If you're Scott Frost, how do you save your job?

[Baron Winnebago]

Please assume the following:
1. You're getting fired at worse than 5-7
2. You can't do anything illegal
3. Dr Tom can't save you.

Win

 

[Alcaus]

Fuck that, bowl or bust.

To answer your questions, though, I think you gotta beat 2 of the 4 in Wisconsin, Cockeye, NW, and Minnesota.

Fordham, Buffalo, NW, MSU, Minny. Otherwise GTFO.

 

[Kaladin]

1. Win 6 and make a bowl.
2. Fire his entire offensive staff.
3. Go out and get a transfer P5 transfer QB who can throw a forward pass.

Probably this.

Assuming he survives the season by some miracle I’m guessing #3 would be in the cards no matter what. I’d actually guess their plan was to hit the portal big for 2022 to compliment their “strategy” of only taking 13 HS recruits.

Stay away from Gate 25.

I think he has to go out and get a good one. Not some kid from Juco. This offense is in desperate need of a legit QB. So many things would have been different the last few years if we had a better QB.

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

You don’t. It’s over

 

[MtnHusker]

If he gets us to a bowl game with a winning season and we look like a well coached team I think his job is safe. Cries of Solich & Pelini if we let him go with a winning season

This. Except there's almost zero chance it happens.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

But how can he get us to a bowl game? Shit canning his buddies and finding a QB who can play at a consistent D1 level aren't fixes to maintain his employment.

 

[JankTheTank]

1. Can Verduzco starting now. Take over coaching QBs yourself.
2. Elevate Bill Busch to full time assistant status and let him run special teams going forward. Let Dawson focus on OLBs.
3. Have an offensive coach meeting, swallow your pride, and do a deep dive on what this offense is actually capable of doing with the current roster. Dumb it down if you have to, but try and pick the few pieces all coaches agree you can be good with and roll with that.
4. Burn redshirts if you have to. If you can play this season and make a difference, you're playing. If that means Martinez is benched because Smothers or Haarberg fits the role in the adjusted offense better, they're rolling with it.


^^^^ None of this shit is happening.

The Verduzzco Busch thing should definitely happen.

 

[Alcaus]

I honestly think Frost's offensive identity is to fuck around until you're down a couple scores then drop back 40 times and let Adrian scramble for half of them.

Changing ^^^that^^^ should be tied to his future employment.

 

[DrinkItIn]

Frost is too arrogant to change anything. It's always someone/something else's fault. He is a bad football coach, but that isn't his fault he is bad...I guess it is Riley's fault.

 

[CornHub]

You don’t. It’s over

This is my thought as well. He's not going to win enough games and it's too late to change that now. I guess the only thing he could maybe do is play Harberg and pray he's the next coming of football Jesus.

 

[Cash68847]

Win

At best case scenario this team wins 5 games. I don’t see anything he can do at this point. He made his own bed when he didn’t make the proper staff changes the past couple years and didn’t go after a legit transfer qb. Three wins seems the most likely at this point.

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Beat Illinois

 

[herbsinator]

I would simply try to beat the teams with inferior talent
