Maybe he would if the Runza stand offered the Italian Runza and the Philly Runza all year long.

Listen, I wouldn't wish this diagnosis on anybody but, based upon the coaching job this year, are we sure that most of the NU coaching staff doesn't have dementia?

The whole Assistant Coach question is an interesting one. Sure we are going to pay big bucks for Scott Frost. But how much are we going to give him for assistants? LSU led the NCAA in 2016 with almost $5.8M for assistants. Clemson was 2nd with almost $5.4M. Alabama was only $70K behind Clemson. Nebraska was 20th on that list, with $3.75M. Central Florida spent $2.13M on assistants. Source (click the column heading you want to sort on).

Waaaaaaay too intelligent a commentary for most on this board.

Bound to happen with a 120 page thread. It's not like EVERYbody is going to read weeks/days-old pages just to make sure something hasn't been said before.

Scott has such an excellent sense of humor, surely the kid's name is going to be JACK.

One word, and that word is "CRIKEY"!

There is no alternate universe in which to find the answers, but I wonder how much the cancelled UCF games added to SF's future paychecks? Georgia Tech might have been one of the toughest tests on their schedule (and would have surely bumped them from the Ranking that they now enjoy - had they lost). Even if they were not losses, those two cancelled games are games in which no UCF players were injured, which paid unknown dividends down the road. While those two hurricanes caused a lot of financial damage, they likely resulted in quite a windfall for Mr. Frost & Co.

File this under: "If it ain't fixed, don't broke it." Huskers say poor record won’t change how they approach rest of season

Correct, according to this news story: http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-football/hc-sp-uconn-football-notebook-20171111-story.html

We have talented players on the roster. But we have a combination of things happening right now that could be changed quickly by a competent coaching staff: • Good coaches match their schemes to their personnel. I feel like Diaco's first mistake was coming in with a scheme and trying to make the existing personnel fit that. As was said at the start of the season, it effectively turned everybody on defense into Freshmen. • We also need to get back to basics on both lines. Everything starts there. Your "skill" players don't get much of a chance on offense if the line doesn't do its job. • When it comes to motivation, I feel like it is a combination of knowing that this coaching staff's evaluation of their play is not going to affect their position on the depth chart NEXT year **and** going into "don't want to get injured" mode. I don't have a better explanation for how Minnesota could rush only 3 and still sack a mobile QB at the end of that debacle of a game. • Finally, we need a coach on the sideline that understands human psychology. A lot of people forget that Tom Osborne had both a Masters and a PhD in Educational Psychology. If you don't think that influenced his coaching then you missed a lot. Now our next coach doesn't need a PhD in psychology, but they do need to understand how to push players buttons and motivate them. And they need to understand how important it is to dominate your opponent psychologically. You don't do things in a game that give hope to the other side (like go for it on 4th down in your own territory when there is a lot of game left to play and the score means that it is still anybody's game). • A new coach is not going to make next year's schedule any less daunting, but they CAN affect the product on the field and way the players approach each game (and the amount of effort we see there). This is not, by any means, an exhaustive list but just the things I see "off the top".

So I'm guessing his wife's Pinterest page would be out of the question.

Fair enough. Some might find that someone could post over 20,000 times to a forum that was not about curing cancer somewhat disturbing. But to each his own. In fairness, most of our fan base, if given the choice between the Cornhuskers returning to greatness and curing cancer would probably choose the former.

Frankly, I think that the fan's annoying, insipid "Gator Chomp" would be enough to dissuade me from taking the Florida job, no matter HOW much it paid. That thing drives me NUTS.

I agree. But the interest needs to be there from the other direction, as well.

Except that I'm guessing that Scott Frost and Chip Kelly are still on friendly terms. If Moos is not genuinely interested in Kelly (or Kelly in Nebraska), Frost would probably be able to find out with a phone call.

As long as I'm running my ignorance up a flagpole to see if anybody salutes... I'd just like to add that, from a bargaining standpoint, Moos needs to have somebody else he is (allegedly) interested in when going after Frost. He needs to be able to throw a little scare into Frost that the job is NOT just automatically his and he might go a different direction (to also keep the price tag at least somewhat reasonable). I'd just like to throw out there this: That Les Miles' expressing interest in Oregon State is really just a way of him saying that he is very open to job openings right now. Being a former coach himself, he knows better than to publicly express interest in a job that already is manned by a sitting coach (even one who is expected to be fired). That is just professional courtesy. So, I'm guessing that Les Miles is also on Moos' short list right now.

Clearly you are unfamiliar with the techniques of intelligence work (or in this case: unintelligence work).

It sure does. Never knew what he looked like before. So this is just the whole wedding party. No parents. Occam's Razor. As you were...

Dang. If so that blows THAT theory. Unless I'm still right about the bride's father being in the photo. But that makes it even a stranger grouping (from a photography standpoint).

I love how everybody thinks that only Scott's parents want to be near their grandchild and only his thoughts matter. Where do his wife's parents live, anyway???

Assuming the question is not tongue-in-cheek, I'll connect the dots. His kid is on the Cornhuskers roster. Nebraska is expected to be in the market for a Head Coach. He is a hire who would fill many with hope for the program. His saying that he is interested in the Oregon State job is a KIND way of saying he is open to offers from any school (like Nebraska, who has not yet fired their current head coach).

I do not get the Scott Frost talk. His offense would not be a good fit for Nebraska or for being competitive in the Big10 (imho). We want to be what Wisconsin or Ohio State is, an offense that has an OL that can beat down a defense & impose their will. You don't get that with a spread offense. That at being said, we could hardly be much worse than be are right now.

This game looks a lot better on radio.
