I am GLORIOUS

All I'm saying is that I've seen Lee play, both at Jesuit and at Tulane, and he just wasn't very good, comparable to Fyfe. He was a 2-star coming out of HS (#55 pro-style and #137 QB overall) and threw more INT than TDs at Tulane. That being said he was a freshman, so he's had time to improve... I just don't believe that now he's suddenly setting the world on fire. He had a tryout at LSU prior to Nebraska and they passed, which is telling considering all of the QB woes they have had.

I just don't see us winning more than 7 games next year if Lee is the starter. I thought POB was supposed to be the second coming of John Elway?

I've also heard the rumors that POB isn't as good as advertised. All I know is that if Lee is our starter next year we're in trouble.

At best, we're the #6 team in the conference. I just don't understand how some people are OK with that. This "don't worry; it'll be OK" attitude that many people have, when very little growth has been shown in 2 years, just kills me. The clock is ticking -- these are urgent, desperate times -- other teams are passing us by, feast or famine, sink or swim -- but don't worry, it'll be ok.

 

Don't get me wrong, I like Riley. But I also recognize that he's not the guy who's going to return us to the top. Neither will Craig Bohl or some other no-name guy. I'm not even sold on Frost. Les Miles would've been a perfect hire, especially with his son coming here, because he's a big name and and excellent recruiter with ties to the South. Our coach has to be a big-name guy who 4 and 5-star guys will actually want to come to Lincoln to play for. Our recruiting class showed early promise but has fizzled. We have to be able to compete with Meyer and Harbaugh's recruiting classes on a yearly basis, and without a big name coach that'll never happen. We have to follow the blueprint laid out by teams like Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan. Hire a big name and pay top $ if you want to be a top program.

 

This. + 1,000,000 (but...it's Frost!)

I'd be OK with Frost; I'm just not sure about his recruiting ability. That's the importance of having a big name guy. It's gotta be someone who these top-tier recruits will want to come to Lincoln to play for. Sure do wish we could've gotten Miles.

If POB isn't better than Tanner Lee we're in trouble. I saw Lee play multiple times at Tulane and he simply was not a good QB.

I honestly don't think it matters what happens next year. Even if we take a step backwards -- which is likely, with our current talent and next year's schedule -- no way will Eichorst admit that his hire wasn't the right one.

I just pray that we don't play LSU. Fournette and Guice would set an NCAA record. Would much rather play Florida, Tennessee, or Auburn.
