I would imagine that the pitchforks would come out in full force!!!

lol, hilarious!!

technically, he goes by both.

lol, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if we got bellichick or beetle Bailey!!

thank you sir... glad you have allowed me to participate.

it would be interesting if something happened that Frost did accept the Florida job that how many of those assistants would leave him if they had a chance to be assistants with Nebraska... I would imagine most of them.

I agree completely with you... excellent post. thanks for the welcome.. I'm really enjoying it here. same goes for our forum, you're more than welcome to participate... I've never met a bad Nebraska fan and an appreciation for college football, in general.

@B.B. Hemingway I think the soonest an announcement will be made is Sunday or Monday after the conference championship games.

Quentin flowers is dynamic... I think it's going to be a slobber knocker because they really dislike each other and won't be surprised if it gets a little chippy... this game will come down to turnovers and quite possibly who has the ball last.

I think that offense would be good for close to another 100 all-purpose yards.

thank you for the perspective and for the welcome... everyone here has been a class act and I'm enjoying the conversation!! @BIGREDIOWAN, I agree with every point you made... I still believe it's a toss up, and in reality, only Scott knows where he's going to end up. home is the tie that binds, that's for sure. the great thing he has going is that he's going to have his pick of schools and therefore not limited as far as choices go.

that's an excellent point.. if they keep having this kind of success, it's just a matter of time.. possibly during the next alignment..

UCF, along with USF, wants to be mentioned in the same conversation as the big 3 in Florida.... with ours as well as fsu's down season, they may well have accomplished just that.. the UCF/USF game is going to be a great game to watch..

they haven't done it consistently though.. consistency is what they're looking for.. food for thought: imagine what frost's offense would look like if bortles was running his offense while he was @ ucf? would be absolutely sick

I can completely understand that... I would be irate as you guys probably were when that whole situation came about. he is a phenomenal coach and it's just a matter of time before he has his own gig.

no way Mullen comes to Florida... he and Strickland have total disdain for each other from strickland's time @ Mississippi state... it's a matter of diplomacy.

there were some things that were going on in where he and administration were butting heads.. Mac had just got the 15 million dollar IPF and was getting a 60 million dollar, 130,000 square feet stand-alone football facility and after the Iowa bowl win, he openly questioned the administration's commitment to the football program... it was a real slap in the face as far as the administration, specifically Foley, was concerned... it was all downhill from there.

@tyrone_biggums at this point, I think UCF is hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. the greatest thing that Frost has done for UCF is that he is going to leave the program in better shape than when he arrived.. he's proved that the program can be successful. Because of this, UCF will be able to hire a higher caliber coach than what they are historically accustomed to.

every school is going to have its share of bad apples.. having said that, the kind of of examples you have stated are not only reprehensible but also inexcusable.... there's actually a thread on this very subject on Gator Country if you would like to view it.. Mac's offense was regressing and it was clear to see and the fruits of this season has bared as much... he wasn't a good fit for the program... eerily similar to Riley @ Nebraska.

very valid points. I can tell you that florida does not want Taggert. after our last two coaches, the new AD knows two things 1. Florida wants a splash hire and that Taggert would not be considered as such and our fan base would have a total meltdown. 2. he's a new AD and is aware that this has to be a big hire because he wants to establish a legacy and not be in Jeremy Foley's shadow.... and that his tenure will be over before it began if he hires a dud. Florida longs for the days of the fun-n-gun... Spurrier's offense was essentially a precursor to the spread offense that was very heavy on the passing game.. his philosophy at the time was that the pass would open up the run which was completely opposite of the 3 yards and a cloud of dust in that day and age and its pundits said that it would never work... well, the rest is history

Good morning all, Please allow me to say that I come to your board in peace. I've been lurking here for a little bit genuinely interested in the thoughts on Nebraska's prospective coaching search. @seaofred92 has come to our board (Gator Country) for the same reason that I have come here and he has been nothing short of first-class and we're glad to have him there... we always enjoy rival teams, and teams fans such as yourself for good substantive conversation and are very hospitable to all visitors so feel free to drop in if you would like to. now to the coaching topics. Scott Frost is an excellent coach and regardless of where he ends up, a program is going to get a head coach that I forsee being a big part of the future of college football and anyone would be lucky to have him....but to be honest, I'm pretty confident in saying that nobody truly knows where Coach Frost is going to go except for Frost himself. we're not quite sure ourselves (Gator fan base) contrary to the belief that he's already in the bag and our fan base is completely enamored with him and for good reason. As much as I like Frost, I'm actually a Stoops guy and if read between the lines there is actually a possibility that he could be our coach. he still has a house in haile plantation right down the street FROM the OBC (Ole ball coach aka Spurrier) Coach Stoops wife originally did not want to leave Gainesville but understood that the opportunity her husband had in being a head coach at a storied program in Oklahoma. they both have vacation houses right next door to each other in Crescent Beach. the OBC is not only his mentor but best friend... and he is both an ambassador and consultant for UF. the OBC has seen the writing on the wall as far as Mac's inevitable demise and I'm sure he and Stoops have been communicating as much. Before when coach Stoops was asked if he was interested in coaching jobs at Florida he was genuinely committed to the sooners... now he's not and he has no buyout. I believe he still wants to coach, as evidenced in Stoops being in the box at one of the first games that Lincoln Riley coached. he could not sit down and was going crazy when his former team was making great plays. Stoops usually comes out really quick and says no to prospective job offers... he has yet to do that and I'm sure he has been inquired about... Spurrier actually asked him himself. Just some FYI, there are rumblings out of Tallahassee that jimbo may want to leave and is looking at the Texas A&M job. so there's another potential job opening to compete with... I'll never understand why anyone would want to be in that cesspool to begin with.. if the state of Florida was going to have an enema, they would stick the tube in @ the fifty yard line of Doak Campbell stadium... but I digress. In another thread, I saw a prospective coach list that I thought was very interesting and I would like to throw three more names into the ring: Chad Morris Deno Babers (for some reason I believe he ends up @ Tennessee because Butch is gone.) Bobby Petrino (he was actually the coach that florida was going to hire if Urbs turned us down.. but that was before "motorcycle-gate" had occurred.. truly a great offensive mind but can't seem to get out of the way of himself. UF would never consider him now because of his past antics.) at any rate, thank you for allowing me to throw my two cents in and I'm looking forward to great conversation with all of you.
