It's a good read. Clearly Trev is having a major impact in good ways and you can tell it's already paying off. Good things coming in the near future.
Quotes so nothing is taken out of context:
"We've been close for a while," Frost said. "We're really close now. We've got a team that can compete with just about anybody. Then, once you've built that team, it's learning how to win, then it's learning how to handle winning. We're right in the middle of all that."
"The programs that are successful, it's not just XYZ coach is so successful," Alberts said. "It is an athletic department, university-wide culture commitment, unity of purpose. I'm not sure that Scott was the beneficiary of that necessarily."
Alberts continued, saying, "Cultural things don't get flipped overnight, that's the hard thing. There's got to be a consistency in approach not just from the head football coach. It's got to start right here. I'm accountable to it, too. A place like this, if you're not careful, you can get comfortable and lethargic and entitled. That's not what this place was built on."
"To me, fundamentals can be taught, the hardest thing about flipping a culture is getting guys to be willing to lay it on the line when you really don't want to. We have that. Even in those games we lost, those guys are fighting and that is the most important thing. You have to start with the fight. We're not intimidated or scared, and then we're taking incremental steps in those key areas like special teams and penalties and turnovers. You're always going to have mistakes. It's part of the game, but it can't define who you are."
Frost echoed those comments, saying, "The sense of positivity, the confidence of the players, the physicality of the players, it just feels different. I had this conversation with the players last week -- there's been so many problems to fix, I think we've been focusing so much on fixing, fixing, fixing that fixated us on problems. That's changing."
Asked whether he believes Frost is the person to lead Nebraska forward, Alberts said, "I do. I'm proud of Scott. Scott's working really hard, and I've seen Scott grow and mature. The reality is none of us are finished products. If we get everybody operating from their position of strength, we're going to be pretty good. I'm not sure administratively we always were helpful in that area, and that's my job."
