"The Nebraska situation is fascinating to me right now, even before Bill Moos had retired — and, by the way, that was in no way, shape or form a retirement," Dodd said. "I just wondered what Nebraska was — what's its brand, does the average 18-year-old think of it? With Scott Frost a few years ago being the hip, young coach who had the chops, who had the ability, who had the background and it's just completely fallen on its face — 12 and 20 in his three years, I think. And going into Year 4, what does that look like? When I suggested he was on the hot seat last year — 'Well, he just signed an extension, wait a minute.'
"And even now, I have people telling me, 'He just needs time.' Well, if you just need that much time in college football these days, that's the school's problem — it's not the coach's problem — because you're probably waiting too long. So he has to go to a bowl game — at least — this year to turn things around. And they don't look like they have the personnel to have it. Now, the guy that hired him, Bill Moos, was escorted out with a nice three-million-dollar severance package. You know, you don't give somebody, if he quit — which is what they're saying, he retired — you don't give him $3 million five days later.
"But so, now, the new AD — whoever he is — did not hire Scott Frost. And what does that look like and what kind of pressure's on him? I think the first pressure point we'll see on that — I'd look very closely to see if the streak ends on Nebraska this year. They did not sell out for the spring game. Because of COVID, it was only half capacity. But they didn't fill it. And that would be a huge indicator, if they do not have a sellout this year, the way things are going at Nebraska."
