Scott Frost is a weasel.

This was a ultimatum.. You either make changes immediately if you want to be here next year..

I’m not worried about the next 2 games ..I’m worried about the next 2 years..
We just bought two or three more years of horrid football. This is a stupid decision by Trev and indicates he was a poor hire too. Have fun with those shiny new facilities boys along with the empty stadium. This is my lowest point as a Husker fan, ever. This decision guarantees a disinterested and disgusted fan base. I won’t watch these last two games and I doubt I will set foot in memorial stadium again. This feels like the final straw for me. At age 63 it is probably time to stop investing emotion and time in a useless endeavor.

Nice try. But way off. Our recruiting class sucks and we need a better staff, keeping poor assistants to keep a couple three stars
isn’t the answer.
He could always do the Mel Tucker/Bill Snyder approach this year. Not really too late for that yet.

Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.


Because they feel like Scott should be gone also. I don't think most would argue that those assistants deserved to be fired. That said the guys who are bothered by it feel that outside of Lubick who only had two years these decisions should have been made already. When Walters was fired those guys should've went also. By waiting two more years and two more losing seasons it comes across like you didn't have a feel for what's holding your offense back .

But at the end of the day we have seen Walters and now Lubick as OC with pretty similar results. Some would tell you it's because Scott is true OC and the common denominator of both those guys. Add to the fact that he's retained many will feel as though HE and his offense may be the problem.

Id be more apt to give him the benefit of the doubt if he gave up his control of the offense. I don't think however that he will do that. We will see I guess....

We've lost tons of games by one score.
We got rid of the coaches for the position groups responsible.
If we have even slight improvement in those position groups, we would have beat a handful of top 15 teams this year.
I'm not following your logic.

The only hope really is that somehow he does give up control of the offense, and clearing out the offensive staff is intended to entice a decent OC to take the job. But you know what they say about hope: it’s what you cling to when reality leaves you no other option.

Maybe he can get Helfrich to be the OC.

Tough day for the OP.
On a scale of 1-10, many people strive for at least a 7 in finding a spouse, career, fill in the blank. It’s amazing how many here seem to be fine settling for a 3 - not on a scale of 10, but on a scale of 12. Let’s just say I’m glad I don’t have to see what you and others settled on in those other categories…

Only thing I dont understand is why now? Wait til the end of the season. Who is going to fill in these spots for 3 weeks?

Im with ya. I get making the announcement to keep Frost now (even if I don’t agree with it), but I don’t understand letting the assistants go now.

The more I think about it, the more I think you may be right about the assistants.

it's an easy way to reduce the salaries being paid out. The next round of hires will be at much lower values in my opinion.
Might be just the opposite. In order to attract quality coaches with the notion they may only be here a year or two, it'll have to be worth their while. Meaning they will demand more than just average pay.

There's 2 games left in the season and we're told "they're close". So why punt on the last 2 games of the season by firing the entire offensive staff when "they're close" unless it's to provide cover for losing out? Is it because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to still say "they're close" when they lose out?
Not hard to figure this out.

How would have most reacted on this day had they been told Frost was being retained and no changes were announced at all?

Alberts knew some heads had to roll today-- just not Frost's. This was to appease the fans that would feel nothing at all being done.

On top of this clearly there were going to be changes happening to the staff anyway so why not just pull the trigger now?

Because firing the assistants is like taking a pain killer to make that throbbing in your arm go away when you're having a heart attack.

I guess it's better than nothing but really does nothing about the actual issue.

That is cute that you think it was Scottie’s decision to fire them…
It's cute you care. 4 coaches most people wanted gone are gone, and people are bitching about it. If they were retained, the same group would still be bitching about it. Who gives a crap how it happened (which, by the way, you don't know anyway).

So you really believe Scott decided today - all on his own without any conversations with Trev - to let four assistants go two weeks before the end of the season? Really???

Just sharing the tweet. My guesss is Trev wanted to see a clear plan or else and this is what SF came up with.

Was Frost suppose to fire himself? I want him gone, but since he’s not. These all seem like needed moves.
im with you I wanted frost gone but hear is something to think about maybe trev didn’t have his man, we sure don’t need a repeat of Steve Pedersen debacle, maybe trev was told he didn’t have to 20 million for the buy out

I'm confused. Haven't most on here been begging for these guys to be fired for multiple seasons? Now that he does it, he's a weasel?
Yea you’re confused. The people bitching about today’s firings are the people who wanted Frost fired. They are mad that they were wrong.

Pretty sure you can go to the main board and find a pic of my wife. I didn't settle. Plus she and I both have good jobs.

Nobody is settling for what we’ve been the last 5 years. People in favor of keeping him believe it’s the best path forward to get out of this rut.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing with that opinion, but again, nobody is settling for losing records.

There's no way in hell Frost will be able to hire solid replacements. They would have to expect a 1 year job than fired with Frost.

This was a power play by the administration to reduce Frost's buyout substantially, in return for giving him another year.

What does Scott do? he fires the guys that really weren't responsible for his failed offensive player and roster management, to pretend he is going to make changes to get it done.

Sadly, stupid people, and there are many in the world, will see this narrative and buy it.

The reality is, neither party did anything to better Husker football. They both lined their pocketbooks, and have new narratives to sell to the fans.

I feel bad for those coaches that got let go.

Scott is a piece of garbage in my book.

The players deserve better as do the fans.
He's a piece of garbage for making the hard call of shaking is staff up? So is Dan Mullen a piece of garbage then too? Was Solich a piece of garbage when he did it when he was here? Is Nick Saban a piece of garbage ? This is a part of the game. If anything he didn't fire a couple of them soon enough. A couple of his assistants were not ready to develop players for a high level of BIG10 football.

No. I don't know. Who is the ST coach? Do we even have one?

we don’t have one. Shocking, I know. But those special teams kids seem to grasp the concept of being special all on their own and don’t need any help with it.

Karma for booing Scott Frost back in 1996.
