That new turf and the red lettering look very sharp and vibrant on TV

Do you like the thinner end zone letters?

Not sure that will be of much help when he calls it quits in year 2 or 3.

He was only at Utah for that amount of time.

Why would Urban want to do a rebuild though?  He walked into a ready made roster at Ohio State and added to it. NU’s roster is a complete mess right now. 

It is, but a coach like Urban is playing with a different deck. He already would have a QB in Purdy. I'm in favor of a complete tear down, but there is no way Urban is not bringing players that would make a difference immediately.

Makes these takes that Urban Meyer (or any coach) is simply going to come in a win right away pretty hollow.

Urban would likely attract top talent immediately, though.

Would NU be selling its soul if they hired Urban?  Or maybe that's too strong of a statement....seeing a lot of Twitter Husker fans saying they don't want him.

Have my soul and you can remove it through my eyes

We aren't this bad, but we still aren't good. 

They were smoked by Georgia Southern, their coach was fired, one of the ADs is on the radio telling people they suck, a literal circus comes to town, and here comes the #6 team in the country. 

Where in all of this are conditions conducive to even competing today, let alone winning? 

Feelings about Urban aside, one of the greatest college football coaches of all time is unemployed by a school and in your town today. Is Trev as speaking to him at all? Just to say he did? 

Someone is going to get hurt

Yes, they all need to go.  However, nobody but Frost is responsible for Frost's behavior.   The more that comes to light the better.

Oh, I totally agree with that. 

You just want it to truly come to light. If the head coach had sex with a cheerleader (as THE ASSISTANT AD IS SAYING!!!) that warrants legit investigation and journalism. 

The "you wouldn't be able to handle the truth" holier than thou mindset of the Husker media incubates behaviors like this into being.

Bigger part of the problem than Frost?  Hilarious.

Frost was clearly not the only member of the Boys Club that Stai is in. You can fire Frost, but as long as Stai, Davison, and this mindset is around, it doesn't matter. 

Ironically, it doesn't seem like Mickey is in the club

Don't shoot the messenger.   Frost is the bad guy here.

Is he? He's apparently unplugged in Coeur d'Alene Idaho minding his business waiting for a 15 million dollar check to clear. While this meathead is telling some Facebook streamers that the former Emperor of the Plains boned an undergrad 48 hours into his tenure and kicking dirt on the student athletes that HE serves. He's not the messenger, he's a moron that is a bigger part of the problem than Frost. 

Good thing we have two coaches for the DBs now

And is the media just going to close their ears to the fact that this assistant AD is caught on a hot mic claiming that Frost slept with a cheerleader 2 days after he was hired?

Yeah because both of these guys really aren't that good. Some talented transfers came in and they couldn't really compete with them (at least in Yant's case).

All valid, but this is not something to be discussing with some podcast hosts

Burn it down. 

This clown has the self awareness of an old ketchup packet. No unity of message across the upper management of athletics. No integrity. Wanting to look cool on a podcast. Should be above this. Not the disclosure, but the asinine egocentrism that doesn't make him realize he's in front of a microphone and the format of the show. 

Pack his stuff for him and leave it on the curb. 

Burn it down

This article from December 2021 says no, he does not have an agent

That's what I thought. I love this guy more and more with every tidbit. He seems like what Frost wanted to be. Will be be afforded the same solitude in Lincoln? Probably not, but worth a shot.

Word is Matt Campbell won't talk to any other school until after their regular season.

Does he not have an agent and represents himself?

Nitpicking but it wasn't a ruling, Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth O. Gau concluded the requested document could be lawfully withheld under the state’s public records statutes. USAToday is suing for disclosure of the full contract.

Is the lawsuit for the contract new? 

This would clearly blow the roof off of any concealing they are trying to do

I'm not, so no ethics violated on my side.

 

Edit: And I understand your point.  I'm not qualified to have suggested it.  it was completely stupid for me to have.  I'll leave this topic alone.    

No worries. I think it's fair to discuss that he was performing what is the most visible and high profile job in the state while impaired. That is obvious to anyone watching. By what? Who knows, but the media seems to and that is there the disconnect seems to exist. 

Everyone here cares about the Huskers. Scott Frost cares about the Huskers. It has been clear from before he even took the job that the weight of the situation was always on his mind. Add in the immense success at UCF, his personal losses, and whatever he has going on, and it has been a recipe for what happened. 

This idea that Scott is a careless snake oil salesman with no self awareness is wrong to him and to the brand that is Husker football. One wonders if they did Scott a favor by letting him go when they did so he could have the full buyout. Even if 25 percent of the rumors are true, they would seemingly have cause to terminate him.

I don't have a problem posting the general story.  

 

An in house visit was arranged in Arizona to seal the deal with Dylan and this was a big event to the Raiola clan.  Dylan was very into Nebraska. Several Raiola family members arranged to be there.  Frost phoned Dominic morning of and said he couldn't make it.  Dominic apparently pleaded with Frost to re-consider, and Frost re-iterated he could not be there.  Frost eventually suggested a zoom meeting  Dylan lost faith in the process, Ryan Day caught wind, and OSU full court pressed.

 

I left out the reasons I've come across as to why Frost didn't want to show up, mainly because the general story is true but I suspect people are having fun coming up with Frost's reason to back out.  I personally suspect it's just another example of Frost having some type of personality disorder (another example being how he stood at the media day podium speechless staring past everyone until a BIG rep bailed him)...people with personality disorders make plans and back out last minute all the time...but i guess bad habits can't be ruled out.  

He does not have a personality disorder. I don't know if you are a psychologist, but if you are, it is highly unethical to say something like that.

Okay...so what if Frost was late a few times? 

 

What should bother folks more are the allegations that:

• Duval's S&C put a kid in the hospital right away and hasn't been up to snuff his whole tenure. 
• Frost continually blew off the Adidas NCAA rep (who is more important than ever in the era of NIL) and negatively impacted our relationship with Adidas
• Frost blew off recruiting calls which cost us recruits
• Frost didn't fix his program when kids being drafted were told the program was an impediment to their NFL hopes (see: numerous upper classmen transfers)
• Frost had personality issues with multiple assistants and couldn't stand being in the same room with them (including Chinander)

 

These things, to me, are significantly more damning than tardiness.  

 

Where is any of this? Wasn't Chinander in his wedding??

he does get that way sometimes, but to be fair to him, he's not entirely wrong.

you only need to see the reaction of people on forums to critical artices, or even the reaction when someone comes on the forum to give some not so glamorous info about the program. people don't even want to listen, they instead destroy the messenger. heck, even just pointing out that some specific coaches are bad at their jobs gets you burned at the stake. imagine what would happen if someone wrote about the rumours in the paper the week after we lost to illinois last year?

 

 

It just doesn't seem like rumors at this point, but fact. The media should report on facts.

I feel similarly.

 

 

I'm curious of other comparisons we can find of coaches who maximized their potential at a school with less resources and then went on to have great success at a school with more?

 

Saban was similar at Michigan State before LSU. Les Miles was also similar at Oklahoma State before LSU. Curious about some more recent examples if they're out there.

Damon Benning, my favorite muse, is going IN on a holier than thou rant this morning. 

Just said we couldn't handle him telling what he knows. 

Ok, dude.
