Scott Frost fired at Nebraska

[Grey_pilgrim]

Heupel didnt work for Saban, nor have much of his success attributed to him by some people...

Apparently Heupel only succeeded at UCF because Scott Frost set him up….

That loss cost Nebraska $9mil

Just really weird to not wait till Oct when that buy out drops?

I like it. They basically said **** the buyout, you don’t deserve to be the coach here anymore.

Or they said, you’re a favorite son of the school so we are going to reward you for that by not waiting for the buyout to drop.

That's a booster call I'm sure. If someone will write the check the AD will do it

 

[Probably_in_Class]

If Frost can't bring Nebraska back to even minor respectability, I'm pretty sure no one can bring them back. RIP Cornhuskers.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

To hire Bill O Brien?

Yes

You mean $16.5 million. The buyout was $15 million before Oct 1 and 7.5 after.

No, he was getting fired anyways. That loss forced them to do it early and pay the extra buyout

 

[sonofUT62]

Yes

Right. He was good enough to be Belichick and Sabans OC, rebuild a Penn State program that almost got the death penalty, and make 4 playoff appearances in the NFL. But Vandy or Missouri wouldn’t take him? South Carolina and Florida would probably consider swapping their coaches straight up, and again TAMU probably would too if they could get out of that contract.

I was going to say exactly the same thing. If not Frost, then who? They are just going to keep making coaches millionaires for failing at this point.

He was trying to say the loss forced Nebraska to can Frost early which cost an extra $7.5M + they paid $1.5M for the right to lose to Georgia Southern.

Sounds like a movie us Vol fans are familiar with.

 

[wmcovol]

Kinda surprising they didn't wait until October 1. His buyout would have been half.

He’s a legend & they wanted to do him right. Former player is AD & Osborne still calls the shots.

Shows a fan base that sold out about 300 games in a row,that you know they deserve better and you aren’t putting up with that ****.

They have a 75k seat stadium & waiting list for season tickets cause that is all Nebraska has.

 

[Zues1]

He probably wanted to stay in the sunshine state but when you have people throwing stupid money at you....

90K.

 

[Volunteer1989]

Nebraska needs to offer stupid money to Mark Stoops. If not him maybe Chris Klieman, Troy Calhoun, or Bill O'Brien

 

[Rickyvol77]

Another overrated coach that people here wanted just because he has a decent midmajor record

 

[MAD]

 

[loservol]

Crazy to believe we got the better UCF coach.

 

[headhunter15]

Wonder if the call Matt Campbell or Jamey Chadwell?

 

[LadyVolette]

Crazy to believe we got the better UCF coach.

I think we just backed ourselves into a good deal despite ourselves lol (yes, I realize it’s in spite of lol)..

I would not be shocked at all if Frost made the offer to knock down the buyout quite a bit.

As I said, he has just looked so absolutely dejected since the game in Ireland..

Even if they gave him $10 million, with what he has made in five years there he should pretty much be set for life

Walk away, kick back with some time off, then. Get an OC gig next year at $1 million/yr and try to enjoy life a little bit

I am skeptical that they can get better. They can get different.

 

[Vols1966]

Odds are out for their new coach. Our OC is listed at +550. He won't take it but it's nice to see people looking at our coaches.
