If you’re a Nebraska football fan, you’re unsure of what the program’s future holds.

It’s an unsettling time for a passionate and loyal fan base, although it should be used to tumult by now.

Many fans still wonder if Scott Frost can push the program to prominence, but also wonder if he’ll be granted another season in his bid to make it happen. After all, he’s only 15-26 in the late stages of his fourth season, and this season isn’t exactly trending in a great direction.

I wish I had more definitive answers for you.

There is, however, one element of the discussion on which many, if not most, Nebraska fans seem to agree. 

They want the Frost tenure to work. 

There are several reasons why they should want it to work. But one obvious reason comes to mind.

It’s that intriguing picture of Trev Alberts and Frost leading the charge.

Perhaps most important, you’re talking about two men who want to be here. If they experience success together and work well together, they’re unlikely to go looking for bigger jobs. Long-term stability is a universal desire.

Frost and Alberts have an intense emotional investment. They were both enormously successful players in the program who count Tom Osborne among their foremost mentors. They learned much of what they know from an iconic, Hall of Fame coach. They both enjoyed immense success away from their alma mater, then came back to revitalize a proud and tradition-rich program.
