Tommie blasts Frost

Admittedly, I do not pay close attention to the exact nature of Tommie's remarks, so perhaps my following comment isn't overly fair.

I don't understanding taking shots at Frazier's coaching career at Doane. The fact that he didn't have a lot of success doesn't do much to invalidate his opinion in my eyes. The dude knows football. He probably knows more about football than the vast majority of this fan base. I can certainly say he knows far more than me.

So, if he's sitting there saying things like 'I could do a better job because of X, Y and Z' then yeah... perhaps he is going too far. But, if he's just sharing his opinion as a frustrated fan, that's pretty much what all of us do. We just have the luxury of being able to do it 'anonymously.' 

 
If one is going to assign some sort of value connecting Frazier's coaching record into whether one should listen to him, then that means that Frost should eagerly await any pearls of wisdom cast by Mike Riley because Riley currently has a better record coaching at Nebraska than Scott Frost.  Mind you, I don't think that will be lasting, but it IS possible for somebody to be a crummy college football coach and still be right about some things...or be a crummy football coach and be wrong about some things.  The two aren't necessarily connected.

 
My understanding is that Tommie treated people badly at Doane, and he's obviously being loud and judgmental about people in the current Husker program, so I don't have a problem with people "bagging on Tommie" even if they ultimately agree with him. 

 
I feel that a truth can come out of anyone, irrespective of their own successes or lack thereof.  I also feel that Frazier was likely triggered more by Adrian Martinez's not living (all the way) up to hype ("Heisman dark horse," etc), much more so than his views of Scott Frost.
