Scott Frost - a very rich unemployed person

[Royalfan5 2348]

I hope NU will call the winningest head coach born in Lincoln, one Lane Kiffin, and see what he has to say.

Almost certainly how it happened.

I don’t think that’s an Alberts-Frost discussion. He just says, “we’re letting you go now”. Conversations have either already occurred between his camp and Nebraska, or more likely will be occurring now. $7.5 million is nothing for them or any big school, especially when compared to the National laughingstock they are. Michigan and Tennessee never fell this far. We never came close. When you think it couldn’t get worse under Strong or Sark last year, it most definitely can. Much harder at Texas just due to the athletes Texas HSFB puts out, but it can be worse.

Carolina loses to Cleveland today and look for Matt Rhule to be on the short list for Nebraska.

No way that happens people with money like money. They could let him know hey we're starting official search whether you leave or not. As sucky a coach as he's been, he's still a Nebraska alum.

No one's paying him 7.5M when they could just as easily say we're paying you but don't come to work until Oct 1st.

[Reese Bennett 3605]

Nebraska's a terrible job. Unrealistic expectations, no recruiting base, and you have to live in Nebraska.

I don’t know and I don’t care. It’s sad to see how truly bad they are and I can’t stand them or Casey. This clearly is an all hands on deck, urgent moment, and the evidence is glaringly clear Frost cannot lead the program for 1 more day. Money is money and this isn’t that much.

no way Campbell, Klieman, or Aranda go to that stinking pile of shit

they all 3 have jobs where they are easily safe for the next 4 years and if they do as well or better than they have done they will have 10X the opportunities to move on if they even want to

Nebraska is about as shitty as Kansas after Mangino right now with little to suggest they climb out of it.....much less with USC and even UCLA coming in to fuck them up every year

Shocked at only the timing.   My understanding is that Nebraska’s athletic department isn’t exactly making a lot of money so I thought they would wait until the buyout dropped. 

Some old farmers pr something probably chipped up and said do it.

Ironically, they would be better. He might prove to be Mike Singletary, but he’s a smart dude and no way their D would be that bad. 

I think Nebraska is a really tough job, but there is zero reason why they shouldn’t be a .500 team on average. 

[Newy25 7638]

I was about to say for most of the coaches on that list, Nebraska is a downgrade. Those guys have higher aspirations now. 

[Guest]

Alberts won’t be hurt by this directly. He’s too new on the scene. His fate as AD will be solely dictated by this next hire. Indirectly, he’s fucked, because it’ll be difficult to win over fans without a quick turnaround above .500 ball and that’ll be tough with a talentless roster. See Sark in ‘21, but with much, much less talent.

Agreed.  They are in desperation mode.  They’ve sucked for a good long time and NU is a hard place to recruit for right now.  Makes you wonder if they are set up for a Jimbo type hire.  Way overpaying on a way too long contract for a guy they see as a sure thing.

Why would he agree to any decrease of the contracted buyout? He can hold on for three weeks, knowing he's dumped, for $7.5M. That's a lot of scratch.

They probably gave him an option. Get lowered buyout the easy way or the full settlement the hard way. (Years of lawsuits). Everyone has a number

I get everyone's argument regarding NU being a shit job.  They are well supported arguments and logical.  That said, I stupidly expect NU to get a solid hire.  Conference realignment has made B1G jobs even more attractive, NU has out-recruited the West even while sucking, it's still a big brand, they have money, and they have a $160M dollar facility upgrade scheduled to be completed next year.  The right coach could do pretty well there.  Currently nobody in Nebraska expects to be competing for championships.  Competing for the division would be enough for awhile.  

It's silly season and I choose to be naively optimistic.  I have lived through the Callahan and Riley hires so I'm aware of how this will likely go.

Don't plunge the knife in too deep, there. 

Gonna confess, I feel a little bad for Frost. He won Nebraska's last national championship as a QB, and 25 years later, the student section, none of whom were even born in his glory days, were chanting to fire him. 

BTW, I may be looking for a new reporting job. My publisher is an Alabama Crimson Tide and Minnesota Vikings fan. He told me the hit on Ewers was a clean hit. I told him Pearson didn't push off. We'll see what happens.
