I'll reserve judgment until we've seen him consistently come down with catches in traffic over the course of a season. A JD in hand is better than 2 Omar's in the bush.

No clue yet - he's got all the measurements but has yet to be healthy until now. I think key will be can he stay healthy and can he play through minor injuries.

Do you think Husker football has a culture issue that needs to be fixed before success happens?

Columbo would approach the offense and say "One more thing" Clearly the culture problems are on the offense. Defense is improving, how about the offense? Who is transferring after being important players now or the near future? How many offensive players came back for the bonus year? Defense? Hmmm

12-20. We are squarely in "until it shows up on the field, it isn't fixed" territory. I am not holding my breath. The problems this team has on the field are largely because the HC doesn't know how to HC.

If you're not concerned, you need to slow down on the kool-aid.

I think Coach Frost has done a good job off pealing off all the duct tape and cleaning up the off-field and locker room cancer. The wins come once the culture and buy-in is accepted and expected by everyone.

Kids are different today. some with superiority complexes before they have achievement. Thus, a much harder group to coach. Unless Scott goes back to Nebraska Brawn (Linemen), power running (with current offensive scheme), we'll have trouble, and skill players will go elsewhere.

Football success is complicated (- making Devaney/Osborne/Solich era an exceptional achievement!). Culture affects everything - it is both tangible (behaviors) and intangible (norms). Norms strongly influence behavior, ergo, a healthy obsession with excellence MUST be the norm- I don't see this???

Winning solves a lot of things. Most likely every team has issues. Students aren't as intense as they were years ago. Too many distractions to expect 100% buy-in. Senior leadership must get better. What of the culture of the coaches? HCSF, please stop referring to them as 'kids' all the time.

Winning breeds winning... this seems like a very 2021 question...

No one likes to lose. A winning culture comes from actually winning. It is a lot easier to get up for those early lifting sessions when you see the results on the field. It is a lot easier to get ready for that tough game against a tough opponent when you think you can beat them.

Instant gratification and lack there of is the major problem. A lot of dead weight has been cut from the team by personal choice or the coaches choice. The vote to not play in the bowl game said a lot about the past culture. Most of those "leaders" are gone. Lets see how this year plays out.

Don Lutrell

These issues are so overblown, the transfers hurt but can be understood, foregoing the bowl game made sense, what does a bowl game do for the team when it's a fly in, fly out situation. The proposed cancellation of the Okla. was a mistake but far overblown.

Who do you think will have the higher win percentage over the next 2 seasons - Frost or Hoiberg?

Frost is way ahead of Hoiberg. And recruiting rank is better. However, basketball can turn around quick with just 1 or 2 of the right guys and we have Bryce McGowens coming.

Frost and Company have built a roster with a boatload of top 250 players, as well as many other great players that are on the verge of breaking out. His team though, is young. He literally needs more time...for this roster to mature. But for the first time in years...the talent is there.

The football tradition at Nebraska is something special in all of sports and throughout America. That is a huge advantage. But I hope for both coaches to succeed.

No knock on Hoiberg. B1G is far and away the best conference in Basketball. He could be .500 with a nearly top 25 team next year and all Frost would have to do is beat 1 team he's not supposed to and win the winnable games. Bball could turn quicker but still have a harder road to good win %

Frost will never win at Nebraska. Hoiberg had a rag tag bunch competing down the stretch vs BIG. Imagine what he’d do with a top 20 class. Frost has zero buy in from his players

Hoops is easier to turnaround and he's got a 5 star coming in. His team played tough all year in a good conference too. They just need to figure out how to win. Two halves together. Both teams beat themselves a lot, which is a problem. Plus next year's football schedule is brutal. How bout Bolt?

I still have faith in Fred and his system in this conference. I don't have the same feeling about Frost any longer. I am fully in "show me" mode with the football team, I don't believe any offseason talk anymore.

David Jorgensen

I think next year with the 4 & 5 * ranked brothers, we will see and very nice improvement. I think it is going to be close just because of the amount of games played by the basketball team. An extended slump could hurt the BB team % wise.
