Nebraska Extends Frost Contract

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Similar or less results and record than Pruitt. Good decision? I think not.

Frost, 8-13 at Nebraska, gets two-year extension

That's just the way it works unfortunately. You either have to fire them or extend them. No in between.

It's a good decision for the program. Frost has shown what he can do with a program and the biggest thing that Nebraska needs is stability.

it's good work if you can get it.

So right now, today, Fulmer should extend Pruitt?

The Nebraska AD said it will take another 3-4 years to turn Nebraka's football program around

Stay tuned

Just wait.

You just nailed the difference.

Frost has shown big success as a HEAD coach. Pruitt hasn’t shown it yet.

And, before the vultures start circling, I think Pruitt has at least earned another year. And, if we were to win out including a bowl, I would be good with an extension.

Before the extension he was signed through the 2024 season so this wasn't a show for recruits. They probably just like him so far.

I think we have Pruitt until the end of 2023.

Why do you think it’s not a good decision?

less results. Pruitt is 10-12, could easily be 12-10 with good QB play earlier this year, having played a much tougher schedule. Couldn’t possibly care less if it’s a good decision for Nebraska or not.

 

[Seattle Hillbilly]

Why do you think it’s not a good decision?

Simply too early. It's part of how the Vols got into the situation of paying numerous coaches millions of dollars at the same time. One of which is washing Sabin's windshield.

I agree they need stability but they had a 7 year contract why not wait like 2 more years and evaluate where the program is at that way if they were starting to consider firing him then it wouldn't be such a large buyout, and if he's done really good then extend him then.

But it has been said over and over again that proven winners (which Frost is) are the mich better option. So why is Frost struggling so badly?

He has shown nothing at Nebraska and has a worse record than Bill Callahan’s first two seasons, other than that it’s a great decision

Frost is a good coach but it is hard to recruit to Lincoln. I think Nebraska would’ve been better off staying in the BIG 12.

I don’t follow a Nebraska, so I don’t know.

I will say this, though. Nebraska is not in a recruiting rich area. It historically recruited Texas a lot. Leaving the Big XII made it harder to get those players. I’m sure there are other factors, but I think recruiting is their biggest challenge.

I read your post after I made mine. Obviously, I agree.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I think the jury is still out on Frost. He has had one good season as a coach. He was 4-8 last year and probably be 5-7 this year. As some have said it tough to recruit to Lincoln.

Good points. I think the AD should have waited until the end of year 3 for an extension though.

I don’t disagree with that.

...and recruiting.

Recruits want that stability before they'll sign on.

 

[Gandalf]

Its pretty simple - Frost is Nebraska's version of Johnny Majors and they are going to give him the time and resources to right the ship - not just because he has demonstrated success elsewhere or because they think he is doing the right things to rebuild (they probably do) but also because he is a homer.

Frost will be fine. What he did at UCF shows he can coach. If you recall UT walked the dog in Nebraska a few years ago. Think about that. Butch Jones stomped the Huskers. So, it was arguably much worse. Total rebuild.
