The Scarlet Pimpernel

Bring in Ed Orgeron and the other assistants from LSU, many of whom have Nebraska ties. They all can recruit, which is what we desperately need.

We need some serious recruiters added to the new staff. That's why I said to offer a guy like Ed Orgeron some sort of spot. That guy could recruit to Alaska.

I guaran-dam-tee we hit 6 wins next year and make it to a bowl, and it'll be hailed as progress.... then the following year it'll be either a decline or another 6-7 win season. We're just prolonging the agony.

It's the easiest, most convenient option, and to this point, that's the route Frost has chosen.

He can wait as long as he wants for a more favorable job. He doesn't need to be in a rush; he's still making millions from Texas. If you seriously expect us to land someone of his caliber as OC, you're going to be terribly disappointed. It's gonna be either Helfrich or some other no-name coach that very few people have ever heard of. LOL that's what fans were saying before this season

I'm telling ya: 6-6 next year (aka "progress") followed by another losing season. We're prolonging the agony.

Napier will likely have an SEC HC job in the near future.

I don't know what more it's going to take for people to realize that Tom Herman is not going to come here as an OC, and you're plain delusional if you think he would. Heck, Tom Herman might not even come here if we offered him the HC job. The guy will have plenty of other better offers than OC at Nebraska.

I see 6-6 next year, and then another losing season to follow. We're just prolonging the misery at this point.

that's my point - he'll have many other better options than Nebraska.

I'm telling ya, next year he'll find a way to hit 6, and it'll prolong the misery.

I'm just waiting for the announcement of Helfrich. You know it's coming.

Winning isn't a guarantee, no matter who you hire. What I'm saying is, guys like Fickell and Napier can pick and choose where they want to go, and it won't be Nebraska. I know that money talks, but those other big schools can offer just as much as we will.

I'm expecting quite a few to leave. These kids want to win, and despite all of Frost's claims about how "close" they are, some of them aren't going to keep waiting.

The coaches they're targeting are not the same coaches that we would be targeting. We need a young up-and-comer looking to take the next step, or a guy like Herman or Mullen who's looking to rebound. My prediction: Next year we'll win 6, it'll be hailed as "progress," and will only prolong the inevitable.

It’s believed here in South Louisiana that Lincoln Riley is headed to LSU. Met with the AD early this morning to iron out the details.

We're hardly a "high profile" program. Lots of Nebraska fans like to think we are, but we're not.

Call Tom Herman or Dan Mullen and offer a chance at redemption. Doesn't take a brilliant person to figure it out.

I don't see how anyone who watched today's game would possibly second-guess him being fired now. There are plenty of good coaches out there: Mullen, Herman, Chadwell, Calhoun, etc.

I'd imagine that after today, the majority of boosters have seen enough and will be making calls to AD Alberts.

Just makes me wonder how many games we could have won with a competent HC.

There were bad calls on both sides. Have there been bad calls this season? Yes. None of them matter, though. We would have defeated ourselves anyway, just like today.

My biggest concern is that we hit 6 wins and they proclaim what "progress" it is and it only prolongs the inevitable

You're delusional, my friend. This one falls 100% on his shoulders, period.

Heck my uncle Frank would do better than Frost next season
