Official - Frost back in 2022 with restructured contract
- Thread starter BigRed_Cheesehead
- Start date
This program is done for the next half decade.
We are ok with losing as long as we get a bit of a discount.
We are so screwed! Dam , why should I care anymore if the Univ doesn't give a shit about winning anymore.
Ok, better win then. No excuses left and no debate left. The program will survive even if Scott Frost fails again next year. Lower buyout if he fails again and more money to hire a good staff.
Program has been dead since 2001
This is probably the best thing considering alternatives. Cannot keep firing coaches. Frost would be the fifth one in less than 20 years. Not a good record when trying to hire a new coach.
From a national standpoint, yeah. Doesn't mean you can't compete in the conference and build back up.
"Lower buyout if he fails again and more money to hire a good staff."
The only good news silver lining in the news.
Sucks we will lose even worse next year.
I hope the contract restructure specifies zero buyout, $500K per win, zero per loss, and a $10K dock for any use of the word "close." That would put our precious moral victories to bed quick.
Oh well. No point bitching. We are one or two plays each game from being 10-0 right now. Next year is our year!
that and facilities will be another year closer to being complete to sell to a new head coach.
It's Coach Frost's head coaching career that will be on the "survive or dead" line next season so he better win or it is over for him.
So with this in place I would assume we would hear something soon if any assistants are being replaced... Other top programs have/are making changes and we can't be on the outside looking in waiting until the last minute... rip the bandaid off if it's going to happen
I guess it's really a restructured contract statement, but it obviously implies a return next year.
Trev going to handing out a shit ton of free tickets next year.
The good news is this vote of confidence may get Frosts recruiting class in to the top 60

I'm sure Trev Alberts got the buyout significantly lowered so if a change is needed next year, it can be much more financially doable.
I'm not even made about this. I'm just going to look at it in a positive way. Win or fired. If he doesn't win, then the program will move on and we will have more money to work with for a new staff. If he wins, then all is good.

As a show of Frost's goodwill, the official statement of AMart entering the transfer portal should hit in less than 30 minutes...
When we're in the same spot next year with a losing record and they decide to fire Frost, go ahead and fire Alberts too.
The powers that be have spoken. Many of us detailed many reasons why this HC should have been sent packing, but we have been nullified by the statement by Trev.
Since none of us know the actual details, about all we can do is continue to bitch, point out areas that are obvious, and wait for another year.
I was a NU fan long before Trev and Frost, and I will continue to be a fan. As it appears that "winning" is secondary, the onus will be on Frost to show either he can get the job done, or we can replay this charade again next year.
Do I have any confidence that Frost will make it happen? Of course not. He runs a loose ship, a non-accountable operation, and is a firm believer in playing those he likes, rather than those who have earned the right to start.
(Pardon me while I whine a bit more). Nebraska football has been a total suck ass proposition for over a decade, apparently, one more year won't make any difference. I've never been involved in any corporation or business that readily accepts failure and then continues to reward the "point man" with more time to prove him/herself.
Frost better thank his lucky stars, because in the REAL world of business, his ass should have been sent packing. The recruiting class will match up well with the OSU and MICH recruits.
If Frost retains Austin, Verduzco, and Dawson as the ST coach, then this entire program is a big FU to fans that are committed to winning.
Y'all chill. Frost will keep the ship afloat while the new facilities finish up. Then he either breaks through and we're all happy, or he doesn't break through and is canned (at a MUCH cheaper price for NU) and we wipe the slate clean with a new coaching staff with lots to sell recruits on for a promising future and more cash under the mattress. It's a win-win.
It will be interesting to see the contract. Im ok with him being retained especially with a restructured contract as long as he has promised to make the needed changes with the coaching staff.
How quickly can you come up with a list of names for the new AD?
I have to say I'm surprised that Alberts opted for cost saving over improving the football program. I know he chose the cost saving route when he terminated athletic programs at UNO but this is Nebraska football not UNO wrestling.
Unbelievable for a blue blood program to keep around a head coach with 4 straight losing seasons.
**** you TA. **** you Scott Frost.
**** you TA. **** you Scott Frost.
No doubt having a coach that loves the university and has a vested interest is the only reason he is retained. If we are in the same spot next year, this contract restructuring will likely save the university $15m, assuming the performance clauses are put into action. As an AD, that's a pretty good deal.
I don't make the decisions so whatever but there better be big changes on offense, ST, and hit the transfer portal hard.
I hope there's a clause in the new contract that says he cannot play a QB named Martinez next season.
Starting to understand how it felt to be a Cubs fan for years upon years of "wait til next year." This sucks.
