Yant rumor

Forgive me for my ignorance but is "sloganeering" like UT saying "all gas no brakes" or "no block no rock" stuff like that?
No. It's things like Row The Boat which are different for unexplainable unidentifiable reasons

So Held was a rah rah guy
 
I would be pissed too if I was not one of Frost's Pets that got playing time no matter what. Some make a mistake and get sent to Siberia while others make the same mistakes every week yet start while being protected and even praised. No consistency in how the players are handled. Yes Yant tripped once at the goal line. He may have missed a couple blocks. But a player of his size and athletic ability has to cringe watching 184 lb Middleweight RB Rahmir Johnson constantly being run up the gut into 300+ linemen on short yardage runs until he is literally Concussed.

Read the room Scott, please read the room!!!! Players might not necessarily be smart but they aren't all idiots. Overused undersized skill players running between the tackles until beat up & injured (Robinson & Washington). Scott playing that same broken record again and again and again.
I could be completely wrong, but I feel like the only "pets" Scott has are Adrian and Jurgens. For the most part after that, it seemed like he let his assistants decide the other rotations. Hasn't he even said in the past (or it has at least been discussed/rumored) that he isn't usually even aware who the assistants are sending into the game at certain points and that has, in at least a little way, affected the play calling? At least for OL, it seemed like other than forcing Jurgens the first year, he had left that up to Austin until this year when he got much more involved and changed up the lineup, no?
 
There have been footwork issues with our backs all year, and Yant has been one of the problem spots there. The RB has fucked up on running the same counter action in just about every game from OU on. Just happened against OSU w/ Yant, so I have to assume dude got reamed over that. Would assume that things like RBs not executing the fundamentals are part of why Held is gone.
 
I mean come on..Yant was awarded a scholly after 1 spring. He's a freshman that played some this year. He's not Herschel Walker. If he leaves, then bye. If he stays then that's fine too.
But in a season where we are struggling he at times has been one of the few bright spots on offense. Easily our highest Yards/Run Average. For a coach who claims to want to wear down teams Yant was 1 back that definitely took a toll on defenders trying to tackle him. He's a load and if I was a DB, heck even a linebacker I would get beat up trying to stop that 245 lb load. Seemed like a nice compliment to the smaller speedier Johnson, yet Johnson was used a vast majority of the time in power short yardage runs up the gut. I would be frustrated if I was Yant watching that almost every game.

You coach, and I coached also. If a teenager has a great game I can understand if they are frustrated when the next game comes and they hardly play. Our rotations at times have almost seemed to have almost penalized the RB with the Hot Hand. We as a staff always talked to players about rotations before the games. Nothing wrong with leaning on a Hot Hand but when has Johnson been a Hot Hand? IMHO the handling of the players rotations and even how they are called out in press conferences has been one of the glaring weak points of this staff. Maybe that explains why we have one of the highest Attrition Rate for players leaving a Power5 team. Good coaches these days need to be part Baby Sitter, part Psychologist & part Motivator to deal with the mindset of today's entitled teenagers. Seems like this staff isn't very good at any of the above listed traits. TO had a great way of communicating with his players and earning their trust thus was repaid with their loyalty. We have players running out the door at a record pace, sometimes even before they have ever practiced with the team or even during a season.

No argument about rotations. I'm not going to pretend to understand what was going on with the Nebraska rotations. Liewer ever.....ever seeing an offensive snap in a Big 10 game will always blow my mind. And yes I would understand Yant's frustration. But at the same time, I'm like...dude you're a freshman. You were given a shot, you're really gonna transfer because you're frustrated over this? You're a walk on that earned a scholarship, you've battled up this hill. You're only a freshman, and now you're gonna cut bait and leave? Rhamir Johnson played well for Nebraska. Stepp had some good moments. Yant had some moments. Particularly in one game.

It's just being 39 and not understanding the times for me. I don't understand why, if you are Yant, you would transfer.

Of the RBs in that room...Marvin Scott leaving would be easier to understand for me.
 
I heard he fucked Frost's wife...

I have been lead to believe otherwise but there are others on here that know better than me. Obviously Martinez & Jurgens are known examples. I cringed so hard when he mentioned not knowing which players were in the game thus affecting play calling. How had the coaches not gone over situational rotations? And play calling? That was an immediate red flag that they were not a very detail oriented staff.

The pets part also goes beyond just playing time. Different treatment for his favorite star players like Washington and even Robinson. They were handled and treated differently than the other players. Washington was out of control yet other players were held accountable for much lesser actions, so Yant getting into an argument with a coach seems minor to the crap following Washington around. And when Robinson was Cited for Possession of Marijuana which amazingly didn't appear to cost him time and seemed to get buried by the Media. Yet only a few weeks later Frost comes out in a Press Conference talking about accountability and doing things the "Right Way" some of the players that were great examples of what he was looking for and he praised Robinson. Yet he is lecturing on accountability and brings up virtually the only player who was publicly mentioned involving drugs. And for the record I could care less about weed as I think it should be legal, but still players see him talking out of both sides of his mouth at times.

Tough discussion. What do you do in Year 2 when the fans want success and your star players are getting in trouble but you don't have enough depth with other star players so there's a drop off if you bench those guys, leading to not winning? Knowing what we know now it obviously wouldn't have mattered, but what do you do? I'm in in the camp of full accountability and discipline regardless of who you are, but when your livelihood depends on it, I can see where the decision gets difficult I guess.
