CharBroiled Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Alberts sounds exactly like someone who has a deep vested interest in Husker football, with a deserved respect for Frost. He knew he had to fire Frost now, and he couldn't wait. 4 Quote Link to comment

The only specific football goal he listed. Hell yeah! So shines a good word. This is our only hope ... true belief in this view. Quote Link to comment

That's it, just 3 weeks. $7.5 million that is now unavailable to the program going forward. Again, it's not $7.5 million to fire Frost, it's $7.5 million to fire him 3 weeks earlier. 3 weeks wasn't going to cost any more fans. No matter how you slice it, 7.5mill just isn’t a factor when it comes to making the right decision once you know it is the right one at that level. Delaying it to save 7.5 mil isn’t the smart financial decision you think it is. Some say “penny wise, pound foolish.” 1 Quote Link to comment

Huskerchief Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I don’t understand why we spend so much time worrying about the money. Is the extra 7 mil coming out of your pocket? No. Get over the money aspect of things because this is what needed to happen and Trev got it done. I don’t understand the mentality of people wanting to save some money at the expense of continuing to drive the program into the ground. Trust me. You find the right guy and Nebraska becomes relevant again… the money comes. But once again, we are the fans and it’s not our money so stop using the firing before Oct. 1 as a way to be angry about Frost being fired, which frankly should’ve happened after we lost to Illinois last year.

Some say “penny wise, pound foolish.” I can just as easily say spending $7.5 million to gain 3 weeks before firing a coach isn't the smart financial decision you think it is. How much did the Huskers spend on NIL this last season? Was it even $7.5 million? Or how much on assistant coaches? Claiming that $7.5 million doesn't matter seems pretty unfounded. I'm open to how gaining 3 weeks was worth $7.5 million. How did that help the program moving forward vs spending that money on new coaches or NIL? 1 Quote Link to comment

My hope is that a weight is lifted of everyone's shoulders, and with MJ breathing new life both the players and staff can play loose and free. If I squint I can see 5 more wins - Indiana, Rutgers, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa. Minnesota is much better than you think. I might pick em to win the west right now if you asked me.

I'm not trying to callout the poster here, but this is the kind of attitude that makes me think that the Huskers have much deeper issues with the program than just hiring a coach. All the resources for making the program better matter, especially the money. It's not that I care about whose money it was, but rather that it's money that could be used to help a struggling program that needs a lot of help right now. It seems like a short-sighted move by the AD and/or boosters to feel better now instead of suffering through the next 3 weeks in order for the program to be in better shape going forward. Anyway, hopefully we do just need the correct magical choice of a new coach and everything will get better and the money doesn't matter. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nobody is going to care in a year about this buyout. Big Ten teams, especially ones like Nebraska, basically print money. And stop acting like we can just “spend that money on NIL”. That just isn’t how it works. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Some dude may have said he's taking his planned 10 million donation to Iowa City if Frost isn't fired today. Who knows, and who cares right? Quote Link to comment

You know who is in a better position and has tons more experience to make this decision versus some guy on the internet who has never run a top 20 athletic department? Trev Alberts. 1 Quote Link to comment
