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.

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.

Bamas D is NOT better! I live in the south and believe me, their 2 main tests they failed miserably. Ole Miss and Fla rolled up all kinds of points and yardage on them. Bama feasted on a mostly weak SEC this year. They will lose this game. Take the points!

Genuinely surprised more people are taking the Buckeyes. I think Alabama is well coached with better athletes across the board. If Buckeyes can run on Bama there's a good chance they win. I'm not sure they can. But I am sure Bama can pass on OSU and that's dangerous. 38-31 Tide. Hope I'm wrong!

They are tuff to beat. Ohio may be more hungry which could be the difference. I just wish there was some new faces in the playoffs. I do not like either one of the two.

For no other reason than they are in the Big 10 and they were vocal supporters of Nebraska's desire to play this past fall. They supported us, so I support them.

I really like Justin Fields. Some conference pride. Also Ohio State helped Nebraska get the BigTen to play football. Alabama is probably better, but I am pulling for tOSU.

Need some conf pride here. Tired of seeing SEC and ACC winning this game. And besides, when we beat OSU next year in Lincoln, it will be a real feather in our hat!!! (Got to think positive)

Thinking positive doesn't make things happen. I hope the Buckeyes win but between having a banged up QB and facing the best offense in college football it's a tough task!

The SEC was pretty week this year top to bottom except for AL. They haven't faced a running attack or as balanced an offense as OSU. Nor have they faced a D this good, particularly the secondary. OSU 27 BAMA 24

Having only 2 losses as late as November 20 certainly qualifies for an A.

The talent is there, but the focus and subsequent execution isn’t there. Too many mistakes. And if I see another shotgun formation at the one yard line, I’m giving up and watching the LPGA.

Some decent progress on D. Offense clearly regressed from 18 and 19. Penalties and bonehead mistakes at crucial moments and inconsistent play on the O line continues to crush the O.

One part of the culture hasn't changed: Discipline. Until it does, we'll remain sub 500. Too many penalties, turnovers, coaching errors to win those close games. Talent gets us close, but discipline gets us wins D improved, O regressed wtout a WR who can spread the field & a QB who can pass long

There seems to be lack of development is many areas. Still too many penalties. Still losing the turnover battle. Still lacking progress in special teams. Still inefficient in the downfield passing game. Still little breakaway long runs. Frost must bring a winning season in 2021 or seat will get hot.

I am a Scott Frost supporter and believe he is the man for the job. However, I am not sure I can say that about all his assistants. Austin needs to produce results. Coach V is supposed to be a QB Guru but it has not translated to the field. I am confident Frost is the right man for the job.

I am surprised at the lack of progress. For all the advantages of being Nebraska and its football pedigree, why are schools like Cincinnati (and others like Liberty and Coastal Carolina) easily surpassing us? If it wasn't for Scott Frost I would make a change. But I love Scott Frost.

If the question was centered on Defense, I'd give that an A- or B+. I'm very encouraged by that but every bit of progress there was offset but an anemic offense. However, Martinez was much improved on the back half of the season outside of the Minny game. In total I'll give it a C.

Martinez was best as freshman coach need to match plays to talent and run some option football. How about the I Deidrick is a great fullback and Robison as I back would be a hell of a challenge.

They have gone from less than mediocre to one if the worse teams in the BIG. This is in spite of having more talent than many of the teams that have passed them.

Anyone who watched this season would know there was no progress, aside from possibly the defense. Offense and special teams were atrocious.

Atrocious is a bit harsh for special teams. Culp was an All Big 10 kicker. We were on our 2nd string punter to start and 3rd string the last few games. I'm not worried about special teams.

3-5. Ouch. They look like a team with little to no discipline. Penalties, turnovers, missed tackles, horrid special teams.

Overall a C. A year that has been nothing but endless strangeness along with awful (and I don't mean just football related) 2020 gave us an improved defense that made Chin and his assistants look like the best coaches on staff.

D+ HS level football is right. No discipline. We need a BIG running back, a BIG fullback. Wandel can't continue to take a beating; targeting, hands-to-the-face, holding. Either the receivers are slacking off and not knowing routes, or they are a discipline problem.

Some progress on defense but 3-5 doesnt warrant an A or B. Ended with a win but it included same issues. Those turnovers and penalties will get you beat 95% of the time.

Still seeing turnovers, penalties, special teams meltdowns, and some other usual suspects. The defense did look good at times, but consistency hasn’t entirely been established there. You have to hope there’s a future eruption just below the surface, but that’s been a long held hope.

One quality all great, or even good, defenses possess is the ability to pressure a quarterback. We very rarely made any QB sweat, giving them more than ample time to pick us apart (especially on 3rd downs).

Anyone who thinks that the ‘skers have progressed is asleep at the wheel... 3 years in with Frost & his crew and it couldn’t be more disappointing.... they’re a joke and it is quite apparent that nothing will be changing anytime soon ..the program is Broke!! ..

Mistakes, penalties, fumbles, coaching, scheme and youth. I like Frost. Players are playing harder and more physical. Many of the players came from winning programs. Need that winning attitude. IA, NU, WI, IL, MN and OSU have that attitude and swagger when they play Nebraska.

The same mistakes in year 3, not a good look. Quarterback play is worse than ever. Offense scores less points than recent memory. Special teams woes, penalties.
