When MUST Frost Win 10 Games?
- Thread starter SWIowahawks
- Start date
Exactly. Win or lose we just don't want to see a fluffy Husker team that gets slapped around on both lines frequently. No more Beaver ball to be sure.
Btw, Bo was Vince Lombardi relative to MR (the human losing machine).
Excellent post sir. I almost threw-up reading posters saying we only played one good team a year when we were in the Big8. Good God, we have some high level rocket scientists here.....that's for sure.
Michigan has shown to remain among the top in recruiting. Nebraska has not. I’m not sure a third year head coach is gonna do much better. Atleast not right away. Nebraska hasn’t exactly remained in the spotlight and in kids minds. We will see if Frost changes that. My bet is that he will succeed at Nebraska to a point where 90% of the country would take at their school.
I’ll be more interested to see if you stop posting your Iowa garbage over here.
I think the next few years will depend on what talent Frost can keep around. Surely some of these guys that quit won’t like Frost and actual hard work. This recruiting class is obviously pretty key too. Good thing Frost is gonna have a long leash.
Riley recruited well and all signs point to Frost recruiting well. Coach up the talent and get the OL and DL figured out and they’ll be fine. Thanks for your concern. It must bother you that no matter how bad Nebraska has been lately, Iowa has faired no better with continuity at HC. BTW, I realize you could never admit that Nebraska and Michigan have been at a minimum equals the past twenty years because that would hurt your “this isn’t the big8/12” argument, but the numbers do not lie. I’ve never understood Iowa fan who denies stats and facts. Are you a “earth is flat” guy?
Yes- AgreedExcellent post sir. I almost threw-up reading posters saying we only played one good team a year when we were in the Big8. Good God, we have some high level rocket scientists here.....that's for sure.
Other than Oklahoma, there were plenty of good teams through the years from:
Colorado
Oklahoma State
Missouri
Even K-State and Iowa State had a few good teams as did Kansas- Nolan Cromwell etc
And back in those days NU would often times schedule in non conference:
Alabama
Auburn
Penn State
UCLA
Washington
Florida State
Arizona State- when they were good
Notre Dame
Lots of times in the same year.
NU would play anyone and back then very few ADs would even return their phone calls. Lots of requests back then to Michigan, Texas and Ohio State that went unanswered.
It is also eye opening to look at the strength of schedule over the last 20 years. Big 8/12 at the end of T.O. and during Solich era were, for the most part top 20 schedules. Callahan years were mainly 30s-50s as the north began waning, with a 4 in there as well. Pelini's years were 40/50 starting out then went back to 20s the first few years in the B1G when we actually had the most success.
Following that, our strength of schedule has been atrocious. The worse as far back as I can tell in NU history. 50/60s for the most part except this year where we are a 7 (and the hardest schedule since Callahan's last year, but not harder). The B1G West has done more to bring us down as a program than anything else because of how truly weak this division of the B1G is. I mean it is pathetic. It shows you just how much our program has really fallen.

I think the original guess of 2020 moving up to this year might be accurate. Although a Bowl win may do the job.
Might as well fire him now. This shit looks like the same junior ass shit as last year. Don’t run the ball when it’s obvious. Leave it up to the shittiest player on the field like always. There is no intent on winning here. He’s gotta go. I feel really bad for the defense. They played their asses off to watch their offense give away the game. Again. **** this

Re-reading this thread I was so excited for Frost to come in here and start cleaning up this team. Disappointed.
I think it was natural to be excited. He took a winless UCF team, and in two years had them undefeated. He was a hot name before UCF, but he needed to prove it on a smaller scale. In 3 years it seemed he was the next guy like an Urban Meyer who started out at a smaller gig before ascending to a large program.
UCF had many built in advantages that most outside their bubble didn't think about. One being a much easier conference. Two being in a talent rich area with a huge alumni base, and exponential growth potential(They have the Orlando market, and the 4th highest enrollment). Number three is they had a recent Fiesta Bowl season in 2012 under O'Leary in just their 16th year in division 1 football.
I actually was excited about the potential of Florida hiring him. We had just come off two of the worst hires in Muschamp, and McElwain. Frost looked to be the target for Stricklin, but Frost was never gonna turn down his dream job. I was upset we got our third choice, but was still looking forward to seeing what Frost could do at a huge program that still carries major cache. Plus it was amusing to see the UCF fans have a blowout.
Four years later, and our hiring of Mullen looks far better then the first two choices (Kelly, and Frost). It's easy to look back and laugh at the mindset, but the excitement was warranted. Don't ever lose that enthusiasm.
1/10
Edit: On the other hand I agree, need to win a bit more to enjoy average.
