Talk about intrigue.
Consider this Rose Bowl scenario: Oregon's up-tempo, spread-option offense versus Nebraska's fast-flowing, finely tuned defense.

Scott Frost, the Ducks' third-year wide receivers coach, believes there exists "a very realistic possibility it's going to happen in the near future."

Yeah, talk about intrigue -- Frost coaching against the Nebraska program he led to a national championship in 1997 as a rugged dual-threat quarterback.

The Wood River native went on to play six seasons in the NFL as a defensive back. He's played for and coached under a long list of regal coaches, including Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Monte Kiffin, Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin.

Now Frost is learning from offensive guru Chip Kelly, Oregon's head coach.

Tuesday, the 36-year-old Frost will share wisdom during a pair of presentations at the Nebraska Coaches Association Multi-Sports Clinic at Lincoln North Star High School.

This past January, Frost had serious discussions with Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini about the possibility of joining the Huskers' offensive staff. Frost, during a 30-minute Q and A on Saturday, declined to discuss those talks, citing his respect for the program.

Frost, however, addressed a variety of topics, including the importance of an offense having a clear identity and why he thinks he's ready to be an offensive coordinator.

Frost doesn't agree to do many interviews, so we really appreciate this one:

*So, let's match Oregon's offense against Nebraska's defense. Have you ever pondered how that might go?
"Oh, yeah, and I think it's a very realistic possibility it's going to happen in the near future. Nebraska's obviously one of the best in the country in doing what they do (on defense). I think Bo obviously knows what he's doing. But we also know what we're doing. I think it'd be a good battle. I think if you put the two systems together, you'd beat everybody you play."

The plan is to leave Frost installed at Oregon for a couple more years. Once he's made all the recruiting connections there, and learned the Duck's systems inside and out, we'll call him back to the mothership.

No faith in Beck?

Nothing against Beck, this plan was concocted before he was hired. We must stay the course.

Truth?

I think Beck will get at least a couple years to prove his mettle. Frost will surely have had better offers for top teir O coordinator jobs and maybe some lower level Head coaching gigs.

I dont see it happening in the immediate futere, but we will see.

If another OC doesnt work out here, what does that mean for Bo?
