Faking News....Frost Offered?

But if they hire a Chip Kelly, or Patterson, or anyone like that who is clearly a good coach, then I doubt there will be lynch mobs.

I completely agree. I was assuming this wasn't going to happen. Even if it did, there would still be many, many upset fans but they probably avoid a lynch mob.
 
Are you serious? Holy shnikies. $6M/year for a guy who's been a head coach for 2 years at UCF? Never mind about fan patience. He'll have to win right away at that price. Dantonio makes 4.3M. 1.5M more than James Franklin. .5M more than Tom Herman. etc. That would make Frost one of the top ten paid head coaches in all of football. Too bad Tom wouldn't have paid up like that for Peterson back 10 years ago.....o_O
I don't care how much he's paid. Doesn't change my expectations one bit. I expect him to win as in having winning seasons every year the first year he gets here. I expect him to be able to compete for conference championships by year 3 and every year after. These are the same expectations I have for any new Nebraska head coach.
 
Ha. Good question. I don't know any of our significant boosters. So I do not know what kind of people they are or what they might be saying to Moos. It could be anywhere on the range from "oh please Mr. Moos, can you offer Frost?" to "look you interloping asshole, hire Scott Frost or we will eat your children."

I'm thinking many are the latter

LMFAO half a million per victory??? given MR's current record that would be at 4m for this year given his current record at UCF that would be 6m already..
Yeah, too much. I didn't think that through. My thought was $6 million is a little high unless he wins enough to earn it. Not sure what LMFAO is. Should I be offended

LoL LMFAO is laughing my f'n a$$ off. i was laughing because 2m plus 6m for a regular season undefeated then 500k for ccg plus plus another 1m for natty so in a national title winning year he would stand to make 9.5m that is what got me laughing not that 9.5 wouldnt be worth a natty to most husker fans, anything short of that and it would make 9 or 8 8.5 seem way way over paid

Top 10 is alright with me. That's where I think he will take our team.
 
$36M is probably with all incentives - my guess is base salary starts at closer to $4M per year and goes up from there - but incentives are a big chunk (winning bowl game, division, CCG, playoff game, MNC....to get all the $$$$$$)
 
One thought..I don't care what the next coach makes. Capt Kirk takes crap for his salary from Nebraska AND Iowa fans. But he keeps the wheels the program and does have stretches of great football - like beating tOSU's REARS a few weeks after they boat raced the Huskers in Lincoln. If takes a fat check to get Frost - do it. (Not to mention we start getting the full BTN share so the bank account has some extra cha-ching coming).

I agree. Except Farentz has lost at least 5 games 6 of the past 7 years. Nebraska fans would run that coach out of town quick.
 
Capt. Kirk would not pass the Pelini litmus test...BUT also is not a giant ahole like Pelini so he probably would get alot more leeway based on actually playing some meaningful games. 9-5 if you played in the CCG and lost the bowl game to a good SEC team is alot different than 8-5 and squeaked out 2 late wins to save the season and got a cupcake bowl game win.
 
Ticket sales revenue alone somewhere around 6-7M/game before license fees. License (booster club) fees maybe 3M/game. Concessions at the game supposedly bring in >3M on game day. Conservatively >10M/game total. Sooo IF they they think they are going to have trouble selling tickets it gets pretty easy to justify that salary. Even so, Scottie's agent is doing some heavy lifting to coax that kind of dough out of NU for a still lightly proven head coach. IF they hire him, I will preach the same thing about him. We HAVE to have patience this time.

Yes, patience. If he focuses on getting them to lift weights and speed exercises, above and beyond
I'm thinking many are the latter

It is more of, "hey we are your boosters and we want Frost, be willing to pich in some for him, otherwise we may just start losing interest and the money we've been spending will shrink."
