Time will tell. That really hasn’t been true up to now though. Hopefully Trev will get it done.

I just hope Trev has contacted Mark May for advice on the next hire.
Anyone that believed year 2 was on Mike Reilly had very tinted rose colored glasses
Any well coached HS team plays fast of the ball, has limited presnap penalties, limited turnovers and good special teams. That had nothing to do with prior coach and it only got worse under SF
I don't think many will put up a fight. Dude is the losing-est coach in modern NU history. No wins over ranked teams. No post season appearances. Who the hell wants to see more of that? I was a huge Frost guy and I'm 100% ready to see him move on.
HC Georgia Southern ..... Clay HeltonThis other "national" article compares NU and Frost to USC and Helton. Much can change in a year if the athletic department finally holds a coach accountable and makes the correct changes.
Nebraska players and Scott Frost sound exactly like Clay Helton did at USC
The quotes from Nebraska coaches and players after the Northwestern loss reflect many of the traits Clay Helton displayed at USC, which drove fans up a wall.trojanswire.usatoday.com
I would still give the coaching edge to Helton in Sept.
Clay Helton ==> Lincoln Riley
Scott Frost ==> Bob Stoops
BTW, HC Clay Helton record (USC): 46W-24L overall, 36W-13L conference.
The worst part about firing the coach is you have to essentially start over at a place that isn't winning. But I get it... Frost has failed here on many levels. His game management skills are so abysmal that I'm not sure he's even capable of winning year in and year out. But firing him is a conundrum, one that has to be handled carefully.

Good take. i get tired of the "woe is us; nobody will want to come here, whine, whine, whine." BS. Coaches worth their salt know the resources are here, NU is competitive on the NIL front, its just a matter of coaching and development.
We absolutely will get a coach. 100%. Will it be Gruden, Urban, Stoops or some of the other giant names thrown around here? Uh, no. But we can hire a coach. I have full confidence in Trev. This is frankly why he was hired in the first place.
It's actually the perfect time to "essentially start over."
The bar is as low as it has been in my lifetime. There's almost nowhere to go but up for the next head coach.
I don't see it as a conundrum at all. I don't see it as any more difficult than firing Callahan or Riley. You get to the point where you so clearly need to burn it down -- because it's been an absolute failure -- and just start over. Frost has had more time and worse results than either Callahan or Riley.
There's no better time to start over than now (although it should have been last year). When would it possibly be better? (And by now, I mean either Oct 1 or later this year.) That is, assuming Frost doesn't have some magical, unexpected turnaround in him.
With the SEC and Big Ten emerging as the EPL of college football, Nebraska is in as good a position as ever to hire a coach.
Aranda is very much in play.
Aranda is very much in play.
Frost has dug us to absolute rock bottom. Not many worse teams in P5 football over his tenure.
Good thing about rock bottom is that it makes for a firm foundation. Let’s go get a solid coach and start rebuilding this mess.
