Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
See, I think prospective coaches would hear that and think. "You had that with Solich. You had that with Pelini. Callahan even had his moments."
I'd been drinking and wanted to see how far we could run out the analogy. In analogy, the absolute only reason you keep Frost is because financial limitations have made it that you can either eat shit next year or eat shit next year. If that's not the case, you go out and get SPAM for all I care because that's preferable to shit
I don't think that's necessarily unfair, but Solich was 4 or 5 Athletic directors ago and Bo had his other issues. You'd believe it will be good enough now because you get paid enough to make it worth your while and because we've had our expectations absolutely ground to dust over the last 7 years or so. There will always be the rub at programs that aspire to compete for titles where good coaches will plateau and never get over the hump, but Nebraska is so far removed from being that program that I think we can credibly say that "compete for the big ten west" is all we want for the next decade.
Who gives a shit?
it's baffling the things people are conjuring up to rationalize not making a move
Clawson has made every program better than when he took it over. The guy is a solid coach. Narduzzi probably could have even backed into a bowl or two at Nebraska. Both are better coaches than Frost. Both have beat teams with a pulse. Frost has never beat a good team. We aren’t talking about firing a 9 win coach like Pelini or Solich. I would get it if you wanted to wait for the right guy, but we are cellar dwellers in the whole BIG. You fire Frost and maybe you have to go with plan b,c,d etc. Maybe that hire will suck too, but you have to keep trying. Frost deserves no more time unless he miraculously pulls out 2 or 3 wins down the stretch.
A fair amount of Husker fans have went full retard trying to rationalize keeping a 15 win and soon to be 29 loss coach. People need to separate Frost the Husker legend as a player and Scott Frost one of the worst coaches in power 5 football.
O no. Please not the top of a dead money article.
It's not about an article. JFC. If you don't understand why a program that would be out $50 million in dead money (2x as much as anyone else) would have hesitancy about making a move, esp. coming off of a COVID year hit, I don't know what to fucking tell you.
That was me being an asshole. I get the financial ramifications of it. There really isn't any cognitive dissonance. The only thing that should, imo, save Frost's job at this point is winning out or the AD being so hard up for cash that they can't finance paying Frost and his replacement over 5 years. I'm not sure what's in it for Frost to restructure his deal, but maybe they can just fake it like they believe in him and they're not just hard up for cash (if they really do have a liquidity constraint)
This.
Why do you care what the AD does with its money? It’s not your $$. There are people that will pay whatever it takes to get the right person in here.
Major meltdown.
I'm ready for it. I'll go buy a 40, turn on some 90s husker highlights, and pour some out for the end of Nebraska as a program with expectations and then full embrace the shit housery of being a fan of a team that's hopeless, which I have lots of practice in with Nebrasketball
I don't know what I'll do. Probably just bitch on here about it but the rest of my life will be completely normal.
I don't really care what any school does with its money, but it's really just a basic liquidity constraint thing.
There are people that will pay whatever it takes for the athletic department to do what it wants, so you can stop worrying about it. Thanks.
