After a while there's really only so much of the same questions and awkward one-word responses he can give.
Sucks big time for them, I guess the only bright spot is that it happened before the season so they can take a medical shirt
Reading the transcript of Frost's media day, multiple times he mentioned the challenge of having 33 new transfers & scholarship players and creating the "one team" culture he wants. Sounds like he's pretty concerned about that.
"Coach, we noticed your wife moved back to Lincoln after her lawyer told her that if she divorces you before any buyout you might get she'd be fucked, that coupled with the child support to the 18 year old beer cart chick you knocked up pretty much nullifies any financial benefit there was by coming home to coach at nebraska. Have you considered trying to get 50/50 custody of the kid to ease the burden of those payments, or will your wife not let the kid in the house?"
Both hurt in different ways. The WR is already pretty thin, but I don't think anyone was expecting Ritter to do a lot. Britt hurts. He has been up and down, but he is someone that was in the running to start. Luckily, we have good depth at the OL, but that room remains my biggest worry. By far.
OL is not worse than last year by a long ways. They'll be ok.
Hope you are right. It never seemed like Polasek was a good fit. Not that great of a teacher compared to our other coaches. The OL has got to be a lot better if this dreadful O has any hope of becoming average.
Had the unfortunate opportunity to be within a few feet of Polasek when he was coaching at Iowa. Was during the last 2 spring games, the guy is an absolute fucking tool. Total Napoleon complex with no control over himself. He's a little humpty dumpty looking guy who did nothing but fly into hysterical rages non-stop, did the whole grab a guy's jersey and scream through his facemask for 30 seconds at the top of his lungs and 8 out of 10 words was motherfucker. When he'd get done screaming he'd walk away and all you saw was players muttering under their breath and rolling their eyes. You could tell he was in over his head and his guys hated him. Not the way to coach kids.
Dang.... I'd heard a podcast with the Washed up Walkons awhile ago and they had Wirfs on. He talked about having had Polasek down to Tampa to visit him at his place and just hang out since he's been there. He must not have been all bad or why would Wirfs of all people stay friendly with him? It didn't seem like there was much bad blood with him having left or anything. Granted Wirfs woulda been the top of the totem pole and probably not picked on like that.
I saw it at the 2 spring practices I was at and it was guys who weren’t on the depth chart. There’s different schools of coaches but he definitely was getting bad vibes from players. Like you said there’s not much of that a guy is going to do to a Wirfs type since Wirfs was better as a freshman than Polasek ever dreamed of being.
I hope Martinez throws for 25,000 yds and 75 touchdowns.
That is a lot of transfers to work into your "culture". You combine that with the players that were already there and, if they get passed by these transfers, that could throw that culture out the window. I don't know the exact numbers but when you have as many leave your program as they did, that can't be a good sign.
