I live in the OKC area and Charles Thompson has a radio show in the mornings on one of sports talk stations. I was driving home this afternoon and one of the other hosts had Thompson on as a guest. I turned it on right as the host asked Thompson his thoughts on the Nebraska program now that he has spent time around the coaches and the school and also asked why he thought Scott Frost has not had success. A few of Thompson's thoughts:
He watches a lot of film with Casey. He said they do it during the season and after the season. He did say that Sarkisian is a great offensive play caller.
- Mostly blamed the lack of talent on the team for the record.
- Said that if Frost wasn't a Husker lifer that he would probably already be fired.
- Liked the additions from the portal.
- Thinks that they should win at least 7 or 8.
- Said he doesn't think 6 wins would be enough for Frost to get another year.
- Talked a little bit about Nebraska recruiting and said not having a Texas recruiting pipeline hurts them. Said he talked to Broderick Thomas and Thomas says the same thing. He said with A&M in the SEC and OU/Texas going there it will make it harder for Nebraska to recruit Texas.
- Really praised Mickey Joseph and also said Applewhite will help them on the recruiting trail
