I think if I'm Nebraska I just fire the guy right now and hire the search firm. No point keeping a lame duck around if you ask me.

Scott Frost is 5-21 in one possession games. Holy shit.

Worst in all of the FBS over that timespan.

There are 7.5 million reasons to keep him around until Oct. 2.

I mean, I guess. What's $7.5 million though when the new TV deal alone will bring Nebraska like $100 million. Every. Single. Year. There are old rich white men with wayyyyy too much money that are die hard Nebraska boosters that would all pitch in couple hundred K a pop at least and cut checks to get rid of Frost's ass tomorrow.

Idk if it's me, I'm canning his ass today and starting my search right now.

7.5 million is mice nuts and Nebraska boosters and administration know it.  They're not making any decisions based on that buyout.  If they wait, it'll have nothing to do with the buyout and everything to do with trying to get their next steps lined up without falling flat on their faces.

Flipside, is it's kind of stupid to make that move, when you have zero idea what your next move is.

Look no further than Texas' last 3 coaching firing and hiring missteps.

If the worry is the recruiting class, well then keeping a lame duck around isn't going to be any better or worse than having no coach at all.

it’s mice nuts when it’s someone else’s $.  when it’s my $ it’s $7.5 million.  the issue most simply put is there is $7.5 million to be gained by waiting, nothing to be lost by waiting, and nothing to be gained by not waiting.  so i’d keep the $ if it’s my check to write.

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.

def possible

he’s pretty young though i chalk that up to timing.

I mean, just start the search, save the money. You can do all the groundwork with him still there. Not rules against it. At worst, you really hurt his feelings, boo hoo. And getting a public start three weeks early in September is basically worthless.

And that department took $54 million from the rainy day fund in the past couple years. No reason to give away more than a 20th of your department budget because you can't wait three weeks.

I just think many of you are putting too much stock in that 7.5M.

If Urbs told them, "I'll come coach you tomorrow if you fire Frost and eat that 7.5M" they'd do it in a heartbeat.   

That's an extreme hypothetical of course, but it's demonstrative.  If the right post-Frost situation presented itself today and they'd miss out if they chose to wait until after the buyout drops, then they wouldn't wait.  

The 7.5M isn't dictating the timing.  Figuring out the next steps, is what is dictating the timing.

I don't think I'm really "putting stock" in that.

You describe a situation. "If the right post-Frost situation presented itself today and they'd miss out if they chose to wait until after the buyout drops." That situation to this point has literally never happend. And it's very, very, very unlikely that it will happen.

So if you ignore a thing that isn't going to happen, you look at what's next. And you weigh saving money vs. the general feelings, you'll roll with the money and call it a day. Now, you might not have a good idea of that next step after it drops, but you might just pull the trigger when feelings and threats from the money (meaning the people with the money) grow too large. 

(There's also the addendum that getting a public jump on a search is ... only so valuable. The coach you want is not going to publicly accept the job until Nov. 27 or Dec. 4. That means even if you fire your coach, do your due diligence, get the guy to agree in principle by Nov. 1, a better job can shitcan its coach that way, offer more at a better job and take your guy just like that)

It is precisely 7.5%.

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
Yes they do. Lots of money in Waco.

If Warren would step up to the buffet, Lincoln might have the money Waco does.
