I just don't see the difference when you can talk to other coaches through their agents and say we will fire our guy the day before you are willing to publicly accept our offer. Sure but it takes out rumors and speculation. UF can now begin their search in a very public way. Look how our own fan base was torn last night. People were glad we won but feared success might keep the current HC. Florida does not need to deal with that now. 7 Link to comment

If Riley had that McElwain's record he wouldn't be fired this year. I think they go after Chip Kelly, he seems like a decent fit there. I think Frost doesn't want to go there. I think that is a very real possibility. They could hire Kelly early and Florida HS speed would bode well in his offense. Link to comment
Hayseed Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) I was just kidding....I guess I wasn't. I think they go after Frost, that's why they fired McElwain now....to get a jump on us. Edited October 29, 2017 by Hayseed Link to comment

If Riley wins out, he's coming back... if we fired him after one of these atrocious losses, we guarantee a change. Riley isn't coming back especially after Florida doing this 1 Link to comment

Even then I think the only situation he stays is if Frost, Campbell and others turn us down or go elsewhere. If we are left between hiring Jay Long from Chadron State or keeping Riley we will likely stick with Riley so we can try again next year but I think we can get someone this year even if that isn't Frost.

timmytbro Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I am freaking out about this Florida firing deal. It sounds like Frost is going to be getting some calls. I hope all our assumptions are true and Scott will wait for Nebraska to make a move. .... I hate the gators so much.... The crap they pulled on Mcelwaine, at least Nebraska would give frost patience.

4skers89 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 ESPN isn't reporting McElwain being fired. Link? Link to comment

Benning became fairly close to Frost in '95 and '96, and said that Frost had a difficult time adjusting to NU and how most of the defense treated him like crap in his redshirt season of '95. I thought that D treated every offensive player like crap regardless if what team they played for Link to comment

4skers89 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 We may have screwed ourselves by toughening up Frost too much. Maybe he feels tough enough to take on the rigors of a Florida job. Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Again, I don't see Frost interested in the Florida job and I don't see Florida interested in Frost. I don't think Frost makes any move either until he sees what Nebraska does. Link to comment

Not that I know the full story, by any means. So many people say Nebraska cannot hire a top coach because we fire coaches too quickly. By that reasoning, how can Florida hire anyone when they fire a coach who won the division two years in a row mid-season, and do it with cause the coach does not get paid. I don't see the problem getting fired from Nebraska. All of our ex coaches are sitting sound cashing fat checks for years. I would love to be an ex Nebraska HC. 1 Link to comment
Stone Cold Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I hope we didnt just mess this up by not firing him lastnight. Link to comment
