So we should fire the staff and... what? Do you have a solution, or are you just a guy that wants to complain?

Things were infinitely better then than they have been since.
I'm a Frost guy, but he and this staff deserve some grief for the lack of improvement and what looks more like regression every game. Sure, injuries play a role, but this was Minnesota. Minnesota.
I agree three more seasons like this then frost was the wrong hire but we have to give him three more years. At the very least the next coach will actually have some better players to use when they take over if frost isn’t the guy.
Yeah losing is one thing. Getting completely dominated is another.
Completely dominated by a team half our board members thought were a handful of plays away from being winless.
Thank God we don't play Georgia Southern.
I remember getting blown out by Colorado, getting blown out by Iowa State, getting blown out by Penn State, getting blown out by Kansas State. Getting blown out by Missouri. I remember bumbling around with Ole Miss in a bowl game. They were better but there were obvious signs of where we were headed if you were willing to take off the Big Red Blinders.
At least Nebraska can get a participation trophy.
Yes and no, in my opinion.
We panicked. We believed Nebraska winning 9 games was a birthright (ha ha) and we had a nitwit for an AD at the time who thought he was the savior of the program. We blew up what worked. We've blown up the program 5 times in 18 years thinking that the only problem with Nebraska football was lousy coaching. Wrong.
The first thing we need to come to grips with is the reality that college football has drastically changed. The money has made everyone a player in building facilities, hiring coaches, and recruiting.
I hate to say it, but what made Nebraska special was the fact we cared. In an era before college football become an insane money maker, we spent the money. We built the facilities. We were at the cutting edge. Now, everyone has a massive budget and great facilities. The recruiting services publicize who and where the talent is. It's harder to fly under the radar.
Bottom line is that while Frank may not have ultimately been the answer, we blew the program to smithereens when he was fired in a panic move. That set us adrift in a brand new world of college football without a foundation. Frost is essentially trying to rebuild that foundation brick by brick. We have to give him time to do that.
Agree, good points
This team is terrible. I think they are a testament to how far Nebraska football has fallen. What I was completely wrong about was that Frost's coaching would help to overcome the players substantial physical inadequacies. That clearly isnt happening. Nothing good is going to come from this season. I will be surprised if they get 2 more wins. Who knows what will come from recruiting in the next few years...but the difficulties involved in turning this mess are clearly massive.

Relax man. We are all upset and we all care. Thill is a good guy.
Fleck had them ready to play with a good game plan. Never thought their o and d- lines would manhandle Nebraska. They’re playing with confidence and Nebraska not so much.
Still think Frost will turn things around but it’s going to take a lot longer.
I don't have a problem calling out Frost. And the whole staff. I agree with you that firing the staff would be an overreaction. But I think it's fair to discuss some insufficiencies right about now. It's ok to hold them accountable. I think to ask for action versus complaint is a bit extreme. This is a discussion board. It's not fair to say if you want to complain then you are for firing the staff. There's probable cause for feeling suspicious about Frost and company right about now. The team is terrible under Frost. The reasons why are open for debate. I tend to think he isn't ready for this stage. Some think that's blasphemy. Yet watch the same game I do.
