And I said what I said because it’s pretty unreasonable to expect anyone to willingly give up $7.5M they are entitled to. If he did, some will down play it like it was the right thing to do and, if he didn’t, some will stupidly hold it against him. It would be a huge act of charity by Frost if he took kess than was owed regardless his performance.

There's no reason for Frost to take less than he was owed.

Nobody is going to be hired until December. If Mickey pulls a Dabo and turns a season around, he makes himself a serious candidate. Otherwise, it’s talk to current coaches thru their agents for the new 2+ months. 

I hope Mickey does well but the big few names are the goal and maybe they can then mentor him to take over

Dear God, make Chins a bird, so he can fly away ... far, far away.

I ask because I don’t know but is there an option on staff to be new defensive coordinator?

Whether or not this is the reason, the message this sends to the fan base is "we don't need an extra $7.5 million back in our pocket to hire a competent head coch."

 

So Trev, whatever the reason it is that you made this decision today, I hope you can back u the actual message it is sending to us the fans.

Who knows maybe Frost fell on his sword and agreed not to drag it out two + weeks

Yea honestly it was pretty clear from his presser he really didn’t have any answers and was pretty sick of it. Frost knew he was a dead man walking.

Exactly what I was saying….?

Troy Calhoun.  This trying to do what every other team is doing nonsense when your recruiting base is far more limited hasn't worked for what..2O years?  They zig we should zag.  Master what you do and stop trying to do everything sort of ok.

I like how everyone wanted Frost fired and then when Trev does it people still complaint that it wasn't exactly how they wanted it done.

Feel sorry for the man, but this needed to happen.

2nd this. He's had a rough go of it here plus losing his dad. You know he cared and he tried his best, but he it didn't work out.

Yes, I'm agreeing with you.

I feel horrible for Frost. It’s never fun to hear this kind of news. However, this is the nature of the beast. It’s a results driven business. I’m excited to see what Mickey can do. If the players play hard for him, run through a wall for him. He could do what SF couldn’t— produce a winning season.

I agree with this. We cannot be cheap now. It’s time to go B1G or go home. He clearly is sending the message that money is no object. That should certainly get Urb’s and Stoops attention.

Trev screwed this up big time.  I think it was obvious to many that Frost was not the right guy last year.  Why restructure his contract and keep him around only to fire him before October 1.  

 

Because they honestly thought it wouldn't be this bad. Now it's about branding and optics. 

 

I'd like to say that this horrendous start to the season was the only thing to silence Frost supporters, but even a few hours ago the Husker social media universe was still popping with fans supporting Frost, claiming these rebuilds take years, worrying that no coach will ever want to come here if we fire coaches, and getting angry at Frost-doubters for being fairweather fans. 

 

No matter what side of the fence you're on, the season just got more interesting. I don't think I could have taken another sideline shot of Scott Frost wishing it would all be over.

Trev Alberts is likely in damage control mode for his own job.
