Fire Frost. Immediately.

The expansion of the B1G may oddly work in favor of Nebraska going forward in any coaching search.

Being a member of the B1G or the SEC sets up to be the top tier among the major college football schools.

You're either in the club or you're not .

Nebraska becomes more attractive now than before the B1G expansion and the new TV deal.

Urban Meyer is not coming to Lincoln, Nebraska. There should be a filter on "Urban Meyer" like there is for profanity for this board.

I'll eat a cat food burrito the day Urban Meyer is introduced as head football coach for the University of Nebraska.

Urban and Nebraska go together like cocaine and waffles

 

[Pavlov's Dog]

replace him with Frank Solich as interim coach.
If Frank declines, bring back Bo to finish out the season.

I'll get out my asbestos suit now.

...No competent coach would have called it. It is like subconsciously he is trying to sabotage the team.

...he is resentful of the hires Alberts has forced on him. It also shows his ego will not allow him to be a team player. In my opinion, he has become...a negative distraction.

There's a LOT to chew on in yr post, and in this part, I kinda agree.

 

[NIdahohusker]

It's a reflection of what a poor leader and human being he is that he continually throws shade at players and other coaches.

Now he says there is no friction between him and Whipple. Whipple will be HC soon enough, why argue with Frost

I would suggest you wait and see, I do not believe he is the assistant head coach for no reason and Im not advocating for anyone. Anyone taking a job like that in the middle of the season would be considered TEMP

 

[MadRat]

I can tell by the interviews that Whipple has been doing his job. You can hear it in the players.

I kind of like the idea of bringing Bo back. But only for a halftime ceremony. LOL

If Frost isn't at least 3-2 after the Indiana game with the 2nd loss coming to OU, he's finished the next day. His $15 million buyout drops in half to $7.5 million on October 1st. If he's somehow 4-1 after that game, it'll be a game by game siutation as to whether he's fired or not until he's won 6 or 7. He also can't lose to Rutgers or Purdue the next 2 games after Indiana. He has to have 5 or 6 wins at that point IMO to keep his job heading into our 2nd bye week. If not Trev will cut him loose and elevate Mickey to interim HC and start his coaching search right away. That's just my prediction. I really don't want to see Frost fail but after the debacle in Dublin, I'm not sure he is the right person going forward. He pretty much has to win the next 6 or 7 games in a row (minus the OU game) to keep his job.

I really hadn't thought of the situation in these terms, until now. And it is certainly and interesting point.

I believe you are correct, and unfortunately for everyone, that means it's just a matter of time. Game to game with Frost is never going to work because he can't help himself from trying to be the smartest guy in the room. Another Dublin is hanging out there and at that point Alberts will have no choice because the sportsworld is currently talking about Nebraska for all the wrong reasons.

No way Alberts fires Frost if he's 4-1 after the Indiana game or 6-1 after the Rutgers and Purdue game heading into our 2nd bye week. JUst not gonna happen regardless of how bad he was against NW. If he's 3-2 and the only other loss is to OU. Trev still won't fire him. Frost has to be 2-3 or worse to be fired after that game.

However you are correct though. The sportsworld is talking about Nebraska for all the wrong reasons. Frost has a chance to flip that talk on it's head by winning 3 of his next 4 games.

We can hope, but call me highly skeptical at this point in time.

Horsepucky!

It was a joke dude, sheesh!

 

[Doc Fumble]

Calling that onside kick is one of the stupidest moves I have ever seen. No competent coach would have called it. It is like subconsciously he is trying to sabotage the team.

I agree it was a form of self-sabotage. He was so obsessed with losing another close game in the fourth quarter that he took a big gamble to put NW away with a trick play.

The very fact that he took that kind of high-risk gamble against NW with an 11-point lead speaks volumes about where his psyche was at.

It's over and done with now but I'm afraid it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season.

SHARP AND BENNING talking about being in shape and tackling

I think I am the only guy on this board who was against hiring Frost from the get-go. I did not think he was ready for the big stage. However, I was hoping he would grow into the role. This has not happened. In fact, he has crawled into a shell and refuses to acknowledge reality. He is like an alcoholic who refuses to admit he has a problem. Calling that onside kick is one of the stupidest moves I have ever seen. No competent coach would have called it. It is like subconsciously he is trying to sabotage the team.

It is obvious from his trying to throw the OC under the bus that he is resentful of the hires Alberts has forced on him. It also shows his ego will not allow him to be a team player. In my opinion, he has become nothing but a negative distraction.

In reality, this team is no longer Frost's team. When they ran off his hand-picked staff it became Whipple's team. It is much like when they forced Diaco on Riley. If a coach can't win with all the support Frost got, he is not a winner. It is time for the athletic department to accept this, tell him thanks for his effort and move on.

I don't beleive Frost is trying to sabatoge the team, but i believe he is a damaged coach. To me the onside kick indicates he does not have faith in himself or the team to win a close game.

Just between you and me, I bet he has a search going on now.

Fair enough.

 

[SUHnami]

I'll take that bet. If Frost gets fired after October 1st, Mickey will be the interim HC since he's the associate HC. Lets say Mickey wins the job because we start winning ball games. Will folks be happy with that? Even if he doesn't hire Mickey regardless of how he does he won't make the hire announcement until after the season.

Nope you weren't the only one. There were a few others namely Doc Holiday. However it was a small minority. The problem at the time was he just went 13-0 and won the Peach bowl against Auburn who had just beaten Alabama a few weeks before that game. So Frost was an extremely hot commodity. What if he went to Florida and struck gold and got them back to winning? We'd be kicking ourselves for not hiring him.

I for one was in favor of hiring him because he knew what it took to win at a high level because as a starting QB for Nebraska he was 24-2 as a starter and won a share of the National Title. Why wouldn't folks think he wouldn't come in and bring Nebraska out of the depths of sucktitude? Two of the three previous coaches had no clue about our tradition and history and frankly didn't care. Bo cared and he won, but his hot temper got him canned.

Losing like we did on Saturday was a bad look. Had the D played even an average game (meaning not missing so many tackles and being in position) we win that game by at least 2 TDs inspite of the horrendous onside kick. Which I agree was the absolute dumbest decision he's ever made as coach at NU.
