nearly all coaches have failed to coach up guys with great potential (NFL).

No .Most of Minnesota's players who are playing are Fleck's recruits. This is year 3 and he played a bunch of young guys last year. He also had a head start on recruiting guys as he took the job right as the regular season ended.Minnesota is also in year 2 of playing with the previous coaches recruits.
Not true. Fleck was hired after Western Michigan lost in the Cotton Bowl. He had very little time to put together his first class.No .Most of Minnesota's players who are playing are Fleck's recruits.

The frightening thing is I'm afraid he just might believe his own bullshit. I've wondered about that for a while. I know he is not going to yell and scream about the lack of effort, the bad coaching, etc.. in a press conference but he is a Nebraska guy and he knows the fans deserve more from the players and the coaching staff, say you're very disappointed in yourself, the coaches and the players and get back to coaching. I think we might see some lineup changes. If things don't turnaround NO RAISES or extensions for anybody but Fisher.Is Frost in over his head? I'm not sure I want to listen to him trying to downplay this even if that's all he can do. It was a sickening display and effort and no amount of sugar coated excuses and can cover it up.
I would have to see that in print. From what I remember Fleck agreed to the job before the bowl game. In any case, this is Fleck's 3rd year, he brought some decent recruits with him, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HE INHERITED A 9 WIN TEAM.Not true. Fleck was hired after Western Michigan lost in the Cotton Bowl. He had very little time to put together his first class.
This reminded me 100% of a Mike Riley team. I could tell after the first MN TD this team packed it in and quit. There was no fire, no drive, they had given up and wanted to be done. They didn't look mentally or physically ready. I really thought we were done with those type of players and this type of mentality. Its Frost job to fix it, if he knows how.Listening to the post game Frost presser. Jesus.
