Culture and work ethic is probably the hardest thing to change. Player have now bought in fully. Results started to show. This year a step...next year a leap. After that...exciting to think about.

All phases of the game showed improvement throughout the season but not every single game. There were a few games that could have been better preparation for or in-game adjustments.

With how depleted the cupboards were I was hoping for 1 win so 4-8 was great! Just wish we could have beat Iowa. #iowahateyear

Go with a B- better than average but could have been significantly better with just a few points or stops in closer games and/or less penalties

We competed nearly every game and noticeably improved over the course of the season. I dont believe another coach could have done a better job putting this program back on the right track.

We may not be happy with the w/l record but let’s not forget there is only one that has walked on water. Frost inherited a wreck. We now have the Nebraska swagger back and can only go up from here.

Coach Frost seems to have the program attitude among players turned around. The players are playing harder and with much more desire than any program in over 5 years. He has the foundation built.

They got better and even feared by other Big 10 teams as the year wore on. Tough losses at first, but they persevered. Can't wait for next season!

He's not an A yet. His play calling in certain situations is questionable for me. He may want to consider that he is in the the B-10 and coach accordingly. But I'm just a layman. Team is heading up

Hard to criticize him for first half. He was fitting square pegs in round holes. Players who did not want to be here. A. He patiently turned the season into something to look forward to in 2019.

I think the 1st half of the year showed just how bad things had gotten under M. R. Ironically, the 1st half showed S.F. is not a miracle worker and the 2nd half showed he actually kind of is!

It’s a tale of two halves- the first half was historically dreadful . Grade D. The second half showed promise and we were competitive against quality opponents. Grade B+. The future is bright.

I would definitely give the offense a solid A. As for the Defense I would give them a D-, I think he should let the defensive coordinator go this off season, the defense was a consistent shit show!

His pre-game comments hurt us in at least one game - Purdue. Way too conservative late in the NW game.

When you think about where we started the season to where we finished. It is a drastic improvement. Being within a score of beating Ohio State, who just dismantled Michigan.

I'd give him an A. He had to start with a demoralized, flabby, undisciplined group who had given up on winning. Scott "gets it" that Christian values of faith & perseverance win at football & life.

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17
