I AM FOOT FOOT Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Just now, Mavric said: I get the part where he kicked the snot out of us on more than one occasion. Pretty bad reason to not want him here but I can see that part of it. The second part is what I don't follow. Lots of references to his personality but I'm not sure where that is coming from. Me either but I haven't heard Alot of interviews with him.maybe it's his wife?The guy ran a system in Wisconsin than Nebraskans love. Quote Link to comment

Not that he's at the top of my list but I guess I'm not completely anti-him like a lot of people seem to be. What am I missing/forgetting? I swear I've asked this question a half-dozen times over the years and never gotten any semblance of an answer. Every coach has succeeded at Wisconsin under Alvarez. In 5 years at Arkansas he's 29-32 and there's a strong chance he'll be fired. Why fire one .500 coach just to hire another? 2 Quote Link to comment

Though I don't think it's quite as simple as you make it out to be. But the near-hatred toward him around here goes back even to our last coaching search so a lot of it isn't his record at Arky. Many people seem to be against something in his personality but I don't know where that's coming from. Quote Link to comment
DrunkOffPunch Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I think having an Iowa hawkeye tattoo is enough to disqualify someone from the Nebraska job. 3 Quote Link to comment

What if we just look at his OC who was there for the year he beat the snot out of us in the B1G Championship. Quote Link to comment
HuskerDan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Brought tough attitude to Razorbacks first couple years, record doesn’t reflect the fact they were in every game to the end. Then something happened and started being a FOOL. Had issue with ex Arkansas running back coach that tweeted a player after he had gotten hurt” for a speedy recovery”Bielema had an issue with him contacting the player. Acted as if an Alabama player shoved him during a game to draw a personal foul penalty, that’s not coaching big time college football. Threw his assistant coaches under the bus for loosing.Bottom line it’s his fault for not hiring the right coaches or reqruiting the right players. Check Arkansas web site to see more on a coach who has lost his grip on reality! 1 Quote Link to comment

Don’t have a problem with him beating us when at Wisconsin, just he’s LOST HIS MARBLES the last few years! He would make Diaco sound and look sane! Quote Link to comment

The Iowa tattoo is a deal breaker. Quote Link to comment
ScawFraw Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I am so enamored with Frost that I'm having trouble even thinking of someone realistic that I would like. But I wouldn't mind seeing Moorhead or even Gus Mahlzon (I think that's how you spell it) Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 In honesty, I think Coach Frost would be good for Nebraska, but still feel there are others that have experience at the Nebraska level. Going from UCF to Nebraska is a big change in many many ways. Not a big fan of Chip Kelly, but he has ran a program that is comparative. I am really concerned who we get if Coach Frost says no. And how the fan base will react. A huge kick in the balls, plus the next coach will know they were not even considered to be worthy. Not a good way to start. There have been some very good recommendations, and I fall in line with those. Matt Campbell seems to have put quite a team together. I don't know that I really want Coach Frost, but I know he is really all the fan base is going to welcome. Quote Link to comment
moveitforward Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Simply wishful thinking to believe that Matt Campbell would leave ISU to pick up the pieces of our program. That is not going to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment

If he's your teams coach and he's losing or an opponent, it's an easy target. I think it's pretty poor form but I guess I wouldn't take one instance of one thing happening and form an entire opinion of how good of a coach someone is based on those two seconds.

I can respect that opinion. It is very hard to judge a person off of a single incident like that. For me personally I just think it crosses a huge line for a coach to interact with the other teams players especially in such a childish manner. He is a grown man trying to get in a confrontation with some kid and then on top of it he flops and then dances after. Quote Link to comment
