I’m in the camp that we won’t be able to land a home run big named guy for HC. If I’m Trev, I would take a long look at Matt Entz at NDSU. He runs a power scheme and downhill running offense. Nebraska must return to its roots. Get back to being the pipeline as well. We should not have a worse OL than NW, Iowa, Wisconsin. Below is a nice link with clips of his scheme. Watching these clips would probably make most Nebraska fans drool.

If what’s being reported is true that Frost will give up calling offensive plays to be more of CEO that gives us a few important clues.

1.) He fired guys who learned and ran Spread Up-Tempo scheme. That may mean he is going to a more power run under center scheme giving the reigns to the OC, OL, RB coach. He won’t call plays.

2.) Remember who Frost has learned from in the NFL? Bill Parcells, Bill Belichick, Mike Tomlin, Jon Gruden, Monte Kiffin, etc

This tells me he’s going to be more involved with the defense which explains why no defensive assistants have been fired. So I expect an entirely different offensive scheme next year. Run blocking is not as difficult to teach as pass blocking so I expect a run first mentality OL coach, OC, RB coach. Becton showed the most improvement obviously with TE’s so he’ll be also coach WR’s which means I expect us to recruit more physical/fast receivers. Think Stanley Morgan, Quincy Enunwa, etc

hey so we fired all of our offensive staff but Beckton...its all over the news and social media 

Yeah I was too busy to follow that lol I turned all notifications off on my phone and didn’t hear the news till a bit later on.

I think coach Austin is as good as gone. Held will be promoted to co-oc as run game coordinator with Lubick passing coordinator because Held is probably our best recruiter. I think Verduzco is going to retire. Think we need another dedicated RB coach though. Obviously a ST coordinator should be hired immediately. And we need to find the absolute best OL recruiter and coach we can find.

If we have to bring back Bill Callahan and pay him $1.5 mil a year so be it!

… Just kidding.

After watching the post game presser that does not look like a guy who is at all worried about his job.  The big announcement isn't going to be about a coaching change, at least the head coach.

 

You’ve got it backwards. He’s excited to collect his payout, get out of here and move on.

That Riley was better than Frost?

To add context, at least Callahan in 05’ had us competitive as the season wore on. Won a bowl game. 06’ of course won the B12 North and played a somewhat competitive CCG. Riley went to a bowl twice and of course had us in the top 10, still went to a bowl. 

Everyone has to stop and ask themselves: If Callahan and Riley could take less talented teams (arguable) to bowl games, CCG, have two winning seasons and our current coach says we don’t have great talent… what does that say about Frost?

Answer: He’s not head coach material. How do we compromise? You’ve got to move on. Don’t complain about the buyout. That’s the university’s own damn fault for going all in on an unproven head coach. We’re a profitable university we can afford better than this.
 

The fans deserve it, the players even more. Frost’s given statements that reveal no inclination that he knows how to fix a problem with his team. And how the BYE week essentially didn’t help us at all.

Once again, he is unconsciously letting everyone know he is a bad coach. People need to wake the f#&% up if you love this football program so much then speak with your wallets.

No bud, that Frost is the worst of the 3 bad hires/zero winning seasons

Surely one of the first things Alberts did when he took the job was get a list of coach candidates. I still think if we beat Iowa and Wisconsin then Frost stays. Hint: we won't.

 

It's so sad. Frost is Nebraska through and through. What a story it would have been.

There is definitely a list. Matt Campbell is near the top of it. We will not win another game this year. At this point it does the program no good by not making the HC job available now. Give Chins a chance to prove himself in the last two games heck maybe the new HC retains him and a few assistants.

If we were 7-3 right now with 2 blowout losses people still wouldn’t be happy so what difference does it make. That’s probably how the admin thinks and why people assume Frost will be retained. We dug our own grave firing not one but two head coaches with winning percentages. We hired 3 head coaches who have been bad hires. One of them is not like the others though. Too bad some of our idiot fans and boosters refuse to realize this.

If Frost stays, you give him a contract extension to be able to bring in a competent staff and hire a home run OC.  If he gets the extension, say another 3 years I'd reach out to Chadwell or Napier.  no extension?  Tom Herman

 

With no extension it'd be hard to get anyone here.

 

Also, If Frost changes staff you automatically get another year with the "new staff, new scheme" excuse

AM leaves-You get the excuse of developing another QB

Lost a lot on defense...another year to "rebuild"

 

Keeping Frost in 2022 guarantees he stays until 2023.  Unless  he brings back entire staff. Then maybe he just gets 2022...

 

Gotta disagree with you on this. 4 straight LOSING seasons does not call for a contract extension. If it were me I’d fire him with cause due to the NCAA investigation and then there would be no buyout. It’ll take Frost twice as long as it did Frank to get over it which I think he never really did. This is a results driven business.

If he had a winning season in year 1 or 2,  I’d agree and be on board for making some changes with his assistants. He is not going to do that now. He doesn’t deserve a redo. He’s proven he’s a terrible coach who wasn’t ready to lead a major football program. He is way too loyal to assistants.

Maybe that’s because he wants stability but sometimes you’ve got to take a step back and think about what’s not working. He needs to get over his big ego and take a look in the mirror. He’s definitely coaching for his job if from what I’ve heard he may be on the chopping block already.

Honestly after today's performance I would be okay with keeping Scott but I really really really want Tom Herman to be the offensive coordinator. The TV announcers said that Scott said we couldn't recruit Texas anymore. Well, would help with that

It wouldn’t. The dynamics have changed. Either Texas kids want to play in the SEC to get paid or go to Clemson to get paid. Moving to the B1G really hurt our recruiting in that territory.

Common man, I know times are tough now but Bo needed to go, it was borderline mutual. His replacement was by far the dumber move.

 

 

And yet Mike Riley has a better career record at Nebraska than your precious Frosty.

I mean really TO runs the athletic department. Former players at AD and Assoc AD and HC. 

Yeah that is pretty obvious. He needs to just walk away. It would be better for the program. Unfortunately we all know Trev has his ear, too.

Exactly.

 

It is not the close losses...it is the close losses to the garbage teams.

 

A lot of you hated Bo because, well because you are weird and think he should be blowing you but also because of the blowouts.  But Bo beat the crap teams, which is what you need to do.

 

Frost can't beat good teams or bad teams.

Firing Bo was the dumbest thing we ever did. He pumped guys into the NFL even non Callahan recruits. It’s too bad he didn’t have the support from leadership that Frost (allegedly) does. They sort of rolled out the red carpet for Scott. And now they (higher ups) are idiotic.

And it shouldn't be....

Yup, if it weren’t a former player, he’d be fired by now. Gotta keep personal feelings aside. I’ve met Trev Alberts. He is all business, believe me.

You see what you get. Retain him and we will get the same results next year. Whether we lose by one possession or not everything falls on the head coach’ shoulder. He is just not a power 5 level head coach and everyone is foolish to think otherwise. A real P5 coach doesn’t lose to inferior opponents (Troy, Purdue, Covid Minny, the list goes on.)

This isn’t personal it’s business. And the decision is not a tough one for Trev.

Same s#!t, different day.

Another day another loss

Frost gets one more year.  Change some coaches and goal would be to make a bowl game.

If you don't make a bowl game - goodbye.

Haha he’s gonna get stuck with grad assistants looking to get promoted. It’s not going to happen. He had his chances to make changes. Like Callahan he hitched his wagon to his assistants he brought here. That and sticking with AM and not developing another QB. That’ll be his downfall.

The real dilemma is why isn’t he fired already? I’d like to think that we are still a top tier program and having an actual opening may garner some interest from a variety of candidates.

Trev said in his introduction presser (or early on after he came in) he wasn't looking at wins and losses, but incremental improvements. I'm wondering if he is using this year as a baseline and not really considering what occurred before he stepped in at AD or if he thinks things have improved from last year. 

 

We'll see I guess 

If we finish 3-9 the AD is going to get some real heat, believe me. It’s going to be a hard sell to keep SF regardless of how many artificial “one possession” losses there are. In pretty much all of those we were down by too much and getting garbage points while we ran out of time. That’s not exactly “close” IMO.

Dang pesky facts are hard to argue. Plus attrition is partly the fault of coaching staffs. Example, if we used wandale right he would still be here. 

Yeah we tried to do too much with him it didn’t help that nearly every throw to him by AM nearly got him killed.

I just really don’t think Trev had any plans of firing Frost but I doubt he thought the last two weeks would turn out the way it did either. Not saying it’s too late to switch gears but still you’d probably like to be further along in the process if you were going to make a change. 

If he wasn’t prepared to adapt to change then he shouldn’t have taken the job. If he keeps Frost and by some luck we go bowling next year, he looks like a genius. If he fires him and the new hire brings a winning season, he looks like a genius. Firing Frost or asking him to step down is a win-win for NU. I still think we will part ways with Frost and I think it will happen after the OSU game. Matt Campbell is going to be the next head coach at Nebraska. Book it.

I wonder if when he said “I don’t want to overstep” in his presser if he was alluding to already being told that he’s going to get one more year.

No, I think he’s trying to be careful not to say the wrong things because he did in the Purdue post game presser.
