To me, if MOOS does not go after Scott Frost with vengeance, he is as bad as Eichorst. We really have a chance to get the next Tom Osborne in hiring Scott Frost, if Moos pulls an Eichorst and gets another Rileyesque coach, I will hibernate for three years and wait for another failed experiment to end. Honestly, watching one train wreck after another starts getting to you at some point. It is depressing when you find yourself predicting by how much your team will lose to NORTHWESTERN!!!!!,!,!!,!
Amen Brotha! I've been hibernating for 3 years and just see a ray of hope now. I just hope to heck that he just goes and gets Frost and doesn't try to put some personal renegade stamp on the hiring. Anxiously waiting and hoping! Bring Scotty home!

Just waiting for the coach to be gone, like I have for 3 years...
And hopefully Frost to bring some hope and excitement back!

I can legitimately give one scenerio to keep Riley.
Instead of maybe only spending 3-4 million on a new coach while also paying Pelini and Riley, Doing a full reboot again, they do this.
For 2018 Riley stays
Cavanaugh and Langsdorf are fired
They bring in a top tier OLine Coach and Pay up for an ELITE Offensive Coordinator on a 1 year deal. An OC who runs a more power run focused version of the WCO.
You hire that elite OC with the understanding that if things go well they will be given the head job within 5 years.
This gives Diaco a full year to let us see if his D will work, you give yourself a shot at an elite OC with a senior QB without a system change and if you strike gold GREAT. You have solidified your future on Offense and Defense and don't go full panic mode.
If it fails then you fire Riley and reboot with more money (say $5-7M) to put towards a new coach (Pelini, Riley and Eichorsts contracts are 1 more year off the books) and an easier schedule in 2019 for that first year transition.
Basically I'd rather risk 2018 being a complete throwaway year in hopes of getting lucky than to trust our Adminiatration not to just make another on the cheap midlevel hire simply because we're paying Millions of dollars for a bunch of people not to work at Nebraska anymore.
It sounds insane after watching what happened tonight, but honestly I Still would trust Riley's ability to hire an elite OC and OL Coach for next year more than I trust our Admin's abilty to hire a new Head Coach that is what we want them to be. As long as those coaches have no affiliation with Oregon State.

Out of curiosity...are any other schools in Power 5 conferences aggressively pursuing Scott Frost?

Yeah, could be a hatchet man but there's really no logic in doing that anyway, a longer term guy could easily fire Riley.
Would you want someone who succeeded in his budget or failed? (even if it's harder to fail here)
He has no connections and doesn't know Nebraska. Does he even know one person in Nebraska. He just used to watch NU-OU games. His personality/style might fit in well but doesn't know NEbraska. Mike Riley's personality might fit in but he sure doesn't know NE.
I hope you're right in Rimington or similar in a couple years (but then only sign Moos to 2 years!).
Frost MAY like the guy but he would almost certainly rather work with one of the other guys.
Every decent AD in the country should know who Frost is!
Do you KNOW what kind of search and hire he would do? It's all question marks with him.
I'm not saying it's a terrible hire (like I said Callahan and Riley were), but there sure seem to be a lot more question marks with Moos than some of the others. I certainly hope he works out but with uncertainty comes apprehension.
I think you have my favorite picture
-
Not sure I understand this hire.
Why get a guy who is past retirement age to run the future of your athletics program?
Why get a guy who has his department in a huge budget deficit?
Why NOT get someone with Nebraska ties who would know the culture of the program?
Why NOT get someone with Nebraska ties who would already have an "in" of familiarity and trust with boosters/fans for fundraising? I'd have a lot more trust in giving money to Paul Meyers, Trev Alberts, Rimington, Ed Stewart, etc.. then some unknown dude.
Why NOT get a guy who we know Frosty would like to work for?
Makes me nervous about a hopeful coaching hire. This fan base is almost lost of hope, another WTF coaching hire and you could lose a big chunk for a long time.
Just get Scott Frost here and you'll be ok, Moose!

I don't get the comments that Frost needs to prove more to get the head coaching job at NU. If he ever gets the NU job, or if he lands elsewhere, he has proven himself and has a very strong resume worthy of being hired by a power 5 program. It might as well be NU trying to hire him.
Exactly!

Well, he's currently 9-7 as a head coach. His résumé, at least to me, doesn't really scream P5 yet. Maybe lower tier P5.
A strong finish to the 2017 season will do wonders for him. He'll be highly sought after if UCF goes undefeated or wins the conference and goes to a major bowl.
He inherited a 0 win team and led them to 6 wins and a bowl game. That was the biggest turnaround in the country last year and the 4th biggest in the NCAA in the last 20 years. I'd say that's pretty impressive on a resume.
Mike Riley inherited a 9 win team and led them to 6 wins. You have to look at the context, there's a big difference in 6 win seasons there even though the win total is the same.

I think Vitalis is actually Riley's agent.

Yes, another "brilliant" idea from a forum poster guy. Great idea. Let's fire this coach and hire some other guy that's a former Husker player to send recruiting back into yet another tailspin. I've said it before, and I'll say it again . . . it's all about recruiting. We need consistency in our program to reliably recruit the best players. This game tonight only illustrated that Whiskey had the best offensive linemen in the Big 10. Our new defensive alignment didn't have the beef yet to compete. They might if we keep our coaching staff in place, but dumb Husker fans are like corporate shareholders. They only look at short term gains and don't plan for the long term. Given the intellect of the most vocal Husker fans, I predict yet another s#!tstorm and another firing on our road to eventual Iowa State status by 2020.
Did someone take a shot of tequila every time Wisconsin ran the ball? ;-)

Remember when we used to be the physical team who demoralized the opponent. Golly gee, I sure miss that.
MR and staff have helped us know what the other teams used to feel like, being the bully feels better :).
I've said Riley sucks since the day he was hired and caught a lot of crap for it, I stand by that assessment.

Add Coach Wannstedt and you got a deal
Haha, I'd love Wannstedt as DC!

Hernandez had a long history of being a D-bag before he ever got to the NFL. Reportedly many NFL teams didn't even have him on their draft board for exactly that reason. Apparently his family is in denial and hopefully the lawyer has to pay for a ridiculous lawsuit.

Frost has been a successful coach every year as OC, DC, and HC:
1st year as HC took a 0-12 team to 6-7, the biggest win turnaround in the country (+6). Riley was -3.
2-0 so far this year.
OC at Oregon (year, total Offense, scoring O, rush O, pass O)
2015 5, 5, 5, 36
2014 3, 4, 20, 10
2013 2, 4, 9, 21
One year as DC at Northern Iowa (2008) - total D 23rd, scoring D 9th.
With his obvious ties/history at Nebraska, he knows the culture, history and attitude of Nebraska, and would likely stay for a long time.
I would love to see him go with the Nebraska physical, tough, smashmouth attitude vs the Oregon fast attack. I think that approach also helps defenses.
Today in UCF win over Maryland, Rushing 39-250 yds, Passing 30-178yds.

This is a GREAT article from Bruce Feldman from August ranking ADs and what are their most important job responsibilities. If we can get any of these guys consider ourselves lucky
Who's the Best Athletic Director in the Country
Interesting that the ADs say the most important part of the job is culture building.
Nebraska has had a special culture that Pederson and Eichorst did not know/fit with. I do like the idea of Alberts or Rimington because they know what Nebraska culture is and should be.

Need to have "Apathetic" as an option. I'll never be excited with Riley as HC, exactly like when Callahan was here (except Riley is a better person). I believe SE tied his neck to MR with his secret, no other input, and WTF hire. I just hope they are both gone after this year instead of later so I can feel optimism for 2018.
What's with people ok with 5, 6,7,8 wins? Shouldn't 9 wins be our minimum and any less a definite disappointment.

He should hire Barry Switzer.
Haha, is he even still alive or did the crack dealing finally get to him

apparently not with the Cincy team I thought he had a top 10 TFL squadDiaco's stats as a DC (Scoring D and Total D):
2009 Cincy 44/67
2010 ND 23/50
2011 ND 24/30
2012 ND 2/7
2013 ND 27/31
So there ya go. Considering ND's recruiting rankings, I'm not sure these are great.
The sacks and tackles for loss were generally in the bottom half of all teams so don't expect a lot of disruption.
True that, I don't know why ND was so different. Here are the stats on Sacks/TFL
2009 Cincy 10/3
2010 ND 54/77
2011 ND 59/77
2012 ND 22/78
2013 ND 96/107

You can still have a run-centric and powerful offense out of different formations (like shotgun vs I). Auburn is a good example of that.
Bottom line, Nebraska should not have the 90th ranked offense no matter who is at QB.
Really??? Because if I'm a defense and I know the QB I'm playing against doesn't make good decisions and isn't a strong passer, I might favor the run heavily... Bottom line, Tommy could not throw like a QB should be able to, teams knew this and keyed their defensive schemes around it. And shouldn't have an offense ranked 90th no matter who we have at QB is the most idiotic thing I've read on these forums (congratulations on that). Could have put Drew Brown at QB and had a better offense than we had last year by your logic.
So you think Nebraska's talent is 90th in the country?
If the QB was sooooo bad, then why not use one of the other QB's? Plenty of true freshman QBs have done very well in college football lately. Do you think all of our QBs are 90th or worse in the country? Osborne won with Matt Turman for goodness sakes.
Do you think any defenses ever stacked against our run, ever? Or do so now against any rush heavy teams?

What a S&!t show! MR is imcompetent, Diaco is a douche. I just can't wait to get rid of these guys and hopefully get a good ole Nebraska guy (can you say Scott Frost) back here.
