Which at this point is everyone? Including the fans, boosters, former players, maybe even a stray dog. 1 Link to comment

They made it seem like he was only coming back to make everyone but himself happy. I can't see Scott doing that. If he only did what made people happy, and not what he thought was best, he'd have signed with Nebraska fresh out of HS. Appeasing others is far from what Scott's personality seems to be. I agree with everything you said and so does Mike, but his partner on the show, not so much. I know Scott will make the best choice for him and his family over everything else. It just made me wonder about the conversation. Link to comment

If a team thinks that after hiring a few questionable coaches in a row, having some terrible years, and then hiring a former QB that played there is the answer then they're nuts! Wait....

TheMeWho Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hello Huskerboard, yet another new member posting for the first time here. This Scott Frost Megathread has been a great recruiting tool for you guys, hasn't it? I remember 3 years ago when Pelini was axed, and how anxious I was during the coaching search. I had hoped we would have tried to go after Frost then, but instead, when I woke up the Thursday after the firing, my reaction was this... I'm grateful to this thread for somewhat quelling my anxiousness a bit these past few weeks. I'm much more confident that our new administrators will get it right this time and bring Scott Frost home, so that my reaction, come Sunday or Monday, will be this instead... GO BIG RED!!! 3 Link to comment

There is a chance (25%) that he stays in Lincoln and helps in some way. If by not harming NE`s image, you mean he has dragged it completely thru the mud such that the national perception of us is one including a great deal of laughter and loss of TV revenue, not to mention having attained formerly unthinkable statistical lows, then yeah, he "helped". NO, for the love of gawd NO, we dont need any more "help" from MR!!! The only help re MR is helping him get the F outta Dodge, pronto! 2 Link to comment

Again, I'm not saying he should be the coach here. I was ready to throw in the towel too, but I can admit that it takes more than three seasons to install a new system and make up for the situation that he inherited. Same should be said for Scott. We are not a top 25 program, and will be installing a new system. That normally takes 5 or 6 seasons to do. Even for above average coaches, and even at places like FSU and Clemson. Riley has a lot of skills, most of them aren't on the sideline, but to say he is a complete failure is way off base. 2 Link to comment

I understand Riley is a nice guy, but he doesn't deserve any spot within the NU athletic department. Have people just forgotten how much of a failure his tenure at NU was? If Riley is kept around in any capacity, it opens up the door for his former players to be loyal to him, rather than the new coach. I appreciate Riley and his assistants being gracious in this transition period, but the new coach would be saying "Why is Riley still here? Wasn't he fired?". Let him go back to Corvallis to help out the new Oregon State coach. Fair enough and good points. Link to comment
