A few things...
- frostie is not a very experienced HC. This is only his 3rd season as a leader, so he is not well equipped to deal with a team or the press
- While he oversaw a losing season at UCF, do you think that anybody really cared? They were coming off a 0-12 season, losing less was a good thing... then of course the 13-0 season. He has never had to deal with adversity.
- This is personal for him, and everybody else involved (fans, press, AD). He is handling this thing with emotion, not necessarily brains.
He may end up being a great head coach, but I just don't think he is prepared for this moment. I suspect that we may see his "great head coach" days aren't in lincoln.
