As long as they win it was smart. Media are scared little babies, calling them out will make them think twice before writing unsubstantiated articles without any empirical merit. Now by year four is they are still losing half their games the media will jump on him and use his demise for sales. It is very hard because Scott has been successful at many places and our media sorts are hacks who do not have to compete, many haven't been in bigger markets, and they have no consequences for being poor, while Scott has a million consequences for his players not executing.

So ask your grandmother. Was it dumb to call the swing pass to Mo when he scored the long TD against Colorado? Was it dumb to hand to Wandale first and goal from the 1, when he scored the previous drive. Or only when it doesn’t work?
I was thinking the exact same thing.....I hope he held the same view of Pelini as he does for Frost.
In his defense, the swing pass against Colorado wasn't from their own end zone. I'd probably agree with him on it being called from one's own end zone or deep in one's territory....I still remember seeing Jack Squirek of the Raiders picking off Thiesman's swing pass to Joe Washington and galloping all of 12 yards into the end zone in Super Bowl XVIII.
Actually...I think this team COULD use a little “us vs the world” right now. Its exactly what this team needs. Just not the ss bunker mentality of extreme bo took it to.
There is zero chip on our shoulder and it shows.
Yeah Im tired of this “theyre human” ********.
If theyre human it means they can be biased and need to be held accountable.
And it means as humans they need to be called out for mistakes and learn from them immediately.
Surely you arent equating scotts presser to the ones pelini was known for, are you?
Do you think pelini was fired because of “that” (singular) quote???
Yeah I can see that side of it too. US vs the world is fine as long as it isn't directed towards the fans. We are all in this together.
I have no problem with his approach. There were many times TO called out people in the media, met with them 1:1 to tell them to basically shut up, or completely restrict access for some. Scott is taking them to task, just like a leader should. Not calling people names, not being passive aggressive, simply telling them how it is. It's his program. He gets to call the shots. Just like a boss should.
So....no Illinois player picked it up? Is that what you're sticking with? OK....
You know how to avoid such situations? That would be to not fumble. Don't blame the officials for a situation that the players put themselves in.
Just out of curiosity....why would the refs be biased against a team that's done nothing in the last 20 years, and favor a team that's done even less?
And....why does a referee need to be called out and held accountable to you when you aren't called out in public and held accountable for anything you do on your side job (you do know that being a college ref isn't a full time job, right)?
Referees are there to officiate a game played by 18-23 year old boys/young men. They aren't elected officials. You don't pay their salary...therefore, they aren't accountable to you or any other fan of any team. They are accountable to the conference, and no one else.

you're missing the point, when you have won 6 national titles people don’t care if you are salty with the media. That sort of stuff is earned.
Secondly, Frost was asked about play calling on the Monday after the game presser. He replied with, I don’t want to talk about last week.
Ok, I'm reading all this crap, and certain things come to mind.
Who needs a whistle? Lets just keep digging every play,regardless of whistle.
We are atop the best conferences in cfb, shoddy refs? Really? When the networks jump in, is that when it'll change?
Bo? Forget Bo, let him struggle where he belongs.
In a family, it is us against the world, some fans jst dont get it, and seperates Bo's ideas from SF's, and if you can't figure that out, move to ohio.

Coach Frost said that call at 1st and goal was a mistake and he screwed up. I'm good with his explanation
I’m going to wait and see what Harry Carry’s grandma thinks. She seems very knowledgeable
