Scott Frost!


 I prefer to remember him that way. The most underrated Husker quarterback of all time. In the top 5 ever as far as I'm concerned. The guy who never gave up at Missouri in 97 , the guy who lobbied for a Tom Osborne title in 1997 after beating Peyton Manning, the guy who took a lot of shit as a player for the simple reason he wanted to play for Bill Walsh at Stanford before coming back. Frankie London? Really?

But right now, anyone under 35 only remembers the abject failure Scott Frost is as a coach. 5 years of failure, of incompetence, of promises never fulfilled, of excuses, of blaming others for your misfortune, of inept play calling and for losses that still are inexplicable other than coaching.

2018 Troy State....2018 Michigan....2018 Colorado...2019 Colorado...2019 Indiana....2019 Purdue...2020 Northwestern...2020 Illinois.....2020 Minnesota should have gotten him fired right then....2021 Illinois....2021 Michigan State....2021 Purdue.....2021 Iowa.....2022 Northwestern....and last night 2022 Georgia Southern

In EVERY one of those games he was outcoached, outplayed, outhustled and was outright bad at his job.

He is 16-31 at Nebraska. he is 35-37 overall including that 13-0 season at UCF. 

5 years ago this entire state stood and cheered when Scott Frost was signed as coach. I listen to nobody who claims to have been skeptical because I know they are lying or are a fucking Jaysker (a weird combo of Creighton fan who goes to Husker football games to be seen). We all waited for it to click and it never did. I wanted him gone after last years Iowa meltdown in which the mentality in the stadium after Iowa blocked a punt and ran it for a TD in quarter 4 was well you know we are gonna lose (they were still up 21-16) . That fan mentality is a killer, or should have been. 

But AD Trev Alberts, another HOF Husker great, made Frost fire staff, hire new staff and reduce his salary and buyout which Frost accepted. Optimism reigned among the faithful. Even I thought 7-5 was achievable but after last night, its not. Georgia Southern, a 3-9 team last year, with a new coach and a new QB (who played last year here with Buffalo) had their way with the Blackshirt D getting 642 yards and winning the game with a QB draw by a guy I could beat in a 40 yard dash. That's it I've had it.

Frost will be gone, HAS to be gone. His buyout decreases on October 1 to $7.5 million and since this season is done why not just wait till then and then use the $7.5 to help get a new coach, perhaps without ANY Nebraska ties this time. The "tradition" has been a total shitshow. The "Tradition" ended in 2003 when this athletic department fired Frank Solich for the audacity of going 9-3. Be careful what you wish for. 

What needs to happen is up  the AD Trev. Fans speculations are irrelevant since none of them know anything. Urban Meyer, Lane Kiffin, Matt Campbell, Stoops, the ghost of Bob Devaney I dont care. Just get somebody with a track record who can fix this.

Now or rather on October 1.

PS---Frost was fired today and Mickey Joseph becomes interim coach. The first black coach in Nebraska history of any sport.
