Frost should take over the QBs and find a really dynamic coordinator who runs his style of offense.
If Rutledge is the only coaching change (not to include HCSF), and he wasn't a coach but an analyst, I don't see much improvement in our W-L record next season. I fear it will be the same problems, failures, we've seen in the past 3 years. To give all the coaching staff another year to figure out what needs to be corrected and how, when they haven't done it in the past 3 years, is showing me they don't believe they have a coaching problem but a player problem!

5 of the teams we play next year had losing records (Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Mich St., Minn.)
5 of the rest we play were in the final top 25; OSU, Okla., NW, Iowa, Buffalo.
2 not ranked still had winning records; SE Louisiana (8-5) and Wis. (4-3)
Even though we have most of our D Seniors coming back, which will be good, all the teams we play will also have players coming back.
To the first bolded....really? They don't think coaching needs to improve? I bet you're wrong. To the second....good point...never thought that other teams would have players back. Kinda kills my undefeated NC season dreams.If Rutledge is the only coaching change (not to include HCSF), and he wasn't a coach but an analyst, I don't see much improvement in our W-L record next season.

If that is true, and I am not saying it is not, NU would be one of the few to remain in a holding cycle for coaching changes. It is tough when you see new staffs being assembled that seem to be exceptional hires (based on performance at high levels), and existing staffs that likewise have been upgraded.There wont be any major changes until after Feb signing day. I think that’s a given. Check back in a month to see if there are would be my advice.
Like?No. There were player issues with Walters
I disagree to a point. If your winning games I can see just making a few tweaks. But if your losing like we are at the rate we are it pretty much tells you what we are doing isn’t working. Yes it was a. Tough year but it’s not like we where the only team going through it. To me frost should be looking to make huge changes since he has had three years in a row losing. Then again maybe your right no change is really necessary and frost some how magically turns it around next year and we don’t have a losing season. Anything less than six wins just might get frost fired. The noise is starting to get louder and it won’t stop if we have another losing season. Winning fixes everything so whatever changes need made non or some it all lays with frosty to decide it’s his job to lose not mine.I'd be interested how many programs saw the turnaround as a result of a change at the position coaching level. I would suggest more is gained from consistency and then making changes and modifications than by trying something new at a position, unless it is clearly not working.
That being said, I can see a change in order to bring a special teams coordinator into the coaching mix, but a change to try and improve one particular position doesn't seem like the magic elixir in my opinion. Keep the consistency - this year was the first with the roles assigned as they were - and see what tweaks can be made.
