Nebraska keeping Scott Frost

[jgeorge322]

What talent?

Just because Nebraska was good 30 years ago doesn't mean much now their recruiting is in line with the rest of the West. Coaching isn't but Martinez is hardly a pro prospect.

I agree that their schedule is easy and they should be better ditto Miami but they do not get top players anymore. Frost doesn't bring in half the talent Harbaugh does.

Ive never been to nebraska but imagine its not great

Think about four years, your first recruiting class is redshirt juniors. Thats also probably a class that you didn’t fully develop because more than likely you were hired at the end of the recruiting cycle. Then, assume you simply miss on recruits because of bad luck. It happens. Look at JB who is a HOFer and gets top tier talent. He misses a lot too. You could be a good coach and get canned so easily because of timing.

Programs are typically cyclical. Clemson I think will be down for the next few years unless they find the next Deshaun Watson.

There is Nick Saban and Urban Meyer and then all the rest. I rather hire a guy who is willing to change with the times and is a good representative for the university. Dino checks both boxes and I do think he is slowly building towards being a consistently winning program. I think Dino’s time will peak here in about 4 more years. If were still a borderline bowl team at that point, we should start looking for a new coach. But those who wanted Dino gone this year are out of their mind.

He should have made the QB switch sooner. In the future he needs to learn that the team is more important then individual players.
Unfortunately College Football is a win business, you have to be willing to make changes Dino a number of times has waited too long.

Maybe but firing someone so the next guy can be accused of the same mistakes doesn’t get you anywhere… that’s the problem. Everyone knows exactly what to do in hindsight.

I will give them credit for their stadium which was redone in the past 10 years a Very nice facility.

I think their biggest mistake which has def hurt recruiting was leaving the Big 12. I would bet if they had to do it all over again they would stay (esp now).

Considering the $ though and Texas and Oklahoma jumping ship, who knows. It is crazy Texas and Oklahoma are going SEC. will be very interesting to see how that shakes out. Texas has struggled in the B12 for the past 10 plus years. SEC is another level.

Nebraska recruiting classes rankings out of the 14 B1G teams (according to 247sports.com):
2021-5th
2020-4th
2019-4th
2018-4th

Nebraska has consistently been ranked behind only Ohio State, Michigan and Penn St. In 2021 Nebraska was 5th while Wisconsin was 4th.

This is the only year Nebraska didn't have the best recruiting class in the B1G-West.
