I don't follow Nebraska much. Why do people dislike Frost so much other than Nebraska's win/loss ratio?
Remember Lawrence Phillips? Lawrence beat up his ex-g/f because Frost had been banging her, while Frost hid in a closet... Phillips drug that poor woman down the stairs by her hair...while Frost hid in a closet... Multiple times Frost had to be told to stay away from other players wives/girlfriends by the head coach at the time, Tom Osborne.
He went to high school in Wood River Nebraska where he broke most of the high school passing records and Osborne tried to recruit him but Frost wanted to play qb in the NFL so he went to play for George Walsh at Stanford. After Walsh moved him to safety he pouted and left for Nebraska where he was assured he could play qb.
People still blame him for not winning the national title in 96 due to his poor performance vs Arizona St in Tempe that year. A title that year would have meant four in a row, 94, 95, 96 and 97. Those guys would have been legendary.
Interestingly enough he got drafted after the 97 season and played for 4 teams in 6 years...as a safety... If he'd have stayed with Walsh he'd probably have had a fantastic NFL career as a safety, his loss though.
During his stint at Nebraska there were lots of rumors going around and at least some of them were true, like him being late for practice and hanging out with young women that were not his wife (strippers and prostitutes) at a bar in Lincoln that Matt Davison is part owner of. (SomethingGate, I forget what exactly atm) Davison was a wideout during Nebraska's glory days and he was the one that
caught the ball for a touchdown in the Missouri game that year. Except, it wasn't a catch because another player (Nebraska) prevented it from hitting the groud by kicking it up into the air just enough for Davis to grab it. Referees missed that one. Frost and Davison are best friends and Davison ended up as an Associate Athletic Director shortly after Frost was hired.
And to add a few cherries to the top? Frost made $35 million in just over 4 years as head coach with a win/loss record of 16-31.
Personally, I haven't liked the bawstud since he went to Stawnfud and for purely personal reasons I absolutely loathe people that cheat on their
loved ones.
