BigRedBuster Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 OK...I'm already tired of seeing Bo's ex players on twitter celebrating the firing.....not because the team was losing....but because of how he treated Bo. 2 Quote Link to comment

I wondered how much it actually had to do with their love of Bo rather than a real hatred for Eichorst. We may never really know if they disliked/hated Eichorst or if they are just towing Bo's line. 1 Quote Link to comment

SP was very much incorrect in his thinking that we are Nebraska and anyone would fall at our feet to coach here. Gotta agree with you about BP, in fact, were TO still the AD I have little doubt he'd still be the HC. Riley was the safe hire. He was well respected among football wonks and nerds, even though not well-known outside of that realm. His age precludes him from being here for more than 5-7 years. Were he to turn the team around he'd announce an heir apparent and retire, if it goes poorly he decides he's to old for this and steps down. Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Well assuming Frost gets a call at the end of the season one would think it would be tough for him to turn down. Coming back to his home state and alma mater is something a huge majority of coaches want to do. I guess the next 4 months will interesting times around these parts. Lets just hope Riley and Co. can put a decent product on the field to give us something good to talk about. Quote Link to comment

wiuhusker Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just now, BigRedBuster said: Doesn't mean he does. I agree. No one here really knows what Frost wants to do. If given the chance I'd like to see him take his shot here. I think he will be successful. But until he's offered the job it's just guesses. Quote Link to comment

Agree, but the article and a lot of fans seem to be suggesting that Nebraska should get back to that way of thinking. I was fine with Pelini's hiring. I was also fine with his firing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Scott Frost would be a safe choice for Nebraska, but I'm not sure Nebraska is a safe choice for Frost. Warm weather, recruiting hotbeds and lower expectations might be hard to leave. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Steve Spurrier had just one more year of college head coach experience when he was hired at his alma matre than Frost does now. It worked out. Quote Link to comment
alwayshusking Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think there would have been a better chance of Frost not returning if Eichorst was still the AD but that has been fixed. Quote Link to comment

Osborne had not been a head coach before he took over for Devaney, neither did Solich when he took over for Osborne. I don't buy this 'needs more head coaching experience' excuse anymore. (No offense. ) Scott has a lot of pluses going for him for this job if he should choose to take it, namely, he understands the culture. That is huge right now. (just my humble opinion.)
