There was never going to be a third season for him. And it had nothing to do with the team’s performance. Doane went for an instant PR boost to help crank up enrollment and get its name out there and it back fired.He literally couldn't get Nebraska NAIA kids to come play for him....the ones that did left. If he would have not been fired Doane would of had to forfeit the next season because they wouldn't have had enough kids to play.
This coming from a guy who couldn't get it done coaching Doane college. Great QB--one of the best running quarterbacks ever. But as a coach or commentator, not so much.
Tommie said what most of us were feeling during, and after that game. It was an emotional response based on truth. BASED on truth. I think Scott can get it done, but i was feeling the same exact way as Tommie after the Iowa game. He is right...our players played their asses off and Scott is the reason we lost the game. I cant fault him for saying what we all felt.This coming from a guy who couldn't get it done coaching Doane college. Great QB--one of the best running quarterbacks ever.

Im also a doane alum that lives 15 min. from campus & still goes to events. The team hated him. Tommy is an arrogant sob who is all about tommy. He promised alot that he could not fulfill.There was never going to be a third season for him. And it had nothing to do with the team’s performance.

There were so many things that happened in those two years, that I’m not going to waste any more time here on it.
Oh, and I am a Doane alum, former player and coach so NM11046 is right on track with their post
You do not know him very well.Tommie said what most of us were feeling during, and after that game. It was an emotional response based on truth. BASED on truth. I think Scott can get it done, but i was feeling the same exact way as Tommie after the Iowa game. He is right...our players played their asses off and Scott is the reason we lost the game.

Edit: He also said a few weeks ago that Scott needs to think about a QB change. I completely agree with him on that. Tommie is human like us, he says what he feels. Emotions can exaggerate our thoughts a bit but at the same time their is truth to it.
At this point, I don’t see what’s proving him wrong.
I think he can say whatever he wants. But since we are on the topic about this, I’ve always felt, simply based off his tweets, there wasn’t that much excitement from Tommie when Frost became HC. It seemed as every former player overly celebrated Frosts return, he didn’t.
