Fred's radio show tonight

I mean his record here is worse than Nebraska's all time record vs top 3 teams

He has now coached 50 games against Big Ten competition since taking over in Lincoln three years ago.
His record is 5-45.
To put that in perspective, consider this comparison. Nebraska basketball has played 49 games all time against teams ranked Nos. 1, 2 or 3 in the country. Its record is 7-42.

Numbers as of 1/28/22

This can’t be true..
I looked up the stat. It is actually Fred's B1G play only vs Nebraska's all time record vs top 3 teams.

I added it to the original post.
 
Obviously someone in the Ath. Dept. has an agenda when it comes to Hoiberg because they would screen the shit out of those calls for anyone else. This is an Ath Dept run radio broadcast and they allowed "Eric in Cozad" to say that shit on air? I think the higher-ups are trying to shame Fred into resigning through bad PR and public pressure because they know they aren't going to pay the $18M. Before last night I hoped he would, now I hope Fred gives them all the middle finger. The double-standard for how coaches are treated, or allowed to be treated, by the media is egregious. Fred hasn't beaten a P5 team? How many did Frost beat in year 4? One. I'm sure if any local media member wrote an article about Frost like the ones Sipple and Shatel have written about Fred in the last 5 days, they would get their press credentials pulled.
That seems to be what is going on. I don't get it. Sad part is with basketball we are generally losing to teams with more talent than us. In football we are losing to teams generally with less talent than us. Someone posted the stats about us being projected to have more talent than every football team we play next season except for 2 (Oklahoma & Michigan). Almost every season under Frost we have had more talent then almost every team in the B1G West, yet we finish last or 2nd to last. The first hard hitting piece they write about Frost, well it will be the first hard hitting piece.

This is a prime example of why some of us have grown weary of what we are hearing is going on with the TC behind the scenes and our Athletic Department. Agendas, power, protection, making money....... all at a cost. Outsiders don't stand a chance of getting a fair shake. Fred is a nice guy who is respected as a Coach. Yes he needs to win more games but how can one give him any crap when the Big Dipper has failed even worse for almost twice as long. Frost has been collecting a paycheck for 5 years and is protected. A couple boosters worry that if Pillen wins the election Frost will be safe for much longer. GBR

The difference is media treats the 2 coaches completely different even though 1 has been a failure for 4 seasons and the other only 2.75 seasons.

Even if you take just the worst of Frost's four seasons (2021, .250) by itself, it's still better than Hoiberg's overall win percentage after 2.75 seasons (.244).

Bitch about Frost all you want, but Hoiberg has been so bad that even just reaching Frost's level would be a significant improvement.

This is 100% spot on. It is amazing how the media and University treat the 2 sports. With basketball, the gloves are off and anything goes. This is pretty strange considering NU is the historically worst P5 program in the history of the sport.

You would think that Football would and should be getting the hard-hitting questions and fan outrage more than basketball b/c our hoops program has literally nothing to live up to.

The media is a fucking joke and seems to think Frost is the love child of Thom Osborne and Jesus Christ himself by the way they treat the 2 programs..
 
It's almost inconceivable how bad Hoiberg has been. He should be ashamed of how his team plays.

I didn't think Hoiberg would be this bad, heck I thought he would be good given how his Cockeye State teams played. This is such a clusterfuck of a product he's putting on the court, IDK how it can be salvaged. But yet, we probably need to just realize he is getting 1 more year at least. Unless he cites health issues or something to bail, which would be fine for all around if something like that happens.

As far as Frost and his expectations and failure to coach a team to even a middling record - in some ways he has failed even worse given the history and past success of the football program. The unprecedented way we have lost almost all of our games under Frost is a broken record. Will this be the year Frost actually makes a jump as a football HC and gets this team playing at least as good as the talent on the field? The new assistants should be an upgrade and should help, but the man at the top (Frost) ultimately has to allow it to all come together.

Both Frost and Hoiberg have been unmitigated disasters though. Incredible the college coach of the year (Frost) and a quite successful former college coach and former NBA head coach (although Hoiberg's NBA resume/record stunk) can be this bad at coaching up the players on the field/court. Underachieving at a historic level.

I'm not a very spiritual person, but even I might be coming around to the idea that TO sold our AD to the devil for the nattys.

He's made more people take the Lord's name in vain since he retired than Moses thought possible when he brought the Ten Commandments down from Mt. Sinai. You might just be on to something here ...
 
At what point is the 18 million less than all the revenue the program is losing and will continue to lose with this shit product

Football is our money maker. If you are worried about the comparing eating $18 million to offset revenue losses for a sport I think the math would suggest eating Frosts $25 million would be exponentially more beneficial financially.

Honestly people who use the Frost Buy Out as an excuse aren't privy to what was going on behind the scenes. We had a couple big booster who were willing to write large checks to help offset a good portion of the cost of Scott's Buy Out. The Media that uses that Buy Out as an excuse either isn't tied into good information or much like CNN and their political coverage is following their orders. Can't piss of a certain group when it comes to Husker Athletics or you are in trouble. Look at how much Dean kisses Frost's ass in news conferences. It's pathetic. But in his defense if he asks the hard hitting questions he will feel the backlash. We saw similar under Pelini as to an extent he was protected. Pillen was one of the TC'ers who saved Pelini's job for another season.
