BIGREDIOWAN Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I don't believe for a second if Mike Riley goes 4-1 he's going to keep his job. The only way he keeps his job is if there isn't interest for the coaching job from candidates we're interested in. Why else would there be a new A.D. if a coaching change wasn't in our future?

We must now gather up our pitchforks and donkeys and form a HOARD of 1000s-a Peoples Army, as it were-march to UCF and demand Frosty as our new HC! The People have spoken.... That's the biggest load of Bolshevik I've heard since the wall fell. 1 Link to comment

If Mike Riley goes 4 - 1, it means the scheme and urgency finally clicked for this team on both sides of the ball. There would be reason for optimism going into 2018, and Riley would deserve another year to build on it. But Mike Riley isn't going 4 - 1. Everybody knows that. Last chance was about three games ago.

OK....I'm really confused. If Riley goes 4-1, I will guarantee you he is being kept for next year because that would mean he coached through the bowl game. No way in hell Moos is so novice at this that he waits till after the bowl game to decide to fire the HC. IF he does, Frost will be gone somewhere else. Moos will then be on a really really really hot seat. 1 Link to comment

I love the suggestion that Nebraska needs so badly to remove themselves from past success that they should avoid hiring the top available coaching prospect because he was part of that past success.... 7 Link to comment

The confusing part is if Riley goes 4 - 1 and we don't know if Frost will stay at UCF or take another job, and we are left with a suddenly less desirable pool of candidates and a current head coach who appears to have turned things around. The not confusing part is that Riley isn't going 4 - 1. Link to comment

Aside from the nonsensical last paragraph it was a good read with a lot of Frost facts I didn't know. The main purpose of the article seems to be lamenting that the SEC missed out on last year's "Up and Comers" Herman, Fleck, Brohm and Taggert and trying to sell the idea that some SEC team should go after Frost. They should just focus on shuffling the SEC coaching deck as usual. Link to comment

Did this writer know that Nebraska is Scott's 'dream job'? Scott wouldn't come back just because he once played for Nebraska or that his folks coached at Nebraska. Scott was born and raised in Nebraska. Anytime I read these SEC writers I want to send them that interview from 2012! But then again they might not want to include that information as they want their readers to believe Scott is going to take the Florida job. 3 Link to comment

Scott was what a newly minted OC? Now a hot coach with a lot of options. The Nebraska wheels hadn't fallen off in 2012 either. A lot has changed in 5 years so Frost may not feel the same. 3 years ago might have been the best chance for Frost to return. We'll find out soon but as others have said, patience is needed 2 Link to comment

We'll find out soon but as others have said, patience is needed Has he ever came out and said he's changed his mind about coming here? According to former players who have kept in touch with Scott over the years and still keep in contact with him now, they say that Scott is interested in the Nebraska job. Are they lying? I don't think so. It would at least behoove these writers to look at some Nebraska articles. Otherwise it makes them sound uninformed. Of the articles I've read from SEC writers, they mention he played for Nebraska or might say something about his folks and they are very quick to point out the 'love-hate' relationship Scott has with Nebraska when that issue had been dealt with years ago! They also fail to say anything about the fact that Scott was born and raised in Nebraska. Scott has a history with Nebraska. That counts for a lot in my book. I agree with you that we will all find out in the end but our patience is wearing thin. 2 Link to comment

Nowhere in the article did you read about Florida firing a coach after winning his division 2 of 3 years but I'm sure Nebraska beat writers have mentioned it without pointing out that McElwain failed miserably to improve the offense. Sorry if I'm spoiling an idealistic view view you may have held of the high integrity field of sports journalism. Link to comment

I wouldn't consider them as journalists. They're just trying to do their job where they are. That's why I said in my post: But then again they might not want to include that information as they want their readers to believe Scott is going to take the Florida job. Actually, I have read where an SEC writer reported that fact on McElwain. I just like articles to be more thorough but again, they know their audience and want to keep them so they say what they want to hear-just like our writers Link to comment
