I struggled with this decision. We have talent, but that hasn't been our problem recently. Execution, special teams and the O-line have been our Achille's heal (in that order). If we can improve in 2 of these areas, it should be enough to get us 7 wins.

I think our offense will score a lot more points than last year and the defense will shut more teams down on 3rd downs.

I think we may have to win one of the last four tough games to be bowl eligible.

Tough teams on the schedule, and Scott has not proven his coaching abilities as of yet.

The defense has made progress. The offense not so much. The real problem is Frost's dedication to Martinez. Adrian is a great guy, but his minuses exceed his pluses.

Yep, it needed to happen, just like it would at KU for basketball. Nebraska is still a blueblood in football for now and below mediocrity is not acceptable. Scott got more than his fair chance.

We are at a point of desperation. What do we have to lose at this point? I really thought Scott was our guy and I hate the idea of starting over again. But there was something wrong with Scott. When he spoke at press conferences, he had no passion, no energy, and his eye contact was poor.

The production was there from those coaches. Better to make the decision then, so you can still have a positive impact with recruiting.

The team was not going to become better with their existing staff. Make the cut and start improving.

The coaching staff and new players deserved to have the 5 games until Oct. 1 to jell into a team. I hate knee jerk reactions and bowing down to a rich donor.

If you are not going to make new hires before the end of the season anyway, what was the purpose in firing them now? It will be interesting to see how the offense performs, but I can't see this as beneficial.

I think you have to consider the fact that talent-wise we are fairly equal to our competition. Realizing that, we have (or should have) a 50-50 chance of doing what we want. We simply don't know how to win. Thus our odds fall to 20-80. Winning will change EVERYTHING.

In just 2 years UCF implemented Frost's offense and was executing it FLAWLESSLY...but they still look like the Keystone cops in year 4 at Nebraska..
