He came in cocky and we all cheered. He came in with a swagger that he had not earned. He has been humbled and now I hope he can earn that swagger and do it in a way that makes Nebraska proud.

Some are now wrapping up their second decade looking through the lens of Nebraska's problems being poor coaching. Looking at results, I think Einstein described such thinking as insanity. Perhaps we need to concentrate our focus on everything BUT coaching. We might be surprised what it would yield. Of course, that may be too big an order for the narrow minded. I'm thinking Trev is in the broader thinking category. Lucky us.
Trust? What could Frost possibly expect? I’d say the U has done everything asked. Nebraska has already shown trust, and loyalty, as no power 5 U is keeping its coach after 4 straight losing seasons. Most wouldn’t after 3. If Frost is honest, he knows it’s a results business, and so far, he hasn’t produced in the most important area, winning. Anything the U throws to Scott now going forward, is gravy, without those results.
Well said.
I've read this concept several times.
Insisting on staff changes.
Who is insisting? Because if it's Trev and not Frost without Trev's pushing, that tells you all you need to know.

Unless, said business thinks that eventually the upside could be sky high. NU bought the stock at a high price, unfortunately they have to hold it until the price goes back up. Until then, they have to utilize a few options.
I guess you showed me!Clueless post, followed by a clueless post, at least it's consistency.
I don’t see how my suggestion as more clueless than the suggestion I was commenting on. If SF is willing to negotiate away what he is already entitled to in his contract just for the honor of getting a one year extension of his contract, I don‘t see why he would take the noble position of quitting and giving up his buyout. They are both counter to his economic interest, but both have a saintly aspect to them.
If Frost needs to buy an extension, he is pretty much done here. If he needs Trev to demand that he fire portions of his staff, then he shouldn’t be a head coach. Head coaches know when a staff member isn‘t getting it done and needs to go.
You used to see that. I remember it some in the 1970’s.
Salaries were a bit different in the 70s as well.
Yep.I guess you showed me!

Well then you either didn't read it closely, or didn't comprehend it. Never said to negotiate away what he is already entitled to, just different merit-based compensation on the one-year extension. But, nice try.
After some off the field controversy last year Mike Gundy took a cut in money and contract length. Gundy agreed to a $1 million pay cut and a reduction in his rollover contract from five years to four.
This week they announced a new 5 year extension. Shows what going 6-0 will do for you.

It’s possible that you didn’t explain what you meant. But it seemed clear to me you wanted to give him a one year extension with a lower salary. You offered a different compensation based on wins, and if it didn’t work out, the buyout would be reduced.
As I said before, if Frost agrees to the pay cut, more power to you. But I just don’t see what is in it for him, other than the honor and privilege of having a contract saying he is extended for another year ON PAPER! He knows this extension is meaningless unless he shows drastic improvement in 2022. So it’s just a shell game intended to trick recruits. If Frost turns it around next year, he stays and would have negotiated a reduced salary.
There just isn’t anything in it for Frost. If he is retained at the end of the season, next year is probably make or break.
But again, if Frost will go along with a pay cut in an out year knowing the only way he is here for the out year is if he turns the program around, that would be superior negotiating on the part of the university.

So basically, you've started the 58th thread regardless. Cool.
Uh, no. Did you read it?

Yep. I did. Same stuff, retooled, rethreaded. Rinse, repeat, ad nauseum.
