Adam Carriker interview

Involved with is a little strong. He got taken in by someone posing as a charity. He suffered as much damage from that as anybody.
Interesting he mentioned how former players were still unhappy about the “closet” incident with frost.
On the thread about this at the time I can remember so OP that were not happening with AC as well.
I don’t believe Frost will be excepted like Frank Solich was back in April..
Be surprised if he ever comes back to Lincoln to be recognized as player/ head coach..

As I said back then and will still say. SF was already a confusing subject before he came back to coach.
In truth while he is from Nebraska he is the least Nebraska person I have ever seen. Especially being raised in western Nebraska.
How so? Frost loves chew, pheasant hunting, football, and beer. And apparently attractive women. What's more Nebraskan than that? Yeah, he's cocky and kind of a douche, but so are a lot of people.
Unfortunate, but probably true. Can’t think of scenario where it would make sense, or a scenario where SF would want to. Possibly something like the 40th anniversary of the 97’ championship. IDK, maybe enough time will have passed by then.
As someone raised in Scottsbluff, I take offense to someone calling Wood River "western Nebraska"...
Wood River is at MM 300 on I-80. Way more east than west. Prior to moving there, the Frosts were in McCook
I think of western Nebraska as sandhill country. Wood river is southern or platte river country.
Been a long time since I’ve had to remind myself of the Wood River speed trap on I-80. South central would be the most accurate depiction of Wood River

I remember in the early 80s when there was a little traction for the Nebraska panhandle to succeed to Wyoming. Never really got too far, but to be honest, western Nebraska has a lot more in common with Wyoming than it does with eastern Nebraska.
Much as I hate to say it, the day will come when Coach Osborne will pass. In a circumstance like that, I think Husker fans would be willing to accept SF back as a former player despite his dismal coaching record here.
How many of us would not expect him to return to honor Coach?
Meh not wanting to play for Nebraska and instead went to Stanford. Hid in a closet, installed a finesse based west coast offense, finger pointing, not being a hard worker, I can go on.
It wasn’t so much about not wanting to play for Nebraska as it being a QB who wanted to play for Bill Walsh and get a Stanford degree. I think that’s very understandable. Obviously that didn’t work out for him for several reasons out of his control. He could have gone somewhere else but he chose to come home to Nebraska. It probably would have been easier for him if he had gone elsewhere.
As far as TOs comments on Frost, would’ve suited better if he said sometimes things just don’t work out. Frost could have done from the get go what Rhule is doing. Humility is a more likable trait than arrogance
Tom’s old and frail. Of course he’s going to offer excuses for his hand picked hire. Moos just did what he was told to do. Make no mistake, he was one of the main reasons Scott took the NU job.
I can’t bring myself to like your post - but I agree, be better TO - every coach had to deal with COVID and blaming MR for failures in year one was a ***** move and to be doing it 3 years later was an utter disgrace.
Asking TO to slag Frost publicly is a little like asking a dad to denounce his son in public. But keep Riley out of the excuses. The dude had a nine win season and may have won 6 or more the next season had he simply told Eichorst he wasn't going to can Banker. He had the players to execute a competent 4-3 defense. And he wasn't a weirdo like Diaco. Frost took Riley's roster and proceeded to flatline.
Screw Carriker he promoted and sold tickets on his website to what ended up being scam. He then took no responsibility for the thousands of dollars people lost that they paid directly to his website. Then whenever anyone would ask him about it he would block them.
It's always been disappointing when a highly regarded Nebraska kid goes out of state, but back when Frost did it it was practically viewed as treasonous.
Then he comes back when things didn't work out and he resurfaces in the middle of the LP nightmare. It was hard for me to cheer for the guy when he started playing.
He sure was a tough-as-nails QB, though.
I agree. The comparison to Solich is not a good one. Frost has never been a fan of the Nebraska fan and it has been that way since he was a player. And his behavior while coach here did not win him any points with the fans either. I think he will be more than happy to never set foot inside Memorial stadium again and I think very few fans will miss him. I wish him well. But as far as I am concerned he is nothing to us now.
I agree with this too. It was a transparent attempt at click bait ratings for Carriker to ask Osborne about Frost. What the hell did he think Osborne would say? He certainly was not going to be able to be blunt and to point out the real issues while still remaining kind to Frost. And so he was forced into the silly nonsense of blaming Riley and Covid. Bad questions from Carriker for whom I have little respect.
I mean, that’s a little harsh. At the very least, he is the absolute worst head coach that has ever walked the sidelines.
