Cdog923 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Grab your Delorean; we're going back to 2018! Knowing what you know now at this very moment, if you could have a redo to hire a new coach, would you take it? EDIT: I apologize to whomever may have voted; I forgot to add Dan Mullen as an option. 2 Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 10000% NO ! Scott is more invested in this program that anyone since Solich and any possible coach out there. 1. He will not run during the adversity and the crap he catches from fans. 2. Nebraska will give him a longer leash and not make a knee jerk change, which is why we are in this mess to begin with 3. Once he brings this program back to prominence (even top 10), he will not bolt for greener pastures 4. He has already recruited his tail off and understands the climate and culture * Campbell is awesome !!! I really respect him. He has rebuilt in the Big 12, which almost all of us agree would be an easier job than the Big 10. He says he won't leave, but wait until ISU wins the Big 12, and then he will move on !! * I like Mullen too. My son is a Florida fan so have followed them for years. Mullen would be good, but has been known to bolt and move to greener pastures. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 You should have made a bigger play for Matt. He brought a staff that develops players. Frost and his staff doesn't seem to have the ability or interest in evaluating and developing recruits. Before you all go off the rails on me, hear me out. I hear a lot of bragging about all the talent Nebraska has and how highly ranked the recruiting classes are but that's not translating into success on the field. Matt Campbell and his staff takes their 3 star recruits and turns them into exceptional football players. Breece Hall...3* Charlie Kolar...3* Brock Purdy...3* Mike Rose...3* David Montgomery...no stars. Here's goes after hard playing, fundamentally sound players and develops them into legitimate All Americans. And he does it at Iowa State. 4 Quote Link to comment

With amazing coaching skills like that you'd think they'd be able to just kill Sun Belt teams. 5 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I'd still go with frost. Former player returns to save his alma mater is to good to pass up. IF frost would have gone to Florida or Tennessee then it would have been interesting. Mullen would never leave the south. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

One of those guys is an All American, let's calm it down here. Campbell also hasn't beaten Iowa either. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hilltop Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The reality is Frost is doing this right... It is year 3 but in reality it's year 1 after the burn down. He knew he would have a long enough leash to clean house and rebuild this the right way. It's stinks from a fan standpoint but I believe he is on the right path to compete for titles in the next 3 years. I do believe the results there last 2 years would have been better if he didn't have some bad luck. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
huskerfan702 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I don’t think we would’ve gotten Mullen or been able to keep him if he was successful. Matt Campbell is solid but would he recruit as well as Frost. The facts are Frost was our dream hire if he’s successful we know we get him for as long as he wants to coach and he understands what it takes to be great here. 2 Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I wouldn’t want anybody else but Frost, however I would change a few things. For his own sake I’m happy it didn’t happen, but recruit Burrow and have a legit competition at QB. Work with his dad to get JD gone. Upgrade staff prior to year 3. Not happy with where we are but to not go mad, I’ve conditioned myself to think years 5-7 are going to be exciting now that he’s burned the roster to rebuild. There are good leaders in the 2019 class and I think when they cycle through those kids will pass have established the culture Frost is taking the right time implementing. 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker03 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Scott was the hire then and is the hire now. He couldn't recruit the 4 and 5 stars out of the gate, so he opted to swing for the fences on some development prospects. They are developing, but by very nature takes a bit of time. I'd say things are pretty right on track in that regard. He has a glaring QB problem, but again, his depth in that room are young development projects. We will be ok. 2 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Knowing what I know now the only other option would’ve been Orgeron... but we all know that would’ve been impossible to hire a tough guy like him with all the hatred for tough coaches .....and Scott is still our guy. If Frost can’t turn it around, it might be a long time if ever....I probably won’t live to see it. Quote Link to comment
