Nebraska has to be the easiest team for an opposing coach to prepare for. Just hang around long enough, keep it close and wait for the guaranteed giveaway fuck up. Boom. Victory.

True, but he really didn't win enough.

Turd isn’t going to fire Frost in year one. Frost may deserve it, but Turd preserves another year for Scott. Especially given the soft schedule next year.
We will see at least 3 assistant coaches shown the door and Martinez processed.
Scott gets one year of Turd running everything outside of on field coaching.
Scott delivers this next season or else.

Cosgrove had produced two top 30 scoring defenses the two years prior to Callahan's last season. Callahan was never given the option to change DCs when it was clear something wasn't working.

The difference is Callahan is Callahan and Frost is Frost. Does Frost deserve it? Absolutely not. Does his name and context give him that leash? Absolutely.

I think this is the scenario that plays out as well.

This is my guess too. Honestly I DO see some attitude type problems being ironed out since Turd arrived, I think he believes he can work with Frost to get things on the right track. I never would've guessed this at the time, but it would've been nice to have Turd as AD doing some hand-holding since day 1. I don't know if Frost is capable of being what we all hoped he would be, but I don't think it would've become such a shit show.

What would it take for Frost to have a successful year next year, if retained? I guess that is my ultimate question. And I think it all starts with Frost showing some major humility.
I think it would require cleaning house on the offensive side of the ball (except for maybe Beckton), hiring a full-time special teams coach, and Frost giving up play calling. I know there has been some discussion about how assistants may not be willing to come here to go down on a “sinking ship”, but I think with enough money, most assistants would be willing to move (as long as not a lateral move) as most seem ego and financially driven and would think they could help “fix” a program.
I also think that when looking at Frost’s buyout, you can make an easy argument to increase the assistant salary pool. $5 million isn’t a small amount, but Michigan State’s is $6 million, and a top school like Bama is almost $8 million. Removing Lubick, Held, Austin, and Verduzco and adding just $1 million would leave $2.8 million for 4 new coaches. Frost could replace Verduzco. Someone like Busch could become special teams coach/recruiting coordinator for $700k. Also, if someone like Fisher ended up leaving, Busch could also step into a DB coach role, along with Chins.
Then you have $700k per coach average to hire the best RB, WR, and OL coach - one of whom would be OC and be allowed to call plays. I know it probably wouldn’t be well received, but hell Ron Brown could be RB or WR coach and would likely take much less than $700k (and his players were almost always well coached), allowing for a bigger splash at OC.
Unfortunately, I feel like we will instead see minimal changes and more of the same, just delaying the inevitable firing.

Record wise, I completely agree. No more just getting to a bowl game. Need to compete for the west at a bare minimum.
