Steven M. Sipple: Frost's vision includes being more a CEO-type going forward, Alberts says

Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts says he's unsure exactly why we're so interested in his Sunday conversations with Scott Frost.

After hearing from Alberts on Monday, I'm actually more intrigued than ever.

Let's be clear: Alberts and Frost, the fourth-year Nebraska football coach, didn't have a relationship before Alberts took over in July.

They certainly have one now, a good one, or so it seems.

"Little by little, those Sunday conversations, which started out being 20 minutes, sort of evolved into two- and three-hour sessions of very good, healthy dialogue, although never in the granular details of XYZ coach or play-calling or anything like that, but more just philosophical, high-level stuff," Alberts said in a lengthy interview with the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald.
