Nebraska Extends Frost Contract

Despite the disappointing season Husker fans love Frost! It's going to take a few seasons to right the ship. Can't just keep firing coaches every couple of seasons like us or you'll never be able to recruit.

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.

Winning at UCF is much easier than winning at Nebraska and so is recruiting

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

Considering his initial contract was for 7 years it seems a little early for an extension. Maybe they were worried he could bolt at the end of the season.

Really? I said he’ll be fine. I didn’t say he’d go undefeated.
If it’s so easy then why doesn’t everyone do it?

Well their current coach is doing a pretty good job and I am merely speaking on their built in advantages of being in the state of Florida for recruiting as well as a weak conference

The Nebraska AD said it would take 3-4 years to turn Nebraska around so Scott Frost will be coaching the Cornhuskers for a long time to come

He just lost to a bad Tulsa team. Frost went undefeated and beat Auburn in a bowl game.
UCF is never getting the caliber of athletes that a program like Nebraska can. i have little doubt Frost will have them competitive in a few years.

He went 12-0 in the season before and gave LSU all they wanted in the bowl game. I would say that UCF has just as much talent as Nebraska if not more.

Yes. With the team that Frost built. It’s called a residual effect.
See Bill Battle after Dickey.
What the talent level is currently doesn’t matter. It’s what level of athlete can you consistently recruit, and you are going to get access to better players at Nebraska. To suggest otherwise (which you are) is insane.
UCF only has access to the Florida talent pool after the big three have had there pick and then a dozen or so other schools who recruit Florida hard.

i don't really agree with your characterization of the game.

that bowl game they were ranked higher (#7 vs #11), undefeated (12-0 vs 9-3), reigning national champs (hey they claimed it not me), were coming in on a 25 game win streak, and were facing a beat up LSU. IIRC they were missing half their defensive starters.

UCF also jumped out to a lead, before LSU held the ball for almost 45 minutes, out gained UCF by 300 yards. LSU was in the lead for the last three quarters.

UCF was missing their QB but the defense cut them way down to size. and they were helped by some big time by defense and special teams plays (int returned for touchdown and a muffed kick inside the 20)

just disagreeing with UCF giving LSU all the wanted.

Nebraska as a state and the plains states have a talent pool the size of a thimble to choose from and must recruit nationally. UCF doesn’t have to leave South Florida to compete. You keep assuming elite players are lining up to play at Nebraska. They aren’t

Scott Frost didn’t invent winning at UCF, George O’Leary won 10 games or more 4 times at UCF before Frost arrived. Scott Frost has been a head coach all of two seasons before arriving at Nebraska. He had one great season at UCF. George O’Leary and Josh Hueppel have also won 12 games at UCF are they also great coaches? They have only been a D1 football program for around two decades

As stated before, Huskers messed up going to Big 10. They used to pull a lot if their best players from TX. Should've stayed in Big 12. Now that said, I think they can eventually get to a 9-10 win team...since their division is so soft. If Minnesota can win 10 games, so can Nebraska.

Why would you extend someone who’s contract doesn’t expire for another 4+ years? Why not just make his initial contract much shorter.

I don’t get it. He must have a good agent or some clause in his contract.

UCF went 31-9 the previous three seasons before going 0-12 the next season in which O’Leary had some personal issues in which he resigned and did not finish out the season. You aren’t going to win this argument, my brother went to UCF and I follow them regularly as well as attended several games. That winless team that you are referring to had a bunch of talented young players that weren’t ready to start but were forced into it by injuries and players graduating. O’Leary had mailed it in and the team quit after he stepped down. Frost didn’t miraculously turn it from 0-12 to 12-0 as you are implying, they only won 6 games his first season and he had a great second season then left for Nebraska. He recruited very few of the impactful players on that undefeated squad with the exception of Milton, O’Leary did and did not leave the cupboard stocked with players for the next coach as you are suggesting because he had already taken the job at Nebraska. He may be a great coach but his greatness is a bit embellished. As already mentioned, other coaches have had great seasons at UCF and aren’t idolized. He is because of the goofy NC charade.

I thought what O’Leary did was very impressive. He didn’t get hired by ND for sucking.
I also thought what Frost did was very impressive. Especially beating an SEC team in a quality bowl.
There is no argument. I said I think frost will do fine at Nebraska. Things went wrong fast at UCF and Frost couldn’t have done any better.

It's been well documented and said that what killed Nebraska is the move to the B1G. It killed their Texas/Oklahoma recruiting pipeline. They can still be a beast in the B1G as their going to be battling Purdue, Wisconsin and Minnesota for the next few years in the West.
