The program was so broken that they need a few more years before we start to see what Frost has in store for the program. Let us trust him as we would Coach Oz

A coach with a solid track record, work ethic, understands Husker traditions and bleeds Husker red. Knows what it takes to win championships. Its a no brainer.

We see now how much Frost has to deal wt - the cupboard was bare. Recruits need to see continuity and commitment by admin that we know where we are going and patient to get there.

Enough with starting over. We now have a coach who cares about Nebraska FB outcome. This not a job for SF, this is his personal mission.

The University of Nebraska has too much time, money and confidence invested in Scott Frost. The contract extension verifies our commitment to SF. Back off and let him do his job!

I believe Frost is on the right path, and showing you back your coach is key in recruiting. Also a large part of the whole Nebraska is in is how quickly we have been willing to drop a coach.

We can win these games. Maybe give them a few reps but if they're not ready then it won't be pretty. Get two of three and play a bowl.

Scott is stating the facts............the question was asked and answered. Were names mentioned? No. He said he told the team the same things.......the problems are obvious when you watch them play

Frost/staff have their work cut out with a team essentially inherited from the Mike Riley debacle. Until their own recruits are the majority, the whip is going to need to be cracked, repeatedly!

Back in the day, this wouldn't even be a topic if players were called out for toughness. But in today's world everyone is overly sensitive - drives me nuts. Football isn't for softies - toughen up

The players need a team meeting without the coaches. They (players) need to start calling out their teamates as a whole and decide to step up or keep losing. Basically a gut check and heart!

Some of the fan base wants to blame the coaching staff and already wants Frosts head, He did the right thing making it public to give a taste of what he is saying to the players. It is on players now

Maybe he has been doing it in private, and it has been like talking to a fence post. Maybe this is his only option. We don't have enough information here to know for sure..

They have been playing like a bunch of California fruitcakes for the past 15 years+ yes they need to toughen up and play with some heart, guts, and desire. Nebraska hasnt played with any of that!!!!

I think that they definitely need to toughen up and i believe that's part of it. These players are used to losing and seemed more interested in getting out of the cold more than winning the game.

Clearly it didn't resonate with the team, on the field at least. No doubt about it, the statement did not change behaviors in a good way. I would have done the same, but it was a miss....

Look in the mirror Frost, and then forget about the loyalty factor and get tough with assistants. That last touchdown Purdue scored was ridiculous. DC can't seem to make adjustments. Call them out.

There could be other ways to go about it. Kids are different today. Not softer or bad attitudes, just different. Frost played with some really tough hombres, the likes of which we may never see again.
