So let's go back to last year when the existing contract was renegotiated....both sides had to have some pressure to engage as well as some benefit to realize with the revised contract.
Trev (UNL) had pressure to engage because of the continuous lack of winning and strong evidence of poor coaching.
Frost held most of the cards with the favorable terms of his buyout. He didn't need to engage, but he did. We can assume he really wanted another chance to avoid going out on bad terms.
There is also, or even "more-likely", that another party had influence that brought both sides to the table...... cough cough Tom Osborne.
So the new terms are agreed upon with some give and take on both sides.
1) why would Frost give up so much $$$?
2) who was behind the revamped offense? If not Frost, why would he agree?
3) allegedly a high bar was set for 2022, why would Frost agree to such a metric with so many uncertainties?
4) what is Frost's upside to the October buyout reduction? Seems odd to have that stuck in the middle of the season.
5) what does Trev gain from that reduction aside from more cash for the next guy? Seems like he had a choke hold on Frost to not only win 8 or more, but also wasn't going to allow things to continue if it wasn't going well.
6) so again, what does Trev gain with a mid-season termination? It has to be very important for him, because why else could he force those terms onto Frost. Frost certainly didn't come up with the idea.
I suspect Trev isn't going into this with a "wait and see what happens ". There's no way he puts himself in the spotlight with the media circus like when Solich got fired. No way!!!
There must be a plan ready to launch on October 2nd. I have no clue what that is.
