You can also hire a lot of good assistant coaches who go do the recruiting for you and you basically go out to close recruiting commitments before NSD. You can spend your time recruiting to the players when they take their official visits to Nebraska, pick a few of the big time recruits you want and go visit them near NSD and let the assistants do the rest. I'll add, the best recruiting tool is winning. If you start to win a lot of games you are recruiting a lot of players at the same time. Edited November 7, 2017 by BoneyardHusker 2 Link to comment

People keep saying this but so many people do not realize head coaches do not spend much time recruiting on the road. The assistants do. The most recruiting travel that a head coach does are home visits. Link to comment

I think the poster was attempting the opposite, portraying a toxic situation at Florida that Scott Frost would never, ever, ever want to be a part of. Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Florida wants to pass? Maybe we trade them, their offer to Frost for Riley and Langsdorff. Link to comment

I'd use the other 5.9 million to hire Les Miles as my DC and Joe Moorhead as the OC and HC in waiting. Highest paid coordinators in the land and they'd call me a self sacrificing genius for taking such a low salary. Hiring Les Miles as your DC is one of the many reasons they won't hire you - even at bargain of 100k Link to comment

I'm pretty sure SE closed his eyes, took a pin and stuck it in a map then said "Corvallis Oregon, whoever is coaching there is who we hire! Damn I'm good at my job" Link to comment

Are you confusing "everyone" with "nobody" since no one even knew Riley was under consideration. 1 Link to comment

Red, I have seen maybe 4 of your posts today and all of them are pretty cynical, negative and taking this wayyyy to serious..... but allow me to clarify... Everyone as in his wife, friends, people on his coaching staff, etc. So allow me to correct myself, "everyone close to Riley told him..." better? Link to comment

At least be funny if that's what you're going to do. 2 Link to comment
