I don't trust the administration in the athletic department (or UNL in general) to make a good decision regarding a new football coach, though. There is nothing good happening there. At the end of the day, maybe we would be better off if they just forgot about it, and let MJ become HC through acclamation. Raise his pay to $3 million with bonuses for winning games. Maybe MJ knows people to staff this train wreck; maybe not, but he should not trust NU athletic department staff for advice. Maybe MJ knows coaches (that aren't chuckleheads) that want a challenge. The NU athletic department is staffed by overpaid idiots that would likely fail at Chadron State.
NU fans should be much, much more demanding. We spend millions of dollars to support a program, and there are very highly paid "professionals" that are just milking this cash cow. That has to end, and the problem starts right at the very top. They are paid to perform, and they haven't done that for years. They just continue to milk that cow, because everyone blames the coaches and staff they employ. It's the administrators and directors that have destroyed this program.
Hey, I didn't like Frost from Day 1. He was arrogant, entitled, and way over-promoted. I saw him as a fraud, and I still think he was, but Alberts basically destroyed his ambition last year. That was bizarre; according to Alberts' own account, he "forced" Frost to accept lower wages, abandon the offense, and await the axe. What was Alberts' goal, anyway? He destroyed Frost professionally, and he essentially guaranteed that this year would be a disaster. Why isn't Alberts on the chopping block? Ultimately, this is on him.
