Guys, let's be honest with ourselves. Scott has a pretty extensive history of losing productive players in the off season.
JD Spielman ring a bell? Wandale Robinson anybody? Luke McCaffery was sold to us as the next big thing.
Now Zavier Betts and Casey Rogers. Speaking of Zavier....go back and look at the absolute graveyard that the 2020 class has become. I count 13 of that class that are gone that would be entering their prime playing time years had they still been at NU.
Why does this keep happening? Because the players and the people close to them can see what a disaster Frost has been. The players see the program from the inside and know more about the day in day out than anybody so when a bunch of them decide to leave then what they are seeing everyday must be a shit show. Can anybody disagree with me at this point? Its not a one year thing. Does anybody question the football knowledge of JD Spielman's family? Wandale had people who are very active in the football world and they advised him to leave. Luke McCaffery has years upon years of NFL experience, including a super bowl champion, in his family and they were pretty vocal about getting Luke TF out of Lincoln. Kade Warner was a team captain and bounced and his superbowl champion dad fully supported that move. Once is just a thing, but having multiple people with football blood head for the exits tells the story.
I'm sure Scott will go with the old "Next man up" when addressing the Casey Rogers situation but has that ever been the case? We shouldn't pretend like another productive player leaving isn't going to affect us. At this point the transfer portal is the only thing holding this team together at all, but that isn't a viable solution for a program that wants to be a winner every year. Does anybody believe that we will hit 100% with the transfers? That they will all be great or at least good? I don't.
What about guys leaving that had a chance to play more? Deontre Thomas decided to leave and honestly it looks on the surface like a bad choice because his name isn't mentioned by any NFL people that I have seen but he still didn't want to be here any more. Why? Cam Jurgens looks like a good decision from the NFL angle but did it even really seem like a difficult choice for him? Adrian didn't shed many tears upon his departure. (Disclaimer: I'm glad he left) I'm sure there are more that I'm not remembering right now. Sure, guys leave early for their shot at the NFL from every team but our guys seem to be making that decision despite the substantial risks involved, almost as if they can't wait to leave.
Sure Frost has made some changes to the coaching staff but those moves seemed to have been forced on to him. Could they work out? I don't know, does it look like it's working out so far? The OL in the spring game looked like pre school. The coach Frost brought in was questionable. Would anybody be surprised that the only real substance behind the move was because they thought it gave Nebraska a shot at the coach's nephew? To me that is the level of Scott's brain. I'm serious. Anybody have some evidence to refute that? Can anybody point me to something truly smart that Scott has said? Any wisdom he put forth? A move that seemed ahead of the curve? Up to now they only thing we have gotten are old, recycled platitudes like "We know where this thing is going".
The only truly excellent move Scott has made with his coaching staff is the Mickey hire and that looks more like a Turd move than anything. (Just look at the way Turd ALWAYS mentions Mickey in any interview)
The hope for the new season is starting to fade more and more each week. Top young returning WR leaves. Lackluster spring game. New transfer QB with an injured hand. Top young returning DL leaves. The hits just keep on coming. The reality is starting to set in. We all know what the future has in store for us. Some of us are more than ready to admit it. Some of us still aren't there yet. My guess is that by late October it will be obvious that we will be searching for a new coach and finally ready to put an end to this tragic experience.
