The excuses:

"I feel really bad about Scott. He had a lot of things going for him in Central Florida and then maybe he didn't have the best talent when he got here, and then the pandemic, he probably had more bad bounces than good bounces, but he's a good coach and a good person."

Objectively, I think that’s a pretty accurate statement.

First two are true. Third one is an excuse. But, to Scott's fault, team hasn't gotten much better even though recruiting has been good technically.

Turns out you’re the potato

 

[kenyanfeline]

I disagree completely.

It doesn’t matter how shitty of a coach you are, you don’t lose 11 games in a row by less than 1 TD without some bad bounces. Even with absolute shitty coaching, some of the shit that has happened to us has been unprecedented.

The 2018 team was arguably the most talented he had. The pandemic is probably the weakest excuse of them all, clearly the Wuhan didn't only affect Nebraska. Hell, Nebraska did more in the offseason than most of the B1G teams and we were still bottom of the barrel. Weak as fuck.

The bad luck excuse is dumb. 90% of luck in Football is self-made. You do all the little things wrong and you're going to get all the bad bounces. Periodt

Pure star power and NFL draft results says it's probably the 2021 team. But these are things that actually happened. Hell, Penn State looked like shit in 2020. They're not a shit program. 2018 is probably 2nd most talented overall. Excuses are opinions that you either agree with or don't. Things that happen are facts.

Of course Dr. Tom is going to back is guy. It's pretty uneventful

If you are a Scott F apologist, this makes sense.

If you hold him accountable, then it's BS.

He had his chances...period.

Much more tempered response than I was expecting ITT.

So you're saying that the Pandemic only adversely affected Frost and Nebraska? That is your fact?

Really? The talent Forst inherited was really that bad.

See the Huskers drafted and that signed UDFA deals under Frost, the cupboards weren't bare.

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Yes. GOAT (well maybe behind Saban) coach but didn’t do a great job after that. Actually don’t blame him for hiring Bo because most of the fan base wanted Bo. However he bungled the 1997 search which is the root of what is going on in the program today.

HAVING SAID THAT, the media needs to leave the guy alone and stop asking for comment every time something happens. The dude looks like a walking corpse nowadays and deserves to live out his final years (months?) in peace.

Are you meaning to say the talent was bad or no? Unless I'm not reading right, totally possible, you're contradicting yourself.

No, I just gave you Penn State as an example. It affected everyone. All I'm saying is TO stated something that happened that had an affect on college football and Frost specifically, that's it. If he would have used another example of a big game where the team came down with a stomach bug or something and looked terrible, then I would agree with you on it being a bad excuse. I use that as an example of our Big 12 title game flu game.
