yup, a few seasons ago, Frost was an absolute slam dunk hire

there were a few that thought a jump from UCF to the Big Ten might not go real well, but no one was saying it was a bad hire at the time.

no guarantees on the next one
Aside from like Saban and Urban there is no such thing a sure thing slam dunk hire in the sport. Basically just two guys in the whole thing.

not even close

not even the haters

Which other coaches could be considered "solid hires"?  Kelly?  Smart?  The Clemson fellow?  Fickle?

I agree which is why I don't believe it.  It's the kind of thing that the mediots latch onto and try to sell, because it sort of makes sense on the surface.  But thinking about it deeper, $7M is pretty minimal.  I don't think they're waiting until the buyout drops, I think they're waiting until they have something else lined up.

i think it is pretty simple.  they decided to give him another season months ago.  you don't reverse course after one game.  there is nothing to save as it pertains to this season so waiting until oct 1 is whatev.  that is a bad fball team, not much diff than last season, just different players.  there's no one on that staff who's going to fix it this year.  sure the $7 mill is whatev to them, but what's the payoff in not waiting?  i think the mediots are right, keep the $.  or shoot, wait until the end of the season.  it doesn't matter when they fire him whether it's sept/oct/nov/dec.

frankly it's shocking how bad frost is

this

it's a throw away season at this point, what's to gain by canning Frost this week or before Oct. 1st?
Who are you going to get besides someone that's not currently employed?
If they could get Urban Meyer, they would certainly can Frost this minute, but that's not happening
Would Meyer even want to announce this move that this time, or simply start working behind the scenes and undercover?

i would not have bothered posting if i'd read this far.
idk what the neb job is exactly at this point but i don't think urban is going there, his next job will be bigger.
campbell.....i would think he's sorry he stayed at this point given the landscape.  chris peterson...could call him too.

I am completely agnostic about Nebraska but it boggles my mind a little that a wealthy Big Ten team would fart around over $7 million. The fans know he is done, the players know he is done, the recruits know he is done and saving $7 million seems like a big price to pay for a throwaway season.
Are you saying they should’ve fired him in the off-season over the $15 million? Or that they should fire him now?

Dave Aranda seems to be well respected

Lincoln would be a step up from Waco, especially with UT and OU leaving the Big 12

no money there in Waco

baylor has $ but i agree with the rest of that.  also can't beat their locale to talent obv.

i also agree with your post in here about nil helping neb.  i expect them to spend their way back eventually.

notre dame could buy a nc in this environment too - provided they aren't too arrogant to "stoop" with the rest of the degenerates.  given the way they are recruiting perhaps they are doing just that.

Baylor has money, but not money like Nebraska

and the gap will get wider as the new Big Ten TV contract kicks in and the Big 12 negotiates a new TV contract

 it doesn't matter when they fire him whether it's sept/oct/nov/dec.

I completely agree with this statement, which is why I think the mediots are wrong when they repeat the tired line about the buyout being the reason they're waiting.  The buyout is irrelevant.  

What's more important is figuring out who's going to take over. Whether it's an interim solution or a final solution, they don't have it figured out yet, so there's no point in doing anything now.  They might or might not decide on a plan before the buyout drops.  They might or might not decide on a plan before the end of the season.

Regardless, the buyout isn't what's driving current behavior and it won't be what drives future behavior.

What do you gain for firing him now versus October 2?

I know what you gain if you wait.

Yeah, there is that.  Florida has been firing and hiring a lot of late.  Maybe they will find someone decent and not mediocre some time.

Idk man, I'm thinking Urban might be done. I thought he'd be at USC and then that didn't happen. Unless Texas comes at him with ungodly amounts of money after they fire Sark, think Urbs is donezo.
