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.
