That's what I gathered as well. When he said I'm glad they didn't call or something along those lines I was like, "Yep, he probably would've said no due to the leadership at the time." The stars aligned to make this possible or god knows who would be here or if Riley would've been fired. Link to comment

That's what I had read! Scroll down to the bottom of this article and it has Scott listed as the 33rd coach. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nebraska_Cornhuskers_head_football_coaches Edited December 4, 2017 by ladyhawke Link to comment
614Husker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I get that Scott was ticked about Eichorst never calling him, but I really think he needs to put some context behind that. Eichorst was so distant and the exact opposite of what the program needed. I'm not sure he should even bother with having anger towards Eichorst. Eichorst isn't worth any more wasted emotion. That period is over. Link to comment

I'm glad that Scott had some time to grow, to have some experience as a head coach. Link to comment

That period is over. I don't think was "anger", it was honest. And to you pretty much agree according to this post. Eichorst screwed the pooch from the get go. Link to comment
ScawFraw Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't know much about his time in Stanford. How did he do when he played there? Link to comment
mnhusker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 It's great to get Scott Here and also seems that the myth of top coaches not wanting to come to Nebraska cause it's just too hard is put to bed. Link to comment

Just off my memory, Frost was good enough to play Safety as a true freshman and also played some QB during his 2 years there. Word is that Walsh tried to alter Frost’s throwing motion, and it really hampered his accuracy at QB. At NU, Frost always kinda throw like a shot putter, but was a good enough dual threat guy to be effective. 2 Link to comment
Landlord Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 6 hours ago, olddominionhusker said: Wisconsin Had no margin for error with their schedule. Bama didn’t take down any world beaters either but still had a few top 20 wins and I think that probably swayed it. They have wins over #25 Fresno State, #24 Mississippi State and #16 LSU, and lost to a non-playoff team by 12. There's a good argument that two of those three should not be ranked, and are only ranked to prop up Alabama's SoS, imo. What the committee is doing is de-incentivizing teams to schedule legitimate OOC opponents. If Ohio State would have lost to Iowa but never played Oklahoma, they'd be in the playoff. They have wins over #6 Michigan, #9 Penn State, and #19 Michigan State, and lost to a playoff team by 15. Worse loss, way better wins, including a championship. idk, i get the different arguments, but the argument should be the most deserving more than an ambiguous 'the best team (we think)'. 4 Link to comment
Moiraine Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 It would make the decision easier if they considered conference play as a qualifier. If you don't win your conference you're disqualified from the playoffs. Period. 2 Link to comment
