Frost is coming back in ‘22

I fully endorse this. Can they also keep Martinez another year??

Here’s the thing, I really don’t think Martinez is a bad QB. He was playing at a high level for the first half of the year and wasn’t the problem for the most part.

I think he’s the victim of the coaching staff not developing him and the players around him and them riding the titanic down with him.

Give him a good O-line and and not a revolving door of receivers and running backs and his college career looks a lot different.
 
Hey, worked for Michigan and Harbs, may well work for Frosty and NU.
The portal is gonna be full of transfers due to all these coaching changes so If Frost can hit on few of em similar to how Mel Tucker has done it this year then NU may well hit that 9 win mark next year.

And here's a helpful tip, if/when Frost wins 9 next year.... don't fire him,

Tucker hit the absolute lottery with Walker -- not sure if you can rely on picking up a heisman caliber player, unless it is a QB who was surpassed by the next hot shot recruit.

Don't let Tucker fool you though -- MSU has been winning with smoke and mirrors. They give up an AVERAGE of 327 ypg thru the air. I don't think any other team gives up 300 ypg out of 130 teams in FBS. Everything else has just went there way. I'm sure Nebraska fans wouldn't mind a season like that though.

How many MAC championships did Solich win in 16 seasons at Ohio U?

Why would Nebraska have to pick up a Heisman caliber player in the portal to get back on the right track?
Frost has already got 4 years of Top 20 - 25 talent on the roster.

2022 was gonna be a small class (lower rated) anyway with just 14 players or so. He should hit some JUCO's and the Transfer Portal to round it out.
 
Then you will be in a deep depression, because that isn't happening. And with the recruiting class they have coming in this year -- they are going to have a major hole in their roster with talent, if they haven't hit on every draft class before this one. It is a ROUGH class for any teams in the B1G's standards
That explains the recruiting class they have coming in.

People keep saying this with regards to recruiting. I don't think you guys truly understand how many freshman are on this roster due to the covid year. Frost came out at the beginning of the year and said that this would be a very minimal recruiting class, maybe 10 kids, and he would get any major positions in the transfer portal or JC due to the abundance of youth on the team...

Freshman - 97
Sophomore - 25
Junior - 22
Senior - 8

Yes, that is 97 Freshman.

Also, that whole "ain't happening".... I am not going to say it is likely, but to say no unequivocally is ridiculous when Nebraska just lost to 2 of those teams by a combinded 10 points. Granted, there is no reason to think it won't happen again given.... Frost lol, but if your reasoning is this years 'recruiting' numbers, that's just silly.

is he getting a better line next season? Or is he going to have to hope that this current line gets better this offseason for a better performance in 21?
 
If this restructuring deal is to give the assistants more money, that's a crappy way for the school to do it.
Has to be more to it than that.

When the '8 seniors' consists of many of the guys who pop off the screen for Nebraska, like Toure, Domann, both safeties. Talking about results from this year and how next year you could beat teams is what is silly. You could have 200 freshman, but it is about quality, not quantity. Will you have a WR to replace Toure and give you 20+ yards per catch? Will you find ball hawking safeties to replace Williams or a stud all around LB who can drop in coverage to replace Domann.

None of the freshman you are talking about were major contributors.

I'm guessing they did the same as the did for Harbaugh. Instead of paying him $5 million a year -- they will pay him $1 million or $2 million and the contract will have a bunch of incentives for him to earn the $5 million or close to it, but Nebraska will have to win their division or get to a good bowl or hell, maybe even just finish with a winning record. So if the team doesn't perform -- he doesn't earn the big bux.

It is a way to appease the fan base and alums by not paying top dollar for mediocrity, while also giving the slam dunk perfect candidate a chance to redeem himself as coach.
 
Bwwwahahahahahaha

he gets a pay cut and gets his whole staff fired. Lol
cant coach up his players OR his coaches.

what a shit show
 
The restructured contract will reduce his salary from $5 million to $4 million in 2022. Additionally, his buyout will drop from $15 million to $7.5 million. I was thinking he would go down to 2-3 million with more incentives.
 
How many MAC championships did Solich win in 16 seasons at Ohio U?
4 division titles and all time wins in the MAC.

NU would kill for those kinds of seasons ATM :nod:

so theoretically the '22 season could be his last. $7.5 mil looks much better to the board than $15. Wonder how his new staff hires contracts look like. 2 year deals, 3?

That's not what I asked.

Loved me some Fighting Frankies, and when he was RB's coach here, but.....

Solich was good for Ohio U. Not Nebraska.
No Conference championships in 15 years?
One 10 win season?
At a G5?

That's lifetime contract stuff at Iowa.

Frost will get next year and maybe one more if he manages to get to a bowl.
His buyout at the end of 2022 is now chump change compared to the $25 million if he were fired now, and the $20 million it would have been after Jan 1st.

On the bright side we get to find out how 'close' he really is.

I personally have my doubts, but we shall see.
