MichiganDad3 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The link below is an interesting response Harbaugh had when Frost said his team out hit Michigan. 3 Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 What was interesting about it? Sounded like typical post game presser coach speak to me. 5 Quote Link to comment
Whistlepig Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 It was interesting if you watched the game, Scott was right, of course Harbaugh had to defend his players but UCF probably would have won that game 2 out of 3 times and if you're watching the game between Memphis and UCF, the same Memphis that beat UCLA, the announcers are basically a Scott Frost commercial for moving on to the next big time program- in December- and man is UCF well coached and they run an offense that is unlike our explosive based on RPO / RRO Dam I hope we get him and his staff 3 Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Me too Whistlepig. I thought Harbaugh's response was telling. He didn't want to come out and admit that Scott's team hit harder so he skirted the issue by complimenting them. 1 Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 "Impressed with their toughness, aggression and speed".........3 words you will not hear in describing NU...... Although Florida is a hot bed for recruiting, he is going head to head with Jimbo, Richt, McElwain, Strong and other schools in Florida for that same Florida speed..... If Riley's gone, make the call. 2 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think no matter what we have to find a way to get him. 2 Quote Link to comment

BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Here's the problem, we want to win games right? So what happens if Riley beats Wisconsin, keeps it close with Ohio State and wins the rest of the games minus say Penn State? Granted, I don't think that happens, but you can't fire a dude that takes us to Indy. Unless he decides to retire he'd get another year. His record would be 8-4 or maybe even 9-3. Makes it nearly impossible to fire him IMO. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 If Nebraska turns this around and goes to Indy this year, I can't think of a way in which that is a 'problem' 6 Quote Link to comment

I think Frost, assuming he keeps trending upward, will be eyeing some serious dough at a next job. There's a good chance several 'better' jobs will also be open by season's end (LSU, Tennessee). Assuming Frost does really well with UCF this year, his name will be thrown around for those jobs and he'd have to at least think about it. Plus, if I were in his shoes, I know I'd be thinking 'do I really want to go back to the place I played college football and a place I have a fairly positive legacy at? What if I fail?'

LSU and Tennessee seem to be the same situation as Nebraska- delusional fans who expect immediate results, yeah LSU is more relevant than Nebraska, probably Tennessee too and they might offer more $$ but, Nebraska is his home and as with all successful coaches, hes not thinking he'll fail no matter where he goes. BTW- there is no doubt in my mind that UCF is a top 25 team- and from watching UCF win big over Maryland and Memphis, and the fact that there are only about 3 teams left on the schedule that have a chance to beat them, he will have to make a decision about all this by the end of the season Quote Link to comment

If he doesn't stay at UCF, you hope he doesn't go to a blue blood program that keeps him forever. Quote Link to comment

They just need to quit hiring crappy coaches. Nebraska needs a great coach but also a good recruiter. 1 Quote Link to comment

Can we just reassign Riley to a "analyst" position and keep those California connections, though I'm sure Scott has plenty of his own. Obviously that would never happen, but hey that would be pretty awesome right? Quote Link to comment
