I think everyone agrees it's been a sh!tshow for the past 3 years. No one likes it. To compound issues, our head coach didn't quite know everything like he thought he did, and should have tempered his bravado a little bit coming in. To me, the question is this: Do you want to suffer through some growing pains, to give time for a coach to grow, so that we have a native son who will stay and coach the Huskers for a couple decades, or do we want to recycle coaches every 3 years? For me, it's the former, even though I'm disappointed with the current product and think it's taking longer than I had hoped. It's taken Frost a little while to figure out what he doesn't know, and I think everyone agrees next year will be pivotal to show some forward momentum with the program. The OL seems to be stocked with better talent, and the Defense has improved, so let's hope that those translate into better performance on gameday. Ball security and general sloppy play are critical things Frost has to solve before he can move the program substantially forward, IMO. But, these are mental issues and are fixable, and a few less drives killed by penalties leads to a few more wins. Martinez has been a disappointment the last 2 years for sure, and his lack of ball security really hampers the Offense. Martinez needs to improve for this Offense to click, unless Frost switches to heavy power run, with 15 play action passes a game. I think Frost himself knows if he posts a losing season next year that he is in hot water, so I expect to see some urgency out of him. I agree that the evidence so far hasn't been impressive, but I want Frost to get a full 5 years for this rebuild, which was substantial.
