I know people have talked it goes to 7..5 on October2 , usually Buyouts drop at the end of the regular season basically December 1, interesting TA put that in effective after game 5 , TA obviously knew this wasn’t going to work and even if we are 2-3 after Indiana, there is hope Mickey or whoever takes over gets Lighting in a bottle and we finish bowl eligible.
SFs Buyout!
- Thread starter Big bo fan
- Start date
Alberts said last year when he was retained this wasn't likely to work. October 1st gave him a chance to prove himself that he should be kept past that date. Not going to happen. Now Trev Alberts can focus on finding the next head coach.
If Trev knew this wasn’t going to work and brought him back anyway then he made a conscious decision to continue to subject our football student athletes and recruits to poor coaching - development and leadership.
as a recruit or current player It would be difficult being at a school where the AD doesn’t have your best interests in mind
Trev did something unprecedented with Frost last year. I’m amazed he got Frost to agree to it, and i suppose he gets some kudos for creativity.
But it was never going to work. Frost feels neutered, pouts at the podium, inserts himself into game 1 to produce another 1 score loss, and then says his offensive scabs/coaches need to learn to be more creative. Like he is, presumably.
It was a plan that was destined to only delay the needed transition. But we saved a few bucks. I just wonder if the golden goose is dead.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but I'm pretty sure Alberts has said multiple times that this was gonna be tough for Frost to pull off.
I'm sure Alberts has his short list all put together.

Trev wanted Frost fired last year. Boosters wouldn't let him. Let's just move forward with the presdent and make a strong HC hire.
If he truly wanted to fire him and wasn’t able to convince others given Frosts track record on and off the field then he is an ineffective leader
he has one of the worst records over 4 years of any power 5 coach in recent history let alone at a place that considers themselves a blue blood program
Trev is the AD, he has every right to fire the Head Coach. If he believes Frost should be fired and so called boosters wouldnt let him, he should of quit. Your comment is stupid and I believe has no merit.
Meh....donors have influence. It is what it is. Trev got money from them to make a new hire though and that is currently at $60M and will continue to go up.
Too harsh. Frost has the clout of being tied to the last title, being a native son, and being a favorite of TO. I think Trev was hired to fire Frost. Only one Husker legend could fire another.

It’s also very true. We are experiencing what happens when “fans” and boosters insist on an inbred coach, and ignore the results. Frosturbators care more about keeping him, than the success of the program. We are getting exactly what 95% of everyone insisted on. The fanbase deserves it.
Fine - as noted above Frost has one of the worst 4 year records of any power 5 coach in recent history - certainly at a school that considers themselves a blue blood - almost every other program would have fired him by now
as a current player or recruit I would have to question the schools commitment to winning when making my own decisions
It wasn’t Trevs decision to bring him back , Trev has bosses like everyone else.
Fine - as I said - given the record - as a current player or recruit I would have to question the schools commitment to winning

That’s exactly what should be questioned. Not just the “school”, but the money people that think hiring someone like him was a good idea
Fine . But in your post you specifically blasted TA as not having the Athletes back , that’s what I was responding to.
Boosters aren't in charge of that decision. The AD is. This is all on Trev.
If we continue on our present course, and with the buyout decreasing in October, I see no good reason not to terminate Frost in October. Might as well make it publicly known we are in the market for a new HC.
Again it is the ADs job to convince these people that a change is needed
no AD in recent history has more evidence to support his argument given frosts record on and off the field than Trev has - if he wasn’t able to make his case based on the available evidence then he is an ineffective leader
it would be like the prosecution having an actual video of the defendant committing a murder and not being able to effectively argue for a conviction
Ask Auburn who in charge? There is.a lot of heat about a number of big frost backers didn’t want him fired and were threatening to not contribute. Trev did the best he could under the circumstances, I will say if all hell breaks loose trev might be gone just before frost
It because of the boosters influence over the years that Nebraska is in the situation they are in now.
Every time that stadium is filled the boosters get the message that there is really no urgency or importance to fielding a winning team
More Iowa dumbassery. When do Iowa fans start spending more time discussing their own pathetic, racist program and leave us to discuss our pathetic program??
Probably about the same time we take "Iowa" out of our screen name.
Right. Just keep firing people. Worked well to this point.
My screen makes my MO clear you Iowa fans hide behind anonymous screen names, he’ll there’s at least one Iowa doosh on here pretending to be a Nebraska fan. Sorry your program is full of racist coaches.
Your screen name is anonymous. Do you know what anonymous means?
yet another iowa fan who's been stuffed air-tight with '90s Nebraska national title trophies
When you fire your coach and hire a new one, you are married to that coach for many years and are committing tens of millions of dollars. If Trev didn't think he could get the right guy last year with all the big-time schools in the market, or for whatever reason, I'm OK with waiting one more year to get the right guy.
2500 posts since November? Holy crap, go outside!!!
Hey hawkkk guy, When is the payout to the Iowa players to make the racism suit go away??
if you're going to post my stats, please include the likes, as well
thx, air-tight iowa fan!
A ton of coaching jobs were opening up at higher profile programs: LSU, ND, USC, Oklahoma, Florida, etc. Right now is actually is a good time to be hiring a coach compared to last offseason. The only big jobs I see opening up this fall are possibly FSU, UCLA, and maybe Texas if Sarkisian lays an absolute egg. I would not wait long if I am Trev. Go get someone like Meyer.
Probably never. Not much merit to the case.
