Frost Fired!

[NoLongerN]

I respect the hell out of this.  It was due a couple of years ago.

 

[Red Five]

Only if Scott agreed to it. That’s not how contracts work.

Thats why I said negotiated.

 

[The Dude]

The $7.5m was never a great excuse.  Big hats off to AD Trev Alberts for recognizing his mistake and moving towards correcting it!

 

[Decoy73]

Who knows maybe Frost fell on his sword and agreed not to drag it out two + weeks

I could see him doing this.  I really hope there’s no animosity. 

 

[JJ Husker]

Enter Craig Bohl 

Hell to the no.

I was at the 2001 debacle in Boulder.

 

[The Duke]

Spot on. I hope  fans think better of running him and his tenure into the ground. 

For everything that Scott did for this program as a player, he and his family should always be welcome in Lincoln.

 

[RedDenver]

It's the right move, but I'm still shocked it happened before October 1st.

I had confidence in Trev before this but keeping Frost another year only to fire him a few weeks before the reduced buyout is absolute idiocy. I have little faith that Trev can turn this around now.

Trev screwed this up big time.  I think it was obvious to many that Frost was not the right guy last year.  Why restructure his contract and keep him around only to fire him before October 1.  We essentially lost an opportunity to bring someone new in this past offseason which would have given this whole season a different look and feel.  Instead we are now left with another lost season of Husker football and it's only Week 3.

Either fire Frost last year or wait for the Oct 1 buyout.

Tommie Frazier then?

 

[talaricohusker]

Trev better swing for the fence with his hire or we will all be disappointed and he’ll be gone too

They have to have someone on deck. 

Makes no sense to do this now and lose the money. Wonder if he will stand up there like Mike Riley and field questions

I hope they don’t have someone already because I fear it isn’t someone huge like urban or stoops

 

[Husker03]

Urban or Stoops would be about the only ones they could have already.....

 

[Head Coach Scott Frost]

Ok from firing Bo one year into a seven year contract to giving a secret extension to Mike Riley to not waiting a month to fire Frost - Can we please stop burning money.

 

[JJ Husker]

Thats why I said negotiated.

And I said what I said because it’s pretty unreasonable to expect anyone to willingly give up $7.5M they are entitled to. If he did, some will down play it like it was the right thing to do and, if he didn’t, some will stupidly hold it against him. It would be a huge act of charity by Frost if he took less than was owed regardless his performance.

Urban or Stoops would be about the only ones they could have already.....

Nobody is going to be hired until December. If Mickey pulls a Dabo and turns a season around, he makes himself a serious candidate. Otherwise, it’s talk to current coaches thru their agents for the new 2+ months.

Honestly hope you are right.  Neither will be here long but I think they could right the ship.  And hopefully bring someone with them that can then continue it.   I think asking for 8-10 wins each year isn’t over reaching for this program.  Compete for the west and win it every now and then.  This is realistic I think.
