Nebraska Football: Ugly accusations surface after Scott Frostās departure
What is currently happening around the Nebraska football program is a tale that is, unfortunately, as old as time. Especially when the larger story is one of rot inside an organization or in this case, a college football team.
Now that
Scott Frost is officially in the Nebraska football programās rearview mirror, certain people around the program and even in Nebraska media are starting to spill little secrets here and there. These particular stories paint a quite different picture than the one the general public heard about the Golden Boyās regime over the last 4+ years.
Certainly, the internet is always going to be full of rumors and innuendo. Some of those rumors were even going to be born in an ounce of truth. Some are full on, 100 percent accurate. And still others are entirely false, put out there by people who want to be seen as having some āinside scoop.ā
Unless someone is extremely tied into the Nebraska football program, it can be hard to tell whatās true, whatās sour grapes and what is just people trying to look bigger and more important than they are.
Having said that, thereās a reason the saying āwhere thereās smoke, thereās fireā is such a popular one. Itās a truism of course. And when it comes to the things that have started seeping out about the Nebraska football program under Scott Frost, it seems as if the narrative pushed by far too many in the local media; that Scott Frost worked harder and longer and wanted success more than anyone else in the state, was not entirely true.
The whispers have been there before, theyāve been there since the beginning. But during a Sunday interview that just exploded on Tuesday afternoon, one local sports radio talk show host came close to blowing the lid off the house of cards that was Frostās reputation.
Mikeāl Severe appeared on the
Hurrdat Sports video podcast on Sunday, not long after Nebraska announced it had parted ways with its head coach. During a long conversation mostly focused on who Severe thought should be the next head coach (spoiler: Matt Campbell), the radio host launched into a lengthy diatribe about why Frost was fired.
Severe then detailed things that he said the Cornhuskers Athletic Director couldnāt talk about but were very clearly major contributing factors to why the former Huskers coach was fired just three games into the season and just a few weeks before his buyout would have been greatly reduced.
āHe canāt talk about his head coach showing up late to practice every day,ā Severe continued. āHe canāt talk about his head coach not making recruiting phone calls.ā The radio host also made it clear that now that the regime change has officially happened, heās freer to talk about these things.
āThereās a whole bunch of stuff ā¦ā he added. āIt was a mess up there.ā He then dropped one of the bigger bombshells of the entire appearance and one that really should have raised red flags. To the point where itās a surprise things were indeed kept so quiet around the Nebraska football program.
Now that Nebraska football is free from Scott Frost, some interesting accusations about what went on behind the scenes have started to surface.
