Name someone else on that board averaging less than 4 losses. And nice try exploiting a small sample size.

Mike Leach would be a disaster. He is being made a hero for being very average with Washington State. Poor Tennessee if that's who they settle on.

if he is truly a realistic option, he is the best alternative that has been mentioned thus far

Throw Paul Rhodes name in the hat...he's just as good as any of the other hotshots up for second place

I suggest you fact check b/c Hoke never led an undefeated season at a mid major. in fact in 8 seasons at mid major level, he averaged 6.25 losses per season. Wonder why he never worked out... My point is the back up option is no better than randomly drawing from a hat of names.

screw market. max out the offer. too important to play market games, unless you want average as your next head coach.

ok Mike Riley. Then settle if you wish. Can't wait to see what he can do with all the resources in Nebraska.

Again, to me it's Frost or bust. Why? When Urban Meyer was hired by Florida, he averaged exactly 2 losses a season. When he was hired by OSU, he averaged 1.5 losses per season at Florida. Compare that to Riley who averaged 4.5 losses per season at Oregon State before being hired. Well, in three season he gave us an average of 6.3 losses. Matt Campbell: Really after one decent year at Iowa State Moos wants to bring him in? FFS. They just lost to Kansas State apparently b/c of game management issues. He only won 7 games. And in 6 seasons total averages 4.8 losses a season at Toledo and Iowa State. This coach, no matter how good or how young, has done nothing to suggest he can make Nebraska a perennial 9-12 win team. Kevin Sumlin: Ok...when Sumlin was hired by Texas A&M, he averaged 4.25 losses a season at Houston. What do they get? At Texas A&M, he then averages 4.16 losses per season. Shocking... Dan Mullen - Dude averages 5.1 losses per season. No thanks, second coming of Mike Riley. JUSTIN FUENTE - Ok, now my controversial commentary. The contrarian's favorite here averaged 5.75 losses per season at Memphis. Combine that with Virginia Tech and he's averaging exactly 5 losses per season. No thanks left field Justin Fuente. Take your averageness and keep it in Blacksburg where you are a hero. This is why I want all eggs in on Frost. Dude is coming off massive success this season. Home grown. Knows Nebraska. I think his upside gives us the best chance to contend for 9-12 wins per season. We get AVERAGE with all of the candidates listed above. With Frost, we have a chance to really get the lightning in a bottle we so badly need...but then turn that into sustained success. There is no other option.

I'm now sold on John Fox as Head coach, Lovie Smith for DC, and Jim Mora as OC. Anything less would be a sea of mediocrity.

LOL...and the new head coach of the Florida Gators..... John Fox!!!!!!!

man I'm sorry you had a bad dump. You deserve better than dumps that remind you of the current state of Nebraska Football. Nothing beats those '95-'96 dumps, where you just dominate every aspect of the dump experience while also making the commode humble by giving it no choice but to swallow your domination. Kinda reminds me of the purpose of Florida's head coaching position.

Hopefully us vs UCF happens off the football field. otherwise outlook not so good.

I swear to Head Lee Lavar Ball that if the next coach, whoever it is, thinks another QB with the last name "Lee" is a good fit, I'm done. That includes Frost. The only Lee going forward should be Head Lee Lavar Ball. Zac Lee, Tanner Lee, Zane Lee, Bryson Lee, Mitch Lee....no good.

Hopefully this Head Lee Lavar Ball guy is spot on and in a week i can disappear a rejuvenated Husker fan.

I can spell their names but I am choosing not to spell them properly on purpose....to portray how exciting each prospective hire would be.

Therein lies the problem for me. No one else makes any sense at all. You need to be confident in closing the deal. If you can't close Frost, it's all the same after that. just throw a dart at a board. Fuentes, Somelin, and Mullins are equally meh. might as well put every egg in your top choice b/c you can just close your eyes and pull out of a hat for 2nd place and enjoy sustained 3-5 loss seasons with no upside.

This FUENTE guy consistently loses at least 3 games a season. No wonder he is making an impression on our fans.

Great. We now have fans who believe Fuentes is a better candidate than Frost. Fuentes has never lost less than 3 games in a season. For me, anything less than Frost is a disappointment.
