Boy, Dodd went in-depth with that hard-hitter… talk about a complete waste just so you can write off a trip to Scottsdale and a breakfast

"70 minute conversation" for like 4 quotes and the breaking news that Frost would like to coach again at some point.

Any excuse for them to leverage those Husker fan hate clicks, though - the last sure thing in sports media.

He’s “dying to get back into coaching” while also being so addicted to golf, booze and pussy that he’s hesitant to leave Scottsdale lol.

A few of the reasons I won't leave Scottsdale either, btw. 😎 😎

I find it pretty pathetic that he doesn't want to directly talk about his time here.......after publicly saying all the things he said. I was a big fan of the things he said at the time, but own your shit even if it goes south.

Listening to 1620 this morning, Gary said he was approached at one point by a mutual party saying that Scott wanted to do a podcast to "clear the air". Gary had offered their morning radio to make it happen and it apparently went completely quiet after that and he hasn't heard from that person since then.

Pretty obvious puff piece orchestrated by his agent. Based on the shit he did at NU, I would assume Scrote is basically unhireable. I firmly believe that no AD would take a chance on someone with his extreme lack of self-awareness.

Scrote continues to place blame on everyone but himself. All AD's communicate, and they all know what a train wreck Scrote is.

I think Kirk talked to him for OC and then proceeded to publicly roast him for being an idiot

That's one of the things Gary said, that an AD would have a tough time taking a chance on him. I assume Gary knows quite a bit about the behind the scenes stuff. He doesn't actually think he wants to get back into coaching. He thinks it's possible that part of the agreement with Turd was to just make it look like you're trying to get a job.

I heard from some guys that would know that Scott's side reached out and they humored it until it was time to seriously consider candidates. He didn't even make the top 5 list. If he really wanted to coach again he'd probably be an analyst somewhere. Sitting on his ass and taking eight hunting trips a year isn't really doing much to convince the coaching world the perception that he's a lazy asshole isn't true.

Brother if you want to rest and take time with your kids while you count your money, great. You probably need it. Take some accountability and at least make an excuse for why YOU failed. Couldn't even do that.

I would assume he's looking for a UCF type HC job again. If I was a betting man, I would bet he thinks anything less than that isn't worth his time. G5 HC or bust, to start, I mean.

Yeah the article was weird about that too. On one hand it says, "The former Huskers quarterback chooses not to reflect on those days. In fact, he prefers not talking about Nebraska." but then it goes on to say, "Over breakfast at a Scottsdale eatery, Frost agreed to discuss the past." ...and then he basically never even says anything about anything? What a bizarre PR piece.

Based on his comments about Orlando I assume he's looking for THE UCF job again. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he goes back there for round two if/when Malzahn leaves. That's the one place where he'll still be welcomed as a hero.

He needs to take an analyst job before he gets anything else. Nobody in their right mind would hire him as a head coach. Gotta spend a few years proving you've still got it.

Scott is taking his current resume and reputation and competing for work against two types:

1. Dynamic younger guys with more potential who are more excited to come into work every day. These guys love fundraising and work the room at AFCA so great things get said about them.

2. Football lifers who live to coach and can be trusted to have a handle on the organization given their background as upstanding character coaches. May not win you 12 games in a year but they won't crater the program. (Bronco Mendenhall, Jerry Kill)

He's got the worst qualities of both - he's extremely speculative, requires babysitting, and doesn't have a track record of giving a shit about fundraising, working the media, or promoting the brand.

Biggest things that raised the flags for me that Gary said was that he does not like roster construction, does not like recruiting or NIL or any of that stuff, and basically wants to stay out of shit, admin wise, and hang out in the football facility.........so not a GM/CEO/HC. Basically not a great option in today's CFB world. Great offensive X's and O's guy. Sounds like an analyst to me.

Yeah. Like others have said, now that it's been discussed for 24 hours, feels like his camp's way of keeping his name in the media without really doing anything significant.

Maybe, don't think it would surprise anyone. What's kinda funny about that is he made UCF cool right when college football was about to go into this new age. Given what we know he doesn't like, I wonder how he'd handle that if there was a part two down there. Danny White isn't there anymore though so I wonder if the new AD would reach out to him or not.

This is a great point. It's really really wild how far off the perception was from the reality. In 2017 he was seen as not only a potential genius at the game of football, but also the spearhead of this new modern youthful college football world that was about to take over.

He was beloved by his players who saw him as a cool as hell older brother, UCF's sideline was famous for goofy stunts, the entire program seemed like they were having a blast all the time, he would speak about CFB issues through a modern/futuristic lens, he had a charismatic star quality, he wore Yeezys, I mean... where the hell did that guy go?

It's still utterly bizarre to me that we got this guy instead:

 

[djw004]

"In those four-plus seasons at Nebraska, however, he went 16-31, the worst record for a Huskers coach since Bill Jennings (1957-61).
Nebraskans can continue ripping Frost, but that becomes tiresome when you've already torn apart the other coaches who followed the legendary Tom Osborne. Better to look to the future themselves."

Dennis details that Scott was the worst coach since the 1950's - but Nebraska fans complain about everyone since Osborne (not entirely true) so it doesn't matter. What the hell are you talking about Denny.

 

[djw004]

"Nebraska struggled to find an identity in the modern era when it transitioned to the Big Ten in 2011....Mike Riley, a former Pac-10 Coach of the Year, went 19-19 in three seasons."

Judas Priest...yes. A coach who's lifetime .500 had a really good season once, and then went .500 in his tenure at another school. Shocker.

Dodd is a Mizzou grad who makes a career out of poking Nebraska.

If only Frost had been dying to coach when he actually had the job.

This quote shows an amazing lack of self-awareness. .

"You think the Steelers [with the Immaculate Reception] said, 'We really got lucky and the ball [ticked] off somebody's foot and Franco Harris caught it. We shouldn't have won?' Frost said. "Whatever it takes, you win."

This asshole spent five years complaining about being unlucky, instead of taking responsibility for the record.

I think we have to consider the possibility that, in addition to all of his other flaws as a coach, he is actually, truly dumb.
