It is simply a bold prediction.
There are some dots that I've tried to connect. Bookie and Frost have been in the same part of the country for the past year and Bookie has an offer from UCF - so they know each other. Nate Clouse was on 1620 a couple weeks ago saying that a "big get" recruit who has offers from both NU and UCF was DM'ing with him asking if he thought Frost would be the next HC and that the recruit would be real excited if that happens. There are a few recruits that have offers from both schools but Bookie is the only "big get" IMO. Its all wishful thinking.
I have a problem with teams getting into the playoffs that don't play in the conference championship game. They get a bye week while the conference champ game players have 1 more game with injuries.
Nebraska still had a head coach on Tuesday. I think Frost has respect for Riley and the coaching fraternity to wait for the position to be open before engaging in serious talk.
There is a chapter in the book "The System" about Moos and him hiring Leach. He doesn't wait around to find his guy. If he is following that same blueprint, he is already speaking with our new coach's representatives and likely close to finalizing a deal. After the Iowa game it be bang bang with the fire - hire.
It all depends on who the coach is and who the holdovers are, etc. but just for fun I’m curious what the pulse is for who we think will stay committed after a coaching change.
I bought 6 tickets for nearly $200 a pop in the late summer also, but for the Wisconsin game. Waste of money and never doing that again.
This week, the people I work with are giving away their tickets to anyone who will take them.
With the schedule next year, a new AD, and the fact we are still paying Bo I think HCMR is here next year. Expectations will be play in Indy in a competitive game or its over.
Call me crazy but we could give HCMR another year or two to see how things play out - especially if they can consistently win and pull off some upsets this year. He has been bringing in better and better classes and this class could be one of the best in a long time.
