Wrapping the flag around sports is always disrespectful to the military. Trivializes their experiences and sacrifices.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.
Reply
Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.
Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.
Reply
Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.
Reply
Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !
Reply
Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.
Reply
I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.

That blogger is mad that Barry Alvarez wasn't a SEAL. Emulation of Navy SEALS is to honor the SEALS not cast aspersions at them.
ReplyThey are respecting the SEALS by trying to emulate them!
ReplyScott did this with the utmost respect for the Seals. The Seals live a standard to which he wants the Huskers to aspire. That's about as good as it gets. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
ReplyIt shows respect for our heroes and want to strive to their example.
ReplyGet the players motivated
ReplyUmm... Great form of flatery. I also think the group that conducted the training has a few special opps guys running the show! My best friend is a die hard Bucky fan, but the Homer.. Wow!
ReplyIt will make the Huskers tougher, more disciplined, more capable of winning and better conditioned than their opponents. It will add to the win column and they will be able to block & tackle(!)
ReplyThat's ridiculous! Seems like Supreme respect.
ReplyHe's a badger fan. Of course he's going to find any way possible to manipulate this into a bad thing. If Damien is more than cool with it then so should everyone else be. Wiscy fans must be scared.

ReplySNOWFLAKES will be offended by anything. This is a motivational video HONORING the SEALS. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that one can pay to GREATNESS!
ReplyUmmmmm........we have a SEAL on the team. Does Wisconsin have a SEAL on the team? Didn't think so...
ReplyWhat is a what is a wisc guy watching this?? They in wisc don't do will with knowledge
ReplyI've worked with Navy SEALS. Not one of them would have taken that video as a slap in the face. The blogger is full of BS.
ReplyIt shows that men need to do the job 100% of the time and that cutting corners will lead them to inadequate results as a man in life and on the football field. Doesn’t say they are Navy Seals! C’mon!
ReplyGBR!!!
ReplyTeaching young men how to be successful in all they do.is never disrespectful..
ReplyIf someone is offended by the mere fact that a former SEAL thought his brother's can be represented this way, then I suggest that offended person take that sand on the beach, and pack it.
Replyi think it shows a respect and admiration to the SEAL community. The SEAL community is the greatest warriors of our military. Huskers training similarly, aiming to be the best in college FB. GBR
ReplyNo doubt this guy is a wimp.
ReplyFormer Marine. I see no disrespect. And Navy Seals do not exclusively own this type of training or frame of mind.
ReplyShows massive respect to what navy seals do to prepare. No where did I hear they are better than seals. It shows hard work.. perseverance can get you to that elite level on the field and in life.
ReplyI am a retired veteran. Scott is trying to instill leadership into his team and players, to play as one. This has been lacking in the Husker football program for the past few years.
ReplyThis is just a Wisconsin pansy crying because his team didn’t think of doing This. That a former Navy Seal didn’t think it a slap in the face by suggesting it, then it isn’t.
ReplyAs a former Marine who has done a fair share of boat exercises, I didn't take it as disrespectful. They got a few hours of work in. We did that for years. It's good training and builds teamwork.
ReplyIt may have offended Wisconsin fans and or anyone not wanting to see us grow as a team. The goals Frost and Co. are trying to achieve are so much bigger than football.
ReplyI'm a Vietnam era vet. Damn proud to see something like this in today's society. No disrespect......
ReplyCalling it disrespectful is a joke. As a veteran of the Marine Corp I took it as a positive sign and respect to the Seals. Why do we listen to bloggers any way? Any hack with a computer is a blogger
ReplyThis was filmed while working with organization called The Program. Maybe you need to look up who makes up that organization. There is a UCF video showing the same training. Ex-Navy vet here.
ReplyThat "well-known blogger, and rabid Wisconsin fan" failed to consider AND acknowledge.. a former Navy SEAL who is currently on NU's roster came up with the idea! I trust Frost & D Jackson's judgement
ReplyNavy Seals are the only ones goal oriented, focused, implement a work ethic and commit to excellence?
ReplyIf I remember correctly, the guy who runs this training is a former SEAL himself and he does it for other sports teams too. It's a way to build bonds and foster greater teamwork.
ReplyThat was out of respect on what they go through everything should strive to be in shape like the Seals
ReplyThis i the stupidest commentary ever to emulate the Seals is to honor them. Perhaps the writer is jealous.
ReplyWhoever thinks this is disrespectful to our navy seals clearly is looking for a story where this none to be found... get a life, and of course this is brought up by a ignorant Wisconsin fan.
ReplyIf anything it is honoring the Navy Seals and the message in the video is powerful and I just spoke with my boys about the message. GBR
ReplySimmer down now Bucky badger! If anything this video makes me even more inspired for what the Seals do. GBR
ReplySome folks just look for something to *itch about.
ReplyYou can't do anything without offending some snowflake out there. Sick of it.
ReplyAs a combat vet I am proud to see this type of passion passed on to the young men of husker football. How can a flake who has never served even know what disrespects or offends those who have
ReplyI’m a Force Recon Marine from Grand Island and this video is not an insult to us, but a salute to the warrior spirit that bonds men together whether on the battlefield or on the playing field.
ReplyScrew Wisconsin
ReplyThis stuff has gone one for years.
ReplyIt was no way improper!
ReplyI thought it was awesome and even if these were not athletes, it would still be a great thing for a lot of guys and gals to be going through.
ReplyWhat is wrong with people the video was great. Why do people read things in to some thing that isn`t there. Frost is bring back the culture that we lost. GBR
ReplyJust absolutely remarkable, respectful, and heartwarming to see this video. It makes me so proud of our team to work and associate their goals to be in alignment with the Navy Seals. God bless.
ReplyJust a Wisconsin shmuck...trying to put our team down. Go Navy and Go Huskers
ReplyNo it's not--but if the Huskers go 4-8 again?! lol
ReplyIt's a leadership training course, nothing more, team building. Never once did they imply anything different.
ReplyI thought it honored the SEALs.
ReplyThe Wisconsin blogger's account is totally homer (and he admits it!) but for Squareoffs to do this article is legitimizing a person who is not a legitimate "blogger". He is a tool and admits as much.
ReplyI have seen the hype video on many sites. And many comments from those that have served. Or currently serving and they think it's awesome! And so do I Go Big Red
ReplyI observed no disrespect from anyone in the video. Special Operations units do not have patents on specific training. "Winey Wisky" fans are mad their team doesn't look as good as out land lock boys
ReplyWhere is this Wisc fan coming from? If anything, it is a great compliment to our Navy SEALS.
ReplyRabid: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rabid 1a : extremely violent : furious. I could give a rabid rat's ass what someone thinks from Wisconsin... or from any other school for that matter
ReplyStupid. If anything it shows MORE respect to the SEALS. Nebraska respects them so much it wants to pattern aspects of culture-building in its' program after them. Somebody needs to get a life.
ReplyAsk Damian Jackson!!! He is a SEAL
ReplyWhy are we even wasting time with this showflake?
ReplyGo Big Red That What I Say
Replyjust because an opponent's fanatic says it is disrespectful does NOT make it so
ReplyRetired military here. A nice tribute to the hard work Seals put in preparing and training even in peacetime.
ReplyWisconsin has snowflakes this late in June?
Replyjust sour grapes by an opponent
ReplyGet out of here
ReplyThis video was recommended and helped to design BY A SEAL! If nothing else, it's a compliment to our Navy warriors.
ReplyRidiculous unfounded assertion by this Wisconsin “fan”.
