Heisman Trophy Winner
The article, copied below from a post I made on the "Why Frost should stay" thread, has convinced me that regardless of how Scott finishes the last 4 games, it is time to move on. Too many issues from discipline, player selection, recruitment ad nauseum. I don't envy Trev - He's in the middle of a big building program while being on the job for only months and now having to make a big decision about the cash cow under his management. No Fun.
So, I went though most of the pages of the "Serious Search for Coach' thread to pick out the names thrown out by many of us as potential candidates. I thought it would be good to get the 'pulse of Husker (Board) nation"(sorry ADAM CARRIKER for stealing your line) and see who would be the leading candidate if Trev decided to ask us our opinion. I KNOW he is waiting with an open mind for our counsel and help here - so choose well.
About the Poll:
Because of the poll set up of allowing only 3 questions and 15 answers per question, I have spread the list over 2 questions. If your pick(s) aren't in the first section you will still need to place a vote under "see group 2" as each question will need to be answered to be able to close out your voting.
Since I like the idea of 'rank voting' in politics, I've allowed for multiple votes - but please limit it to your 1st and 2nd choice - just 2 votes. And remember to select 'see other group' if your 2 votes are in group 1 or group 2.
The more I look at the list - I find it very difficult to choose a # 1.
The names are listed in alpha order based on last name
After the coach's name is the organization they are associated with and in some cases past organizations (NFL, College)
I intentionally left off unrealistic names like Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer, Bud Grant (RIP), Bill Belichick, Frank Solich, Tom Osborne, and any unproven former Husker players / coach (other than Zac Taylor who is a proven coach)
Finally I added one question asking - based on what you know now - should Frost be retained.? Try to avoid the 3rd answer if possible unless that is your true honest answer.
This is the article that summed it up for me and made me feel that it is time to move on. I don't see 4-0 or 3-1 as happening. 2-2 won't be enough to overcome the issues as noted in the article. My feelings are - lets cherish and honor Scott for the great player that he was. He is one of us and always will be. But lets also honor and cherish our program by moving on in a new direction in 2022.
