Frost's first year we can rattle off ten wins.

Unconfirmed

Am I the only one that sees Scott Frost winning nine or ten games next year?

Yes, I know we play road games at Michigan, Ohio St, and Wisconsin. But this is similar to when Bo came in. We were 5-7 the year before, finally woke up and canned that imbecile Callhan. We ended that stupid West coast offense that was a complete nightmare.

Bo takes over some decent recruits and goes 9-4. Of our four loses, one went to OT and the other we lost small and then we got blown out twice. A massive improvement from 2007 season.

I'm just a little dismayed by all the What is our record going to be in 2020 posts. Frost will improve us immediately people. Not to mention unite the fan base in a way we've probably never been united since Osborne was around.

Does anyone else see us cracking off 9 or 10 in Frost's first year or I am living in fantasy land?

Did... did you watch Callahan’s teams? His offenses were not the problem.

No kidding, 470 yards per game. Total yardage was 29th in the country at the end of the season and that’s playing at least one sometime two less games than teams above them.

I don't see it. If frost does come here I'd expect 6-6 at best

I'm telling myself every hour that frost isn't whose coming so I can't be too disappointed...

Aw who am I kidding if he doesn't end up here I'm gonna cry

6-6 is a very realistic expectation. The team will have to learn a new system both offensively and defensively... assuming the whole staff is fired.

Anything above .500 is a bonus.

If he becomes our coach I'm giving him a few years to get his guys to run his system. I'm not going to fall into the trap of expecting immediate success from him.

You’re in fantasy land, friend. Have you seen our schedule next year? Plenty of solid teams on there with most of them being away games.

I think this thing will take a few years to turn around. The laisse fair attitude that Riley has instilled in this team has will take a good coach and a season or two to beat out of them and with next years schedule, I’d just be happy to go bowling

I always think people are reasonable, and then am confronted with strong evidence for why that is a stupid assumption.

Have you watched any of the games this year? 9 or 10 wins is a ludicrous projection.

OP is already in offseason mode, nobody is reasonable in offseason mode. Drink your kool-aid and pre-celebrate the 2018 national championship!

I honestly believe that Frost would significantly improve our team right out of the gate.....IF we get a decent dual-threat qb. I know qb's don't like to be defined as dual-threat, but we need a serious running qb with decent passing ability. With our current qb stable I don't see much. Hell make JD Spielman our qb for the first year and run the fuck outta the option. I wouldn't be opposed to having a 2qb system for a season either (a la Northwestern a few years back). At the end of the day we need a coach that will find ways to win and not just be surprisingly positive in Monday-morning press conferences.

I like where your heads at with spielman but he's too small imo

coppercaveman•

10-2 next year would be national coach of the year type coaching. Personnel wise the next coach is inheriting a dumpster fire on defense, and probably breaking in a brand new qb with a bad offensive line on offense

6-6 to 7-5 would be a good start

not_to_nickelback•

I expect 7-8, would be very happy with 9, and chugging kool aid and declaring us back with 10+.

3
FearAmeerrUNO•

Even 9 wins i'd be chugging the koolaid. To get 9 wins means most likely we would have to upset at least one team such as michigan/wisconsin/ohio state/io_a

2
NewInSphere•

What 7-8 teams do you expect to win against?

2
not_to_nickelback•

Akron, troy, Colorado, Iowa, northwestern, Purdue, Illinois and Minnesota. If we dropped 1 I'd be fine, 2 a little disappointed.

NewInSphere•

Man, I feel like that's asking a lot.
Of those, I think you'd agree that Akron, Troy, and Illinois are all must wins to not have a bad season. Purdue and Colorado should be wins. But Iowa, Northwestern, and Minnesota are in no way expected wins in my mind. I don't know what those teams return next year for players, though. I have heard people say Iowa is a young team this year, which is why they've been inconsistent.

BirdBoyz•

a lot of the players i've talked to said that with frost 8-4 would be reasonable next year - unl student

3
NewInSphere•

Wait.... you're saying current nebraska football players have said to you that they would win more games with different coaches?

6
BirdBoyz•

yah, they don't feel like they are being put in a position to succeed, especially with diaco

after the penn state game a player told me that in meetings diaco straight up told weber that if he had to play pass defense against the tight end he'd get boat raced, and didn't really have a plan except counting on penn state not throwing to their tight end

1
JohnWicksPencil•

Are they excited for Scott Frost or a new coach in general?

3
BirdBoyz•

I think they're more excited to move on from the coaching staff, most of the guys i've talked to on defense are ready to see diaco gone

HuskerPower_GBR•

Could you please remind them to wrap up when they tackle?

JohnWicksPencil•

Don't do this. Don't set expectations to the point where you'll be disappointed. It could take years to turn it around.

throwaway2342234•

I'm with you. It's a tough schedule next year, but I think this team performs a lot better if there's a little bit more fire starting off games and they get some consistency/momentum

huskerNdenver•

We will have immediate success if we get Frost and his practice regimens are like Osborne’s. T.Os practices were running plays over and over again to perfection. Former players I know on the 90s teams would say everybody complained about running plays over and over again. But it made perfection. Also, we will be much more physical.

Unconfirmed, but apparently a player in the tunnel was asked about potentially having a new coach next year and that player said we will get immediately better. That tells me the players don’t respect what Riley is doing. I expect we will be competing for the west next year. That’s how bad Riley is.

I would suspect that skipping workouts would come to an end as well.

2
NewInSphere•

Is that a real thing? Do you know details of how one gets to skip workouts?

1
iwantmoregaming•

I’m just picking up from another commenter’s “inside information”. It’s the explanation that I’m clinging to to explain why the o-line is such shit.

HCwell•

Ask me after the spring game and I'll be there with you. I think we'll get 10 every year so that won't mean much.

3
HUSKEROYALGO BIG RED•

10 may be a stretch, but I don't think it's too far fetched to think we can win 8 games. I feel we have the ability to beat all 3 of our non-conference opponents and beat Illinois, Purdue, and Minnesota. From there we have the five road games (Michigan, OSU, Wisconsin, Iowa, and NW) and the home game with Michigan State. I think we could pull off two of those six. I just want us to look like a competitive team again. I'll take 6-6 if we beat the teams we should and be competitive against the rest.

I’d say undefeated and national champs year 1. Jk I think we have the talent to win 8 or 9 all we need is motivation, preparation, and desire to win every down. In reality I could see 9 wins but would be content with 6+ year 1. Knowing how hard our schedule is.

Am I the only one that sees Scott Frost winning nine or ten games next year?

You're hitting the ethanol pretty hard if you see 9-10 wins next seasons!

I'm thinking 5-7 on the low end and 7-5 on the high side for the first year with a 2nd year that is substantially similar.

By year three I'd hope we're stroking 6-6 on the bottom and 8-4 on the high side.
