If for no other reason, MJ’s clock management w 10m left in this game should remove him from consideration for HC.

Yes, I believe you are correct there.  

 

The difference in view is what happens if he meets his metrics.  From the article I read on Hail Varsity:

 

If Frost and the football team achieve “metrics mutually agreed to by the parties (next year),” his salary will return to $5 million for 2023 and he will receive a one-year contract extension through Dec. 31, 2027.

Makes sense. And I must admit, I’ve given up hope of him meeting any metrics. But I would love to see those metrics leaked in a year or more just for a peak behind the curtain.

It basically goes back to what it was prior ... oh, and he gets another year added to his contract.  So, to keep him is to actually be in the same situation for an additional year.  They really set it up as a "Win" for Scott.  Yes, we save some in one season ... but if we keep him then it all goes back to what it was prior and he gets another year.

That’s not how I read it. Following is what was said back in November. If still accurate the buyout doesn’t go back up until renegotiation or extension. 
 

Nebraska coach Scott Frost’s new contract buyout goes into effect Oct. 1, 2022. If fired next year, he’s owed $7.5M (down from $15M) on a prorated basis, $5M in 2023, $2.5M in 2024 and $1.25M in 2025. If fired without cause before Oct. 1, 2022, the old buyout remains effective.

I don't know if MJ has the ability to motivate and rally the troops to salvage something from the season, but I'm fairly certain Frost doesn't. 

 

If he did it would have happened last year, or the year before, or the year before . . .

 

Maybe the question should be what do we gain by allowing Frost to continue to run the program into the ground?

That’s exactly the question that should be asked. Frost paid $7.5m to buy himself up to Oct 1st to prove he can turn things around. He’s already sh1t the bed. Beating Oklahoma is the only thing that should prolong his tenure and it can’t stop there. Like the Helton/usc article in the other thread alludes to, keep him on and the cancer grows.

Are we sure we want Trev making these decisions?  This whole fiasco was his idea.

Huh?

7.5m reasons to wait for Oct 1, then Husker football will be interesting again.

Living in Lincoln though

Enough NIL money can give sufficient short term warmth. 

If we all squint just right………TO?

How many games were we down by 2 or more scores and came back to make it a 1 score loss? It seems like more than one if memory serves me correct.

I believe it was 5 games. It's also what I was saying in other threads where we pad our offensive stats late in the game when the other team is up and playing a prevent defense and we add 80 yards and a td late. 

Technically 6 but your point is accurate in 4:

Illinois - down 9-30 (TD at 2:45 left)

Oklahoma - down 9-21 (TD at 5:38 left)

Michigan - down 7-19, but did retake lead

Minnesota- down 16-30 (TD at 1:12 left)

Purdue - down 17-28 (TD at 1:44 left)

OSU - down 10-23 (TD at 15:22 left)

(hard to believe our largest deficit of the year was to Illinois)

But on an entirely different point, we were also up and blew leads:

Illinois - up 9-2 early 

Michigan St - up 20-13 very late

Michigan - up 29-26 very late

Purdue - up 17-14 late in Q3

Iowa - up 21-6 late enuf

Right idea, wrong reason.  The only wait that matters now is the one involving a separation agreement in November, 2022.  

 

Whoever the new coordinator will be, there time in Lincoln will be clocked with an egg timer.

100%. The only change might be October as I’ll not be surprised to be 2-4 at the 1st bye week or 2-6 at the 2nd.  Expecting TA to cut bait and start fishin early. 

With all due respect, I think the wrong question is being asked here. The right question is when will a faint glimmer of hope for Husker football re-appear in your heart?

For me, the answer is Oct 2nd, 2022 when our record is 3-3 (at very best) and Trev announces the firing of Frost.

Commentator mentions Tommy Armstrong Junior, and he appears with a YOLO bomb.

Anyone seen Yant yet?

I learned that when frost says things like he told the group this week that if you want to play in the NFL, you’ll have longer stretches than this to deal with, I should read between the lines.  He could see they were running out of gas.
