Frost Fired!

[gorp512]

Yep. This is something only people in a leadership position could truly understand.

Alberts seems to have listened to boosters last year to keep Frost and listened to them today to let him go.

What a waste of a season.

Unfortunately if Chinander is still here I don’t see how this changes anything for this season and so why blow the 7 mil?

To you Husker fans,

Coming in here as an Ohio State fan, I have to say - you guys gave us a battle every time. At the end of the day, Nebraska has to get more "good players" - recruiting is the difference, you guys need a staff that can recruit as well as coach. Stay strong, at some point Nebraska will be back - it just won't be this season.

I can only see 3 reasons for Trev to have fired Frost now:

1. Trev is helping Frost collect an extra $7.5 million since he's planning to fire him anyways
   
2. Trev has a coach ready to take over that cannot wait another 3 weeks
   
3. Trev is incompetent
   

I'd add to the list he doesn't make this move if he wasn't feeling some sort pressure from somewhere.  Probably add it to the top of the list.

I want Coach Mickey to do good but he won’t get different results this year without a defense!  Chin and his assistants need to be replaced- Chin now!!!!!!

we generally do week enough to win in the offense but the defense generally never does.  We need ball control with long drives and the defense get several three & outs for a good team.

I can’t see six days turning this dead team into a competitor for Oklahoma.  
 

Oklahoma 77. Nebraska 3

Is it likely that NU is going to beat OU?  No it isn't.  However, keeping Frost around any longer and him getting any more wins (even if unlikely) would have put more doubt into the fans' thoughts about the decision.  Trev saw enough last year, but he had to let the boosters see for themselves that Frost needed to be fired.

This is the winner. If you think Alberts is incompetent than you don’t know that he wanted to pull the trigger last year and others didn’t. Now they are convinced.

1 - That would be swell for Frost but dereliction of duty by Trev

2 - There is really no way this work.

3 - I feel this is the leader in the clubhouse.

Trev is incompetent for firing Scott frost? Just trying to understand.

 

[ColoradoHusk]

Wow, nobody loves b!^@hing about other people's money like NU fans.

Fire Frost!!!  But, wait 3 weeks to save $7 million.

 

[Mavric]

Maybe we didn't let Helton get on the plane...

 

[DefenderAO]

Trev Alberts is likely in damage control mode for his own job. 

How, if he's being told to not fire Scott yet?

Unfortunately if Chinander is still here I don’t see how this changes anything for this season ..

My thoughts, and fears, too.

 

[Dansker]

What a waste of a season. 

It hurts right now. The reality of it is we can still have a winning season. It’s going to take everything we’ve got. We’re going to find out real quick over the next two weeks what we’ve got with Mickey.

Of booster money.

I'm sure that's the case but not being able to convince the pressure that it's worth a few weeks of waiting is on Trev.

No, Trev is incompetent for firing Frost at this point in time. He should have either done it after last season or waited 3 weeks for Frost's buyout to be reduced by $7.5 million.
