I just think this scenario is best for all involved. The program doesn’t take a hit for firing another coach, Riley goes out in a respectable manner and everyone moves on and I think Riley's tired. I'm not sure if he's ever lived under a microscope before. His D.O.D. was written on his tombstone when he brought his assistants with him and I don't really blame him..I think most coaches do it. He just really had no idea Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 You have the whole 97' NC team Skype him this morning begging him to come home. Have Mr. Rimington in the room as well with a check for $3.5M Link to comment

Dirk Chatelain had a good podcast with Scott's mom, Carol. The podcast was centered around Carol's own amazing athletic career, but they do talk about Scott and his experiences. Carol made a funny comment how she made Scott take speech class at Wood River, because they figured it would be a good way to learn how to handle speaking in front of people, and he would probably have to do that being a QB at a big college, etc. I just thought it was something interesting that she pointed during the interview.

Agreed - we've almost backed ourselves into a corner. The new ad will always be looked disfavorly on/questioned if Frost isn't the hire. Similarly, the new coach will always be compared to Frost - unless we get a homerun hire like Patterson which is slim to none. Link to comment

Have Mr. Rimington in the room as well with a check for $3.5M Going to take more than $3.5MM. I still think we land him, but the price is going to be quite high. I also think we need to offer him enough to where it'll pain him to say no. Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Why would Gary Patterson leave a university in a talent rich state in a power 5 conference? Which has high prestige and appeal right now. Link to comment

Just meaning we need to quit talking like money is an issue around here. Said in previous threads that it's laughable that our HC is paid less than over 40 head coaches! Link to comment

In hindsight we should've hired him instead of Riley. Edit- Doesn't sound like he's making crazy promises either....our coaches are doing a great job, want to win our conference. Link to comment

However, it wouldn't be all that bad if we hire him for next season and he was able to get 2 years of head coaching experience under his belt. So if Nebraska plays this right it all might work out for the better. Link to comment
