10000% this. It’s hard because he seems like a legit great kid. I really wanted him to succeed but fuck man
Reading this thread from the first half is just ridiculous. How can so many of you still be such sweet summer children? I bet Purdue +7.5, then bet Nebraska +7.5 when we were down 11 in 4q because I know there is no more efficient offense in the nation than a husker team that is down two scores with less than 4 mins in the game
I feel like people are missing that fact that 90% of the posts during the first half said we’d win because it’d be the worst case scenario.
How many of you remember thinking Mccaffrey would be the dude. Then he was worse than Martinez. This staff sucks balls at finding and coaching qbs. Don’t blame Martinez. Its not his fault he’s better than dogshit backups
I get what you’re saying but it doesn’t give the dude free reign to constantly miss easy throws. I think this thread gets into a mode where if you’re not blatantly blaming Frost they act like you’re supporting him. Frost can be a bad coach and Martinez can be a bad QB at the same time.
There’s gonna be a whole lot more of the gross throwing AM2 under the bus in an effort to shift blame away from Scott. You’re not wrong, of course, but commenting on the obvious limitations AM2 has often comes across as shifting the blame from where it ultimately falls. It’s Year 4 for both, but only one has the complete power and responsibility to make necessary changes that lead to Ws.
Martinez is like a 23 year old kid who got shit coaching from a shit coaching staff. Why blame him even 1%
I don’t disagree with any of that and I think there’s a big difference between BLAMING him and just calling it like it is. IMO saying “man that was a bad pick” or commenting on an actual play isn’t blaming him for the Frost era or anything wild.
Whose ready for an exhibition basketball game to stop thinking about our dog shit football teams for a few hours!?
Yeah but why is he playing? They know who he is after 4 years and still he’s playing. That’s not on him.
Yes I know that. All I’m saying is just because he’s playing doesn’t mean we can’t say “WTF?” after he does a chest pass to the other team.
I don’t disagree but I’m beyond blaming him for losses. It’s this constant refrain of players need to execute garbage that’s meant to shift blame from where it needs to be.
Sometimes the whole thing is so toxic and intractably fucked you can’t possibly extricate the right blame for each member of this incorrigible clusterfuck
“Don’t point the finger. Point the thumb.” - the best husker coach in the past two decades…..how fucking sobering is it to say that
I never ever in a million lifetimes would have guessed Ascott’s tenure would have been this bad. It’s honestly impressively husk to have it go down this way
Before someone tries to say I’m defending Frost I’m really just being a troll by asking this….but….Hoiberg is to blame for playing guys who can’t shoot free throws the last two seasons?
lol I texted my friend that a few minutes ago. I wasn’t sold on him being a slam dunk hire at the time, but I figured he’d at least be able to get us back to the Pelini level, just by default. I don’t know how anyone with a brain can say more time is deserved this is literally pushing all-time bad.
It’s his fault for the shitty FT shooting, yeah. It’s his job to make sure FT shooting doesn’t suck dicks and if it does year after year that’s what you call a trend
This 300+ lbs backup DL for OSU just returned a fumble like 60 yards for a TD. That’d probably be a top 5 longest TD of the Frost era.
We have 25 PR yards on the season, including today’s 11 yarder. I don’t think we need a special teams coach though.
tbh we both just gotta go all in basketball. football is stupid. we'll both suck forever for various reasons. Karl has stolen Scott's "best practice ever" line. Never puts a headset on, rarely seen communicating on the sideline. Just solemnly moves about. The offense is historically bad. Our OL was being coached by a guy who probably wouldn't be hired by Wayne State. Defense has actually been Top 3 in the conference but after getting stuck on the field for thee entirety of games is starting to fade. Our best player has been our punter. Basketball though. Basketball. Boyle has blown up recruiting. Best classes ever. They have an identity. They put people in the league. May Hoiberg be your Boyle.
Ive always said, when in doubt, trust your gut booze. Unless you’re in some Chinese mountain village drinking the mayors Plum/Snake/Antler shine, then just collect your side quest rewards and run home.
