I am so amused that Nebraska pulled the trigger instead of waiting 3 weeks.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Before I forget the guy, what was the original joke of "Scott Frost Day"? Something like the governor or whoever proclaimed a day to honor him in his first season as coach and then they had an embarrassing loss on that day... or was it cancelled or something?  The opening-season game that day was cancelled due to weather, and they started the year 0-6 after that

They didn’t want to risk an upset vs Oklahoma? It’s not like Oklahoma has looked great this year.

So really it cost $16.4 million to fire Frost, adding in the amount they paid Georgia Southern to make that decision.

My conspiracy theory is that Frost wanted the full buy out and didn’t prepare his team appropriately for Georgia Southern knowing he was canned if they lost.

Gotta respect Scott Frost deliberately tanking the start of the season badly enough to get that extra $7.5 million in bailout money. Secure that bag, son.

Wow, I didn't think they would do it. Some donor coughed up $7.5 million to get a 3 week head start on coaching search season.

I don’t understand why teams would ever fire a coach before November; it doesn’t seem to serve any function beyond being a salve for the fans and alumni, who as far as I’m concerned are all a bunch of hooting apes who deserve nothing. The “getting ahead of the market” line always gets trotted out, but that basically never ends up beating out.

Coach might start making decisions that don’t benefit the team long term if he sticks around, coach might lose the locker room entirely if he sticks around, recruits meeting a dead man walking might give them a bad impression… I know the actual reason (booster pressure) but there are reasons you might want to axe a guy who isn’t gonna get better but could still do some damage and make things worse

Some of the hooting apes donate bug bux to the program You're not wrong, it is dumb as poo poo. But when the septua- and octogenarians who make 6- and 7-figure donations start getting angry, ADs and Presidents listen.

Scott Frost can continue his career elsewhere while Nebraska begins searching anew for someone who can build a time machine and take them back to 1995
