I have no idea how to recover the posts to prove this, but I maintain that if Callahan would have got a new d coordinator, I would have fully supported him getting more time. He had great recruiting and our offense was a handful even his last year. We just couldn’t stop Millard West from putting up 40 on us.
Riley...I feel like we screwed that thing up bad. I think we had a shot to have a better season last year until we fired Eichorst. When we fired Eichorst, everyone knew it was over and basically gave up. That said, everything that has happened since Frost showed up shows me it was the right move to fire Riley.
But to answer your quesiton...yeah frost gets more time than those other guys. Callahan alienated a lot of people and created enemies that were looking for a reason to fire him. Especially since he was attached to Peterson who people really didn’t like. Riley, same thing minus him personally making enemies. He also suffered from many not wanting him in the first place. Now Frost comes in and his past coupled with being national coach of the year and Nebraska not really having anywhere to turn if he doesn’t work out, we have to be all in for the long term or we really are the next Minnesota. This has been a long term fix program since the day we hired Callahan because it has resulted in us changing everything we do and having to rebuild the program every time we change a coach.
Short answer, yes Frost gets more time. Because he’s ours, we paid him $35 mil, and he’s realistically the last and best chance we’ve got. No decent coach will take this job if we can a national coach of the year who was our golden boy.
