I do think the law of averages has tried swinging in favor of the HUSKERS at times but when those occasions have come, Frost & players seem to pick the same inopportune time to make silly mistakes and have costly turnovers & penalties. Even the law of averages can't overcome the seemingly endless Three Stooges moments.

I know a couple people who are on vacation for venturing in to this area, so I was just using your message as a P.S.A.
I didn't take it that way either, just trying to make sure folks are aware that we have to be careful when discussing things of that nature.
I don't know if it is fair to throw the defense in the poorly coached category. They seem to hold their own and are not blowing assignments at the pace they used to. The offense coming off the field so much leads to them wearing down later, but wouldn't put that on defensive coaching.
Stoops walked into a great situation. Blake was an excellent recruiter and they had a lot of talent on the roster. It was literally poor coaching that was holding them down and Stoops resolved that.
I really think our ills center around QB play. UCF and Oregon were not even average defensive teams. Hard to say about special teams because they didn't rely on them much. You took a high powered offense and outscored your opponent and shortfalls everywhere else were covered up by the scoring. The offense is a shell of it is suppose to be. They don't trust AM to make throws to a chunk of the field or to throw into tighter coverages and then he isn't consistent enough even when the play is there. And it looks like tempo is now out the window which was suppose to be the backbone of the system.
I made the comment the other day that if McKenzie Milton was QB in that last game, what is the score at the half? I would say it would have been a 2 or 3 TD lead. Everyone becomes more confident.

Good call, and a quick reminder sure doesn't hurt.
While I mostly agree with you, it needs to be someone who is at least familiar with the uniqueness that is Nebraska. I think that’s important to know. Also, needs to be dudes who are eager and don’t mind the travel. I’m not sure what the answers are. Thought NU was set for 20 years.
Nebraska has talent here man. Enough to win more than you lose. When Frost got here, there was that. Plus. NU is just getting lousy coaching. As for the defense, I’m not sold. They are ok, until they get punched and then they fold. They’ve been horrible.
Easily explained during the interview process.
In all honesty, I have no idea what will happen. I just know a real coach wouldn’t stand for this slop called football.
Nah, that’s not enough. They don’t have to have played there, but if they’ve coached against them before, been there several times, I think that plays a role. I’d like for Frost to just start winning and not think about this.
Whose idea was it to move to the Big Ten anyway?
... and this line of thinking leaves me frustrated we didn't pursue him when he was available.
I didn’t like the excuses, really, ever. I thought it was pretty weak on his end. All the talk, I thought he was a no nonsense, competitive dude that would not stand for bad football. He better turn it in a hurry, because a loss to Buffalo (really, not unlikely), and a 70-12 beating @OU, and it will be ugly ugly.

That stopped during the Riley years. I expect it now. That, my friend, is the sad part.
I just had 1997 NU/Washington pop up in my YouTube feed, I watched it last night. Man, what a difference, with everything.
99% of us don’t have $20,000,000 buyouts if we don’t succeed. There aren’t consequences for fired Head Coaches, other than what you can look at in the mirror at your own self.
