I agree, but was just curious people's thoughts.
Harbaugh has done nothing more than any of the 3 prior coaches at Michigan
I would say the consensus on Riley is there is no consensus, but you can feel the general air around everything is uneasy. It's an uncomfortable feeling. I would assume (though, this just my opinion) that much of the fan base is fairly uncertain right now - many like Riley as a person, but it's clear (to this point) that things are not improving and actually regressing in some ways.
Would be a guy very much worth talking to.
So in one instance you are kinda bagging on Harbaugh and in another you are kinda praising him? The point is the only folks that truly know what made us great back in the day are the folks that were in our locker room. They understand what pieces were in place and a lot of people want us to return to what we once were. Power football, swagger, nasty defense, etc. Our roots are in guys like Trev Albers, Scott Frost, etc.
Amen, brother! Completely agree. Here is I think the issue with Frost in some peoples mind. He chose Stanford over coming to Nebraska first. In some minds, coupled with losing at Arizona St in 96' he will never be considered a true Husker legend. I see people still thinking at Turner Gill is a great coach. While I do think he was shorted at KU, I also watched enough of that to tell you that it was heading south. Even KU fired a coach as soon as they saw even worse results in 3 years. Loyality. Loyality is an issue with us looking at Frost. It has to be. He is doing fine at UCF. He is doing what most are asking of him. I still see "lets wait and see what he does at UCF first" responses. He is never going to win a conference title, or play in the playoffs or a major bowl game. Florida ST, Miami, Florida, South Florida are all ahead of UCF in the pecking order in its own area and state. Even to win 7 games a year, your doing pretty remarkable in my opinion. If this school passes on Frost as its next hire, I will laugh so hard when he ends up at somewhere like Kansas ST or Notre Dame or __________ name your team and wins and wins a lot. We then think we could swoop in and hire him, right? I wouldn't take that approach.
I don't get the butt hurt that NU fans had/still have over Frost when he chose Stanford out of high school. He was strong-armed Pro Style, athletic QB back then and Bill Walsh was the Stanford coach. Who better to learn a pro-style offense from? Of course Walsh wasn't at Stanford long, Frost played safety and QB there, and eventually transferred back to Lincoln, and the rest is history.
