Lot's of people warmed up to the idea of him being coach (including me), but I don't know of very many people who actually LIKED the hire the very first time it was announced. I was definitely disappointed when the breaking notification came through on my phone. Totally different feel this time. 1 Quote Link to comment

The same thing happened when Riley was hired. And yes, some people here questioned the hire based on his .500 career winning percentage. Cowherd was one who hated it. Quote Link to comment

You speak for the boosters? Because Perlman seemed to have a hard time getting support to fire Pelini. Quote Link to comment

My hopes were dashed like so many others. Yeah I had a lot of hope for this season and even after the 1st week I was still nervously optimistic. The oregon game pissed me off and the niu game made me give up any hope of the staff working. After that it became "alright, who would be a good hire if Frost didn't come" Quote Link to comment

Thought I remember reading he and the ginger tried to fire him in 13. But the regents I think blocked them. They snuck it through in 14 and the regents got pissed because somewhere about ten years prior they had seen this movie before and didn't like how it ended. Gotta find that article. It would be funny if it wasn't the autopsy of our football program. Quote Link to comment

In that game, it was never more clear that this staff had no business coaching in Lincoln and never more clear that Eichorst's days were numbered for his hire's declining performance on top of prior antics with Friday night games and no Black Friday games.

With all due respect, it was generally thought to be a good or decent hire but not nearly the response that Frost has gotten. Not that it really matters what these guys think. IIRC wasn’t Mcilwain thought to be one of the Home run hires that year Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Similar vibes from Yahoo Sports: WINNER: NEBRASKA Scott Frost chose with his heart instead of his brain, which is good news for Cornhuskers fans. There’s no planet on which Nebraska is a better job than Florida. But Frost felt the tug of home, and the cakewalk of the Big Ten West over the mud fight of the SEC. It will be interesting to see how he recruits to his system at Nebraska, as there are no organic local recruiting grounds. But Frost has proven to be a prodigy on the sideline, and the sense here is that recruits will follow a winner. Props to Frost for taking his whole staff from UCF, as that’s a positive karmic vibe going forward. The shade they throw on Tennessee is quite aggressive. 1 Quote Link to comment

Um...the shade they throw on Tennessee? Did you read what he said about Nebraska? There's nothing positive in there about us, other than we got Frost by playing on his emotions. Other than saying "Winner: Nebraska", there's nothing in there that would suggest that we "won". Then again, Pete Thamel is the author of this article--a noted anti-Nebraska, anti-B1G, pro-SEC hack, and someone who has done some rather morally unconscionable things in order to get info on stories about NCAA players (e.g. the Honey Badger debacle of 2012). The former I can overlook--the latter, well, not so much. Edited December 13, 2017 by VectorVictor 1 Quote Link to comment
