This is a good move for all. Nebraska had no desire to pay the 20 million dollar buyout (but could have if they really wanted) and Frost has to think he's close to turning the corner. Nebraska has to be the unluckiest team in America this year. This year's Nebraska team reminds me of the BK Notre Dame team that went 4-8 in 2016. All the advanced statistics suggested they weren't that far from being an 8-4 team. The next year they went 10-3, two years later they were in the CFP.

Michigan made a similar move last year that gave them the flexibility to fire Harbaugh if things fell off a cliff and kept his salary more manageable. UC "extended" Tuberville after year 3 but did so moving up the buyout decrease that made it really obvious it was his last year unless things flipped overnight.

Maybe it will never happen for Frost, but I think getting the buyout down and giving him a chance to flip the narrative with some of the promise they've shown this year, makes sense.

I would agree with you but this is like their 3rd year in a row he has performed like this. He is like 5 and 20 in games that are won by less than 10 can't remember the extact stat they put up during the game. Sometimes it is just coaching not talent.
