Hey everybody, it's Chris Peterson from HuskerBigRed.com and I wanted to spend just a couple minutes
0:06
on this Sunday afternoon talking to you about the Cornhuskers and head coach Scott Frost
0:12
We all know that yesterday wound up being a total disaster for the Cornhuskers
0:18
You know the onside kick was a terrible decision, I think everybody agrees with that, and now
0:24
people are kind of debating, you know, should Scott Frost be back, should he not be back
0:28
and you know it's a tough call. I think that Nebraska has given him every opportunity and here's a realistic scenario
0:34
of when and how I think that Scott Frost could get fired
0:38
I don't think that Trev Outwards is going to make the move today, it doesn't make much
0:41
sense, it's a little too early, and you know, if he is going to fire Scott, it's going to
0:47
be today, he's not going to wait until Monday before a game. So I think he's going to give Scott one real chance to rebound, but Oklahoma is coming
0:56
to town in a few weeks, and you know, if the Sooners dominate Nebraska in the trenches
1:01
like Northwestern did, and if it gets out of hand, if Oklahoma wins by, you know, three
1:06
four touchdowns, then I think you could see Trev, you know, make a move and see, you know
1:11
if Mickey Joseph could do something, if he has an opportunity to be the head coach
1:16
So that's my realistic timeline, but you know, that being said, you know, my prediction
1:22
you know, has totally changed for the season, I'm at a very optimistic, you know, outset
1:26
Now things can change, you know, one game does not make a season, so that's something
1:31
we all need to remember, and I hope that Scott Frost proves me wrong, there's nothing I would
1:35
love more than, you know, see him, you know, go win eight out of the next nine games, you
1:39
know, and take this team, you know, to a bowl game on New Year's Day, even if it's not a
1:44
major game, if it's like, you know, just a game that people know that's not like the
1:49
you know, someone mentioned the cars.com bowl or some crazy, frankly, I don't even
1:53
care if it's the cars.com or the Mayo Bowl or whatever, I just want Nebraska to be back
1:57
in the postseason, but that being said, I don't think six and six is gonna keep his
2:03
job and I don't think that it should, I think seven or eight wins and beat somebody in the
2:07
top 25, if that's, you know, if Scott Frost wants to keep his job, then go win a game
2:12
you know, a very wise person, you know, once told me that coaches in order to keep their
2:16
jobs they have to, you know, win the games they're supposed to win, and every once in
2:21
a while you have to win a game that you're not supposed to win. Yesterday, Saturday, Pat Fitzgerald was the coach that won a game that he wasn't supposed
2:30
to win, and, you know, if you're the head coach that loses games that you're supposed
2:33
to win, then you get fired, so that's where Scott Frost is at, I think, and, you know
2:39
if Nebraska does make that move, you know, I don't see it happening until Oklahoma, and
2:44
you know, if they do, my top two candidates, one is gonna be Matt Campbell from Iowa State
2:48
you know, he's proven that he can win, you know, in the Midwest, at Ames, at a non-traditional
2:53
power, you know, he's a great evaluator of talent, he's got guys to the NFL, and, you
2:58
know, Nebraska's probably not gonna get him, that's why he's number one on my wish list, but that's who I would call first, you know, I would also call Jim Leonard, the defensive
3:06
coordinator of Wisconsin, you know, I'm gonna go to bat for this guy as the head coach a bunch, because I think, one, he's reasonable, he's attainable, you know, he's got a great
3:14
resume at Wisconsin, he's a great recruiter, you know, game planner, he knows the Big Ten
3:18
he knows how to play defense in the Big Ten, and I think that it would be great for Nebraska
3:24
to hire a head coach that could actually give the program an identity, and, you know, getting
3:29
the black shirts back to being the black shirts, you know, a defense that's intimidating, that's
3:33
something that I can get behind, and that's the way I think that Nebraska can be a contender
3:38
again in the Big Ten West, so, if Scott Frost, you know, doesn't prove us all wrong in the
3:43
next month, then I think Nebraska needs to go for Matt Campbell or Jim Leonard and get
3:48
this program turned around, so, as always, Go Big Red, if you like this content, you
