I know football coaches are a different breed, but if I were in Frost's shoes, I'd be done with football. 15 million bucks, and he's still a young guy. Take the money and do something more meaningful with your life.

But it really looks like Nebraska actually was dumb enough to pay him $15 million.

I would like a "we went searching for the best and came back with Charlie Weis" moment
Trev Alberts was not calling the shots on this. People don’t understand the ego of the Nebraska donor base and how much they control Nebraska athletics. $7.5 million was nothing to them. Their need to show the college football world that they would not let $7.5 million stand in the way of ending the embarrassment of having a Scott Frost on the sideline was more important than $7.5 million.

There shouldn't have been any realistic scenario where he would be able to keep that additional $7.5M, so a reduced offer would have been a good deal for him. Trev Alberts appears to have been dumb enough to not realize any of that, though.

Trev Alberts appears to have been dumb enough to not realize any of that, though.Here is the problem with this whole line of thought. As soon as Nubb says hey we would like to fire you earlier for less money or we are just going to wait two weeks they have already fired him and owe him the full $15. Contacts don't work the way you think they do.

It looks like Frost got canned for mor than losing games - he apparently took the Turner Gill relaxed approach to coaching. So bad assistants were going to the AD to ask for help.https://huskercorner.com/2022/09/14/nebraska-football-accusations-scott-frost/It appears he also succumbed to the sweet fruit of big donors wives, but that's just rumor.
