Yep. In a nutshell. It was butt stupid to be honest. That's why he no longer has a job.

Is Scott Frost too young and inexperienced?

I think the experience factor is overrated. Guys kind of either have it or they don't.
I really want Frost to be coaching NU next year but I am concerned the expectations are way out of line with reality. He won't have the QB or RBs to run his offense and the OL is not good at run blocking. The defense is in no mans land in terms of being in transition between schemes. That doesn't even get to the mentality that has to be instilled. It won't be an easy process no matter who's coaching.

I think the o line has talent, at least based on stars/offers. Which is meaningless if you can't coach them up.
I think all three QBs we have could run Frost’s offense effectively. Sure, they may tweak it more for a Tanner Lee so he doesn’t run the ball, but many of the concepts can stay the same I.e. either hand the ball off to a RB going up the middle or instead fake that and pass the ball. They do that like any offense these days. Both POB and Gebbia can actually do some run options off the spread concept and all three can roll out and pass the ball. I think you’re not watching Frost’s offense in action. It is, in fact, pretty QB friendly-both a run based QB or a pro style QB. In all instances, he wants a QB that throws better than he runs, I believe.
As far as experience factor, look at the LA Rams, with the youngest coach in NFL history at 31. He is doing very well in his first year, because he hired a great veteran DC in Wade Phillips and other asst coaches with experience. That’s what good coaches do. They aren’t like Bo, who hired youngish guys with little to no experience.
It's incredible what a year will do for a coach.
Perfect timing in my opinion!
Scott Frost has seen the lowest of lows as a Husker -- Arizona State 19-NU 0 and Texas 37-NU 27 come to mind -- and the highest of highs, 42-17 over Tennessee and a share of the NC. He's a Nebraska kid. He knows the expectations. He knows the challenges. And when all's said and done, I can't imagine him saying no if Bill Moos gives Tom Osborne the green light to call SF to think it over.
FYI - there was no share. That's a Michigan fantasy.
I watched the UCF-Navy game and I was not that impressed with the UCF QB. Both the Navy QBs were better. His side arm throwing motion of will not cut it in the BiG. The talent around him was very good and OL dominated the second half.
UCF is currently at 60/40 run/pass. Just about perfect from my perspective. Now whether SF wants to come here is the unknowable answer to the question. He most certainly won't get into any direct conversations with Moos until after the regular season. We might have a better sense this week, but they played the AD hire close to the chest and I expect the same with the HC search.

well, frost wont be bringing his qb with him so...
That is not necessarily a positive movement!
He doesn’t need their QBs. I think we have a far more future QB.
I think Frost could tweak his offense to work with POB or Gebbia. I don't see Lee fitting that system. You give up too much of the offense to have a QB that is no threat at all to run. It makes the offense much easier to defend, especially if we don't have stud RBs to carry the entirety of the load in the running game. No way of knowing for sure unless Frost is the Husker coach next year, but I just don't see Lee starting in Frost's offense. I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Lee declare for the draft if Riley is fired and someone like Frost is hired, especially if Lee keeps his completion percentage near 60 for the remainder of the season. He knows the scouts will drool over his arm strength and quick release.
