Sounds like a guy who’s bitter about being fired because he was a complete failure despite having all the resources in the world at his disposal.

Yes on both counts

Problem is, Nebraska is a medium fish in a big pond
Frost won at UCF as a medium fish in a small pond.

You don’t necessarily win with the same style and strategy in those two situations.

Now UCF is a medium fish in a medium pond. So I’ll be curious how he does.
My guess is better than he did at Nebraska but not 12-0 like last time.

He should've said "don't party your ass off, get drunk and smoke dabs everyday, show up hungover/late to practice, and spend more time in the Huskers golf simulator than recruiting".

Well he could be alluding to it was easier for him to make the right choices when he had more anonymity in Orlando than when he was back home as a local celebrity

He didn’t say Nebraska was a bad job. He said it was the wrong job for him

Interesting. I'd almost think the opposite should be true, where if you're in Florida among tons of people and stuff, that's when you should do the stuff you don't want people to see.

I hate to strike your last few words, but I think it just sounds better without the "for him" haha.

Maybe. But I imagine opportunities come pretty often when you’re a Nebraska legend living in Lincoln

When you have a problem as he is alleged to have, the opportunity sometimes is too much to pass up.

Texas coach had same problem in Los Angeles

So you believe Frost when he says he didn’t want to take the Nebby job, but was pushed into it?

Frost said, “I got tugged in a direction to try to help my alma mater and didn't really want to do it.”

That’s super believable in my opinion

You don’t want to take a job and everyone you ever met is like…come on. It’s destiny. And you talk yourself into it and regret it

Could be, but I think it’s more likely he saw an opportunity to go home and lead his Huskers back to greatness.

Obviously. That doesn’t contradict what I said. He talked himself into it for that reason
 

It is quite amusing listening to Frost attempt to impart wisdom from on high after the fact. The dude literally spent his entire tenure chasing college skirt and hanging out in the Haymarket bars
