Should Scott Frost be Fired?

[LinvingProog]

Head coaching records

Bo Pelini 67-27
Bill Callahan 27-22
Mike Riley 19-19
Scott Frost 15-26

We need three straight wins against Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa to have a .500 season and be bowl eligible. And Frost needs 11 straight wins to get to .500 as head coach of Nebraska.

In my previous life I had the responsibility to evaluate and in some instances terminate sales reps. I didn't enjoy letting sales reps go, but the numbers don't lie. Frost's numbers don't lie.

Do you realize that Pelini had more wins than Callahan, Riley and Frost combined. And we hated him.

Take a breath everyone! Bad game against another good team. Another one score loss. give it a day. Maybe not this year but to burn it down when we are this close is SILLY! Step back from the cliff of irrationality!

34-10 NEBRASKA, BOOK IT! Remember this?

Frost should be fired tonight! BOOK IT!

Hey it sucks but really what can we do from a message board? We can't fire Scott, nor are we qualified to make the decision. It will get better because it can't get worse, right? Not poking anyone but am looking for crumbs of positivity to build from. At some point we will look back and feel good about the journey back.

A journey into mediocrity.

Strangely, a journey into mediocrity doesn't sound too bad right now.

Should Martinez be the starting QB the rest of the season? My thought is no. Time to move on from the Martinez experiment.

I agree Proog, but I hope this board doesn't turn to personal attacks on Martinez. We all agree he is a quality human being. A really nice respectful young man. This problem is 100% on Scott Frost. No athlete worth their salt is going to tell a coach "I'm not doing very well, put someone else in."
Frost is responsible for marching Martinez out there over and over even when he is clearly struggling. Thank you for your time and effort Adrian, but I think it's time to make a change.

I'm not sure we've seen any of our players at their best My suspicion is that under different coaches, all of these guys would be much different players

Page 3 of this thread has Linving and kfr going back to back to back . This day hasn't been all bad.

If you don't have a financial stake, keep it in your drafts folder.

We ALL have a financial stake in this. Sure, I am not a big money donor, but I buy jerseys, I go to home games on occasion, and I am an alumnus ?alumni? (which is singular and which is plural?) of the University. My stake in this may not be big money financial, but it is emotional and personal-- which are just as valid as anyone putting $$$$s down. To minimize people's care/concern about the direction of this program based on the depth of our pocketbook is about as classist as it gets.

Dear Trev Alberts,

I am but a humble Nebraska fan of 30 plus years and though I might not be a big time booster, I have attended games in the past, bought tickets, bought merchandise and spent what is probably not considered a large sum of money or a large financial stake in the University of Nebraska football program but it has been an investment to me. However, the recent performance by football head coach Scott Frost has been less than adequate and as a small time investor into the University of Nebraska football team I have not received an adequate return on my financial investment. Please consider relieving head coach Scott Frost of his duties, I no longer feel that my small financial investment is worth spending on the football program. Until Scott Frost is relieved of his duties my investments, both financial and otherwise are hereby ceased.

Thank you

Well stated. Short, sweet and to the point.

Technically, it all depends on your definition of 'big money.' I'm a season ticket-holder and, as far as I'm concerned, THAT price tag is big money.

And even though I'm a big fan, the current state of the program and the allure of my high-def TV has me questioning whether keeping my tickets again next season is really worth it.

The word you are looking for is "alluminati."

This team is going to finish 3-9 - no way should Frost be the head coach if that is the case. I am confident Trev will be given the go ahead to fire Frost. Moos leaving and Trev coming in was a set-up to allow this to happen.

What AM2 does is a secondary concern - my guess is we'll see a bunch of players leave including AM2 plus we have a big senior class but so what - the transfer portal makes that a mute point IMHO> I don't expect a 1 year fix but the right coach can get this on track Year 2.

I'd like to think it can't get any worse but we haven't had a winless season yet. That's my fear with retaining Frost for another year

 

[MRJFB]

I think, Jimbo, that AM going elsewhere would be a good decision all the way around. For him a fresh start and maybe a coach that can get in his head.

3 wins and really only two FBS teams. Both of those teams were rebuilding. The third a last min. FCS team nobody heard of. Pathetic

No worries U. With North Dakota and Georgia Southern on the schedule next year I feel reasonably comfortable we put 2 in the win column. Not guaranteed, but reasonably comfortable.

Here is what I just sent to Trev Alberts...

NUAD Trev Alberts,

I am a lifelong Husker fan and the performance of Nebraska against Purdue, combined with what we have witnessed since Coach Frost was hired, is untenable.

We are three games away from completing Frost's 4th year as Head Coach and we are looking at four consecutive losing seasons under his watch.

I wanted (still do) Frost to succeed, but that ship has sailed and a change needs to be made, tonight.

Name Eric Chinander (or someone) as Interim HC now, and start the process for finding a new HC. Nebraska has the money for a buyout, so don't use the "we can't 'afford' to fire Frost" as an excuse.

Mr. Alberts, I do not send this email frivolously. The sad truth, this program we all love so much, is floundering under such incompetent coaching, mostly on the offensive and special teams side. Yes the defense has its problems, but those problems could be greatly minimized by a competent offense and special teams return game. I won't mention field goal kicking as it appears the change made was effective--for now.

I am not a big money booster, I don't have deep pockets, but I do know bad football when I see it. It pains me to say this, but Coach Frost needs to be fired tonight. This is not the outcome I wanted, but this is the reality. Coach Frost cannot get it done and it is time to try and find someone who can. Maybe give Matt Campbell from Iowa State or Luke Fickell from Cinncinnati a call? I don't know who you should hire, but I do know that continuing with Frost at the helm is untenable and should not continue.
