The OWH Editorial Board.....endorses a 5th year for Frost?

WTF?

Entrenched mediocrity will lead to entrenched apathy

They're on the take.  Frost has millions to spread around.  Even the local guys here wrote about how "inspiring" the latest loss was.  That's Fro$t spreading around.

Lol.  The "Keep Frost" PR machine is churning.

 

Did the OWH Ed board weigh in on Riley or Pelini or Callahan or Solich?

[Red Five]

Their logic hurts my brain.

Even Bill Callahan and Mike Riley had better records and bigger wins than our native son, national championship quarterback has been able to deliver.

 

But the critical difference, in our view, is that Frost genuinely knows and feels Husker fans’ pain. We are confident he cares as much as any of us and hurts as much or more than any of us. Callahan, Riley and, in all probability, whomever could be hired to replace Frost lack that intangible.

The editorial board should stick to traditional politics.

From the executive editor of the OWH itself:

Who does the NYT endorse?  What about the GI Independent?

 

Worms Gazette?

 

What am I missing here.   This stuff is what makes me cranky about the current state of journalism, but at least it is the "editorial" staff.

It is crazy to think that Callahan and Riley didn't care about losses as well.

The editorial staff. Not a sports editor, or a columnist. The voice of the very paper itself decided to get involved in the inner workings of the head coaching job at the University of Nebraska.

A coach by any other name: OWH would be calling for their firing.   I just don't understand the rational behind keeping a well below .400 coach - just because he keeps the games close.  I guess losing small and often isn't as embarrassing as losing big even if you win most of your games as Bo did.

Yeah, kind of a dumb take/rationalization by the ed board... at least based on the specific part you quoted.

 

Callahan and Riley did their best to succeed at Nebraska. I don't believe for a moment that either of them didn't appreciate or respect the pain Husker fans felt nor that it gives Frost some inherent 'intangible' benefit over anyone else. Honestly, people have used that as a criticism against Frost i.e. he cares so much and feels so passionately about the program that it perhaps inhibits his ability to get the program back on track.

The logic was awful and I can't believe they put this out for the public to read. Embarrassing.
