ya know, we should just let bygones be bygones when it comes to frosty as a coach. Its not like he came here and purposely failed, just wasn't cut out for the job and im sure theres things that coulda been done differently by the university to put him in a better position of success. Guy had his dream job and basically failed in the spotlight, the guilt/weight of that must be immense. He's still a title winning qb for us and will always be a husker.
Well, there's 42 bowl games, so the top 84 coaches are already coaching their own teams in bowls, so you have to go pretty far down the list to find someone available. (I'm assuming that a coach wouldn't/couldn't coach both)

Really? He was given a longer leash than anyone in the country? He had resources that some coaches dream about.
There is no doubt that as a player, he is important in the history of Nebraska football. As a coach, he almost wiped that completely away with the way his tenure went. I am sure over time fans will move on, but he set this program back even further than when he took over for HCMR.

Frost didn't win enough and that was the problem. But he took over a program that had a poor culture and changed that. I think the fact that 20 guys didn't enter the portal the next week and instead played for each other and the coaches that remained says a lot. The kids played hard ever game and always to the last play. You didn't see that from other teams who were in similar situations. MR even alluded that Frost had that going in the right direction.

Frost changed the culture from a train wreck to the Titanic 2.0. He was more interested in partying around campus than developing the team into men and better football players.
Frost was able to take in good recruiting classes, which could've been better had he not been hung over to call some kids back in a timely fashion, improve them none, and lose to lesser talented teams. I put zero stock into cream puff MR's opinion on any direction he felt Scott was moving...
Him not winning is an effect, not cause.

Good to see that Frost's staff is still blaming Riley for their failures
Sometimes the same coach who thrives in one transition flops in the next. In December 2015, Scott Frost took over a UCF team that went 0-12 before he arrived in Orlando. In his debut season, the Knights made a bowl game. In his second year, they went 13-0 and finished No. 6. Then he left for his alma mater, Nebraska.
Frost didn’t achieve one winning season in five years with the Huskers, going 16-31. His predecessor, Mike Riley, finished 19-19.
Two of Frost’s assistants, who were with him at both schools and were granted anonymity to speak candidly about their experiences, said the opposing personalities they followed played a factor. “At UCF, we were following George O’Leary, who was a real (hard-a$$),” said one assistant. “(At Nebraska), we were following Mike Riley, who was a nice guy, and so it was like a fire that we never put out.”
The other assistant concurred. “At UCF, they just wanted people to love them up and make football fun again,” he said. “Those kids wanted to be great. They just wanted to be loved and understood. We were a young staff. We’d play noon basketball. Frost would be playing too, and the players were jumping into it with us. Practices were short and fun. We coached off emotion.
“At Nebraska, I think they’d been chasing (recruiting) stars … and we (ended up) letting more things go.”
That lack of accountability seemed to be the Huskers’ undoing, as they lost a stunning amount of tight games.
(Also I saw The Athletic is running a $1/month for a year Opening Day special. Well worth it, not just for the Husker/CFB coverage, but for all sports IMO)
