Frost to Nebraska
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2017 1:57 pm
Being reported during the Memphis-UCF game by ESPN that Frost will be Nebraska's new HC. Not really a surprise but sort of an odd time to break that kind of news.

No way they're waiting until after the bowl game, which is likely the Peach Bowl on January 1st.Phalanx wrote:I feel sorry for UCF, having such a great season end negatively. Of course, they couldn't possibly have waited until after the bowl game to do all of this.
I love hearing how 'standard' it is to screw teams over. It's fine to steal a coach right before their best bowl game in school history. It's Standard! It's okay if Willie leaves the ducks holding the bag after one year and before a full recruiting cycle is consummated...totally standard. It's fine if they all lie to the recruits. Standard stuff, get with the times. Whatever, I can still mourn the loss of integrity.Tray Dub wrote:It's pretty standard to not wait until after the bowl game because there's too little time before signing day to put together a class. Tough for UCF but that's part of finding success as a small conference school.
It's not really a new thing to have a coach leave before the bowl game as that's just how the timeline for all college teams works. There's really never a good time for a coach to leave so I don't see what the big complaint is.Phalanx wrote:I love hearing how 'standard' it is to screw teams over.

Assuming Nebraska would not have let Frost postpone his decision until after their bowl game in January, do you think he had a moral obligation to pass on the job?Phalanx wrote:I love hearing how 'standard' it is to screw teams over.

Did I say it was a new thing? What possible relevance does that comment have to do with my point? You're just rephrasing the 'It's Standard' argument.

While I agree with you about integrity, I much prefer them to leave before the signing period then after. I hate to see kids who commit to a coaching staff and then are stuck at a school. I really think all transfer penalties should be null and void if a coach leaves before you've ever played a game for them.Phalanx wrote:I love hearing how 'standard' it is to screw teams over.
