Poll: Who Has Been the Biggest Disappointment So Far: Scott Frost or Fred Hoiberg?
- Thread starter Blue Howl
- Start date
Your vote is duly noted!
Yeah, and basketball is over and spring practice hasn't started yet, so it seemed like a good time to compare where we are with the two programs.This place would have gone dry years ago if we had to stick to the positives

I’ve never figured out why anybody gives a rip if people pump sunshine or pump the brakes. We aren’t curing cancer here. It’s a flipping sports team.
We are currently in the “other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?” timeline for Nebraska major men’s sports. It’s easy to get a little salty.

The only real disappointment I have with Scott Frost was his "cocky comments" when he arrived on campus, and not being able to back up those comments. Maybe he made those comments to give the players confidence to rise to the challenge even though he knew the team wasn't physically or mentally ready. Fake it till you make it. That hasn't worked out very well.
I'm always disappointed when any Nebraska team loses, from football to the rifle team. But losses don't mean that changes and improvements aren't taking place. My untrained eyes see both changes and improvements in football, and men's and women's basketball. Do I see national championships in any of the 3 sports next season? No, but I want to see some (a lot of) improvement in the play and coaching.
Both Frost and Hoiberg are changing over the rosters. As was stated earlier in this thread, Hoiberg job is easier to do. Much easier to change over 13 players than 130 players, thus it will take longer for Frost to accomplish this task. I also believe (again, my untrained mind) is it takes longer to develop a football player than it does a basketball player. Another hurdle for Frost to overcome in a comparison of the two coaches.
I still want both coaches to succeed beyond our wildest dreams. And I still believe it is going to require more patience.
As a side note, anyone who makes a 7+ digit salary, better be perfect in all thought, word, and deed from day 1. If not, they are being horribly overpaid.

Well, NU mens sports is horrible right now, so not much good to talk about. I understand why
agree with a lot of this, especially Frost!
For me, Fred needs to take some big steps in the next two years or he will be right that with Frost
Wow. I did not know that. Isn’t the basketball team the only one who has never won an NCAA tourney game? Power 5 wise? I think there might be one other school. Not sure.
I didn’t participate in the poll but would say that I’m disappointed that our records in both sports aren’t better and it is frustrating to see the losses in winnable games due to game management mistakes and poor execution. On the flip side, I’m personally still remaining patient and optimistic in football, largely because there were some extraordinary circumstances in each of the first three football seasons - the thunderstorm and Martinez injury cost us 3 games IMO in year 1, the fluky kicker injuries in year 2, Covid in year 3 have slowed progress. That said, Our coaches are still learning and persevering which, again in my opinion, well lead us to improvements. They are getting better equipped for the rugged nature of the B1G, improving special teams, defense etc. From where we were, it would have been difficult to have the instant gratification we all desired. But feel free to ask me again after the 2021 season!
Correct. We had the company of Northwestern until 2017. The Wildcats went almost 5 decades without going over .500 in conference play and had never even made the tournament field until getting invited and winning their first round game in 2017.
both are doing fine?
Me reading the poll results trying to make sure I actually saw votes for 'D'
