He also said many on staff believe that Scott is headed to Lincoln. What staff believe frost is heading to lincoln. Frosts coaching staff think they are headed to lincoln. Or people that work with Rittenberg think he is heading to lincoln? Link to comment

StPaulHusker Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't care who is headed to Lincoln as long as Troy Walters is one of them 1 Link to comment

Maybe thats why they started following husker players on twitter. Did the disagreement ever get resolved if those follows were recent or not? Link to comment

Or people that work with Rittenberg think he is heading to lincoln? Rittenburg's exact quote in the interview is: "There is knowledge on the UCF staff that Nebraska is going to make a major offer for Scott Frost, which is not a huge shock. Nebraska is in a very compromised position. They have to get rid of a third year coach in Mike Riley, you have a new Athletic Director in Bill Moos, they've slipped out of national relevance as you know, so they don't have a lot of leverage here whereas Scott has all the leverage. I think this is going to be an offer that will be outside the market that you typically see for a second year head coach at the Group of 5 level. So its going to be a major major offer. I'm not saying he's definitely going to accept it, but there is a belief on that coaching staff that there is a very good chance that Scott is heading home to Nebraska. So we will see what happens, but again Nebraska is poised to make a very strong commitment. No formal contact with UCF, you can't do that when you still have a coach, but it is coming from Big Red." 1 Link to comment

brophog Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 I'm not shocked by a guy telling me I shouldn't be shocked. Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I don't really care what the pay is or what the years are. I don't even care who the coach is at this point. If they win and have us competing for championships, they are worth every penny 1 Link to comment

Huskers93-97 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think Moos is going to swing and make sure he lands his first punch. I think he knows nebraska will implode if he misses on frost. Link to comment

Saban makes 11. Harbaugh makes 8. Where do we want to be? 2.1 Billion sitting in the general fund for the University. 200 million plus a year in donations. Football program will bank 60 million over expenses this year. Give him the largest assistant and recruiting budget in the Country. Pay him whatever it takes. Make a statement. We will not go quietly into the night 8 Link to comment
