I think TA told Frost that if he anything less than 6-1 after 7 games he is unemployed. 6 of the first 7 games next year are very winnable. I think as soon as Frost has a 2 in the loss column next year in the first 7 games he is gone.
About to keep a 3-9 coach...
- Thread starter Rushmorehusker
- Start date
It is possible, but man firing a coach who was 5-2 early in the season would unleash a sh## storm of public ridicule on Nebraska. I think one of two things will happen next year. We'll either look much better and be beating the teams we should or we'll have a bunch of close losses again. I think the choice will be very clear by the time we reach the middle of October.
Can’t make any predictions on next year till we see who the new coaches are and a not Martinez at QB..
They compete enough to keep it close and not get embarrassed. That's all this team cares about. They don't give a **** about winning. Want proof? Just look at every opportunity we have a chance to take a lead and put our foot on the pedal, instead they play with **** effort and act like it was some major accomplishment just that they got to that point. This didn't just happen in the Wisconsin game, it's happened multiple times this season, and several times in prior seasons. It's not just that they don't know how to win, they don't care to win either.
Oklahoma and Michigan will be very tough. 5-2 is very possible though. Four challenging Big Ten West games following that. 8-4 would be a good result. Maybe 9-4 with the bowl game for Excellence Demanders.
9-4 isn't up to the old Husker standard, but would be a major improvement from a 3 or 4 win season. And you have to learn to walk before you can learn to run.
"Troy has fired Chip Lindsey as its head football coach, the school announced. Lindsey went 15-19 in his three seasons at Troy, including 5-6 this season."
15-19 is not acceptable at Troy but 15-28 is good enough for a 5th season at Nebraska.

Peanuts compared to SF..
Now that Mullin is fired there are a lot of sharks in sea for head coaches..
Every year, they're finishing with a surplus of money. If they wanted a new coach, they could've gotten one.
They could have BUT would it have been financially prudent or even necessary? It seems that the powers that be think this train wreck can be fixed with some major staff changes on offense. I think it's logical versus canning Frost and trying to find a new head coach in this freaking CRAZY market.
Troy should be used to being 15-19 or worse. They are a punching bag like Fordham and Buffalo."Troy has fired Chip Lindsey as its head football coach, the school announced. Lindsey went 15-19 in his three seasons at Troy, including 5-6 this season."

Did Chip Lindsey win a NC as the qb for Troy?"Troy has fired Chip Lindsey as its head football coach, the school announced. Lindsey went 15-19 in his three seasons at Troy, including 5-6 this season."

He isn't wrong....but how long are we supposed to wait till we finally arrive.
The Frost era has been maddening. Hopefully he gets it done next season.
I know and I agree. Us being a very good football team next year is attainable, no idea if we actually do it.
This year would have been the perfect year to can the loser ginger and get a real head coach. A Mullen or Herman led offense would obliterate the Big 10 West. Pair them with a solid DC, we're in the Big 10 championship game more often than not. We ****** up big time keeping the perennial loser around and it's going to have consequences that last several years and may never recover from.
One donor paid the $95M. Stupid investment and Midnight Mel will be gone within five years.
Neither of those coaches really like to run the football, much less run any option, so you'd have a hard time getting either approved by the "run the dam ball" Cleti that is Nebraska football.
Mullen was getting his *** handed to him at Florida. What makes you think he can get it done in the recruiting wasteland known as Nebraska?
On paper, Florida seems like it would be a great job - the top school (and only one in the SEC) in the top recruiting state in the country - but it seems like a lot of coaches have failed there - the fact that two GREAT coaches (Spurrier and Meyer) did well there doesn't exactly prove to me that a less stellar coach can succeed there. Ron Zook failed, Will Muschamp failed, Jim McElwain failed; Mullen was at least impressive at Mississippi State - I would not be upset if him or Tom Herman were hired to succeed Frost (I'd like to see what either of those two men could do at schools with a less chaotic coaching carousel than Texas or Florida before writing either of them off).
Yeah for people saying nebraska recycles coaches too often, they only need to look at florida. Mcelwain got less than 3 years despite two division championships. Mullen is out despite three solid years before this one. Zook got less than 3 years.
The next Florida coach is going to have an ENORMOUS buyout. Like, $25-30 million. I am not exaggerating.
Firing coaches every time you do laundry is going to cost you.

Man you're talking no state taxes on 10+ MM dollar contracts with lottery numbers for buyouts....also state tax free.
