I understand the way that many Husker fans are seeing that. It was quite tempting for me to see it that way, too. But I see it very differently, and I dare say in some cases, going by what you guys are saying, the very things you're mentioning as what is so good about the hire are what have others worried, not the least of which is, "everyone wanted Frost." That is a horrible reason to hire somebody for big bux at a school that has had a progressively failing football program for two decades (and counting). That reason smacks of a gimmick.
You hire a coach to run a (formerly) major program who is with no doubt proven. Scott Frost can be seen that way only if we use our imagination as to his resume. Moos was stating things himself, nobody put those words in his mouth; it's a quote (after another Nebraska loss). He was responding to criticism of the hire; he stated that he wanted to save the sellout streak. I have no doubt that he was also hopeful that, besides the sellout streak and satisfying the fan base with a good Nebraska name guy, he had other reasons and confidence. But he also stated that he'd be fine with just six wins this second season. Hello.
