Nobody Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 ahem.. yeah, turner gill really worked out well, didn't he? For all we know, Frost could be the exact same deal. Quote Link to comment
SandhillshuskerW Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 There is no way that this scenario will ever happen, but here's a nice suggestion. Hire Frost to be the OC and let him run the offense. Let Bo run the defense and have him actually spend his whole time with the defense. He can still be the head coach, but just give him the title of DC as well and let him do what he does. Therer is no way that it will work out that way, but I can dream. Quote Link to comment
AZRaiderH8r Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I agree that Scott doesn't have the experience yet, but I'm not sure that we could draw the high profile coach that we'd all love to see. If Scott is viewed as an "up and comer", I for one would love to see his climb take place here. The two points that I hear about him from people who follow Oregon are that he is extremely well liked by the players and he's a stud in recruiting. Those are two points that would sure be nice to have in place here. Just sayin... 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Even with more successful years at Oregon, Frost will not be a superstar OC. It's just unlikely, isn't it? A couple more years at Oregon as an OC when the real OC is the HC, running a system handed down from the previous HC/OC. Take Carl - he definitely has a good resume from his years here as a DC under Bo, but that doesn't make him one of college football's top defensive minds and a superstar DC in his own right.

That was basically Bo's first year, changing Watson for Frost. After the offense went downhill, everyone complained how Bo was only doing DC work and needed to be a "real head coach". Now I've seen several suggestion to go back to it. Funny how things go in cycles. Quote Link to comment

I understand it was just a hypothetical, but that would be a latteral move or a downgrade for Frost. He can stay as the OC of Oregon for a few years, and if they contiue their success (no reason to believe they won't), he could be one of the top candidates for a HC gig. I have also read on this board that Pelini and Frost may not be on the best terms. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Also substantially more likely for Frost to continue to be OC at a school that fields an elite offense at Oregon, than at Nebraska. So I think it's best for him if he stays. He's looking for an HC job at this point. Quote Link to comment
dvdcrr Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 To the OP. You can think that we should hire SF and you may be right. But your gonna need LOTS of dough to get him here and its been shown that NU doesnt do business that way. Im talking Saban dough. Bo is what this university needed minus a little bit of the public tirades. That is he is a dogmatic man willing and able to do more with less. The REAL problem here is that Bo doesnt really care anymore. Not like he did in 2003. Quote Link to comment

Money is the only real reason to come here for him even as HC. Frankly I would consider coming to NU as a bad career move for him. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The reason you're seeing those reactions is because you suggested a guy that has two games under his belt as just an offensive coordinator is going to command the highest salary in college football to hire as head coach.

Everything looks good in a perfect world though. Quote Link to comment

I have also read on this board that Pelini and Frost may not be on the best terms. It is true that it would basically be a lateral move, but I have no idea if Frost has any desire to be back in Nebraska or not. If he would like to live closer to family, it would be the perfect move for him. If he doesn't get along with Pelini, that might not be a bad thing. I think Pelini has too many friends around him and he sometimes can't make a logical decision about things because friendships get in the way. I'm just speculating though, I'm not claiming that I have the actual answers. Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Ive met Scott Frost, he didnt owe me a thing. We spent some time together, couldnt have been a nicer guy. He had nothing to gain by our converstations He isnt arrogant at all, in fact, quite the opposite He is from a coaching family, both mom and dad are accomplished coaches He was a QB win incredible stats in HS- everyone wanted him Playing for Bill Walsh in an NFL offense as a passing QB at STANFORD- I 100% get why he made the choice He also humbled himself to come back and played his ass off when he got to start here Quality guy all the way That was my experience with him too. I just wanted to say 'hi'. He wanted to talk about my shirt (Oregon State), my time there and football. We spoke, in a parking lot at a golf store, for about 15 minutes. He could have stopped at 'hi' and walked away. I was impressed with his demeanor and size. He's WAY bigger than I thought he'd be Quote Link to comment
