Nebraska's struggle for relevance.

[DaBigTrain]

This is all just delightful

Yes I’m enjoying it very much.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I really hope they hire Bielema.

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I think Klieman is too smart to take a job like Nubb, and he doesn't seem like an attention whore.

I guess you have to understand human behavior to understand who is more embarrassed and who is more incentivized to save $7.5 million or or to earn another $7.5 million for two weeks of embarrassment.


My money is on massive ego Nebraska donor class & athletics leadership who is under immense pressure from a rabid disgruntled Fanbase who is pissed off that he wasn’t fired last year. The things they have done already to creep a ridiculous “sellout streak” going. $7.5 million is a drop in the bucket to what they will lose from fan attendance and prestige. I’m surprised people don’t understand this but maybe I take to much for granted because I am an expert on human behavior.

Ugh.  We aren’t going to have to worry about this all year, are we?  Grrrrr

nah. we're fine

Yeah, I'm not (too) overly worried right now. I get from a history standpoint desiring it but I feel if I'm Klieman, I've building what I want, under an AD who's my BFF, at a school that has rather reasonable expectations (I mean 2020 weirdness aside, 8-5, while would disappointing this year, is not getting Klieman fired, not even close), and he's more or less getting what he wants from a player/facility standpoint, I feel like needing to start over in a worse situation isn't that appealing.

But if Ferentz finally goes and Iowa came calling I'd feel more worried.

[cfbandyman]

As much as I see Nubb suffering I do feel really bad for him. Imagine how it would feel to go back to your alma mater, where you had been seen as a hero, and then eff up the job this bad.

I feel that too, not like he's a bad person as far as I know, just a sucky situation. It'd be like if Klein came back (not that he's going anywhere) and flamed out, it's a tough situation for all parties.

What is Frost’s next move? And what was it that allowed him to flourish at UCF but fail miserably and in such an odd way at Nubb?

He’s obviously a good to great offensive mind. It will be interesting to see if he drops down as a HC or takes a big-time OC job.

Hopefully taking a year off to focus on his own mental health.  If he wasn’t a mess before he got there, he sure is now.

The word

I thought buyout was cut in half from $15 million to $7.5 million after 10/1/22. Nebraska’s ego just couldn’t stand it, they had to prove that $7.5 million doesn’t matter when they’re being embarrassed like they were Saturday. They’re Nebraska after all

Yeah, like I posted above, there is a zero percent chance they are paying most of the $7.5m.

Imagine being the coach of any other non-revenue sport and seeing that. Sorry, no raises for you, we spent it on firing the football coach 2 weeks early.

[Pete]

I suppose when they put together the budget last year they assumed they’d be firing Frost….and it’s a non-profit, so gotta spend it I guess.

Trev Alberts is just as over his head as Frost was. The line about owing it to the players is a joke. Unless we hear about a player revolt, it's safe to say, like in almost every case, the players don't want their coach fired, especially three games into the season.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I would fire Alberts today if he was really dumb enough to piss away $7.5 million to fire a coach in September instead of October.

[wetwillie]

If they did actually spend the extra money it was covered by a donor not the AD.  It really is delightful to watch that dumpster fire burn.

Absolutely. It’s also not out of the question that the problem wasn’t Martinez, and it wasn’t Frost, but Nubb football as a whole.

[Spracne]

Nub needs to keep their meaty paws away from my Lance.

[wetwillie]

he’s their #1 target

[Pete]

What if Lance says no to NU just like Snyder said no to UT?!?!?

[wetwillie]

Maybe Nubbs go for Campbell and Flood Aggie goes for LL?

[ben ji]

Imagine how shitty it would feel to have IOWA STATE poach your head football coach.

[Spracne]

Lance ain't goin' nowhere. It doesn't get any better than Kansas.

He's probably doing a little crafty wordplay. Like he could have called Frost into his office and said look here shitboi, you can get the eff out of here right this second and for your trouble here's 3/4 mil it's not up for negotiation now is it Scotty? Ok great GTFO.

There ya go. No negotiations
