TGHusker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) We are all UCF Fans now. I hope Scott's team surprises Auburn wt a dazing show of offense & enough D to defeat the Tigers and point recruits towards Nebraska. I like Moos's comment below. It is all positive. (by the way should it be Moos's or Moos' - what the grammatically correct way??) https://nebraska.rivals.com/news/moos-sees-peach-bowl-as-a-marketing-commercial-for-nebraska When Moos looks at this situation, he fully supports Frost and his coaching staff going to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl. If anything, Moos sees it as an opportunity to promote Nebraska. “You can’t put a price tag on it,” Moos said. “It’s a three and a half hour marketing commercial for Nebraska football. Because that’s what those guys are going to be talking about, the announcers. They are going to be showing ‘Scott Frost in Nebraska’ and all of this. Then recruits are going to be watching that offense and go ‘boy, I could fit into that.’ I think for whatever small negatives there might be, there are tons more positives.” Edited December 4, 2017 by TGHusker 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 No. This is not Nebraska's bowl game. It can reflect well on us, but we are not going to a bowl game and we should not try to co-opt it from UCF. Let them enjoy their season. 4 Quote Link to comment

I have no problem with him coaching this game. Quote Link to comment

I will watch the game, and root for UCF, but agree 100%, it's not a Nebraska bowl game. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 It's sort of a strange situation for UCF that I'm not sure how it's working out. Frost has hired 8 guys off of that staff and they are out recruiting for Nebraska. So.....who is back in Orlando prepping the team for the bowl game? Who is going to be the coaches on the side lines? This staff almost has to go back and coach that game once the dead period starts otherwise UCF is screwed. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 IMO he already went out on top. Undefeated season with a great ending with his players as seen on TV. Accepted the Nebraska job and knocked the press conference out of the park. I don't think there is much to gain here, but I feel my take is the minority on this subject. Quote Link to comment

It's finals week at UCF this week, so there probably isn't a lot of practices going on. There can be GA's and staffers who put the team through workouts and light bowl prep, and then Frost and the rest of the UCF guys go back to Orlando for bowl prep after the Dec. signing date.

knapplc Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Frost can recruit like a madman at Nebraska, along with his staff, until 12/18/17 when the Dead Period starts. Then he can go back to UCF and work with the team for two weeks until the bowl game, and he'll have a week after that to do more film study and evaluation, then he can pick up recruiting again on 1/11/18 when the Dead Period ends. 3 Quote Link to comment
beorach Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I remember how excited people were about Bo coaching in the national title game with LSU the same way. It's something. They got a tough draw, though. Auburn has shown the ability to pound the rock in the SEC. Only Alabama and Georgia have done that better... Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Bo won the title with LSU that year, didn't he? That was pretty cool. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I can understand your point - I'll change the title. Quote Link to comment
Waterloohusker26 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Unsportsmanlike Conduct had Charles Davis on and he said if he could give Scott Frost any advice it would be to NOT coach in the bowl game. Already had that special moment with his players after winning the conference title and saying his goodbyes in the locker room. Quote Link to comment

This staff almost has to go back and coach that game once the dead period starts otherwise UCF is screwed. I believe the OC - Troy Walters is doing most of the prep work as the interim HC. I wonder if he will be announced as our OC/TE or WR coach after the bowl game? He of course has been suggested as the possible new UCF HC. I'd like to see him come here to continue the continuity of how he and Scott have worked together with the O.. With the higher salary package, my hope is that Scott is able to have long serving assistance like Tom did. That goes a long way in developing a successful program. Besides Walters, I'm not sure who might be considered HC material during the next 2 - 3 years. Quote Link to comment

I think this is all positive for NU. Moos's comment notes the exposure we will get but not only that - it really says something about the unselfish nature of the action of allowing Frost to coach his former team. I think that speaks loudly about our ethics and that too is a recruiting tool - aimed at parents. Quote Link to comment
