The reason for your rumor was UL and how he got hurt. I think he didn’t like Gus from the start. He was going to transfer when Lebby didn’t get the job but stayed. He was leaving if he got injured or not in Louisville. Everything else was fuel to fire.
What is there to gain by going to Nebraska? I would assume he wants to go to a team that has a chance to win, and possibly get into the playoffs.
They were in quite a few games. Just needed good QB play to win them. They aren’t that far away from winning.
Caleb Williams is no slouch lol
NIL sales, HUGE named school, national recognition, higher draft pick maybe, Heisman maybe. IMHO
Sure, it we are ok with maxing out at 8 or 9 wins a season.
Martinez IS a good quarterback. Maybe not a great one, but he is a good quarterback.
A winning record and being at the top of the B1G is not the same. I don't see them with enough talent to compete for the B1G title. Nothing against Frost it's been that way since they joined the B1G.
Spot on! Why would Lebby bench his starting stud QB with several years left for a 1 in out QB. Although looking at history Oklahoma has lived off of QB transfers for several years prior to this year.
Everything about this is wrong, He's not a good QB. Nebraska set an all-time record for single digit losses in a season, and in about half of those losses they were done in by late Martinez mistake. An above average QB wins 8 games pretty easily for Nebraska this year.
So, if for 4 years straight a coach starts a QB who is not even good, do you really want to say that the only problem is with the qb? I think your premise is a little shaky. What about a coach who would put him out there for 4 years if that were the case?
Absolutely he kept a bad QB on the field for 4 years. He thought he was the QB whisperer after he found Milton. Martinez was his guy from day one in Lincoln, and he was going to live or die with that guy, and while his job is not dead it’s definitely on life support. Frost definitely deserves all the blame for not finding anybody to challenge Martinez at QB during his tenure.
I agree with you that Martinez made a number of mistakes, some of them big ones this year. But I say that he was a good qb, not regarding the outcomes, but in terms of his physical talent and how he was generally capable of using it on the field. Again, I don't feel like he was great, and not even to a level of being" very good", but I will grade him as "good" based on talent and the fact that he got them to within one score games in so many Big 10 contests. I don't think an average qb can achieve that in such a competitive conference.
I’m willing to bet he is donating quite a bit to them too. The whole family are boosters.
Regardless of what I was told of his impetus to leave (which I‘ve heard several times from different sources), many brushed off whispers I heard of his departure as nothing more than fabricated belches from the Tijuana Flats rumor mill. Yet a week later, DG’s official announcement came. lol
Yes that’s true. I think he knew before he got hurt he wasn’t feeling the new staff. But yes a week or so after.
do u have info we don’t bc I’m sure he has options. He visited Ole Miss last weekend
Can't imagine a QB that was ranked in the top 20 for his Freshman and Sophomore seasons isn't getting recruited by programs all over the country.
I didn't think he would sell out.....and he did. I thought...no way does he leave.
could also watch the tape and think he is a system QB. not many offenses go that fast like the one read Heupel Air Raid . arm talent is there though , interested in how many offers he has or will get
There is coaches that will adapt to the talent available. Won't change completely, but also will alter the playbook for the strength of a key player.
Maybe but why do they need one bad? Kelly not recruiting one? Every QB transferred out?
Same. I didn’t want to believe it, I really thought he genuinely liked it here. But, snakey sock salesman that he is had us all fooled.I didn't think he would sell out.....and he did. I thought...no way does he leave.
