Frost still playing the victim

How did I completely erase the Mickey Joseph era from my memory? What a strange time haha

You could sort of tell that Frost hated it here right away, the "Don't ask about my family" and "Don't interview my family" stuff. He was super guarded before he even started.

I sort of get it but I think you actually embrace it, like Rhule seems to have done, it is probably better.

You have to embrace it 100%. And that goes for pretty much any D1 job, especially any high profile job. You can’t have one foot out and the expect it to work. This job demands 100% of you, anything less will be certain failure.

And FWIW, that was super cringe when Scott attempted to publicly keep his family out of the picture. His wife may have wanted it that way, but she’s not the one hired to resurrect Husker football and cash million dollar checks. Some jobs are too big for your wife’s “feelings” to be a factor in how you operate professionally. If you want to be married to someone making $5 million a year you might have to put some of your trivial feelings on the back burner. JMO

I agree. I felt like he was abrasive with the fans as soon as he was hired. Major miscalculation on his part. But he got a fat buy out to go away. His wife won in the end.

Plus, it is not like the Lincoln/Omaha media was going to ask hi wife some hard hitting questions. They would have done one interview asking how she liked Lincoln and Nebraska and what it felt like to be married to one of the most "famous" people in the state.

They would not have been like "How do you like Lincoln so far and what are your thoughts on abortion, trans-rights and the middle east?"

Yeah I didn't understand that. I had no idea who Pelini, Callahan, and Solich's wives and kids were. Unless you're dating someone a third of your age like Belichick, I don't think anyone cares about a coach's wife/girlfriend.

Frosty has given us plenty of reasons to make fun of him, but asking the media to stay clear of his fam ain't one of them. He had the juice at the time and i got zero probs with the ask.

it's unrealistic to think that A) we should've purged the entire roster, or B) that every single "Frost recruit" was a worthless bum who is inherently bad at football.
both of these scenarios have quite literally never been more realistic

A is business as usual at this point for new head coaches. and it works.
B is also pretty likely given the program these players committed to.

it took 6 years for one of Frost's best recruits to develop into a Day 3 draft pick for crying out loud

I was JUST going to post this!

I don't even know if those guys were married (hopefully they were not)!

But, don't they stay clear anyway?

I literally could tell you NOTHING about TO's family, Billy C's family, Frank's family, Bo's family...I remember Riley had a wife that was allergic to paint. That is it.

Comparing those is apples to oranges due to the times and media that spans those coaching tenures. I think we're turning over rocks looking for stuff to complain about on that one...plus, and I posted this earlier but deleted, my sister is friends with his wife. She's a freaking saint. Anyone speculating if she was the problem wouldn't, if they knew her.

Its just how i feel about it. YMMV.

"It was what some other people wanted me to do to some degree."

This sounds like he blames TO and his parents.
I can't even imagine the number of people who were in his ear about it. Definitely not just TO and his parents that's for sure haha

That’s it. Husker fans have never been disrespectful or intrusive with any other coaches family. And if they (fans/media) were intrusive I never heard anything about it. That’s the problem I had with it… A. It wasn’t necessary and… B. It displays a preoccupation with matters non-football related. Just gave off a cringe vibe. Like “I’m the man. And don’t mess with me.” When it was completely unnecessary.

The media would’ve kissed her ass and praised everything about her. She might have had to do 1 or 2 puff piece interviews and after that nobody cares about his family, they just want us (NU) to win.

The mindset of the average CFB fan who thinks they have the right to know everything, and access to coaches families is bizzare. Nothing a wife might say would interest me.. in fact, unless she's a smokeshow posting bikini pics I couldn't care less if I even knew what they looked like.

Parcells always said, "My wife doesn't know if a football is filled with air or stuffed with feathers."

Frost is a douche. He’s always been a douche (even when he was a player). The only reason he got a pass was that he was a hell of a good football player and won a national championship for DONU. But he’s still a douche and likely always will be.
