Four-Star Recruit
I understand that previous head coaching experience is important, because it's associated with being a good coach prospect; and that if we don't get this hire right, we're screwed for a verrrrry long time. But if we simply don't consider those without head coaching experience, I say we're missing out on a lot of potentially good head coaches - Scott Frost being one of them.
A lot of people are saying Frost needs to be a head coach for a few years before coming here. They want him to ultimately come here because they see the potential he has: charismatic, running (albiet not developing) the best offense in the country, a coach who knows what Nebraska is, star power, has learned from an unbelievable amount of legendary coaches, yada yada yada. Well Frost is never going to be our head coach if we don't hire him now. Some other team is going to snatch him up and be set for years.
I truly believe he's biggest boom-or-bust guy out here, and after being so average with Pelini so long, I'm willing to take that risk (which is why I'm glad I'm not the AD).
