Now that I think about it, I guess Frost’s last game was against us in the 98 Orange Bowl...is that right? Hadn’t thought about that before. It was Manning’s last game for us.

Yes sir.

A lot of our fans actually have Frost as the coach we would want the most (if you exclude the Gruden maniacs). We just all assume that it would be a waste of time going after him because he’s either going to Nebraska or staying put. Plus it’s not like we can outbid you...I’d say we are pretty even financially.

You from 247? The guys at volnation say its 99%/an agreement is in place with UT and Frost.

Source says his buddy is in AD with Currie.

It is posts like this one that make me realize just how much damage has been done to the Husker football program (and its fans) by our past administration. 

I get it, having faith after multiple failures is hard. But the people we have running the show now are a different breed.

Moos will land our guy. 

It is true. I want to have faith and optimism but my brain still says bad things are coming!

I think the best sign that we might have Frost locked up is that we haven't heard any other names gain traction in the rumor mill. You'd think at least another name or two would have come through.

It is either that or no one Moos has reached out to is interested.

what in the heck happened today? This morning we were all still feeling great from the news we got last night about Frost being N and tonight this place is dreadful with worry.

Well let's start with the fact that no one really knows anything yet.  You are bound to have wild swings when it is all rumors for weeks on end.

I want to maximize the talent we have with schemes adapted to them.

Build upon that by recruiting to a scheme,  not just star ratings or raw talent. Make sure they actually fit what you want them to do so that they are in a position to be successful.

For once in the last 15 years let's not lose games ourselves with stupid mistakes.

You don't like my acronym?  I'm very skilled at making them.  Here is a sign I made last week for my DOJO (Don't Object to Justice Or else):

 

Oh, yeah.  and BTW, 13% of the NFL is from the state of California, so I wouldn't completely ignore them, but I can kind-of see your point.

Haha. Now that is fantastic.

Any AD worth his salt would have at least given Kelly a call. Good on BM if he did. 

 

Would be wild for Kelly to end up somewhere like ASU. 

But was his first call to Frost, and are you making calls if Frost is already N???

Hmmmmmmm

You can do that and it will show the file? When I try to insert all I see is link

Insert other media -> insert image from url

I just posted Jack here that way.  Find what you want, right click, or hold on mobile, and say open image in new tab. Take url from that new tab.

I'm hopeful that he will:

 

1. Keep the remaining class together because they are excited about what he brings

2. Add some of the top targets he has already been pursuing for UCF.

3. Minimize transfers of better players on the roster - same reason.

4. Aggressively go after JuCo players where he sees immediate holes.

5. Tap into West Coast and Florida pipelines for future classes.

 

I'm calling my strategy: "KAMAT".  What do you think?

I think your acronym skills need work, but I agree with all the points except the last.

I hope we forget about the west coast altogether and recruit the Midwest for heart, and Texas/Florida for program raising talent. The Midwest kids push the big names Rudy-style. 

West coast kids seem to be overrated in higher proportions when they actually play college football than kids from the south.

Well, it's the most confident I've felt about Frost N probably ever.  Peer pressure by reading the board.  The confidence level on this thread is amazing, more than it's ever been.  We're close.

Or close to DEFCON 1!

8 years is a long contract, for a third year head coach.  Hope we get it right this time, because if we don't we will have a huge buy out to deal with.  Every thing you look at indicates Coach Frost will be able to do the job, and it appears the University will give him time.   Only one way to find out. 

I don't think there will be any buying him out. They know we have to get this one right and give it time.

Why would Fisher leave FSU?  And wow, the domino effect is scary 

Because they are already turning on him.

I'm not the most knowledgeable about recruiting stuff, there are people that get much more into it than me. But from my perspective, the star ratings are about the same with Frost as they were with O'Leary. I've heard that Frost hates recruiting. But the players that he gets fit the system well and better than O'Leary. So it's tough to say if he's smarter than the recruiting sites or if he is just better at identifying players that fit needs. 

 

I'm not talking about points, but it's a high-risk defense. They go for turnovers A LOT and get burned by big plays way more frequently than I remember with O'Leary. The penalties are really high and the freakin arm tackles drive me nuts. Have you watched UCF games? The arm tackles are embarrassing. Someone wrap someone up!

 

The defense is not bad and if Frost left and we replaced him with Chinander, I wouldn't be pissed. There are just serious question marks. Enough that if I were you, I wouldn't cry if I didn't get Chinander. 

It worries me a bit if a guy wants to bring his whole staff along to a new job...obviously.  I feel like each spot should be evaluated for the best person, while still being concerned with chemistry, just not solely one or the other.

Chinander is good, but the defense has been inconsistent. Austin Peay put up 30ish points on us in one half. There have been other worrisome signs, as well. Like the insane amount of arm tackles. 

 

The UCF fans calls him Chinan(d)er because sometimes the d is there and sometimes it's not. 

If you have a top 10 offense that goes really fast, you can't really expect to hold everyone to 14 points all the time. You have to be a TOP hog to do that.

It's more about turnovers, situational defense and being sound then.

You know, at first i was like, "geebus, that is sexist"... and then realization set in.

Just an FYI for everyone, incognito mode is the best way to view OWH/LJS articles, but you can also just clear your history/cookies after viewing the max number they allow.

If you are using incognito because of what you are viewing, know that it just keeps it out of your browsing history, but doesn't hide the fact that you went there. Your ISP can still see it.
