[chappy713]

Have it on good record that @schriznoeder asked Barry Switzer who the new coach would be last weekend :).

I did receive a text from a guy in Oregon that hasn't been wrong in quite some time about coaching hires. At least the ones we talk about. 

 

He said that from his source in Oregon that Scott Frost has already agreed to be the coach at NU.

5 years 24 million

"Appears that Frost has accepted this offer. Expect a smooth transition after this season as Riley steps down and Frost takes over"

FWIW

 

This would put us at #11 in the country for coaches salary at 4.8 mil. Much better than #41. Shows that its time to open the checkbook to get a winning coach in place.

It’s known Scott wants his people taken care of, that’ll be where the checkbook is opened.

Think about what happened in 2013.  There has been a plan in place since WAY before Pelini was fired.

Is that the year the Pelini rant was released?  Maybe the year SE was hired?  I don't know if the plan was to fire Pelini to hire Riley but I guess it was because that's what happened.

How often is Vegas wrong when they give these kind of odds?

How confident are you in this source? What avenue is he claiming to get his info from? PowerT doesn’t seem like the type to spread just any rumor

[Hilltop]

If Florida takes Frost, I would like to see Justin Fuente.

I wouldn't mind him in the Billy Devaney role...

Why?

Most of these rumors posts of people claiming they know someone who knows someone I just roll my eyes and take it with zero substance. However, you are a credible poster and I certainly don't think you'd post this if you didn't believe in your "source" fully. But, my only question is how does some guy in Oregon have this information, where an entire state where Frost is from, and where UNL is this has not been heard or leaked.

They can't be wrong, they aren't picking anything. All this means is that bettors think it is Frost. Coaching prop bets are notoriously one sided like this.

Good questions. My buddy originally grew up in Oregon and moved to Nebraska for a few years while I was in college. Got to know him pretty well. Text every now and then about various college football stuff. He a media guy with a lot of connections. Not saying they are all credible but he doesn't ever present me any info that doesn't have smoke. 

 

I trust him, so I have bought into it. I know that it's hard to come on to huskerboard and believe what people are saying from a rumor stand point....so if I were to put a percentage on it. I'd say 90% +

 

It wasn't any old text from a friend that was speculation. I felt this was worth telling all of you. Hell, I suppose he could be wrong but I just don't think he'd spew that stuff willy nilly.

^ Whether he's right or wrong, I think we all appreciate the information.

Why would he leave VaTech? I just don't see him as a realistic possibility as that's a pretty decent job over there. 

 

Appreciate the info Coach Power'T let's hope he's right!

Well, the website that the article writer uses as a source has Jon Gruden as the next Tennessee head coach (+200) with Chip Kelly (+400) next in line.  So.......  

 

Chip Kelly maybe but Gruden?

Yup, thanks Power'T. 

 

These are the rumor/source posts that I respect, whether they end up right or wrong.
