Cmon man. Not this crap again. First of all there would have been another mutiny if he had fired Frost last fall. Secondly Trev was working the back channels and not getting the answers he needed. You do NOT fire your head coach unless you’re pretty certain you have his replacement lined up. Even then it can backfire like it did to Pederson.
Maybe that's a good indication we shouldn't have hired an amateur hour AD in the first place.
The boosters pay the bills. Part of the athletic director's job is to keep the boosters happy, since they are the one's paying the bills. The AD position is very much a political position like it or not.
It's not the truth. Trev was hired late. He had to deal with boosters. Set up for this year. Fired Frost when he couldn't take it any longer. People obviously like Mickey and are giving him a chance to see what he can do. That is more than wins and losses when he has the same players and staff (sans Chins) that Frost did. Am I missing something?
I’m sure with your experience as a class C position coach you could handle the job. Unlike your buddy Eichorst I trust Trev to do the right thing.
You're missing a couple things: first, they were never going to fire Trev after they just hired him and second, the team deteriorated quite a bit from last year. Hard to believe, but we were close in the games last year, this year now we're getting blown out in some of them. This after we made what seemed like a decent NIL/transfer portal haul in the off season, we still got worse this year.
Well they were never going to fire Pederson either right? He was a Nebraska guy endorsed by TO. You still HAVE to have the backing of the people who matter and the people on this board aren’t the people who matter.
He was hired the summer before last year's season. That's way more time to evaluate and make contact with outside coaches than a lot of ADs get. Many get hired and immediately have to start a coaching search for a quality coach or their ass will be on the line next. That's just the nature of the business. The excuse making for Husker alums is just pathetic at this point, and outsiders wouldn't get near the same treatment for failure after failure. You're obviously missing a lot, as nothing you say aligns with reality.
Especially when the buyout is $15 million.
I could handle the job just fine. My sights are set a lot higher than being an AD for this now joke of a program.
Legit question, who was available last year that we missed out on? Damn near everyone on our most wanted list wouldn’t have come here last year. I’m not crowning Trev as this phenom AD yet but seriously remind me of the big name home run guy we missed on by keeping frost another year.
And the story I got from a booster of substance was that a megadonor walked in to Trev’s box during the Georgia Southern game and said it’s time. I believe this was somebody who up until the NW game had been supporting Frost.
It's no different any year. Nobody is ever available until you make them an offer.
IF they're dictating the shots then why do we need Trev? We could hire a lackey for far less salary. Poor excuse IMO.
That's just making excuses for Trev. Nobody actually knows what dictates (if any) were given to Trev. People are just trying to rationalize his behavior and make excuses for keeping Frost. Well those excuses got us where we are this season. That's all I'm saying. If people are satisfied with this season, so be it but I'm not satisfied with the season.
