It's Solich all over again. He fired 6 to save his ***. It worked for a year. Then he was fired. Buying time and saving money. All it is.
Nah, Solich fired guys he had worked with for years and those guys were good at their jobs.

Why would the firing of these assistants upset anyone? People have been calling for everyone of them to be gone almost all season.
This.. this board is bipolar, schizophrenic and paranoid all at once. Firing your friends is no fun and given that he is staying, it had to be done.

I think most people simply feel Frost is the problem and this solves nothing.

Frost should be fired, but he isnt a weasle for doing this. He would be insane for not doing it and it should have been part of the deal of bringing him back.

I just don’t understand how this doesn’t end badly?
1: as mentioned, who comes here for a 1 year experiment?
2: are we changing schemes? If so do we have players to win with this new scheme in 1 year?
3: so are we a portal QB team? What type of qb do we need to run this new O?
4: suppose magic happens and frost wins 7-8 games next year? And then reverts back to his mean the following year…. We’re in same boat
5: how intact is our D next year? If the answer is “not so much” it won’t matter how good the O is
So my worry now is, if he goes 6-6 next year will those in power say “steady improvement over 2021? If he doesn’t win all winnable games next year and 1 we shouldn’t win. OUT! Eight or out!

No. I don't know. Who is the ST coach? Do we even have one?
Dawson. What we don’t know is what the plan going forward is. If it is to hire a dedicate ST guy, there is no reason to fire Dawson. Let him focus on OLB. I do think we have 1 to many D coaches, but hey, I don’t know the plan.

If NU does NOT hire a ST coach of high quality, then there is no plan. If there is one area screaming for huge improvement, its the Special Teams.

The sooner NU quits giving games away, the sooner they stand to win some real close games.

OSU field goal kicker is 14-14. I'd settle for 10-14 and kick 100% from 40 yards on in.

This is not a good year to hire a new coach.

USC
LSU
maybe Florida
maybe Penn St
maybe Mich St

jobs will be open and searching for a new coach. Where in the pecking order would Nebraska be?

Should hire Tom Herman to be OC, he has a history of recruiting Texas and has had success in the Big Ten.

He have one on staff already. Bill busch. With they would have made him one of the assistants, just to coach ST and recruit

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???
I don’t understand this reaction. I don’t care who decided. I just think it had to be done. I’ve been reading on this very Board for months how the quarterback coach needs to be fired. Austin has been getting his fair share of criticism too. I thought this would make people happy. I was surprised when Frost hired Lubick. Living here in Washington, Lubick was not very well liked by the Husky fans during his short term at U Dub. Nor did he have much success. I don’t think he showed anything during his time in Lincoln. I always thought Ryan Held was one of Frost’s best friends. His firing is the one that surprised me. I guess it shouldn’t because it seems to me that we have some very good backs that have not performed anywhere near their potential. I’ve always found the running back rotation baffling going back to the first year when it took this staff three or four games before they started using the best back at the time, Devine Ozigbo.

Yes, you are correct. And how many years have posters been calling for changes? Did that just start in year four of pathetic play? No - it was already being sounded in year two. Frost observed the lack of progress from these coaches for FOUR seasons and nothing was done. Changes happened only when Frost was offered the option of the door or make changes.

The problem I have is with the dunce who watched the crap from this JV staff and did nothing until forced. This year he has been touting how close this team is and how much he loves everyone. When a person says that a team is SO CLOSE - does it make any sense that you fire nearly the entire offensive staff?

So yes - the right choices were made - but not by the man they should have been made by. Therefore, my confidence in Frost remains as low as it has been for the past two years. He is a blind man just covering his *** like Solich and Riley before him.

This is a shakeup......The current offense is not working
The offense works quite well except the red zone and when the QB has to make a play under pressure. Not that hard to fix those 2 things in todays college football world.

The bigger thing to fix is the OL We may soon know if we had bad coaching or way less talent then we thought.

Getting rid of your assistants has turned around so many programs that underachieve. I mean there are just so many instances that I can't come up with one name right now.

Frank Solich at Nebraska. We went from 7-7 to 10-3 the next season. Bo came in and had the defense rolling!

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…
Sure I married a 3, but after seeing your 7 every Wednesday at Noon, I'm a mathematician's Dozen.

I'm still pissed about him whacking Uncle Milty. He was the best O line coach in CFB history.
Milt was having a hard time getting around..Tougher for him to get on planes and recruit and he was even taking a golf cart to practice to get around..

I think Milt knew it was time to retire too..

The incompetence of the OL coach was underrated. The talent of the OL was overrated. Bad combo.

I don't see how this can be seen as anything other than to provide a built-in excuse for losing to Wisconsin and Iowa and going 3-9 again.
You serious? Damn dude, try thinking a bit harder. You really think Alberts is worried about the final two games in the grand scheme? The answer is "no".

This was all about lowering Frost's buyout dramatically so that if a year from now things are still not good the financial hit won't be as hard.

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.
You can't be serious with this above statement! What kind of spin on reality is this? If SF didn't fire them, something the fan base has been saying needs to happen all season long, TA would have fired them all post season. SF saved the majority of his staff , took a pay cut along with a buyout cut to show he wants the best for this team. The problem you have is it didn't go the way you felt it should so now your all concerned for the four guys that needed to get the axe. Four guys the fanbase have been saying needs to go.

He made the neccesarry changes that other coaches haven't been willing to do in the past. You can't have change without changing things. Let's get behind him and see what happens
This is it! I laugh at the narrative as a completed pass in the end zone and a couple honorable mention running backs changes it all! Yes I laugh at myself as it all is anger over a game and a football over the goal line! Qback coach, running back coach, receiving coach, offensive line coach, all were needing better results! If one doesn't notice that, then you haven't been paying attention!

Not sure. But whatever they got tagged for in the off-season with the ST advisor obviously wasn't worth it. Lol. We can't even cheat right to our advantage.
Special teams wasn't bad. The specialists were not good.

Don’t really see a large exit of offensive players on the horizon. And if so, would that be a bad thing? Look at the biggest contributors from those coaches who were fired. WR - Toure (1st year in the program) RB - Ervin, Yant, and Rahmir (mostly first years) OL - Teddy and Jurgens (no development in upper classmen besides Jurgens) and QB - Adrian has regressed every year in the program.

Get some assistants who might actually be able to use the extra size, intelligence, and strength that comes with two to three years of training.
