Is Tom Osborne the biggest potato in Nebraska?

[HCFord1]

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.

Yep, TO isn't a fucking puppet master here. The people who right the checks are under no obligation to listen to the old man because there are literally no consequences to ignoring him.

 

[HCFord1]

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

Exactly. Now we're getting somewhere.

 

[ChocaEgg]

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.

He still helped rally enough folks to give the threat of pulling money some real teeth.

Again you say that like you know. Which you don't. Did TO get on the phone and call a few boosters to encourage them to show support for Frost? Very possible. Did he?

Possibly, but I think it's more likely that people like to make TO the boogeyman here.

This story and the @MtnHusker story of the power players wanting Frost here so that they could keep lining their pockets and enjoying the prestige of being in with the head coach just don't line up. If they are all in on Frost then they wouldn't need any prodding from TO to rally together and stop it, they'd be doing it on their own.

I think TO is an old guy that everyone pays their respect to and then ignores and carries on doing whatever they want, just like most other really old people. He just gets the blame because he's the public figurehead of the TC and will always support his people.

Great gif and movie ha

I've said this before but my honest guess is the rich people that were on team fire Frost didn't get their way. Like most rich people used to getting their way they got petty and started whining to everyone that would listen.

"Team save Frost threatened to pull their money!"

"TO was behind all of it!"

When in reality Turd had decided early on he was going to give him another shot after tweaking things.

Turd was 100% ready to fire him and had his replacement

Couple of things:

1. Is a potato a vegetable? Because I firmly believe TO to be on constant life support when not in front of a camera, and should be in the “vegetable” category at this point. I think a Potato is actually considered a “tuber” and not a vegetable. So I say NO POTATO, he’s more a sweet pea or stick of asparagus

2. Have we ruled out a father/son relationship for TO/SF? If this board existed in ‘96, I’m sure the rumors would’ve been that the only way Scott continues to start after the ASU loss is if Tommy O was slinging’ his seed from Hay Springs through Wood River down to ole Falls City for a couple years to cope with not winning a Natty in the ‘70s

3. The guy is loyal to a fault. What made him a great coach was that he always had his guys’ backs. Even when they were charged with murders He ain’t getting rid of that. People should start sending him quotes and just request permission to print - because he’s one of the most predictable interviews of all time at this point.

With regards to point 3, I think he just really liked to win. Getting rid of those players doesn't help with that. The further removed we are from him, the guy was a football genius, but he wasn't this saint a lot of people make him out to be.

Also what guy doesn't like porn, gambling and weed?

 

[Nelsonj22]

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

That's the story Mike513 put up on RSS, it didn't get deleted like every other thread about why Frost was kept.

I'd say that spoke volumes or Mike has pics of Dean and Mongo during pride week.

I believe TO and some of the biggest boosters were on team keep Frost. I believe some other big boosters were on Team Fire Frost. According to a friend of Trevs Turd was keeping Frost regardless of record as late as late September.

Any other information Dean or anyone else on the message boards hss is subject to who they're getting the information from. Short of me talking to someone I know that knows Turd telling me he changed his mind and was going to fire Frost skeptical.
