tPB is a source now? Congrats @HuskerGarrett you will be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Dean in no time.

“It’s A Trap”……….😳😱🤨

The next time I hear a positive story about Scott, it will honestly be the first time.

But he's from here.

But you just said a little bit ago that Mitch was the only one who was negative about Frost and told it like it is??

I could care less when the media starts playing fluff. The dirt comes out when coaches get fired.

Pretty clear his source for this was Benning. I’ll repost what I did yesterday so that we can think logically about this:

“Holy fucking shit. Benning is an absolute clown lol.

Damon is connected, no doubt, but he drops vague half-truths to generate interest and build his own brand. He is a master at leaving cryptic hints that overzealous fans devour and exaggerate.

Do you really believe Turd, who is the epitome of a professional, told Damon Fucking Benning confidential information from exit interviews? Those interviews are confidential by nature and the only people privy to them are Turd and a few other athletic dept. personnel.

Hell, Waterboy even had a damn exit interview (not with Turd, a lower level guy, third guy under Davidson) and was told his answers are strictly confidential and will not be shared outside the athletic department.

And Damon expects people to believe Turd called him up and spilled the beans? What an absolute thirst trap 😂😂”

Damon Benning is by far the most annoying Husker media guy. He thinks he is a fucking genius, and he loves alluding to scandal without any sources or specifics to let his listeners’ imaginations run wild and think he still has a scintilla of relevance.

Maybe you don’t live in the metro and have access to his radio show.

Damon literally spends 3 hours a day hinting at doom and gloom shit that only comes to fruition 1/2 the time. He’s absolutely masterful at making a whole bunch of nothing sound like something and a big portion of our fan base eats it up and gets him the attention he craves. He’s basically the Husker football version of a cock tease.

I’m guessing that Mitch’s “source” was present when @Boondock_St_Sker heard Benning say that there might be a few disgruntled players. And Boondock basically said, if I’m not mistaken, that Damon delivered it in his usual cryptic manner.

Honestly, we give Dean so much shit but Damon is just as bad except with a better delivery and less punchable face. Absolute clown.

I honestly think Damon is way worse. At least Dean doesn’t make his living off of lying—Dean’s problem is just that he is a massive dork and over-speculates.

Speaking of clowns…(you’re not wrong about Damon though)

Out of Nowhere is their podcast. They made fun of the 3-9 record and say the we are close talk is a big farce. They actually had us pegged at 3-4 wins before the season. They think Frost is in over his head and want him fired. They also call out the Nebraska media for being pussies. That’s the cliffs version. Their recap shows of games go into details.

They’re…not wrong

 

[Blackshirts_Win_'ships]

I mean mitch is hardly a decent reporter... He probably scooped it off here and ran with it.

Who knows, probably some truth but doubt it is as juicy as some are thinking.

This is some impressive egotism on your part

Interesting article he put out today. Seems to be confirming some of the turmoil going on, otherwise it would be odd to publish this.


LINCOLN, Neb. — If the first seven days of the offseason at Nebraska serve to preview the nine months ahead, buckle in for a bumpy ride before the Huskers kick off in Dublin against Northwestern.

The latest developments out of Memorial Stadium exacerbate the need to find impact players in the transfer portal, with the early departures of quarterback Adrian Martinez, first-team All-Big Ten tight end Austin Allen, second-team All-Big Ten cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt and defensive end Deontre Thomas. In addition, third-team All-Big Ten center Cam Jurgens and nose tackle Damion Daniels are on track to leave, said multiple sources close to the program. Jurgens has two seasons of remaining eligibility; Daniels has one.

It was a turbulent week behind the curtain in Lincoln. In the wake of a 3-9 season, the fallout began.

Conversations between coach Scott Frost and some of the departing players grew contentious, sources said, and several players took concerns to athletic director Turd Alberts. Alberts canceled travel plans Friday to attend meetings with Big Ten ADs ahead of the conference title game, participating instead via Zoom.

It all comes as Martinez, the four-year starter, entered the transfer portal and former Nebraska quarterback and LSU assistant Mickey Joseph returned as associate head coach, wide receivers coach and pass game coordinator.

Meanwhile, Frost continued his search for new assistant coaches — including an offensive coordinator — to replace the quartet fired on Nov. 8.

Who really thought, after five consecutive losing seasons, it would be a smooth ride to August?

Notably, the wait for Frost’s next move is occurring amid tension.

Between the end of the regular season and the open of the early signing period, the coach had 18 days to rebuild his offensive staff and sell a new vision to committed recruits — while attempting to add firepower to a class that ranks last in the Big Ten, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Now he’s got 11 days. Furthermore, the clock is ticking on transfer portal entries. More than 100 FBS players on Monday alone declared their intentions to find new schools. Nebraska, without a full staff or a known offensive identity, has been left more flat-footed than it would prefer at the start of a transfer season that needs to deliver a series of big hits.

Frost’s search to fill the spot for a play-calling offensive coordinator has led to speculation about numerous options. As the wait lengthens, it remains unclear if Frost has been turned down, or if he’s waiting on a decision from Zak Hill at Arizona State, while also looking at a pool of possible candidates that includes Robert Anae of Virginia, Warren Ruggiero at Wake Forest or Brent Davis at Army.

Donovan Raiola, the Chicago Bears assistant and brother of former Nebraska great Dominic Raiola, is believed to be under consideration to coach the offensive line. Ron Brown, a longtime former offensive assistant at Nebraska who has worked as an analyst this year and served as interim running backs coach for the Huskers’ final two games, may be in line to take that job on a permanent basis.

A special-teams coordinator might have to come later in the offseason.

What other areas of uncertainty could exist?

Well, there’s the quarterbacks. The identity of the next offensive coordinator looms large for returning QBs Logan Smothers and Heinrich Haarberg. It could also impact plans of Richard Torres, the San Antonio quarterback pledged to sign with the Huskers this month.

Nebraska is sure to scour the portal for a QB to compete with Smothers and others next spring. The first-time starter accounted for three touchdowns and 262 yards against Cockeyes on Nov. 27 in the Cockeyes’ 28-21 victory.

Martinez’s exit, while not a surprise, closed a chapter of the Frost era. He leaves as the all-time leader in total offense at the school after posting a 14-24 record as the starter since 2018 and the only three-time captain at Nebraska.

The arrival of Joseph opens another chapter. His hire was announced Friday. The 53-year-old assistant played QB at Nebraska from 1988 to 1991 under Tom Osborne, starting in 1990 for a nine-win team. He got his start in coaching at Omaha North in 1995 and spent the past five seasons at LSU, earning acclaim for recruiting prowess.

Joseph coached Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Terrace Marshall, a record-setting group, for the Tigers’ 2019 national championship team. His receivers this year at LSU included former five-star prospect Kayshon Boutte and four-star talents Malik Nabers and Chris Hilton.

Seemingly set to receive a raise over his $500,000 LSU salary, Joseph provides an immediate boost for the Huskers in recruiting. His reputation and resume figure to excite a receiving corps at Nebraska that, while disjointed under former offensive coordinator Matt Lubick, features considerable talent.

Omar Manning, the NFL-caliber wideout, is eligible to return for one season after he recorded 27 catches for 379 yards this year, his first as a contributor. Zavier Bettscaught 20 balls and flashed high-level ability. Young receivers Alante Brown, Will Nixon, Latrell Neville, Kamonte Grimes and Shawn Hardy could provide plenty with which Joseph can work.

In Joseph, the Huskers perhaps found a dose of stability. Their hope is that it’s contagious

Looks like all he did was surf tPB and a little RSS ans patched together a summary from it.

Cost him his job? The dude went 3-9 in his fourth season and is seeing a fifth. Who cares about close losses? A loss is a loss.

And a Top 100 Trojan's Boner of the Week coaching decisions.

 

[Shortbus2013]

Why do you think this? Mike513’s posts on RSS were pretty negative. Everything I’ve heard sounds pretty somber as well. Maybe things truly aren’t that great?

Who is Mike513? Does he really have insider knowledge that he claims?

He’s been pretty spot on in the past. Matya acknowledged that he brings the goods.

I dunno, but based on what I’ve seen out of him in the past, I trust him.

[Cash68847]

It just doesn't add up. Why would the players not stop trying during the regular season after their coaches were fired? Why would Mickey Joseph come here knowing he's walking into a cluster fuck (he had to know, I'm sure he talked to Turd and former players before taking the job)? Why haven't we seen more players names in the portal if there's really so much turbulence? It seems to be only the old players that were likely to move on anyways that are pissed off? Idk, it's just doesn't make sense.

MJ got 600 k a year and 3 years, so he did get pretty good insurance if things go wrong.

Whether the stuff about the team turning on Frost or not is true, this is huge waste of money if MJ isn't on the next coaching staff. Thought the point of keeping Frost was to save money. You won't save money with a few more contracts like this.

It’s pretty evident Frost had backing from a group above Turd and that is why he is still coach. Turd would have fired his ass. I don’t think it has as much to do about money as some others. Hell MSU can pay an unproven coach like Tucker 9.5 million a year.

 

[DrinkItIn]

At least the players like Turd I guess.

Not even sure why Nebraska has an athletic director if this is true.
