Frost Metrics

[Cash68847]

6 wins in year 5. JFC what an incredible shitshow.

Didn’t we all expect it was 6 wins? This really isn’t a surprise.

 

[DuckSker]

When is the public allowed to know the metrics of Frost’s personal life?

Yeah. This wasn't to keep Frost's job, it was to get the money back that Turd negotiated down when he had to keep Frost for 2022.

I expected 4....

Explains the on-side kick. Frost wanted to golf, drink, hunt and chase pussy.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Yeah. This wasn't to keep Frost's job, it was to get the money back that Turd negotiated down when he had to keep Frost for 2022.

They might as well have made it a natty because that was about as achievable as 6 for Coach Scrote

 

[2010sarenevercomingback]

I guess I always took it as "this is the bare minimum to have a chance at keeping your job under any circumstances," not "this would be meeting all expectations."

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I expected 4....

Felt like most of the board thought:

NW
Ga State
UND

And at best 2 of Rutgers, IU, and Illinois (who is in fact not as terrible as we expected)

Alberts speaks on Frost's metrics for 2022 after Tuesday court ruling​

By BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON 93 minutes ago

Nebraska athletics director Turd Alberts supplied details about the necessary metrics that had been set for Scott Frost heading into the 2022 season.

It came up during Alberts' hour-long show on the Huskers Radio Network after a Lincoln judge ruled on Tuesday the athletic department had to reveal that info after USA Today sued the university when denied a request for that info. The newspaper believed it fit within the scope of public records. The Husker athletics department is required to give out that info within the next seven days due to the ruling.

Given that, Alberts supplied what may be the main information to know during the radio appearance.

"I thought for a variety of reasons that it was in the best interest of the university not to (make it public). So the university chose to challenge that lawsuit. The judge ruled not in our favor..." Alberts said. "It really isn't a huge secret. What I wanted from Scott, and we talked about it a lot, was incremental progress. So Scott and I had talked about ... we needed to get to a bowl game – and not backing into a bowl game. A minimum of six games. And so if we could six games, get to a bowl game, then we could sort of revert back to his original contract."

That's in reference to Frost's annual base salary dropping from $5 million to $4 million in 2022.


"So we'll release those. We're not going to appeal," Alberts continued. "I thought it was important in more of an HR type of personal improvement deal. Obviously the judge viewed it differently. So we'll be releasing that in the appropriate time. I thought it would be fair on the show tonight to just make people aware: that's the extent of what those metrics looked like. I wanted to see improvement and I thought it was a minimum level that we get to a bowl game and get to at least six games."

There was no similar document regarding NU men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, Alberts said.


"Fred and I, it was more verbal. That's what my intent with for Scott as well. And I think it was more comfortable for Scott to have something in writing, so we went down that path. As an athletic director, you have these conversations all the time with every one of your coaches. You have to establish what the expectations are and you create goals together. But that's kind of where we are on that. It will be nice to put that behind us and move forward.

"So I guess our fans can be looking for some communication both in our local press and maybe even national about what the actual metrics were."

 

[MtnHusker]

We all hoped this wasn’t the case, but deep in our heart of hearts we all knew this would be what it was.

Yet there were fans who still accepted 4 years of losing as they defended our coach. Even Turd mentioned how the Metrics don't support keeping Frost for a 5th season but his hands were tied.

 

[Napkins]

Yeah if I’m your AD and the metric becomes “go 0.500-ish” that means if you so much as look at me wrong I will fire you into the sun.

 

[Irv]

What's wonderful is he felt the need to guard against the loophole of a 5-win bowl game. We live in amazing times.

Idk if backing in meant 5 wins so much as shitting your pants the entire.back half of the season

 

[djw004]

Jesus Fuck. What a low bar that was unattainable against a SHIT schedule.

We will hire Willie Taggart…I just fucking know it.

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Lol, Scott had the lowest possible expectations and couldn’t meet them

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

1. Why would you actually release that?

2. You heard rumblings that was the case but since it’s now confirmed: pathetic. What a unacceptable answer. The university doesn’t deserve the fans it has.

Freedom of information act.... Some national newspaper filed a suit saying that they wanted them.

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

I guess I always took it as "this is the bare minimum to have a chance at keeping your job under any circumstances," not "this would be meeting all expectations."

Yeah I think 6 wins was a gray area that we needed to avoid..

Either you needed to win 8+ and you had confirmation it was heading the right way or you needed to miss a bowl. If you were in the 6/7 range it was purgatory.
