Neb. is a top 30-60 team: now and forever

[Omaha 680]

I mean, that's a nice sentiment and all but that guy is dead man walking. Every day he's still there the program is regressing and it will be that much harder to build back.

Omg we wouldn't want the program to regress. Could you imagine? How we will ever build back to the lofty tradition of Bill Callahan and Mike Reilly?

I meant it when I said it is zero risk to giving him another year. The program is literally at a 60 year low point.

Scott Frost will get a 5th season. But he fired 4 offensive assistants, took a $1 million/year paycut and reduced his buyout from 15 to 7.5 million. Honestly I think it's the best move for 's everyone right now. Frost gets one more year to try and make something work that the admin and fans desperately want to work, but he puts some skin in the game to buy another year.

If we fire him now or fire him next year there is really no difference. I still think there is a chance he can right the ship so might as well give it one more shot before we blow it up again.

The silver lining is that it will not be hard for Nebraska to improve on its dismal 2021 record. I still want to believe in Scott Frost, throwing reason to the wind and hoping things turn around. But it is hard to overlook player lapses in discipline and fundamentals...that is coaching. It is hard to imagine that things could get worse if/when Frost is fired but that is a distinct possibility,

I hope he already had all the money he would ever want, because that was a really stupid financial decision to buy himself one extra year before getting fired.

Nebraska has to be the best 7-loss team in the country. That would be excruciating as a fan.

6 of the 7 losses were by one score. The one that wasn't was the 9 point loss to Ohio State yesterday. Last minute losses to Oklahoma, Michigan, and Michigan State. I have never cheered for a team whose record is farther away from their talent and potential. It is brutal.

Ryan Day punted from the nebraska 35 up 6 points with 6 minutes left in the game. He deserves to lose just for that.

*sigh*

[Omaha 680]

That was about the worst 2 minute offense I have ever seen but I am happy overall with the effort today. Frustrating because 2 missed field goals and an extra point blocked and returned for 2 means we probably could have won or at least taken it to OT without those mistakes.

random note: an OU defensive back had one of the most amazing interceptions I have ever seen. One handed, better than the O'Dell Beckham catch. Problem was it was 4th and 18 and he landed on OUs 3 yard line. That's like doing a 360 dunk on the wrong hoop.

[Omaha 680]

Here they go giving me hope in the Frost project again. Still some dumb mistakes but they look like a different team today particularly on defense.

Freaking Kyle Whittingham!

This isn't Cougarboard. I am pretty sure we are allowed to use the F word when talking about him.

In still another alternate universe, Tom Osborne does not promise Frank Solich Nebraska's HC position when he retires and Solich accepts the offer to become Minnesota's HC. When Osborne does retire, Nebraska hires a different former Husker player, Barry Alvarez, away from Wisconsin. Under Alvarez, Nebraska continues to be a national power.

There’s a part of me that wonders if there is an alternate universe where BYU hired it’s next top choice for HC in 2001, and he went down Crowton’s path while Crowton went down his. And we’d be wondering why on earth we didn’t hire future NFL hall-of-famer, super-bowl-winning Gary Crowton instead of that dunderheaded fool Andy Reid.

[All-American]

Yeah, I don't disagree. Just saying that all that glitters is not gold. Gary Crowton may well have become a head coach in the NFL if he didn't go to BYU, but a larger body of work seemed to indicate that he wasn't that great of a head coach.
