You're out of line. If you didn't understand me at first (and I can own some of that for writing a short post), you certainly do by now, but you've still opted to insult me personally. That's board pollution.
1. CDog did NOT insult you, personally or otherwise.
2. Your point about "hiring Frost too late is moot. None of us had any hand in the hiring decision and those that did opted to hire other people.
3. However, to this point of "hiring Frost too late" you are failing to understand one thing: It wasn't a given that even if Eichorst or Perlman had wanted to hire Frost, that he would have said yes.
Go back and listen to the interviews Frost gave at the time AD Moos hired him and subsequently...
He mentioned several times that just because the HC position at Nebraska was open there was no guarantee he'd take it if offered. He mentioned multiple times that he wanted to make sure the leadership at the university was right.
Listen to what Frost says in those interviews and listen for the subtext, which is: Frost would have absolutely told Perlman and Eichorst no on any offer. You better believe that Tom Osborne was in Frost's ear and it was TO who basically convinced Frost that the right leadership (Moos, Bounds, Green) was in place.
Further, Frost was only going to come back if he got the kind of long term deal he wanted. Plus, there were rumors that Perlman was really the one making the decisions on which coaches to hire. Also, after Pelini was fired, there were additional rumors that Perlman and Eichorst wanted to dictate to Frost the assistant coaches he hired. No idea if that is true, but it sounds like a tactic Perlman would try. Rumors are that Perlman was the one who told Eichorst to make sure Diaco was hired.
