I'm thinking we need to get some juniors/Seniors that have lots of game experience to work the line. the freshman to sophomores will be really good in 2-3 years when they are seniors. Unfortunately, these coaches may not be around to see that... I think that the staff will stick around. I think, barring an epic meltdown, he’s bought himself a few more years with these hires. 1 Quote Link to comment

I personally believe that Frost has to make a bowl game next year to coach in 2023. More of the same won’t do imo. By year 5, Frost has used his mulligans up. Time to shine. A hundred scholarships plus a bunch of walkons. No more excuses apply. This is 100% Frost’s team. Meaningful progress. A rated (top 25) team by year end seems a reasonable minimum. Schedule is as easy as it will ever be. Roster churn and youth are not acceptable excuses by year 5. That is likely where a majority of Husker fans and boosters and even team members will be vis a vis Frost. Quote Link to comment
Huskinator Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I am willing to put a lot of money on the opposite. How do you convince Chubba to come here over Oklahoma for a one and done situation. The conversation was had and there was assurances that he will have more time…. That’s my thoughts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just a reminder that players transferring (especially QBs) is just part of the game now and by itself, isn't an indictment on the staff. It's just college football today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I personally hope this team turns the corner and starts winning games consistently so Frost can be here for the foreseeable future. But let's be honest, if 2022 is ANOTHER losing record, especially with the easier schedule and the lower buyout amount, how do you justify keeping Frost again? Trev isn't releasing the details of the benchmarks he has agreed to with Frost, so only time will tell, but hopefully we don't have to worry about all that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Huskinator Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I honestly don’t think that benchmark should be hard to hit. Anything less than that would almost be an implosion. I’d assume he’d lose the locker room if it got bad. Quote Link to comment

His hires need at least two years to teach and implement. Trev is smart and understands this. Nevertheless, if there’s a repeat of 3 to 4 wins, There will be a lot of outside pressure to pull the trigger, rightfully so. I also agree that a bowl game should be the lowest bar, and I am a SF supporter. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

If there isn't measurable improvement at some level in the win column, it becomes pretty hard to keep him for 2023. He doesn't need to win a championship this year. But, there needs to be evidence that we are headed in that direction. 1 Quote Link to comment

It’s gotta be improvement but that bars so low that it’s hard to explain. I think the way they look on the field changes that bar as well. 2 Quote Link to comment

I agree...I think he bought himself at least two more years.Opposing coaches recruiting against us are throwing out the narrative that this is a make or break year for Frost...I dont think that is the case.
