How does TO always get a pass on this? He was/is just as responsible.

There is a business succession planning concept that you never let a super star choose his successor(s). Despite all conscious efforts, the super star will tend to choose successors that will not be as successful as he was. It's a very subconscious thing, but it is a fundamental cardinal sin in the corporate world. The human ego of a super star is not up to this task.

Totally depends on who he hired instead of Frost. Who were the other candidates at the time?
Chip Kelly
I don't think TO had a superstar ego... but I do think he was (dis)colored by loyalty. He was so reliant on his assistants and felt such gratitude and loyalty towards them that it prevented him from objectively evaluating them especially for a role that they had never been in before.
Your point still stands though!
He shouldn't.
He also should of went to jail for hiding the gun from evidence. Back in the day.
Above the law

You remember that bar in Lincoln that opened called the Frosted Moose?
This is the part where I'd put the most condemnation. Again, I think it is really easy in hindsight for him to come out now and say, "I thought he was too immature". If that was really how he felt and he was responsible for his success, he needed to do more to help correct, nurture, discipline out, those issues.
How much time was Moos in Lincoln?
Washington is a long ways away from the AD office.

And who knows how much traction there actually was to that claim. Moos makes it sound like it was a done deal, but who knows if that's true.
It also isn't like Kelly set the world on fire at UCLA. He was in as hot of a seat as Frost those first few years. The difference is he actually found a bit of success toward the end of his tenure there. Clearly UCLA and Nebraska aren't the same situations, but there is no guarantee that would have worked out well, either.
Sounds like this was a portion of the problem. Would have a lot more respect for Moos if he detailed out how he tried to fix/correct Frost, rather than just saying "I knew better". By the sound of it, neither was the right fit for either job.
Oh I think it was a very conscious thing. As TO told a booster friend, “there are enough statues in Lincoln”.
