It will be less than Mike Riley level excitement
Hope will be completely gone
Stadium will be 75% full (at best) probably half empty most weeks
“hot G5” coaches will be less likely to leave in the future once the playoff expands to 12. Good coaches in G5 will know they can annually have a great shot at a playoff berth. Stepping up to a P5 program that is “down” is basically putting ur career on the clock
Everyone said the “right way” to get us back is build thru the lines. It seems that is happening. We need to see wins this yr bc it seems everyone is ready to pull the plug before we get to see that process thru. Sucks it really all comes down to Adrian not getting hurt & not sucking. Frost hitched his wagon to him with no realistic other option. The biggest loss in the frost tenure may turn out to be Vedral. They really fucked that situation up in 2019 playing musical QBs against Indiana & not using Vedral against Purdue (after Adrian injured his shoulder) & giving him no snaps in the Maryland blowout
I know I will virtually not care about too much until fall Saturdays if Frost is let go. It's amazing how hindsight is 20/20 with the whole Vedral thing. He may not have been as athletic as Luke, but the guy gives a shit about Nebraska and would have fought his tail off every chance he got to play. Kind of ironic how Frost uses the Osborne blue print in using veteran guys to play until younger guys have the experience, yet gave Luke the chance over Vedral to keep Luke happy, and now we're in this situation.
I wanna see the Frost plan to its fullest extent no matter how many games we lose. To me, the fullest extent, at minimum, is the end of 2022.
Frost is doing everything right, in my opinion, except of the record. I know that's the most important part. But, amazing how the 1 or 2 mistakes a game, massive mistakes, have changed the entire narrative.
