Stewart Mandel Prediction

Guess he has us beating Buttgers & Indianus in conference play?

Mitch Sherman Breakdown (from April)

Here's a tip for paywalled content: Inspect the page, hit the settings gear top right, scroll down and disable JavaScript and reload with the settings page still open... no more paywall

Is Nebraska closer to breakthrough or breakdown? For Scott Frost, a lot is on the line

If Huskers hold up in the trenches (and special teams), they could reach a bowl game with a manageable schedule. But those are big ifs.

Interesting note: "Frost, while handing control of the passing game to Whipple, maintains oversight of the ground attack."

I didn't know this, is this correct or just old/bad info?

is that using chrome as a browser? cuz i can't find java script settings, but i'm kinda worthless too.

Backing off your 12 win prediction?

I cycle between 8,9,10,11, and 12 win predictions. It just depends on the day

I'm the same I guess, but I float between 3 and 4 wins.

 

[skersker]

Wrong what a dipshit

We win 8+ this year

Easy

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

I think these national pundits have seen enough of scofro to think he'll live up to or (god forbid) exceed expectations. Many have said it for 4 years and now they are saying he's a 3-4-5 win coach until he proves otherwise. don't blame stewie at all.

But when I say it on the RSS, taters call me a troll and tell me to STFU.

Coach most likely to get fired​

Nebraska’s Scott Frost. The best guess here is athletic director Turd Alberts finally rips off the Band-Aid midway through what figures to be another mediocre Huskers season.

Mandel's Big Ten predictions: It's Ohio State ... and everyone else

Across the aisle, Scott Frost and Nebraska could be facing another ho-hum season.

By all accounts I've heard, the offense is Whipple's passing scheme plus Frost's running scheme. I remember Thompson saying that's what he was studying on film just after he announced his transfer.

[herbsinator]

Potentially...he finishes 4-8...there's no potential. He gone.

The only question would be whether you let him stick around as a lame duck.

 

[Irv]

I think he'll be safe with four wins.

That's a 25% improvement over the previous season. You have to keep riding that sort of a rocket ship.

 

[HerbRedman]

I don't think Frost is the solution long term. So I'm not opposed to a reset.

However I don't think we are bad enough to do a 4-8 with this schedule. I think that's just nuts. I also don't think Mandel realizes how much $$$ our NIL team spent on improving the roster. Mathis, Omar Brown, Tommi Hill, Thompson, Purdy, Palmer... not to mention Anthony Grant and Ajay Allen.

I don't think Mandel realizes that our boosters probably spent $2-3m upgrading this roster. No one in the West really did this. I'm all for the 4-8 but that's not realistic with the talent level there. Even for the biggest Frost haters.

Yeah, but it wasn't 3-9 talent last year. It wasn't "start the season 0-6" talent his first year. Etc.

Doubt Scott Frost's ability to obliterate the odds at your own peril.

I still wouldn't bet on 4-8 though. That be an embarrassing endictment of Whipple, Joseph, Chinander, Fisher and Bill Busch.

I'm predicting 6-6.

Now, if I was Mandel, I'd predict 4-8 too. Because, Fuck Frost. So I respect what he's doing. But for those rooting for armageddon, I'm hear to tell you that 4-8 is going to be tough. That involves a lot of good position coaches to just collectively shit their pants. That won't happen. 6-6 probably will. But not 4-8.

 

[slattimer]

with this schedule.

I keep hearing this. We couldn't beat Illinois last year. I don't care who is on the schedule or how "easy" it is perceived...sorry, not directed at you, I'm just tired of the narrative.

A few key injuries could make 4-8 plausible.

Key injuries can make any team go 4-8.

(outside of maybe 8-10 schools)

I think more schools than 8-10 can withstand a few key injuries and do better than 4-8. Two to three teams in the west could do better than 4-8 with some key injuries.
