Scott Frost comes from a locker room that was running around the field after winning the AAC championship game almost in tears chasing down his players to give them hugs, while his players chased him down to give him hugs. Callahan came from a locker room that thought he sabotaged the super bowl. Also we are wiser as a fan base today in what we want, we are a more seasoned "less spoiled" fan base. We have experienced horrible failure for 16 years so we know what we want and need. We are not enamored by shiny objects we want substance. I think we are better for it and have the potential to learn from it and be even better fans- more appreciative of what's in front of us. Link to comment
Thurston from Pender Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Scott was beyond brilliant in the news conference today. He hit the right notes and tone. This year is also the 150th year of statehood. A great year indeed. Link to comment

Guy just seems like he’s having so much fun. And I still think he’s a heck of good coach Link to comment

Back then it was too close to the Osborne years - one of the most extraordinary coaching performances of our time - and the fan base thought it was a God given right to be in the hunt for a NC every year, so everyone was quick to believe that Callahan would deliver, because that's just how it was meant to be at Nebraska. Reality was a shock. But I wouldn't categorize Pelini's years as 'horrible failure'. Link to comment
Packerhuskerfan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This article makes it sound like Scott was having second thoughts Friday night: http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/barfknecht-credit-tom-osborne-with-the-save-in-bringing-scott/article_065ae3ca-d884-11e7-9362-1b64d9f41039.html Link to comment

That toxic mentality led to huge blowouts by giving up early in games. Link to comment

Remember that Callahan never won a game when trailing at the half. Bo had many big comebacks, including the biggest comeback in school history, which was against OSU. Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Bill Moos during the press conference today "There were several top notch coaches that were interested in Nebraska"...I really wonder who those coaches were. Link to comment
ScawFraw Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I think it's so fitting that UCF was on Nebraska's schedule in 97. Link to comment

BartonHusker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) A lot of chatter was that Fuente and Mullen were the next two on the list had Frost had said no. Edited December 4, 2017 by BartonHusker Link to comment
HuskerMan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Go going off today's presser I get the impression Scott would have turned down the job three years ago given the admin in place at the time. 1 Link to comment

Sorry, man, but you're going to have to recalibrate as he's the 33rd head coach. Link to comment
