First off, I've never been an undefeated college coach and secondly, I'm retired. But I drove that route back in February and it sure sucks.
Ready or not.... baggage and all.....
- Thread starter Doc Holiday
- Start date
If you get cocky and full of yourself, refuse to put in the work, show up late if at all, refuse to listen, adapt, change, or evolve, and value drinking with buddies more than the job your State trusted you with and paid you millions of dollars to do, these results were entirely predictable.
The only mystery is why Frost's enablers put up with his BS for as long as they did.
I'm guessing a gigantic ego and a crap load of money brought out the worst of traits in Frost.
I was mentioned in the Cornell Daily Sun at least 4 times. Maybe 5.
Except for the time he was hiding in the closet while LP took his day out on Scott's girl. Clearly his ego was in cheque that night. That one incident should have been fair warning that maybe Scott doesn't have what it takes to be a leader of men.

I'm frequently in the Grand Island Independent. I write great above the fold editorials.
I am thinking Frost’s “no fear of failure” culture was counter to a good discipline culture
P J Fleck would be able to turn this show around, at least discipline wise. Would be competitive but maybe never NC level. Not sure MJ is oratically gifted enough to inspire the change we need. Honestly, I like him but he's just not inspirational. UM is P J Fleck on steroids.
I, on the other hand, am not fond of Fleck. I have said all along though, he's an effective coach. Minny will never be easy as long as he's there imo.
Imo how a coach can founder at one place, and shine at another, is always a mystery. It just shows how hard it is to get the right fit for your needs at almost any place. Trev has a tall order coming up. I hope he is up to the task.
MJ has a tall order. I'm not sure Nick Saban could take over this mess and win more than three remaining games. Northwestern has lost to Miami of Ohio and Southern Illinois. Georgia Southern lost by two touchdowns to UAB. I'm sure you all saw K-State handle OU last night.
We are supporting a really bad team right now, and MJ won't get the gaudy record he'd need to jump to the front of the prospect line.
But I hope the new coach is open-minded and smart enough to extend a job offer to MJ as a top assistant. The players love him, he's an elite recruiter from the deep South, and he loves Nebraska enough to stay until he gets an offer he can't refuse. I think one day he will get that offer, but Nebraska could benefit greatly from his services for a few more years.

NO MORE CORN HUSKERS......If he sticks around for the next HC thats great but you have to have rocks in your head, (Not you Huusker) to want to take another chance on alumni. Nope there are too many good choices that will be available at the end of this year. We need someone with a resume as HC
I think you missed my point. That probably means I didn't do a good job of making it.
Other schools will be after MJ soon enough. My point is he won't leave Nebraska for just any old job because he loves the place. I think he'll stay until the right job comes along.
In no way am I saying coaches need to have played at Nebraska in order to be considered.
