I still can't believe they're bringing back a coach that loses nearly 2 out of every 3 games for a 5th season.

Shouldn't have fired Frank.

Shouldn't have fired Callahan

Shouldn't have fired Pelini, muttered something stupid about Iowa and then hire a career .500 coach (the real day husker football died)

Should have fired Frost after the Purdue game (pick a year)

Can’t afford to fire him. We painted ourselves in to a corner financially and will have to endure this one more year.
Don’t buy the financial part of it. 20 Million is chump change compared to what the program brings in annually. It’s due to Frost’s history as QB and connection with Osborne. As Trev said he’s a brother.

Exactly, they have 8 figure surpluses every single season. If they wanted to make a change, they could. They've decided we'll lose with the "Nebraska guy" instead of trying something different. God do I hope Trev and the powers that be change their mind and dump this 34% loser.

Will see if Trev gets enough angry boosters over the next couple days, but still I think we have another year of him unfortunately.

History of hiring/firing hasn’t worked. Competitive team with a ridiculous schedule. Native son. There’s little downside to one more year. Next years schedule is far more manageable. If he can’t get it done, it’s over. May not be popular, but it’s probably the right decision.

the problem is that he set the bar so low that 7-5 in year 5 will qualify as getting it done

Maybe. But this program can’t recover from losing a recruiting class every 4 years due to firing coaches. 7-5 May not be awesome, but we’ve tried hitting the reset button in the past and it doesn’t work. We need stability as long as it shows promise.

This year’s recruiting class is???? In the 80’s for a ranking?

Just curious. What is getting it done mean to you?

We invent new ways to lose via special teams every week!

frank - 75%,
bill - 55%,
bo - 71%,
mike - 50%,
scott - 34%.
It's pretty hard to convince us that a guy who's crapped away four consecutive years is suddenly going to turn us into one of the best teams in the Big ten. It's not in him. He doesn't know what he's doing!

We may very well have a losing season nxet year to but at least we'll only be paying 4mil for that privilege instead of 5. So there's that.

Your expectations being bottom of the barrel are part of the problem. The recruiting class is going to be bad because we are keeping a 3-9 coach. Hiring the right guy would give us a much better class. 6 wins being fine in year 5 is awful and embarrassing. That is far worse than a coaching change
