HuskerOnline REACTS to Scott Frost's latest interview & him 'dying' to get back into coaching I GBR

we heard from Scott Frost for the first time how about that this week Dennis Dodd from CBS based out of Kansas City was out in Phoenix and he had a sit down interview with frost and you know the story I think that one of the parameters was he was not gonna talk about Nebraska pretty clear which I I think that's the smart move because no matter what you say about Nebraska if you're Scott Frost it's not going to come off good no and some people would be critical of the writer for entering into it deal like that but but if you don't you don't get the interview and you don't get Scott Frost saying that he's dying and that and I'm glad they I'm glad danis put that in his tweet that Scott is dying for a chance to coach again I thought that was really was that was his first quote of the story and that's that was the proper quote to lead with it's interesting to hear 49-year-old Scott Frost after being away two years after watching 52 head coach coing jobs open 52 since he's been a head coach have opened he didn't get him he didn't get not not that he would have been interested in all 52 but now he wants to be a coach that was the dying part was Illuminating to me and as was a little bit he said i' I'd be happy to be a coordinator it's amazing what he wrote though about Frost winning it was the broyal award the national coach of the year at Central Florida assistant coach the but he but he did win he won the national Coach of the Year award whatever that one's called yeah and he can't get a sniff well now hold on I don't know that that's true I think he's gotten some sniffs I know he got one for sure well I know he was at UAB right he talked that's a sniff he went down there that's a Sniff and you know I think Florida Atlantic was on his radar but yeah you know obviously he probably has his eyes set on something with you know in the upper groups I think so but is that real istic a head coaching job at a power five school for Scott Frost to a 16 and 31 in Nebraska 16 and 31 Sean Mike Riley was 19 and 19 I think Frost was 16 and 31 I think his path B back though is finding a good coordinator job somewhere okay maybe I think his path back might be going to be a quarterback's coach assistant quarterback's coach just get in somewhere I would if I were Frosty I wouldn't be too picky and with this new rule yeah there'll be opportunities I think so I think so I I would hope so I mean if if he doesn't get in now under the parameters that you laid out earlier 650 new jobs just in the power conferences or so let's just say it's 500 new jobs he can't get into that with his resume with his connection to Ryan day and Chip Kelly you think Ohio state would be an option Ohio State you would think would have something for him to be involved yeah I mean that that would make sense but again you get the sense he him and his family are not interested in to leave Phoenix they love it there so well you wonder if he'd be the type of coach that would just go work and his wife would stay St and that H that happens more than people know happens a lot oh yeah no you're right because it's look the shelf life of a coach now if it's lucky to be four years it's a wicked profession like it's a wicked profession that's why the balini staff I mean you had guys like John papuchi he what Seven Seasons I mean that that's unheard of now yeah I mean you don't get I don't know about unheard of but it's it's more it's more rare than it has been it's really rare yeah yeah so I mean the odds of the guy that recruited you being at the school that you're at it's pretty tough it's it's not as high anymore no you're right so what will become of Scott I don't know I would think he can get back in though in in some capacity um it'll be and I think I think fan Nebraska fans are interested I'm not suggesting all would cheer for him but I think they'll always be interested where in what in his whereabouts knowing him like we do I bet he's just bored out of his mind right now well he's an active he has an active mind he's a he's a he's in extremely intelligent now I say active mind what the hell do that mean he's always trying something you know um so yeah I guarantee you come on 49 years old he's been football all his life he said he's always had a Next Step he was a player and he was a grad assistant then he was a an assistant and then he was a then he was a coordinator then he was a head coach it's always been Next Step Next Step Next Step steps ran out happens too Peter principal got him I mean Peter principal got Bill Callahan he was just probably moved one step too high I think Frost you what I hope is what you kind of alluded to is that he will become a coordinator now I don't know if he'll start in or QB's coach yeah I don't know if he'll start back as a coordinator but maybe the path would be just get on as a QB's coach or a receiver's coach and then work your way into the a coordinator role you still have time although at 49 the clock the the the clock's ticking fast now yeah I think it's clear though he's not interested to be like a head coach at UTP I don't think so I don't think that's like what he I mean it's either be a coordinator at a quality power five opportunity and then use that to kind of maybe move up back in the in the end of the game and he's got to be hungry because I mean this job I mean tarnished him as a coach tarnished his legacy his coaching Legacy and he still has time to re to kind of spruce that up to refurbish his legacy and he once again he didn't talk anything about Nebraska but but it would have been interesting to hear his thoughts on the treb Albert's time and some of the things that happened um here in Lincoln particularly because he was on the ground floor of a lot of these things he was he has no one to blame but himself though you're right I mean he's he was disappointing I think he would I think it is core he would he would admit that he just had a very disappointing tenure here how could you say it any other way he was 16 and 31 I mean that's you got to go back to Bill Jennings in the 50s and early 60s Sean to find a record that bad a group of Hardcore people back in that 2022 season that really thought that we should have been writing he should be fired when they were 39 the 2022 season or the 21 season I'm Excuse yeah 202 21 season yeah and you know all those games they lost close games and you know they they took Michigan down on the wire who was in the college Hey listen I wrote a column after the Purdue game when they lost at home that was pretty critical of frost I got hammered by the other side that said you're to you're being too hard on Scott when remember when they lost a do I hammered him pretty good in that column and got a lot of flack from people that said you got to get off What's your deal get off Frost back so you hear it both sides but you're right and we thought hey it's gonna play out in 2022 one way or the other it played out quickly and it played out quickly that's yeah that's what I would say to people who who try to push that narrative on you and I and others 2021 if I would have called for Scott's head there would have been a lot of people angry at me there would have been a lot of people pissed in the Nebraska fan I think everybody wanted before they ended it and pulled the plug they wanted to make sure exactly and and the way they played in 21 taking Ohio State deep in the fourth quarter late in the season they were tied with Michigan in the last minute of the game right um I I mean every game was close so I think a lot of people are like okay they played the toughest SK I mean they played eight teams that won nine or 10 or more games right I guarantee if you would have called for his head at the you know at the close to the tail end of that season it would have caused a lot of problems for you I mean it would have there would have been people that agreed but there have been a lot of people that disagreed I thought you let it play out and it play like you said it played out it played out very quickly in 2022 and I don't think Trev in 21 was necessarily ready to go through that kind of I think he was he was only a few months on the job right and I think in 22 he had plenty of time he had his ducks in in the in a row he had months to get Matt rule lined up right so the the stat that you have to mention in this conversation is Scott was 4 and 21 in games decided by seven or fewer points that's the critical stat four and 21 in games decided by seven or fewer he just couldn't he just couldn't get he couldn't get over the hump he didn't I thought he didn't do he didn't do a good job addressing special team out of the gate if you remember what a debacle it was with at the kicker position um I thought one of the things that really hurt Scott out of the gate was his now he would maybe Hammer me for saying this but I just thought he had a kind of a Blas attitude about special teams he didn't even know who the kickers were I mean it did that that now he got better they got better at special teams he he after he was under the gun you know after he was under gun yeah that 21 out of 25 games it's I use a g using a gambling analogy be like playing Blackjack and having like odds winning cards and losing 21 out of 25 times yeah it's incredible isn't it I mean it's it's hard to do it is it's hard to do it's not just bad luck though I mean you saw the games they were coming up short for re I mean think about Colorado in 2019 you had twoth thirs of that Stadium you're up 173 at half you played probably the two best quarters the frost era and then what happened and then you open the third quarter with a delay of game penalty you get the football yeah you got that Stadium I mean that this fan base is ready to explode it was in Colorado and to take over that place and then it flipped to the point where you had as you would say grown men grabbing their junk and flipping off Nebraska fans it was ugly scene oh memorable memorable but they start the third quarter with a delay of game and then from there it was just like they allowed that flea flicker I mean but those moments just haunted for us the Michigan State missfire on the rugby punt the on I mean those were the two big ones Colorado the Lost there where they blew the big lead and I'll never forget the rugby punt as long as I live as long as I live I rarely am amazed by anything anymore but I couldn't believe that that the the punter missed his Mark by 30 yards Michigan state had not gotten a first down the entire second half and they lost the game because of that punt because that guy had an open field to run it back on the punter missed his Mark well he was hurt too yeah yeah whatever but somehow and I and I just remember we have such a great view at these stadiums from above and you just saw it unfold it was just like oh my God they have nobody to tackle that it was kind of like when you just catch a pun in warm-ups and you're just there's no one around you like that's how that was like yeah like they're gonna lose this game then he had a 20 yard head of steam to start running before you could get to him oh I I hate to say this but it was breathtaking to watch like in a bad way you're like they're gonna lose this well then you the guy that called that punt play was Ross Ells for former Husker assistant coach Lincoln native he was coaching at Michigan he was special teams coordinator yeah Ted Gilmore was the receivers coach that's wonderful
