Most satisfying thing is how badly this team is being used as leverage. It’s the perfect formula for every available coach. A delusional fan base that inexplicably views their tradition as rich as Notre Dame, a profitable athletic department. Frost is going to be able to squeeze every dime out of Nebraska, because Florida can pay, and their fans/boosters feel they have to win, when, in actuality, who would take that job right now? I’m not only talking about their garbage roster because that can be fixed, but how many other schools have tried everything they could to not pay a coach they fired. I would be Leery of any institution that does not want to honor contracts
Oh, and they had jerseys that looked like alligator skin
You raise great points. Having to deal with that fan base and controlling administration is bad. How much of their hiring issue do you think can be attributed to that and how much to them not paying McEltooth the buyout they owed him?
I just don't see Frost going to UF. I think he'll be successful wherever he goes. Problem for UF was firing McElwain given the modicum of success he had, despite the fact that everyone knew he was out of his league over there. Two division titles in your first two seasons should've bought him a 4th year at UF. The school the way they fired him and trying to weasel out of paying McElwain's buyout was rather telling and many candidates are going to see that. The SEC is starting to become a barren landscape for coaching careers. Malzhan is the only other coach that can survive, and he's on the hot seat every single year, despite him bringing his team to a national title appearance and in their 2nd SEC title game appearance since he took over in 2012.
