All-Conference
I'm sure TO probably prepared him for everything.... and I'm sure if Scott does get hired that TO will probably be among the first people to reach out.
Don't get me wrong.... I think he's the guy I'd like to see coaching here, but he has a very difficult task ahead of him and if it doesn't work out, it could be ugly. Of course, I could also see people resenting him if he didn't take the job, kinda like the Stanford thing. It seems like everything is a bit more delicate with Frost.
I know I'm getting ahead of myself IF (and that's a big 'ol hypothetical if) Frost comes to Nebraska and it doesn't work out while there will be some raw emotion at first but my guess is it will all be ok in the end. The situation that's been floated happened in Green Bay when Bart Starr was the head coach for the Packers. I think we would all agree that Green Bay is pretty similar to Lincoln in a lot of aspects and the Packers have an incredibly loyal fan base similar to what Nebraska enjoys. Starr was the QB when GB won the first 2 Super Bowls and after his career he moved into coaching and was the HC for the Packers. It didn't go well for him (below .500 over several years). Starr is still absolutely beloved in Green Bay and no one really brings up his coaching career. Now, obviously things are different nowadays as fans enjoy much, much greater access through social media and other channels. So I guess where I'm going is will Frost be under a lot of pressure if he takes the Nebraska job? Yes. Will he be run out of town like a carpetbagger if things don't go well? I don't think so.
