Bold Prediction: Scott Frost Fired By Year Six
- Thread starter IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life
- Start date
A) it's not going to happen, he's not going to compete for a division championship let alone a national.
B) it's year four of the Harbaugh experiment, not year two or three
Right now he seems like a great hire. A fanatic fan base has the coach they want. If he can recruit, salad days are ahead.
To be honest, that really is one of the differences in the two fanbases. Nebraska fans gravitate towards the negative values of accomplishments while Iowa fans see things more from a positive standpoint.
I really like this analogy.

A few thoughts on this. I think that if it's possible to get Nebraska back to elite status on the national level, Frost is the guy to do it. I also believe that after firing 4 coaches in a row with varying degrees of success on the field, fans and the university are likely to give Frost more time to right the ship than the other coaches were given. The fact that he's a native son and was QB of the last national championship team gives him more political capital than any of the last 3 coaches had.
I don't live in Nebraska so i admittedly don't know too much of expectations from local fans - some people's expectations may be unrealistic, as the OP suggests. I do listen to 1620 The Zone podcasts a few times per week, and most of what i hear indicates that Husker fans think this will be a 6 or 7 win season, but 2019 should be much improved
Following the next two years, i think Husker fans hope we're where Wisconsin is now in the West, and if not winning it every year, maybe winning it once every 2 or 3 years.
I don't think that is unreasonable as Nebraska tends to recruit as well or better than any team in the West, but as Hawk fans know, Nebraska has been bad at developing that talent in recent years. So if this staff can develop talent while maintaining that recruiting edge on a consistent basis, Nebraska should be one of the top teams in the division most years.
All that said, expectations will ramp up or down quickly for Frost and staff depending on how this year goes. If they go out and win 10 games this year and are competitive in the losses, the expectations going forward will be much different than if they win 6 games and get blown out 3 or 4 times.
I'm more optimistic about Husker football than I've been in many years, but it's still tough to imagine the team getting more than 6 or 7 wins this season when they were so bad last year. Looking forward to the season starting!

I advise you to go with the 10 win first season and are competitive in the two losses. That seems like the wise decision. Then in year two you surpass OSU, Wisky, PSU, MSU, Michigan. This appears to be a reasonable expectation if I were a Nebraska fan. American Athletic, MAC, SEC, B1G. They are all the Same.
A) I’m aware it’s the fourth year I as I stated he had two 10 win seasons and a 7 win season.l in Michigan.
B) I never stated he’ll win a NC. I stated conference.
C) it’s very likely it’ll be between Michigan and Ohio st in the east.
D) I think your bitterness is making you emotional and irrational.
What does this even mean? I said expectations for 2019 and beyond will be much different if Nebraska wins 10 games in 2018 versus if they win 6 or 7 in 2018. Not sure what that has to do with other conferences.
They’ll still ‘sell out’ every home game no matter how bad they are. What is there to do in Lincoln?
Lincoln is lame. Boring state, boring city, boring university, boring people . . . . Nebraska.
You’re entitled to your opinion but almost all the pubs I’ve read thus far have UM finishing 3rd or 4th place in the East.
I have heard it from reliable Nebraska sources that Saban intends to wrap up his career at UN, although he may have second thoughts if he has to follow Frost's act. Some big shoes to fill...
Kirk Ferentz could stay in bed the entire season and win 10 games every year at Michigan. With the advantages that program has, almost any competent coach could.
I compare him to Harbaugh because my friend was referencing a B1G podcast, and I answered with the "insert 2015 podcast with name change". Basically, a new coach at UM, Nebraska, O$U or PSU will get that kind of love, excepting Mike Riley, which was a hire that NObody understood.
No such podcasts predicted it for Chris Ash, DJ Durkin or Jeff Brohm. My guess is when Chryst was hired it was about whether or not he could beat the B1G East winner and/or how soon it might happen.
You can't 60K in your stands, and it's Iowa. Iowa City is a decent town, but don't act like Iowa isn't basically Nebraska. Corn, cows, pigs, drinking, and outdoor activities.
