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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

Why was I not given an option to give him an A+++++++++?
ReplyCulture 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.
ReplySo much better than what we have had in recent years !!!
ReplyGreat job! Love our coach!
Replycam into a s*** mess with respect to conditioning and culture. Will get it done
ReplyAll 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.
ReplyWith how depleted the cupboards were I was hoping for 1 win so 4-8 was great! Just wish we could have beat Iowa. #iowahateyear
ReplyGo 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
Replyit was obvious. I am happy and proud of my Huskers!
ReplyWe 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.
ReplyWe 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.
ReplyC-, we are much improved bitbthere were plenty of mistakes and signs it was the first time in the big stage. He will be great but there were issues this year.
ReplyCoach 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.
ReplyThey 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!
Replyconsistent and tangible improvement each week, and the team play all 4 quarters, every down, every game.
ReplyAmazing progress. Nebraska is coming back!
ReplyImprovement in attitude, culture, and toughness was seen throughout season. Need to recruit offensive and defensive lineman who are absolute studs!!!
ReplyHe'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
ReplyGrade inflation.
ReplyHe is doing EXACTLY what needs to be done to turn this around. Makes you proud to be a Nebraskan. We are the happiest fans of a 4-8 team in the history of sports.
ReplyI think its closer to b- for me, our record doesnt show the progression or the heart these kids gained this season.
ReplyHard 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.
ReplyHe drained the Riley swamp. Obvious competitive improvement, and now there is no ceiling on the Huskers.
ReplyDuh
ReplyI 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!
ReplyIt’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.
ReplyB+ , he is building the program, it was in bad shape. Getting these kids to believe in themselves has been a challenge and he has them heading the right direction. From the 1st game I have been proud
ReplyI think the true measure of this season will be revealed in the next 2 seasons, with the foundation having been set this year.
ReplyPride, commitment, work ethic, accountability, etc are back
ReplyIf I had the choice of A through F, I give him an A! We haven't had anyone for such a long time that compares with Scott Frost's performance in upgrading to where we are already!
ReplyA
ReplyI give him a solid "B" for this season.
ReplyI hate measuring success in progress rather than wins, but I can’t remember ever seeing a team progress so much during a season as I did this year. Great job coaches!
ReplyGetting the players to believe in doing the right thing in all matters big and small.
ReplyI 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!
ReplyFirst half jitters perhaps,-D- second half B+
ReplyIt's a tale of two seasons. I give him a D for the first half and an A+ for the second considering how the first half went with an overall grade of C+. I can tell you this. Ive never been so excited
ReplyHis pre-game comments hurt us in at least one game - Purdue. Way too conservative late in the NW game.
ReplyWhen 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.
ReplyI'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.
