RedDenver Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Just now, The Dude said: I never really viewed it as such because it was obvious at the time retaining Frost was huge mistake. The 7.5m was just another way to justify dragging along an already failed experiment. Ok, but that doesn't change anything about firing him now vs 3 weeks from now. Quote Link to comment

IU has never been good at football and they have been at least competing over his tenure... same for NW except for that one time the won the conference Quote Link to comment

He definitely said the latter. I don't recall seeing the former. And they are obviously not the same. I picked that up from Sharp & Benning on Sept. 8 when Sip was the guest. He was referring to OU. Don't think he considered a loss to Georgia Southern but a loss to GS would clearly have a much bigger impact than a loss to top 10 OU as we saw. Quote Benning - but man, yesterday in the On3 chat it was weird. I'm trying to get context of what you meant when you said "If Nebraska wins against Georgia Southern and doesn't look very good against OU, it would be a close call on coach Frost and his tenure vs. Indiana". Is that right? Sipple - It feels little tenuous right now. .... But if they would lose resoundingly to Oklahoma I think the conversation gets heated up quite a bit. We're already in a week-to-week, it really feels week-to-week right now. 1 Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 27 minutes ago, Mavric said: Yes it could. The donor could use it for NIL. I don't know anything about what the conditions are. And neither do you. But you're flat wrong to say it couldn't happen. It definitely could. It didn't but that doesn't mean it couldn't. That’s what I meant. Neither of know. So to hang Trev out to dry when you don’t know is a pretty crappy thing to do. And you don’t have a history of doing that, which is why I say you’re better than that. Quote Link to comment

I was pretty confident in him going forward but now I just don't know. Maybe Mickey will pull a shocker next weekend and goes on to win a bunch of games and this ends up being a genius move. (Unfortunately, I think Mickey will be fortunate to stay within 30 points of OU.) I just don’t see it as much of an unforced error. I can’t really blame Trev even if he contributed to it. I imagine he gave SF extra leash out of respect for his playing days and program commitment and I don’t see anything particularly wrong with that. That’s why I’m not hung up on it not happening last year when it was deserved. I think it may be as simple as he gave him too much of an extended opportunity and Frost didn’t take advantage of the extra chance by winning enough. And/Or it may be that there weren’t enough donors on board last year or there were too many demanding it after Saturday’s game. To me it was just an unavoidable occurrence and the timing simply got out of his control. We all were aware Trev’s clock wasn’t going to start until he named the next coach so I’m just giving him a pass on whatever he’s done or not done with Scott. If the worst thing is that $7.5M didn’t get put to best use, I don’t think that’s too terrible after all the BS of the last 20 years. Seems pretty minor in the grand scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Let's also not forget we just lost to Georgia Southern. If you let that sink in for a minute it's not the craziest thing that Frost's dismissal was accelerated. 2 Quote Link to comment

Those bastards cost us an additional $7.5 on top of the $1.4 we paid them to come play us. Effin Clay Helton. Yeah I’m kidding… 1 Quote Link to comment

Don't move your goalposts. I'm excited for Mickey, but don't move your goalposts that Frost is our reason for losing not talent or schedule. Quote Link to comment
cheekygeek Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The conversations for which I would like to be a fly on the wall are the ones between Mickey Joseph and Chin & his staff. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Of course Frost is the reason the program is where it is. 2 Quote Link to comment
