Frost on the radio: Red-White Spring Game planned for May 1; Huskers looking for ‘right guy’ to coach special teams | Football



Frost said he thought “most” of the team wanted to play in a bowl game after beating Rutgers in December, but that the program couldn’t reach a unanimous decision and therefore ultimately opted against it. 

The head coach said he didn’t feel good about playing another game, “unless everybody was committed and gung-ho and excited about going.”

Since the season ended, NU has added two key players (USC running back Markese Stepp and Montana wide receiver Samori Toure) via transfer and lost some, too. Most notable in that group is sophomore receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. Frost didn’t mention Robinson specifically, but said the Huskers and every other program just has to get used to the volume of players transferring. 

“Honestly, that’s kind of the world we’re living in now,” Frost said. “Particularly this year when kids are expecting to become immediately eligible with the one-time transfer exception. That’s just what we’re going to have to deal with.

“Each one of those is different circumstances and different reasons and we’re certainly not alone. There’s teams in our league that had really good years and lost nine or 10 guys. Guys all over the country are jumping in the portal. Some of them probably for good reasons and some of them are not. I think a lot of times when you decide to transfer, you think the grass is greener somewhere else and it doesn’t turn out to be.”
