Just quick checking the husker fan boards. They really do want his ass gone and they want it right now.
pretty much any fan board anywhere after a loss
especially after an upset by a 14-point dog

The UNL brass is accepting mediocrity.  Have fun with that.

they won't be keeping him

I've heard oct 1st is the trigger for his buyout

and I'm not sure he'll make it until Oct. 1st, it's only money

The fact that he was coaching today is evidence that UNL is accepting of mediocrity.

in your opinion

they pulled a Harbaugh on his contract and his buyout, fired his offensive staff last fall and he won't be coaching next season, but you think what you'd like

Isn't that basically the administration buying a scratch-off ticket, hoping for a winner?  I'm honestly dumbfounded that you're disagreeing with me.
For what it's worth, Wikipedia agrees with you:

with the coaching moves that were made last season, maybe the UNL brass didn't have a better option than giving Frost another few months and thought, why not save some money while we circle the wagons and get a better candidate?

that's not settling for mediocrity, that's not panicking and throwing your program further in the hole 
I'm dumbfounded that anyone would think UNL will settle for mediocrity

Northwestern played well. Nebraska played well in the 1st quarter and looked unbeatable for that quarter. The QB play which had been so good in the 1st quarter, and most of the 1st half, started falling apart in the 2nd half. With the late turnover in a close game, this game was a microcosm of the entire Scott Frost era.
Defense fell apart as the game progressed, except the last 8 minutes or so of the 4th quarter.
The puking comment Frost made on his radio show last week made me withdraw Nebraska from consideration of preseason #1 in the West because his comment told me they are physically working players too hard trying to rescue coach's job. It is important to work hard; it is equally important to not be overworked.
It is a very bad defense that gives up 528-yards to Northwestern.
