Yeah, it's not like Nebraska has a history of 1st time head coaches having success:
Tom Osborne - 255-49-3 (.836) 1 of only two head coaches in D1 CFB history to never win fewer than 9 games per season
Frank Solich - 58-19 (.753) Never had a losing season
Bo Pelini - 67-27 (.713) The only other head coach in D1 CFB history to never win fewer than 9 games per season

Well the experienced ones we've brought in have done exponentially worse than any first time guy we have ever had....so idk why people keep thinking a first time guy is bad.

So you define success as being fired as the HC at NU. nice. if they were so successful they would still be coaching at NU

So, winning over 70% of your games isn't successful? I guess you've never heard of Harvey Perlman or Steve Pederson? Nebraska is the only school in history to fire a 9 win coach without any losing seasons. In fact, they've done it twice!So you define success as being fired as the HC at NU. nice. if they were so successful they would still be coaching at NU

The fans of other B1G teams I have talked to are sad that we fired Bo. I think that they would throw a huge party if we hire Frost!

It doesn't make sense to fire someone in their first year unless they are win-less. Riley hasn't been great for you guys but he has been competitive, you've been in every game this year and could very easily be 6-0 right now. Firing a guy like that so early sets a terrible precedent and it's not as if people are beating down the door to coach at Nebraska.
You have to play to your strengths. Some schools have location, others have tons of money, fertile recruiting grounds or a prestigious conference but in Nebraska's case I think we'd all agree that your greatest strength and source of appeal to potential coaching hires and recruits alike is your history and tradition. Flipping between guys every couple of years sort of cheapens that. Were I a Nebraska fan I'd give him at least three years.

I don't recall Dr. Tom being fired as HC. Now, he was pushed out as AD, not head coach.So you define success as being fired as the HC at NU. nice. if they were so successful they would still be coaching at NU
I digress, I guess I'd take any of those 3 over what we currently have.
