Scott Frost's 'sacrifices' to keep job as Nebraska Cornhuskers football coach included pay cut, firing assistants
Nov 10, 2021 Associated PressLINCOLN, Neb. -- Scott Frost said Wednesday he had no problem taking a pay cut and firing four offensive assistants who also are friends if those moves give him more time to turn Nebraska into a winning football program again. Frost, who is 15-27 in four years and 3-7 this season, met with reporters for the first time since athletic director Trev Alberts announced the coach would return for a fifth season under a restructured contract. "I took this job because I love Nebraska and I love this university," Frost said. "It would break my heart to think we made the improvements we have and gotten it so close in so many games and not get an opportunity to see it through. So it's an easy decision to make any sacrifices I have to to have the privilege to continue to be here." Frost, who had been scheduled to make $5 million in 2022, will instead be paid $4 million. Frost said he was the one who suggested a pay cut. His buyout if he gets fired next year will go from $15 million to $7.5 million. Frost fired offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Matt Lubick, offensive line coach/run game coordinator Greg Austin, running backs coach Ryan Held and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco. Lubick had worked with Frost at Oregon; the others were on Frost's staff at UCF. The offense has been inconsistent and quarterback Adrian Martinez has been mistake-prone in his fourth year as the starter. Special teams have been horrendous. Largely because of the defense, the Cornhuskers have not lost any game by more than nine points. "We've come so close in so many games and it's hard to think we can keep doing exactly the same things and get it over the top," Frost said. "It's not any person's fault, not any of those coaches' fault. Sometimes there needs to be a little different voice and little changes that can make a difference." Frost said he was uncertain how he would structure his staff but he will attempt to become a CEO-type head coach rather than overseeing every aspect of the offense, as he had been doing along with Lubick.

I wouldn’t. My stance has always been that Washington has more than earned another year to fix things in any way he chooses. Just interesting to see how other programs are handling similar issues.

I realize that our football program is under funded and under staffed but is that why our program looks like a cluster fcuk on game day? Is giving Coach Washington more resources going to fix this problem? I personally think that you can have a poorly funded well discipline team. We may still lose games but it doesn't take more funds to be disciplined. How do our resources compare to Gardner Webb, Furman, Monmouth, and Hampton's?

Well, ultimately it's Washington's choice on how to fix the issues that ails our football team. If he chooses to fire assistants, he can...if he chooses to run it back, he can. But, next year this time and there is no improvement then, he will have to live with whatever decision he makes. I cannot necessarily say what would be the best option, I just hope to not see bad football again next season. Washington knows he has to do something so, as you said, he'll get his chance.

Resources have nothing to do with having a well disciplined team , that all on the coaches. I don't see Washington volunteering to take a pay-cut to prove that he can turn this program around 🤔 Hale we can't even get him to show accountability for his hand in this terrible season 😂

I don't see Washington volunteering to take a pay-cut to prove that he can turn this program around 🤔 Hale we can't even get him to show accountability for his hand in this terrible season 😂 In there is my concern, if he makes no changes and has another bad season , his contract is up. A lot of moves are being made with more than qualified Coaches now, and assistants! Another bad season leaves us in the position of a HC search, potentiAl Assistant searches, the better replacements already signed, a BOT unwilling to pay more, program setbacks(.recruits jumping ship) others not signing. Winning now for the Progam means not having to spend a lot of time and money recovering from second guessing what we actually witnessed. Higher profile teams seemingly understand that winning is now, not wait and see! IMOP we cannot act like there’s a gaurentee that this can be fixed by Washington, IMHO a winning Coach who talks that we will take in anybody would not have allowed his program to not be ready, you don’t sleep with one year left on your contract of $295k. One thing for sure he would get work in the MEAC or SWAC. But we get the setback.

One thing for sure he would get work in the MEAC or SWAC. But we get the setback. There will always be good to great coaches available that is one-thing that is a GIVEN year in and out . The key is stepping out said of your Coaching Comfort Zone, and not being stuck in a ONE-DIMENSIONAL COACHING MERRY GO ROUND Search . There are young up and coming HC's FCS, D2 , NAIA even D3 with playoff victories and experience . You don't have to brake the bank on a HC if you are not willing to do the same of COMPETENT ASSISTANCE COACHES . I see a lot on her yelling this YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET PHILOSOPHY which is only true to a degree when it comes to a HC , but is PARAMOUNT when it comes to COACHING ASSISTANCES . Dose A&T have a ASCENTIVES LAIRD CONTRACTS SYSTEM for the Head Coach and Assistants ? A lot of you would be surprised at how many more then Qualified HC and Assistant Candidates would jump at the Opportunity to make 3 to 400K for the HB and 1 to 200k for the Assistants by reaching there Incentives . A layered Incentives Based Contract PACKAGE maybe the answers for A&T. I have always said this as have a lot of others on here " A HC IS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS ASSISTANT COACHES " . The base salary and the incentives structured in the contract/ contracts may get A&T the individuals they want . If Washington dose not trun things around.

Matt Rhule on Joe Brady firing: I feel like we can be better on offense
Posted by Josh Alper on December 6, 2021, 1:54 PM ESTPanthers head coach Matt Rhule met with the media on Monday afternoon and his decision to fire offensive coordinator Joe Brady was the main topic of conversation. The move was announced just after the early slate of games kicked off on Sunday and Rhule said he planned to fire Brady on Saturday, but Brady wasn’t available to meet with him until Sunday. He thanked Brady for the work that he’s done, but said that he feels the Panthers “can be better on offense” and that relieving Brady of his duties was a move they needed to make in order for that to happen. “He’s done a lot to get us moving in the right direction, but this was something that I felt like, from a football perspective, we needed to do now,” Rhule said. Rhule stressed that the offensive issues aren’t about one person and “it would be easy to fix” if there was just one specific thing that was wrong with the unit. Senior offensive assistant/running backs coach Jeff Nixon will take over as the offensive play caller and Rhule said the focus is on this week rather than on whether Nixon will be the coordinator in 2022. Given the trajectory of the Panthers season, it’s probably not a sure thing that Rhule will be making that or any other call for 2022. profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/12/06/matt-rhule-on-joe-brady-firing-i-feel-like-we-can-be-better-on-offense/

I feel like I read that there were bonuses for conference wins and celebration bowl victories. I reserve the right to be wrong in my recollection cousin, but I think I remember reading that.

Not saying your wrong, because I'm hoping that you are right . Because if they are receiving incentives, it it makes it even harder For Me to Justify Keeping any of them outside of the LB coach going forward , if they are not pushing to obtain the incentives in there contacts .

LOL! They've hit every single incentive 4 out of the last 6 seasons. Not many other programs can say that.

Anyone know what the value of each is ? LOL! They've hit every single incentive 4 out of the last 6 seasons. Not many other programs can say that.
