Why was I not given an option to give him an A+++++++++?

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

He 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.

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.

He drained the Riley swamp. Obvious competitive improvement, and now there is no ceiling on the Huskers.

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.

B+ , 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

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!

It'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

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.

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.

He's an athlete, and a good one. He's to valuable to be sitting on the sidelines. He needs to be part of the rotation.

It just seems he isn't a true QB and maybe this (TE) is where he should have been all along. And now with several leaving the position this could be perfect. Nothing is "hidden" these days.

He needs a lot of time learning how to run behind his pads. If he does not learn that, he is going to get hurt. He also does not come across as a real fluid athlete. Strong and fast for sure but really do not see much flexibility and vision as a runner.

This works if Rhule gets a great qb in the portal. Kaelin didn't play a down even though he could have played in four games. And now he's gone. One blindside sack and Raiola is down for the count and Haaberg is back at qb. I do give Haaarberg an extra A for effort as always.
