MileHighHusker Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 As much as I'd like to see frost as our coach, I don't see it happening. It's just bad timing. One of the main reasons he took the UCF job is because recruiting is so easy there to implement his offense. Despite his and his staffs Nebraska ties, I think hes more likely to turn down a Nebraska offer and hold out a year or two more until he gets an offer from a big school with great local recruiting.

It's possible but I don't think he would struggle that much to land players that he is already landing at UCF for his offense and better. Do you really think UCF out recruits Nebraska? 1 Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I understand the "easy" part about not having to travel much to recruit, but National recruiting is a part of every major job. You just hire guys that are go getters and the traveling you do is at CLOSING time. which is why you keep guys like the Williamses on staff.

ScottyIce Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Man. Envisioning Frost locking down some STAR dual-threat QB's and RB's is fun to imagine. Link to comment

Do you really think UCF out recruits Nebraska? They ranked 55 for the 2017 class. One four star kid out of Memphis. The rest were 2-3* guys. IIRC, there were 21 kids in the class with 11 being from Florida. Local kids with higher rankings are going elsewhere. UF, FSU, Miami or other P5 programs. What people are seeing at UCF is a coach with "less" who is actually doing "more". He has a competent staff with a shared vision and a definitive scheme to recruit and implement. no square peg round hole stuff going on... Short answer, they don't out recruit NU. They simply out scheme and out coach... 2 Link to comment

But recruits from Florida are less likely to come to Nebraska when their family and friends may not be able to watch all their games (as others have noted). Another aspect that some of you (happy) current Nebraska residents might not understand is that the quality of life is so much higher outside of the plains and Midwest. I'm a Nebraska alumni, and despite loving NU athletics, I could never move back. This obviously may not be a factor for football coaches (especially when you make > $1m), who probably don't have much of a life outside of coaching. Link to comment

Definition of GO GETTERS I'll throw in that Frost is from NE, he played at NU....He definitely knows the issues in recruiting. The reality is win and they will come.... He had the rep as a solid recruiter at Oregon....Unsure where the "doesn't like to recruit" comes in. I know he said he likes recruiting in Florida and that it's "easier", but don't see where he's said he dint want to.... Link to comment

Bolded is incorrect according to almost every study on QOL based in the States. Midwest contains the highest QOL. You can be talking from personal experience, which is fine but to say Midwest has lower QOL overall is false. 4 Link to comment

ladyhawke Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) As I read and listen to all things SF I wonder this: Scott is about to become a Dad for the first time in his life. Nebraska is one of the best places in the country to raise a family. I think he might be thinking this is a great time to go back home and get his new little family established. I could be totally wrong but unless his wife is from Florida (anyone know?) This could be a strong deciding factor. He can his whole staff, of whom many have Nebraska ties, and they can start rebuilding Big Red Football! Edited October 21, 2017 by ladyhawke Link to comment
