Scott Frost Blames Past “Leadership on Campus” For Decline of Nebraska Football

Is it wrong for Frost to point the finger? Not right now, while he’s trying to upright the ship. But very soon, it’ll be time to focus on the future, not the past.

In Bruce Feldman’s excellent profile of Scott Frost, Nebraska’s new head football coach makes it clear who’s responsible for the decline of Husker football in his eyes:

Well, the leadership on campus and in the AD office ruined this place because it was either guys who thought, I wanna do it my way, let’s go get a West Coast offense guy, or they didn’t understand what made Nebraska so good for all of those years.

It’s clear who he ultimately blames for Nebraska’s struggles; he doesn’t name names, but it doesn’t take much effort to realize that it’s Steve Pederson, Shawn Eichorst and Harvey Perlman. None of this should be an eye-opening revelation to any Husker fans. Back in 2005, Kansas walloped Nebraska 40-15 and in a blog entry on the Lincoln Journal-Star’s web site, Frost spoke from the heart. The blog entry is long-gone from the Journal-Star’s website, but his words have been reposted in several spots, and provide the context for what Feldman calls “anger” and “disgust” to what has happened in Lincoln this century.
