Very true. We were all ecstatic with his hires. Dead on with him not really managing them when they got here. Not that an AD had to micromanage every coach’s move, but I have to wonder how things would’ve gone if Scott had an AD like Trev from the beginning.
I never said there was anything wrong with discussing him did I? All I said was its so easy to bash or talk about someone behind their back when they aren't here anymore. SF had his chance to be the driver of the bus. But he lost his job as a driver. Now you start hearing stories as to him being distracted as the bus driver and this is why he lost his job. I don't care enough to speculate as to what factors led to him losing his job. He had his chance to drive and blew it. To me it doesn't matter why he blew it, he blew it move on. It doesn't do you or me any good to speculate as to why he didn't work. The reality of the fact Scott's not here anymore period.
He has talked about it many times.
Thanks! Hopefully we’ve learned some lessons. It seems that we might have by some indications. I know too that the powers that be like to meddle and prod unrelentingly.
No I was discussing how I felt about him and the situation. If you feel differently ok cool beans
I guess this all falls into the 'be careful for what you wish for' category. On the surface we were blinded by Frost's UCF success and his link to our historic past. But in a deeper, more honest look - we should have all asked the question - is Scott, after 2 seasons at UCF, really prepared to the meat grinder called Nebraska. Perhaps Scott was the only one who could honestly answer that question. And if the job became overwhelming to him and he recognized he was over his head, it was his responsibility/choice to either - get mentors (besides T.O.) or more accomplished DC/OC to help with the load or say - this isn't me and step away. He has looked haggard for some time. He probably knew/feared this day would come a long time ago. I've been there before. I've been at a job that was over my head. The most stressful 3 years of my life. I lived the Peter Principle once. It is a relief personally when you step out of the stress pit and back into your giftedness/proper ability level.
Frost got fired for several reasons. Benning like Severe is a douche bag with an axe to grind. Incredible that people put stock in what these to idiots have to say.
That was so he could golf in the afternoons obviously!! But seriously maybe he wasn't the first guy in the building, maybe he was late a couple times. But these people are trying to make it out that he was showing up hungover and late every day and I just don't buy that.
Here's the thing though. He was the hot coach nationally at the time. There were other P5 programs that wanted him and we were all happy that he chose us over them.
