HerbieHancock Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I’d tell the media to keep my families name out of their mouths too. GBR Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) What exactly happened during this search that Frost was referencing? Someone called his parents? Edited December 5, 2017 by gorp512 Quote Link to comment
Making Chimichangas Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I agree that Coach Frost's family should be left alone, by media AND fans alike. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 As someone from a coaching family i can tell you....it's a nice thought. But not realistic. It's also one of the reasons I'm not a coach. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 18 hours ago, In the Deed the Glory said: Well, they could lose their press credentials from Nebraska as an entire news organization. Virtually the same thing. 18 hours ago, Undone said: Agreed, good point. 18 hours ago, Hayseed said: Is banning them from University property something that can’t be done? I would think they could easily do that. Nebraska would have to be careful about trying to "ban" an entire news organization. Local media laws forbid an organization from banning an entire media outlet from public news conferences. The press credentials are namely for security purposes. Banning a reporter/outlet simply because they did something a coach/university doesn't like wouldn't fly unless there was something like a provable public safety concern. And, even then, only that individual reporter would likely be banned. Trying to keep the media outlet away would be challenging if not impossible. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Frost's request for privacy for his family shouldn't just be read as directed at the media, every fan should understand this means them, too. The Frosts deserve to live their lives quietly. Scott is the public figure, not his wife, son or parents. Nobody is camping out by his parents' house, but nobody needs to start, either. Leave them alone and let's just watch football. The sooner this whole conversation is forgotten the better. It's a weird focus for a new coach based on one offhand phone call one member of the media made. 5 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) I understand his desire to make a strong statement about this from the beginning. But I don't really understand the harm in asking him a question about how his parents reacted to the conference championship win or his being named coach. They're asking him, not bothering his parents. Edited December 5, 2017 by Moiraine 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Totally on board with leave coaches' families alone. There are lots of ways to have said this, though, publicly or privately. I think Scott would have commanded a lot of respect if he had stated his request instead of demanding it. I understand Scott probably has some feelings about the media here going a long, long time back. I don't think it's healthy for the program for him to already have this view that they're out to get him. Spend the honeymoon capital wisely. Quote Link to comment

I attribute his response being a little sharp due to tiredness and probably a little hunger. He said himself he hadn't gotten a lot of sleep or food in the last 24 hours. Quote Link to comment
I.M. OLD Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I thought he told them if they tried to make any contact with family he would never do an interview with them again. 1 Quote Link to comment

Sam McKewon was the one who asked Frost about how his parents responded to his decision, and that's what caused Frost to make his edict of not bringing up his family. McKewon is a professional and didn't take it as a negative. He chalked it up to Frost being exhausted after a long 48-72 hours prior to the PC. 1 Quote Link to comment
