there's already a lengthy thread about it. The same whiners who are first to declare "there has to be coaching changes" are whining about. I love it. Change the national narrative so we can finish this recruiting class.
early signing date is coming up and that "coaches hot seat list" named him. Schools were using it against us in recruiting. I think it was a proactive move by our administration to help recruiting and I applaud it. The boosters of substance and the BOR helped it happen. We've got our guy. We've got to do everything in our power to help him be successful.
It will be a multi million dollar mistake when you have to fire him and buy out the remainder of his contract.
For not being relevant or a threat you herkies like living on our board. You guys are just sad. Get a life.RollingLaugh
First of all, it won't happen. Second of all, the boosters who pushed for it don't care about the money. It's pocket change. Go back to your own board.
Two coaches were fired this month after less than 2 years on the job. The amount of negative recruiting against any coach that struggles in this impetuous climate requires extensions like this. Plus if/when he starts winning they won't have to extend him at an exorbitant price and might get a break on his salary because they were loyal.
Not really. With the bad record I think it's important to get it done (extension) now. He had a 7 year contract. Usually you extend multiple year contracts every year or every other year. Sends a positive message to recruits that all is well and they can assume coach will be there all 4-5 years. Although getting canned is always an option.
What is your problem? Desperation? Really? Please tell us why that is a desperate move.
Maybe it was. Maybe representing the University in the right way is very important to the BOR and the boosters of substance. Maybe they like the freshman class he signed last year and the offense he's playing. Sure there's some issues but the powers that be like the steps being taken to get us where we want to be. Money talks and what Green, Moos and the BOR just did SPEAKS LOUDLY.
I don’t think any other programs were trying to pull him away at this point? He’s coming off of two losing seasons I don’t know what else it could be besides desperate. He definitely wasn’t going anywhere after all he came home there was no urgency to sign an extension
So by saying we need to ride it out with Frost..,.. does that mean
On your last sentence, you probably would win the argument. Coach Frost would probably have the worst record of those.
Fair. I don’t know it’s Frost’s fault, per se. I’ll just continue to support him and the team. And drown my sorrows with bourbon. And by huffing paint and glue.
Not two losing seasons. Yet. Hawks may want to be wary of this Nebraska team. Should Nebraska beat Maryland, we’ll then be playing the role of spoiler come our meeting.
"We are literally 3 drives away from having 3 more wins."
I believe you hit it on the nose with the extension being a counter move to the negative recruiting. The other “maybe” reasons you presented are not supported by evidence. If the BOR really wanted to keep Frost due to his recruiting or scheme then they would have waited until the season was completed. The record with 1-3 additional losses would have given them leverage for a better deal.
I don't think there was much negotiation needed for the "deal". I believe they just continued the current contract with the same escalators. It really isn't complicated. IF Green, the BOR and the boosters of substance didn't believe strongly that Frost is the long term solution, there's no way they extend his contract.
Again, evidence doesn’t support your claim. I believe we can all recall previous coaches who received contract extensions only to have those contracts terminated.
We'll see how much heart Stanley has against your BLACKSKIRTS in two weeks. It's not going to go well for you in another 4-8 season.
Negative recruiting isn't effective. 4-8 is all the negative recruiting teams need. It's stupid and short sighted to extend somebody's contract just because of negative recruiting. Bring in some coaches that will actually maximize the talent we do have. Instead of handing out an undeserved extension, use that money to bring in some top coordinators who can get this thing turned around.
