Sean Callahan and a couple of other people have stated in the last two weeks that Coach Frost has told people that he is open to returning. Coach Frost will only talking about building UCF in public. Rumors should start to heat up in about 3 weeks.

Here is a good article about Frost and the general coaching carousel for 2018.
https://sports.yahoo.com/college-footballs-coaching-carousel-will-scott-frost-2018-191153413.html
One thing we should all consider with Frost's short tenure as a HC is that others in his boat are not necessarily lighting it up this year after making a move to a P5 team. First, PJ Fleck has Minnesota playing about the same and potentially a bit worse than the last couple years of that program. Also, Tom Herman has taken over a Texas team with better than average talent and has them 3-4 currently. Both of these guys took over programs that had been in the middle of the pack (similar to Nebraska) but are not having an immediate impact on the team. This is different than what we saw from Urban Meyer took over at Florida and, while the record in the first season was the same, Florida was playing much better ball than when Zook was there, and in Meyer's 2nd year they won the National Championship. Harbaugh also had an immediate impact at Michigan in just his first year there, and continues to have them performing well, but Harbaugh was also a much more seasoned coach.
My top choices would still be luring Petersen away from Washington or Whittingham from Utah, but I understand they are locked in lengthy contracts and would be a stretch. Fuente also has a recent contract extension at Va Tech. I am seeing Greg Schiano's name come up a lot too and he did improve the Rutgers program when he took over and is doing a nice job as OSU DC.

It appears UCF likes this Frost guy too. He might get some serious offers from around the country at seasons end. Including from his own team.

Poor @Huskerzoo is copying all news posts to the sticky, that's incredible. Nobody generate any content until finished. Should only take a week.
btw, thanks zoo!
This is what happens when your day job is being a researcher. Luckily by only focusing on actual stuff about frost, I'm already about 15% through the content. You're welcome. Thanks for the recognition.

For anyone questioning his loyalty or how much he loves Nebraska football. If I was a betting man, I would go all in that he will be the next head coach at Nebraska. I don't think there is another coach in CFB that understands the culture here, and what it takes to understand the winning tradition of our football team.

The more you step back and look at this the more it looks like it’s Scott’s job if he wants it.
1.) Firing Eichorst gets any hurdles to firing Riley out of the way. If this year goes as bad as it appears Bounds and Green will be justified with their decision and it’s on its way. This decision was made because of Riley and Riley alone.
2.) Bounds and Green are being influenced by the money behind the program, and that money has a high level of support to get Scott to Lincoln.
3.) Frost started the season on many up and coming coaching lists, Bounds and Green see that if they don’t act this year Nebraska may be too late to the party. His stock will only grow as they win more games, possibly end the year in a New Years 6 as the Group of 5 rep. Hence the, “We want to get started” quote in the presser.
4.) Not by mistake that they mentioned the mid 90’s in the presser.
5.) The word compete keeps coming up. You see Scott on the sideline, that dude competes. His team follows suit.
The writing is on the wall, the only thing that is left is for the season to play out like most think it will.
Money would think this means that the AD is Trev. I must say I am not crazy about that hire, but it seems the only plausible way we get someone who agrees to hire Frost. Unless someone like Joe Parker tells us in the search that Frost would be on the top of his list, then you hire that guy that will also hire the football coach the administration wants.
Hiring Frost is a safe way to go with big upside. If he fails, not too many fans will be upset because he is a Husker legend and that route is worth the try to many. I believe that not only Scott gets Nebraska, understands the type of players it takes to win here, and the type of program it takes to win, but he is a good football coach that would be on the radar of major Power 5 jobs in the near future.

Frost's resume is quite impressive regardless of Nebraska ties
- Played under Bill Walsh, Tom Osborne, Bill Parcells, Bill Bellicheck and Jon Gruden.
- Played quarterback in college // played safety in the NFL, was successful at both.
- Linebackers coach and defensive coordinator at UNI (defense was ranked 13th in the country when he was DC)
- Wide receivers coach and offensive coordinator at Oregon, where his teams played for MNC's and his quarterback won the Heisman
- Huge turnaround in year one as a head coach, with a big time P5 win in year 2 (last year his defense improved roughly 70 spots in total defense nationally, 98 spot improvement in turnovers)
- Won a national championship as a player, and a coach, and has coached in plenty of big time environments
9/24
Frost has been a successful coach every year as OC, DC, and HC:
1st year as HC took a 0-12 team to 6-7, the biggest win turnaround in the country (+6). Riley was -3.
2-0 so far this year.
OC at Oregon (year, total Offense, scoring O, rush O, pass O)
2015 5, 5, 5, 36
2014 3, 4, 20, 10
2013 2, 4, 9, 21
One year as DC at Northern Iowa (2008) - total D 23rd, scoring D 9th.
With his obvious ties/history at Nebraska, he knows the culture, history and attitude of Nebraska, and would likely stay for a long time.
I would love to see him go with the Nebraska physical, tough, smashmouth attitude vs the Oregon fast attack. I think that approach also helps defenses.
Today in UCF win over Maryland, Rushing 39-250 yds, Passing 30-178yds.

I think he would, NU fans are not the only people high on Frost. Doesn't necessarily mean we should hire him either, but there's a lot to like imo.
6. Scott Frost, UCF: A Chip Kelly disciple with NFL ties, Frost has gotten folks excited around Orlando after taking a team that went winless the year before he arrived to a bowl game in his first season. I’ll be surprised if Frost doesn’t get the Knights to double-digit wins before too long. He’s very marketable, but he also has arguably the top non–Power 5 head coaching job in the country right now, and he will be choosy.

https://ucf.rivals.com/news/scott-frost-press-conference-maryland-week
Watch this press conference prior to the Maryland game. Even at Oregon he spoke like this, not just like a coach, but like a head coach. Great demeanor, understands the media's role. Honest, humble, and forthright. These are things that are common to other press conferences he's had over the years, but this one is of course different because of Irma's tremendous impact on that program. Notice his priorities in life, even in the already stressful life of a college coach.
If you want a guy that represents Nebraska and all of those intangibles we like to say collegiate athletics are about...

I'm breaking my own rule because the SF megathread has gotten out of control. We had members ask us to not moderatebe heavily, so we didn't and now it's just a place for memes, arguing, and discussion of the 1982 Penn State Game.
This is a locked thread that I (and any other mods who want) can go through and update with posts that are actually relevant to the topic. The idea is that people can get most of the information re: rumors tweets and everything else without having to read 8 pages to find one new piece of information. I'm pinning it because I think it's a content area many people on the board are interested in. The megathread I'll leave to continue to evolve organically.
I know many people look at the SF conversation as a playground because nothing definitive will happen until after black Friday. I appreciate that viewpoint, but there are also people who might want to come to the board for genuine conversation and information consolidated into one place. This thread is for those people.
I can't promise to keep it updated but i'll try.
I'm going to apologize in advance because it seems I can't copy posts from the other thread, just move them. I'd prefer not to move the other posts as it would make things confusing. As such, I'm just copy and pasting. I'm also including posts that I think add something to painting a picture about what's going on. This is by its nature arbitrary. I apologize if I missed something you feel like is important.

Think realistically about this.
Who's involved in decision to fire Mike Riley, and if he's fired, to replace him?
How big is that room?
And what kind of dollar figures are we talking about in that process - how many millions?
Then ask yourself - what kind of person is admitted into that room, where millions of dollars are at stake? People who keep their mouth shut or people who talk a lot?
When you arrive at the latter choice, ask yourself how Adam Rittenberg, who hasn't set foot in Lincoln in weeks and who does not have the confidence of anyone in that room, get information on what decisions are being made in that room?
And when you realize he doesn't have that confidence and they won't tell him anything, and nor will any agent/agent's staff, or any coach, or their families, or anyone involved, ask yourself where Rittenberg is getting that information? Or random posters on an RSS?
tl;dr - nobody knows what's going on - not RSS posters, not local or national media types, nobody. Anyone who does isn't talking, because talking means termination.
To build on this, these are people who probably would not be happy if the information is leaked. Lets say you had your opportunity at a dream hire/dream coach, but the barrier to get it done was that you had to not talk about it for a month. Would you be able to do it?
I imagine when there is legacy and millions of dollars on the line, folks are able to shut up about it. These aren't obsessed fanboys dropping memes in threads. They don't feel obligated to keep the fans informed. They are people who worked extremely hard to reach where they are in their careers and they're not going to jeopardize that because they're excited.
