What is the point of firing your HC 2-3 games into the season?

Plus if they waited until Oct 2, they only had to pay him $7.5M buyout…

Seems like saving that kind of money is a good reason to wait to me

I think I read somewhere he agreed to take less than owed AND reduced his salary. Good guy.

This is true. He reduced his buy-out by $7.5 MM and his salary by $1 MM.

That would be so cowardly. You admit the season is lost to save money? Weak

I tend to think there is a quiet agreement avoiding the penalty. I would bet Frost wants out after this humiliation.

First in line to prepare for the hiring season. Placate the fan base.

I would normally agree, but Frost bet on himself and lost.

He’s proven he is a top 5 college coach.

Yes, it is never too early to higher your next temporary coach.

Wish $ wasn't the sole focus of CFB. It would be nice to have NE back in the B12

Part principle. Part Hail Mary to make a bowl game. And part financial.

Donors have had it. Time to let everybody know change is coming.
