Is Tom Osborne the biggest potato in Nebraska?

[ChocaEgg]

You say that, but this thread was a bit dramatic. There's so much stuff that matters related to the program to scrutinize right now, I just don't know why you're worried about the words of an irrelevant figurehead old man.

He's hardly irrelevant. He was intimately involved in keeping Frost employed here when he should've been fired last year. As long as he's alive and kicking he still has the ability to damage the program and has proven over the years how effective he is at that.

Grant has 419 through 3 games.

He has speed and wiggle Oz would kill for

This is the gospel. Amen

What TO said about Frost’s tenure was all bullshit. The taters ate it up

The only thing you could really say was a lie was when he said "he's a good coach" but that's a subjective statement anyway.

Can you elaborate on how exactly he saved Frost's job?

It's been discussed on here and every Husker message Board. He helped rally the boosters to threaten to pull promised $ if Frost was fired.

Definitely better wiggle and vision. Oz was pretty fast. 4.5 40 at 5'11" 220 is pretty solid.

I repeat, all of it

I felt Riley inherited a much more Hollow Roster and did so much more. Bo looked much better when he had Bill Callahan's recruits and the last few years Bo's staff wasn't recruiting at a level we needed. Poor player evaluations and not enough effort in recruiting. We had 3 Walk Ons starting on the O Line because of Bo's shitty recruiting plus Riley's staff didn't have the advantage of the Transfer Portal or NIL.

I wont argue HCMR had a hollow roster because Bo was basically dead man walking toward the end. Bo still left more talent than HCMR did IYAM.

Assuming that actually happened did they need TO to tell them to save him? I believe about 30% of that story.

Perhaps, but it's the way it went down.

Allegedly. Story I heard was Turd was keeping Frost no matter what happened.

Well known. Jim is playing DA. He’s no dummy

Under threat of what?

 

[Jim14510]

I take everything with a grain of salt when it comes to this shit. The closest I got to this situation was a friend of Turd's telling me in late September that Frost will get another year.

The rest is message board lore.

 

[ChocaEgg]

Under threat of what?

What

 

[HCFord1]

What

Why would they listen to him and change their minds?

 

[Jim14510]

Under threat of what?

I think the point was TO is the one that told the boosters to pull their money if they fire Frost. It's probably one of the least believable parts of this story.

What is believable is them asking TO what he thought. TO being close to Frost obviously making him a Frost homer encouraged to keep him.

 

[ChocaEgg]

Why would they listen to him and change their minds?

I don't think he had to change many minds.

 

[Jim14510]

I don't think he had to change many minds.

And that's just it. Don't think he changed any minds at all. If he had said Frost needs to be fired that may have changed minds.
