If UCF hires Scott Frost, does Nebraska get money back?

[Huskers93-97]

Hey since Frost just got rehired at UCF does that offset some of his buyout 

 

[Packerhuskerfan]

We are still paying on his contract, right?

He got a lump sum, that's it. Nothing happens after that.

No, he got a lump sum.

 

[Huskers93-97]

No, he got a lump sum.

Why would we do that? Who else does that?

IDK who else does, but we seem to like to get it off the books. Riley was paid early in a lump sump also.

Yes I remember that too. Just seems odd since most drag it out so they can get some off set if or when they take another job

My mind is having a lot of trouble reconciling this.

What does it mean if he is successful at UCF again after falling flat on his face here?

Does that mean he didn't care or that our program is such a dumpster fire that it has become uncoachable?

Moos paid off Pelini in a lump sum too.

He’s going to be 12-0 by year 2 there.  Why? Because Nebraska is cursed.

I don’t think there was an offset.

There's less wind down there I think.

It means he was unprepared to take our program at the stage he did and was a too stubborn/arrogant to adapt in a timely fashion. Initially, the expectations were sky high and unrealistic. However, as seasons went on, the same problems kept repeating and the staff didn't have an answer. Additionally, there were several outside factors that negatively impacted him and the program during his tenure, most notably his father's death and Covid. In light of those events, he appeared to lose his drive and the program became stagnant. 

Therefore, it was in both parties' best interest to move on. I hope Scott has nothing but success there and we both can enjoy more success in the years ahead.
