Florida is focusing their attention on Frost now. Not saying he is going to Florida, but Florida is going to make another push for him.

Schaefer mentioned that he didn’t think Frost was a done deal this week. There are a lot of reasons to believe Frost is coming home, but there’s still some reason to be nervous. It’s not simply dumb National writers speculating because they don’t believe we are a good destination.

INebraska has already offered Frost everything he wanted and a very high money amount. That's why he said yes to Nebraska.  

Florida had conditions on their contract with Scott. That's why he said NO-twice.

ESPN bottom line just said Florida officials are meeting with Scott's people this weekend.

Tennessee Rivals site continues to report that they are hearing Frost to NU.

 

They have Mullen, Gruden (who even they say isn't going there), Campbell and Schiano as the likely candidates for their job.

I am still 200% sure it is frost. I'm saying "yet" because as others have said until ink hits paper. I know we will pay him the most and I know we are home to him. I also know he hasn't backed out of his verbal agreement via his agent with us last Friday. 

 

Could he back out still? Yep he sure could. Nothing any of us can do about that. But TO gave his blessing already in the whole ordeal to the parties involved. Scott from my understanding has a lot of integrity and I would imagine his word is as good as gold. We will just have to wait and find out. 

 

Take a day to step away from it all and enjoy family and friends huskerboard!

my source says he already accepted the florida job, and moos is scrambling for a coach.

Hmmmm we have agreed to terms but nothing can be signed until the regular season concludes....i don't know what else you expect at this point.

Hedley, is that you trolling those poor vols?

Quote

I will as much as I can.

- Scott Frost (or his agent) reached out to UT AD in late September stating he would have interest should an opening come

- Currie then went to watch Scott Frost coach during the bye week. Not sure if he was allowed official contact but definitely had back channel agent contact.

- Someone that I know that actually speaks to Currie directly on a somewhat regular basis says Currie is all in on Frost and the reason we have not seen a scramble of interviews and news from the AD is not tight lips as much as Currie already having his guy and has kept that to a very tight circle.

- Now that Kelly to UF is all but done the only competing job that would have competed for Frost should be filled very soon

-Nebraska is a non factor from what my friend said. Would be like Peyton coming to coach here. Some people do not want to tarnish their image if things do not work out at their Alma Mater. Right now everyone here LOVES Peyton. Let him have some 6-6 or 5-7 seasons and half the fan base is ready for a lynching. Peyton has said this publicly. The same could be the case for Frost at Nebraska plus we can pay more.

I am 99% sure Frost will be our next Coach as of right now. No one is immune to being wrong and things can and do change but at this point I believe this is all but done. I am very careful about making predictions because I definitely know the ramifications of being wrong on here.

Of note - Moore was considering Florida State.  Florida State's coach is now at aTm.  Josh's brother currently an aTm commit.

 

That said, it was really sounding like Moore was one who might stick with Nebraska.  But this adds another layer of complexity to that decision.

Mav, any thoughts on how the change may impact his brother? I know Jordan had flirted with us a bit at one point.

So according to the 247 Article - Frost will be bringing:

DC: Chinander

OL: Austin

QA: Ruud

RB: Held

QB: Verduzco

S&C: Duvall

12 more years of OCDL confirmed! 

I'm up to page 200. I'll try to keep going tomorrow.  You guys say a whole lot of nothing.

Frost has had offer since 11/4. Reaching out to others to create a safety net if frost backs out is smart business.

Bill Moos is going to be getting all the credit for pulling this off, but frankly I think there has been only one guy in contact with SF (and quite possibly his agent):

Did we already talk about this? He is saying if Chip goes UCLA (which Chip will pick Fl/UCLA) then Florida is going all in on Scott 

On 11/22/2017 at 9:43 AM, Husker Q said:

Back in Lincoln for Thanksgiving and talked to a real "insider" (which nobody wants to hear) but he told me "done deal", Scott is N.

I was always pretty sure he'd come but after talking to him I feel much more confident and relaxed instead of anxious.  Just waiting for the announcement.

GBR, I see a beautiful and Frosty winter ahead!

Not the most difficult prediction, but Kernel establishes some credibility. 

On 11/22/2017 at 9:02 AM, Kernel Red said:

 

Well Hedly, that ties up the only bit of information I had that was a little different from what you've stated as I knew there were several folks on call for a Saturday announcement. If they aren't announcing Frost at the same time, it seems like that presser will be very short as I see no for Riley to be there.

 

Do you see any chance that they announce Frost on Saturday even if UCF beats USF? Otherwise, this state is going to go bat $hip crazy (fueled by the media) if we're coach-less for a week. 

On 11/22/2017 at 1:07 AM, HCScF said:

You heard it here first. My cousin in the athletic department told me Scott Frost to NU is a done deal, 8 year 48 million after a late push by UCLA. Hiring will be announced Monday regardless of UCF-USF game.

On 11/22/2017 at 6:00 AM, gobiggergoredder said:

Heard the Moos asked several of the vocal boosters to “show me the money” and they did pretty quick.

Hedley returns and updates his prediction which later proves to be accurate. Goodjob Hedley. 

On 11/22/2017 at 8:24 AM, Hedley Lamarr said:

I was wrong about Riley announcement Friday. Will hold press conference on Saturday now. 

On 11/21/2017 at 10:28 PM, Kernel Red said:

I'm nowhere near as plugged in as Hedley, but the one thing I have been told over and over from a person in a position to know is that Nebraska's heavy hitters were not messing around this time and that Moos would be given all the resources he needed to get the job done right. What I really love is that Green and Moos didn't really even attempt to hide the fact that Scott was THE target. That's a huge risk if you don't know you can land him, but it sounds like that was a matter of being able to hit the right number.

On 11/21/2017 at 8:49 PM, Kernel Red said:

 

Still on track for a Dec. 3 announcement if UCF plays in CCG?

Yes unless something changes on when Frosts wants it announced prior to that. 

On 11/21/2017 at 8:50 PM, bisonwiches said:

Money

Correct. They are willing to counter if any of these new openings try to make a play. Both Scott and his agent know this 

On 11/21/2017 at 8:57 PM, Hedley Lamarr said:

And we still don't care lol Moos has been told whatever it takes. 

On 11/21/2017 at 8:58 PM, Hedley Lamarr said:

He's coming. He asked for more money already and we said not a problem 

On 11/21/2017 at 8:40 PM, Hedley Lamarr said:

Just wanted to let everyone know I was 100% sure Frost is coming to NU....well my percentage has changed......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am now 200% confident Frost is coming to NU after my most recent conversation. 

Noted this post showing that info was not 100% accurate.

Riley will be relieved of his duties on black friday. Not the day after etc. That is currently Bills plan. 

On 11/21/2017 at 8:43 PM, Hedley Lamarr said:

Just know it is going to he Friday per what I was just told 

On 11/21/2017 at 3:39 PM, Chalk1988 said:

 

This was posted on another message board:

 

Per Matt Reynoldson of Husker Online:

Here's what I know:

Senior football players (the only sample size, may have been more) received a notification on their phones to attend a meeting. It's not confirmed that it was a team meeting.

This happened around 1:30 p.m., two hours before the "scheduled" start of Tuesday practice (for those of you that played high school/college sports, you know that if you're not a half hour early, you're late).

There is no confirmation that it was an "emergency" meeting either, so it very well could have been a direction to just show up early to the facility for a pre-practice meeting.

Since the players who received the notification were seniors, keep in mind that Friday is their last game. From how I've understood it in the past - could be wrong - they plan out the Senior Day festivities early in the week and typically don't take time out of the day-before-game walkthrough.

Students reporting that players were asked to leave class early for an emergency team meeting.  MORE RUMORS, MORE COMMENTS, MORE VIEWS, LET'S RIDE THIS HYPE TRAIN STRAIGHT TO ORLANDO.

I go to the church that the frosts go to. They literally say that they don't know whether or not he would come back.

On 11/21/2017 at 10:05 AM, Husker56 said:

Adam Carriker predicted SF as next Husker HC! Nothing ground breaking in what he said, but it's nice to hear a more national guy predict it at least.

4.5-5 million per year for Frost to stay at UCF according to this guy.

On 11/21/2017 at 9:06 AM, AndyH said:

The 7 years and 35 million is a accurate. The contract has been agreed to. Florida wanted him to sign for 5 years and less money. He wanted a longer contract and we had to counter with more money. We will not be outbid. 

 

Mike Riley knows he is not coming back. He was told three weeks ago. 

 

GBR!

via Knapp on 11/21

Brandon Vogel at Hail Varsity has some updated speculation on the UCLA/Florida/Nebraska situation as it pertains to Scott Frost.

Quote

 

Adam Rittenberg of ESPN reached out to some current college coaches and asked them to handicap the UCLA and Florida jobs. Both have great recruiting bases. Florida has a slightly better track record as a consistent national power and plays in the SEC, but with that comes the fishbowl. On the other side, Kelly knows the Pac-12 and could be a little more anonymous in Los Angeles than he would in Gainesville, something that is thought to appeal to Kelly.

But beyond those differences most of the coaches who spoke to Rittenberg were offering some variation of this answer:

 

"Florida obviously is the better job, but does it fit him?" a Pac-12 coordinator said. "He should take the job that fits him, regardless of perception. Without knowing him ... UCLA probably would be a better fit."

 

If the west coast sources are right on this and Kelly ends up at UCLA, where does Florida turn? I would guess back to Scott Frost, if the Gators ever really turned away, that is. I also would guess that Oregon head coach Willie Taggart can’t be that far down the Gators’ list either, which would have other ramifications.

that Sharp quote is also being misrepresented on here. He was asked the question "other than the Golden Child, who would you like to see as the head coach of Nebraska?" and he answered "Kevin Sumlin"

On 11/20/2017 at 1:43 PM, STL Husker said:

From everything I hear, Frost wasn't happy that he didn't get the job when Riley was hired.  If he thought he had enough experience then, why would he not think it now.  There appears to be many schools who do believe he has enough experience though.  Time will tell, but there have been many successful coaches with less experience. 

On 11/20/2017 at 0:14 PM, C N Red said:

Gary Sharpe said on his radio show this morning if it's not Frost he thinks it might be Kevin Sumlin.

On 11/19/2017 at 10:58 PM, Husker56 said:

I have seen a few people on Twitter and other boards say that Frost only wants to leave if he can bring his entire staff with him. Also, there were articles today that Florida was concerned that Frost wouldn't bring a staff that could recruit SEC players and that's part of the reason they soured on him. I think it's all bull as I imagine Scott would do great at recruiting where ever he went. Also, have seen that Nebraska would let him bring whoever he likes, so maybe that is helping us a lot. Who knows if it is true or not, but that'd be great if it helps N land him! 

On 11/20/2017 at 7:52 AM, jessica0 said:

As the article said, and Hedley has said, we will not be outbid for Scott Frost. The article doesn't use Scott Frost but that is what they are hinting at.
