Frost and staff to coach the bowl game
- Thread starter HuskAir
- Start date
Glad for you guys that you’re rid of a coach who, according to you, is a liar with no class. Congrats on the season.
As you seem pretty astute at detecting “untruths” you might want to tune that antenna towards your AD. He described your conference as a big 6 or power 6 conference yesterday at least once.
If he’s actually telling people that, he qualifies for the “liar liar pants on fire” award for the week in cfb.
Congrats on the season though and thanks for posting.
IDGAF where you live.
It's not clearly happening, yet. Idiot.
Goodness fvcking gracious, Frost is not the best hire. There's a reason Moos contacted Kelly and it wasn't to get Frost's number.
No wad here. Not all coaches do it, idiot.
Sooo Frost, was successful because he built a foundation of trust first, foremost and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS. Even if he didn't want to (which is not the case, he really does care whole heartedly for his players) he has to coach his team through the season because that is (trust, playing for one another) the cornerstone of his program... Do you honestly believe our team would have much trust in Frost if he just ditched his team before their last and most important game of their year.
Frost will win over our team by what he does with his current team. This is not a strategy though, this is who he is.
You do realize that the new staff and Frost were already beginning to recruit last night and will continue up to dead period which coincides with the beginning of Bowl season? Not for sure why someone would be upset with any HC that would want to coach his former team for their final game when he wouldn't be able to do any recruiting for nearly 2 weeks prior to that game for his new school.
Nah, I only posted about it but wasn't aware of the offers. FTR, they were recruiting before last night, as per reports but I'll wait for you to confirm it for certain.
Who is upset he's (reportedly) coaching their bowl game? Not me. I prefer he cuts ties with UCF, that doesn't mean I'm upset over it.
You don't understand recruiting.
Like building a level of trust that said coach will do everything thing he can to not only help you become a better football player, but a better man? And that coach keeping his word to his players by keeping his promise... by living by his word... and being a model for that ethos through his actions for every recruit to see...
And yes I understand that a dead period just means a coach can't have any in person contact with recruits. What makes you think he wouldn't be taking calls/texting recruits as he prepares for his bowl game... wouldn't he be doing the same for UCF if he was still coaching? What makes you think we won't have a support staff to keep things going by that time?
I get why he would do it, I disagree with it. Herman didn't have an issue with leaving Houston for Texas. Taggart didn't have an issue leaving USF for Oregon. Neither coach coached their previous teams bowl game. But hey, Urban Meyer did it 13 years ago so...
Support staff can only do so much, it goes beyond recruiting though. We'll see what he says today, and what actually happens. Rumors out there that Sumlin will be named their coach, so what happens may change.
We shouldn't be basing our assumptions on what will work or will not work for scott frost that are based on precedents set by coaches at a different place and at a different time. Nebraska is different. Scott Frost is different. He is not Urban Meyer or Taggert... What works for Taggert/Meyer will not necessarily work for Scott Frost.
Again because of who Scott Frost is, he needs to coach this game. Whether you agree with it or not get behind it. This is what defines who Frost is and is something I think nearly all Nebraskans can respect, identify with and stand behind.

Nebraska is only different in the mind of Husker fans. Meyer was brought up by someone else, as support of Frost coaching the bowl game. I notice you didn't comment on that post, and we both know why. It didn't last long though as recent history shows other coaches with success, without coaching their previous team. Follow the conversation to understand why other names were brought up.
Ah, the good old "Scott is the coach, shut up and get behind every decision he makes".

I didn't quote that post because I wasn't going to go through several pages of bickering and misconceptions. I think you need to take a step back and really start investing some time in understanding Scott Frost. You can start by watching his press conferences as a UCF coach... and maybe to fill in the voids correlate that with "Scott's Thoughts by Scott Frost".
If you can't get behind Scott Frost now.. you certainly don't deserve to get behind him later.
If you don't think Nebraska is different... Then why are you still here?
There was no bickering or misconceptions between @jflores and I. It's a discussion, one that ended quickly till you chose to bring it up later. I don't need a video to know who Scott Frost is, and what he stands for. Since you're struggling with this, I disagree with his decision. I didn't say he was wrong or my opinion trumps his.
I'm fully behind Scott Frost. Your attempt at a straw-man is noted. I'm here because of 45 years worth of fandom, which followed a family member behind center for BD and another one for TO. Lmfao at you questioning why I'm a fan. Ho-lee-fvcking-sheet.
I’m really trying to be sympathetic toward UCF because, yes in the midst of a perfect regular season and a conference title it sucks to lose your coach. But the lack of rational thought and objectivity makes it difficult for me to really feel bad for your fan base.
What did you all think was going to happen? Frost was going to stay there and build you into the next Florida or Florida State and by some miracle get you into a P5 conference? Your only shot is the Big 12, and no way Texas is going to let that happen.
He’s from Nebraska. He played here for 3 years, won two national titles in ‘95 and ‘97, which was part of one of the greatest runs in all of college football history. His dad played football here. His mom was the track coach at UNL for several years. His greatest coaching mentor is here. His first coaching gig as a GA was here at NU. His name has been brought up in each of the last 3 coaching searches. Any follower of NU has at least casually watched Scott’s coaching career with some interest, knowing at some point he would be a likely candidate for the head coaching job. He’s stated in blogs and publically over the years that NU would be his dream job. It comes open, he gets a huge pay day, and gets the opportunity to build upon the legacy he and his family already have here at NU. Anyone put in a similar situation and presented with a similar opportunity would make the exact same decision that Frost has. Anyone who says otherwise is either a fool or a liar, and you damn well know it.
It sucks for your program. No doubt. But it was always going to happen at some point. It just happened sooner than either program expected.
