Why was this never addressed until he was fired? Maybe because it never happened. Easy to make stories up and pile on a guy. Frost may not of won but we don’t need to make stories up and kick a guy when he is down. Shame on severe.
Trying to short him the money would have given Scott a leg to stand on. Now, he has nothing. That 7.5 said more than any press conference.I think Alberts didn’t want the bad publicity of a dispute with Frost over the $7.5 million.
If any of this is true and is substantiated , firing with cause would have voided the buy out. My guess is the 2 party’s , Nebraska & Frost , agreed to walk away at the 7.5 million buyout figure.So you’re saying it’s true?
The Cornhusker story is true.
Being a P5 head coach is also ver demanding in terms of organization and attention to detail. Personality and charisma. X&Os. I think those things more than time put in are a bigger predictor of success.And if at the end of the day you aren't putting in the time or effort necessary or expecte of you to succeed at your current job, out you go. I get paid well enough for what I do, and I have the flexibility to leave early some days or knock off to play golf or start the weekend a few hours early now and then. But, I consistently put in plenty of hours throughout the week and year to exceed what is expected of me in my position. Yeah, most of us may get in late now and then, knock off early occasionally, take a short message board break here and there, but none of has a job paying $5MM that everyone knows requires almost 24/7 commitment, particularly at certain times of the year, in order to be successful. P5 head football coach is not a 40, 50 even 80 hour a week job. It takes literally 12 to 18 hour days, 6 to 7 hours a week (particularly July to end of signing period) and there is no reason we shouldn't expect that of those who chose of their own free will to take the kind of money he accepted knowing full well that is what is required to be succesful.
Or none of it’s true……maybe he tried and just lostIf any of this is true and is substantiated , firing with cause would have voided the buy out. My guess is the 2 party’s , Nebraska & Frost , agreed to walk away at the 7.5 million buyout figure.
I hate it when people have fun.It's one thing for the fans to throw out rumors and you discount them, it quite another when you have sports talk people telling us we've had a problem for years with our HC. It all comes down to maturity and after watching Frost slide down the railing outside Memorial Stadium I started having questions about Frosts maturity.
Winning is what got him here.Great stories but bottom line is winning. If Frost was winning 10 to 13 games a year and winning BCS Bowls and had us as a top 5 team yearly, do you think people would care about the stories? Losing to GA Southern and a bunch of weak Big 10 West teams and never showing any improvement is why Frost is unemployed.
Theses stories have been circulating for some time. He ultimately got fired because of the W/L though.
This last loss and the W/L gave the opening but make no mistake Severe is right. It was “all of it”.
This. Nothing excuses what frost did or didnt do while he was here, but severe can go ahead and piss off. It doesnt take much of a man to know this stuff, sit on it, and then pile jump after the fact for attention, because this is exactly what this is from severe: attention seeking. Media people have a necessary job to do, but nobody is going to get on a microphone and air Severe’s dirty laundry over the airwaves. I would have a lot more respect for him if he said this while frost was still coach. Now? It doesnt really matter much. And he is also leaving a door open for rumors to circulate that may not be true by being generic in some of his statements.You're pretty much a ***** media member if you knew these things and didn't report on them.
Oh it's true, too many former players corroborating. What's more likely? They're making things up for no reason? Or they've been concerned by erratic behavior by a former teammate? Gee, I wonder.Or none of it’s true……maybe he tried and just lost
Prove it.Boosters and Tom wanted him to give him this year with a much easier schedule.
Ohhhh share the dirt! Tweets or just sort of vague radio stuff?Oh it's true, too many former players corroborating. What's more likely? They're making things up for no reason? Or they've been concerned by erratic behavior by a former teammate? Gee, I wonder.
Trev said yesterday they were playing the full buyout, did I miss somethingIf any of this is true and is substantiated , firing with cause would have voided the buy out. My guess is the 2 party’s , Nebraska & Frost , agreed to walk away at the 7.5 million buyout figure.
Is there proof of this? Spread itOh it's true, too many former players corroborating. What's more likely? They're making things up for no reason? Or they've been concerned by erratic behavior by a former teammate? Gee, I wonder.
Yeah. Spread the news. This is the good stuffOhhhh share the dirt! Tweets or just sort of vague radio stuff?
No lie, I LOVE this stuff.
Yep. By definition, you know who else wasnt doing his job, besides scott frost??It'd be nice if one person had just said "eff it, go ahead and fire me" but...people like having jobs.
Exactly. All this big talk now, even if true it’s so passive aggressive or lame - not sure what this after the fact stuff is . Talk the truth when you have it…don’t bring it to me after it doesn’t matter anymoreThis. Nothing excuses what frost did or didnt do while he was here, but severe can go ahead and piss off.

I much prefer Trev’s approach of what he said in the press conference. “I‘m not going to pile on scott, its over and time to move on”.
Here we go with the “I don’t like it, so I need the media to report it” excuses. Like clockwork around hereProve it.
Here comes the nameless “friend” I’m guessing.
This is a great thread. It's got a little of everything all at one time.
Only thing it's missing is Boris the Cockhammer.
No, you need to prove it. Maybe trev just sucks at his job. I find it very hard to believe there werent boosters who wanted frost gone, too.Here we go with the “I don’t like it, so I need the media to report it” excuses. Like clockwork around here
It’s a message board. F**k do you want that citation in MLA or APANo, you need to prove it. Maybe trev just sucks at his job. I find it very hard to believe there werent boosters who wanted frost gone, too.
And the Tom excuse? Here we go, like clockwork around here!
Typed while furiously FrosturbatingNo, you need to prove it. Maybe trev just sucks at his job. I find it very hard to believe there werent boosters who wanted frost gone, too.

They were threatened from day 1, you think they are gonna risk upsetting the simps in our state and fanbase by going against the “Osborne and Frost are Gods” mindset? Lol. The people claiming this is not true, are the same ones that ***** whenever a media member doesn’t pump nothing but sunshine up their ***.To bad these other sports radio stations just beat around the bush and give small tidbits they need to give full disclosure
Got a lot of time on your hands, eh Scott?Why was this never addressed until he was fired? Maybe because it never happened. Easy to make stories up and pile on a guy. Frost may not of won but we don’t need to make stories up and kick a guy when he is down. Shame on severe.
Severe doesn’t make crap up. He would have never lasted in radio if he did. He’s a good dude who finally isn’t shackled by hosting Big Red Wrap anymore or worrying about losing advertisersWhere is the proof Mr. Severe? Who are the witnesses? Probably here-say. You probably just want to get the advertisers money and make your pound of flesh. Sounds like the National Inquirer...
Bingo. He’s one of the bigger doofus out there.It's funny that Feit acts like he would’ve sounded the alarm if he had this kind of info. He would've kept his mouth closed like everyone else.
He could have just….you know….hired him as head coach then.Trev had to get his interim head coach in first…
Troy Dumas has alluded to what Severe said today a couple times.Where is the proof Mr. Severe? Who are the witnesses? Probably here-say. You probably just want to get the advertisers money and make your pound of flesh. Sounds like the National Inquirer...
There’s been rumblings from former players for a couple of yearsTroy Dumas has alluded to what Severe said today a couple times.
I think he still hosts it actually.Severe doesn’t make crap up. He would have never lasted in radio if he did. He’s a good dude who finally isn’t shackled by hosting Big Red Wrap anymore or worrying about losing advertisers
