Here is why I believe that this is already a done deal.
Eichorst is fired, Moos is hired with the number one priority being to hire the next football coach.
Moos puts out several "feelers" to various candidates to gauge their response (which is what Chip Kelly was referring to)
Moos makes a direct offer to Frost (through the proper agent channels, etc) Now, when offered, SF is either going to say Yes or No--He might need a day or two to think about it, discuss it with his wife, etc. but I am confident that a scenario discussion of this sort had taken place long ago and so the answer is a verbal yes--and there may have been a bit of detail negotiation back and forth about budget for staff salaries, etc.
Frost also communicates to Moos that he does not want this to be made public until AFTER his season is over--to give full focus on his current team and to now allow any distractions from their season. (smart move on his part) He asks that it all be kept quiet until the proper time. Moos and company agree.
Now, the overwhelming fan base choice is Frost, it is who we want, it is who we expect--and expectations are HUGE right now in Husker Nation.......
Now.....lets say when Moos first reached out---and Frost had said NO, or said I will consider it, but will entertain other offers--we will talk after the season.....(something like that)
Don't you think Moos and company would be doing EVERYTHING possible to shift the discussion away from Frost as a lock--as a way of slowly turning down those expectations and perhaps turning up the fire and excitement for another candidate that was wiling to make a solid commitment? I would think they would be smart enough to do this---via media sources, etc. Start shifting the narrative away from Frost and to someone else...
They have been largely silent........
and that leads me to believe the first scenario has taken place and its already a done deal,
