At this point, why is Scott Frost even still leading the Nebraska football program?
It doesn’t matter if the Nebraska football team beats FCS North Dakota on Saturday, Scott Frost needed to go yesterday.
After losing another game in typical Frost fashion, Nebraska finds itself playing down to North Dakota’s level. No, we are not talking about the North Dakota State Bison, an FCS powerhouse famous for its first-round quarterbacks, but the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, whose most famous alum is The Zen Master, Phil Jackson. This play right here is why Frost has to go now.
We have not seen a special teams gaffe as bad since the Dan Quinn Atlanta Falcons could not recover an onside kick vs. his future employer in America’s Team, them Dallas Cowboys!
Nebraska football: Scott Frost has completely gotten into his poor team’s head
I understand that these are 18 to 23-year-old men playing a children’s game, but everybody knows that you do not pick up the ball on a punt once it has hit the ground and the kicking team can touch it. Doing so makes this a live ball, and all hell will break loose soon after. Frost may be furious over the outcome of such vomit-inducing buffoonery, but this is his team he is leading.
The pressure has gotten to Frost and all of his players. This sort of crap-tastic catastrophe is how you go about losing every single Big Ten game on the schedule. Northwestern was supposed to be a cellar-dweller, and they beat you. Purdue is tough, Minnesota ain’t easy and Illinois is a very competitive team under Bret Bielema. I mean, can this Huskers team be worse than 3-9 in 2022?
Ultimately, it is not a matter of if, but how soon Nebraska will have a new football head coach. Frost’s buyout will be cut in half from $15 million to only $7.5 million on Oct. 1, 2022. While athletic director Trev Alberts may wait until after Black Friday’s game vs. emerging rival Iowa, it is merely inevitable at this point. Frost is the worst thing to happen to Nebraska football of all time.
Go get yourself a head coach who is not completely over his skis vs. an FCS opponent, Nebraska.
