-When Frost was hired, we thought we had solved all our issues and we would be fixed. We were wrong. But that doesn’t mean that “if he can’t do it, who can?” -That is such a sad way to live and one that is simply not true. No one person is the answer for a program and the only way to win -You don’t think someone out there can get Nebraska to 6 wins? The standard is as low as it’s ever been.
