You need work on your reading comprehension. I said nothing about them not having won games. It said it was like......

I read it just fine.  Your incessant love for UCF and Frost are borderline stalkerish.

We should have hired him 3 years ago.

In hindsight, we absolutely should have hired him three years ago. Absolutely. Almost painful to think about how much better that probably would have been.

But again...three years ago his resume wasn't even better than Bo's was in 2007 when Osborne brought Bo in. It just wasn't. I'm not saying that a comparison to Bo's resume is any kind of extremely important benchmark but there honestly wasn't any indication three years ago that he was ready to take over one of the most storied programs in college football history even though he is Scott Frost.

All they are doing is increasing the amount we have to spend to get them. 

Yes, and we have such a proven track record of being willing to pony up big cash for a good coach, don't we?

Reports of leaving Houston are 'absolutely' false, Tom Herman says

 

 

 

I don't know anything about Herman's character but he's not from Nebraska. I suspect Frost suffers from the affliction known as being honest. It's also one thing to deny rumors to keep your team focused versus a verbal commitment to stay until a job is complete.

Todd McShay said on the Ryan Russilo show that he thinks Frost stays at UCF.

 

Eh, Todd McShay generally doesn't know his a-hole from his elbow, though.

Exactly. Todd McShay isn't paid to be accurate, he's paid to be interesting. He'll say whatever will be the most provocative and draw the most attention, with only a wink and a nod paid to accuracy.

I can't remember who posted it, but someone said probably the best strategy: have TO call him and ask. If he turns Tom down, then we know it was never meant to be.

And he's probably still more accurate than he is interesting.

They'll just start talking about corn yields and we won't get this done in time. We need to send someone from outside the state of Nebraska.

Are you going to be OK if we hire Frost?

I also have to laugh at their attempt to raise money and hope people will spend money each month to this fund. They only get around 30k people that go to a game and their stadium need major repairs. 

 

...

 

 

It seems like buying tickets to the games would both show support and raise money at the same time.   Hmmmm.

 

They should ask that each week fans donate money in exchange for a piece of paper that allows them to come and watch a game.  Then they could have other fundraisers, like charge for parking, and sell food and drinks.  It's a novel idea and just could work to keep the coaching staff there.

Three years ago, his resume was a helluva lot better than Riley's.

Just a friendly tip.  Don't make this conversation about the person you're talking to. Make it about the subject at hand.

 

Refrain from "you" posts.  Those get interpreted as personal, and if it becomes a heated discussion, it can be interpreted as a personal attack, and then there's all sorts of trouble. Dogs and cats, living together. Mass hysteria.

On paper, Frost hadn't done squat as a coach. He's only through three sit-ups now.

I don't know that this would be accurate - but - I totally agree that I would love to build a time machine and have taken Frost over Riley, knowing what we know now.
