This statement from Frost's dad doesn't surprise me at all. They are a very "entitled" family. I could give several personal examples.
Two things. . .Scott wasn't offered the OC for obvious reasons but he's been offered a fair position and plenty of opportunity. This will probably be his last chance to come back unless its many years down the line. There is a thought among the department and boosters that Frost would come here work his way up to OC and then possibly be Bo's replacement some day. Frost has worked or played for some of the best coaches in the business in both college and the NFL. He'll be a very hot name in 2-3 years no matter where he coaches. But really only one path gets him to his goal of being the head coach at UNL. He just has to be humble in this instance. If he does he'll have a chance to learn from one of the best defensive minds and well as one of the better offensive minds out there in EW. Remember some people are meant to be coordinators and not the head cheese. EW is one of those guys.
I think a lot of progress was made yesterday afternoon. They'll be more today. I also think its interesting how the story is getting covered. Its a very different tone at the Journal Star then at the OWH. And the latter is trying to spoon feed ESPN. Don't be surprised in spring ball and next fall at the difference in access between the two papers. The owh has been told as much and they're pissed. They need to remember it works both ways. They want Bo to play nice...maybe they should try the same.
Like I've said, Frost has a great job, he likes it in Eugene, and it'll take a tremendous offer from Nebraska to get him. That said, I'm still maintaining a sliver of hope that it happens.
As far as the OWH and LJS, the OWH is pretty clearly pushing their own agendas. Shatel not so much, from what I've seen, but Chatelain is making things personal. Sherman just seems to be doing his job, I haven't seen any articles of his that I thought were out of line, just that awful one by Chatty on Charles Jackson.
I don't think the LJS is about maintaining a company line, I think they just have a better understanding of their role. At the end of the day, the sports page is entertainment, and they're primarily covering 18-21 year old kids, and I think those guys simply have a better understanding of what that should entail than Chatelain, who's acting like he's some daring journalist fighting back against the tyranny of Bo.
I also think this comes down to individual journalists more than OWH vs LJS. When it comes to access during the spring, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chatty get shunned, but I don't imagine Shatel getting less access.
just a joke people, frost will come here if the money and chance for advancement is better than at oregon. if NU cant make a better offer, then im afraid frost is a duck.
