Yes. Since we are all going with our "gut," Frost takes mid 4 mill base to start (he's getting paid very well, but not bending us over, entirely) with rich incentives in the contract and a massive buyout.
Nebraska has informed UCF they want Frost
- Thread starter husker2612
- Start date
That's my point, they didn't request permission to talk with him. They said they want him.
I guess I listened to the interview and my take is yes they want him but they need to or at least it's common to ask their AD for permission to officially talk to him. Schools frown on other schools contacting their coach in person during the season about a job opening. I don't know that there's legal precedent but it's a common courtesy. No doubt we've already been talking to his agent. I take this report as, okay we're serious now and we will for sure have an opening and we want our guy locked up so 10 minutes after UCF plays there last game of the regular season/conference championship we can announce him as our new coach. Signed sealed and delivered.
I hope they're working on a plan B unless they already know from his agent (or a close friend
) that he would accept the job if offered.
Ha. Wouldn't we all just shit our britches at this point if this whole Frost thing fell apart?I hope they're working on a plan B unless they already know from his agent (or a close friend
I don't want that to happen, obviously, but it would be great entertainment for a few days
Every hospital in Lincoln would be full.
The police would have to station a car at every major bridge.
what appears to be happening is his agent has shut down Florida. We are it and will get this done.
He's coming home. The contract is now being finalized.
See everybody, Jesus just said it. I sure trust Jesus!
And like my job, the 2-weeks must be taken in full week increments, no acception!
Can anyone see Sumlin to Tennessee?
People down south say the memphis coach, but that seems like the same type of deal/issue that florida would have to get Frost. No big time program wants to go to another smaller school in the same state to get anything they have because they feel so much better than that. So mullen, bielema, or sumlin would be obvious people of interest, but they could go for a coordinator somewhere like clemson. Of course they are shooting for the moon right now (gruden etc), but who do you see at these other programs once they get rid of their coaches?

There is a reason why you haven't fired Mike Riley yet. Frost maybe going to Nebraska but it won't be next year.
Maybe it's because Moos said Riley will finish the season, just like he said when he was hired as AD. Would not look good to go back on his word.
Could be. Could also be that we have our coach locked up and firing Riley now accomplishes nothing.
Everyone has an opinion.
You may be right that Frost isn't coming to Nebraska, but I don't think that is why we haven't fired Riley. IMO, it doesn't make any sense to fire Riley now, unless you have an out of work coach (like Chip Kelly) lined up to start recruiting now.
Unlike some areas of this country. A man’s beliefs and his word still means something. Moos said when he was hired he didn’t fire coaches mid season unless it was because of a rules violation. If he said that then turned around and fired him after Minnesota, a great portion of this fan base would lose all respect for him (he might do well with the online community here).
Return to Corvallis you mean
You know, ever since I have used him as my avatar people have been much kinder when I've said something stupid lol.
We all should remember He is watching how we treat others with our words. "For this reason, you also must be ready, for the son of man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."
