This is why Trev needs to offer Frost a 2 year extension with a 20% raise and another $5 mill on the buyout. Today. That will convince everyone that Frost is staying and get everyone back on board.
will someone please breakdown the vast experience Trev has in running a football program. .....
I've wondered this myself. It's reminiscent of all the confidence bestowed upon a 2 year G-5 head coach/former player that arrived here a few years ago.
That is Trev's job, to ensure the athletic programs are running as he sees fit. I believe he knows how a successful athletic program should run and he has options as to how he chooses to get the football program there. You don't have to be a Hall of Fame football coach to work through goal setting, efficiency, evaluations of assistants, holding other accountable, etc.
Not nearly enough improvement.
For the record, I don't have an opinion on firing or retaining him.
If TA pulls the plug I feel like Frost has had enough time and has come up short too often. If TA retaims him then I hope Frost 5th year is the year he puts a complete team together...coaches on down to kickers and everything in between.

But I think the question is where is your confidence coming from? What experience and success in this arena aside from a few years at UNO brings you to this belief?
if the head coach of a power 5 school making 5 million a year needs the AD to sit him down after 4 disgraceful years and walk him through these most basic tenets of leadership then there is no way he should see year 5. ... he should go down to D2 or take a volunteer gig at another program and this time try to pay attention to what makes other coaches successful
It’s really a catch 22, if he is retained then there must be changes. BUT, in that case we’re trying to sell open coaching positions for a program with a lame duck coach in a sense cus he won’t make it to a 6th year if we lay another egg in season 5.
Imo we are what we’re gonna be, I don’t need to see a season 5 for any more assurance that’s it’s time for a change.

He wasn’t at UNO a few years, he was there 12 years and I think he did a great job, like he has done in basically everything he’s tackled. I don’t think you need to have sat in the athletic department at Alabama to hold football coaches accountable. I feel good about Trev making this decision, apparently you don’t.
to me this is different from comparing the situation of Callahan needing a new def coordinator.
Frost is in charge of the offense - he has already had 2 off coordinators in 4 years.
a bunch of new offensive assistants isn’t addressing the problem
I don't really have an opinion either way. I was just wondering where all of the optimism is coming from given the lack of a bona-fide track record of coaching or administrative success at a major program. Not saying he can't. Just saying he never has. I hope he doesn't pull a switcheroo and eliminate the football program.
you iowa fans were optimistic about actually winning something this season, even though you never have
I get where you're coming from but there's NOTHING that would EVER make me want the Huskers to lose to Iowa, I respect the program to a small extent but they have the douchiest fans on Rivals by far.
TBH, I don't want to lose to and NEVER would want to lose to Wisconsin or Ohio St for ANYTHING either.
I guess I'm trying to say I understand where you are coming from but I don't agree with it one bit. And I'm good with Frost being fired, he's earned it. But I won't flip my **** if he's allowed one more year, IF he at least beats Iowa.
I think Trev should consider Chinander or Held for an interim to permanent head coach.
I think it's better to promote from within, and it keeps disruptions to a minimum. To me, there is nothing worse than hiring a new outside head coach and all the fallout that then happens with the entire staff turnover and change.
Erik, I believe has had full autonomy of the defense, and he's done a reasonably good job of not only recruiting to it but also player management. He has the same ideas as Frost, just better execution that I can tell. This also leads to less disruption.
Ryan Held is arguably the best recruiter on the staff, and this would follow Clemson's model of how they chose Dabo Sweeney as their new head coach. He was picked first and formost because he was the best recruiter on the staff.
Just a couple of ideas here, as I am not sure we need to burn it all down to the ground again, we just need to get the offense operating and the special teams and player management issues worked out.
I could see Chins taking over and see how he does overseeing the offensive side of the ball.
Four games isn't a lot, but it might give some insights before you have to make a more permanent decision.
