Nebraska may name Scott Frost new Head Coach on Nov 26, TWO days after Iowa game
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
The announced crowd Saturday for #18 UCF's win over UConn was 29,384 in a stadium that holds 44,206.
Yikes.
Yikes.
Pelini is paid $128,000/month until February 2019.
Riley would be owed $170,000/month until February 2021 (less if he finds another coaching job)
Eichorst was owed $1.7 million on a contract that ran thru June 2019. That may have been all paid out already
I always thought Frost was a guy with integrity. I would be very surprised if he is talking to anyone until the season is over. In fact, I thought he said as much.
He probably isn't talking to anyone directly.....but you can bet he's agent is
You could almost make this statement about every team in the SEC. Athletes are plentiful and excellent. His path to a divisional championship might be easier in the B1G west. It's really just Wisky right now.
The SEC East is really just Georgia right now. The SEC East is likely the worst division in FBS this season. Turnaround and success will come a lot faster at Florida than it would at Nebraska.
A client of mine is a donor and suite holder. Take it for what it’s worth, but he told me two scenarios. 1st from his main source it’s a done deal. 5 mil, 5 year, and they ask Riley to stay front office. His other guy said if for whatever reason #1 didn’t happen, they are opening up the checkbook for Chris Petersen.
Chris Petersen? You mean the Washington Huskies coach who took his team to the CFP last season and was a CFP contender late into this season. He has Washington competing for PAC titles yearly now. Why would he leave a program he has on cruise for a rebuild job like Nebraska? Husker fans are delusional.
I've heard many names thrown around.......first time I've heard Chris Petersen. To me, very, very unlikely.
Chill Hissey! Is Wadley even going to make the short list (or long list) for a running back in the NFL? Any 2 or 3 star recruits you want to brag about or are you all going to continue to worry about Scott Frost. At least Nebraska has a way out. Iowa is trending down and is stuck with a Ferentz from here to eternity. We'll all tune into this message board five years from now and the best creative thread will be "FIRE KIRK."
Bullshit. Ed Podalack was really good at football, Davidson is famous for having a kicked ball float into his hands.
Now thats funny. So they have upgraded strength of schedule by joining the big 10 west?
I don't know why you would want that job. Incredibly high expectations, terrible recruiting area, a legacy that is old enough that current recruits weren't even born yet, an old fan base that assumes the program should be as good as it was in the 90's, and you are living in Nebraska.
If Frost is a hot commodity, he would be smart to avoid that job. He'll get paid just as much if not more at another program that is the complete opposite of all of those factors.
The Nebraska job sucks across the board.

Interesting comments, and I largely agree. Nebraska is not the destination it COULD have been, but it is still a school with a historic presence in CFB. And Frost could be the guy to bring NU back to its historic levels. We'll see.
Nebraska also, likely, represents a gigantic paycheck that would guarantee security for the Frost family for life, potentially to the children of the son they just gave birth to. That would be hard for me to pass up. Of course others like the Volunteers are also out looking, Arkansas will probably be in the hunt and who knows what other teams.
As far as your comment about Iowa and Nebraska being on the same level, I believe you do a disservice to Iowa. Iowa has won some things recently, beaten a top 10 or 5 team, been in the hunt for division titles, and so on. Nebraska, in my mind, is decidedly behind Iowa right now. And as maddening as the last couple weeks have surely been, Iowa has shown more upside than Nebraska, generally speaking, in the last few years.
With the right coach and staff, and a few years, I think Nebraska can come back to prominence.
A hire like Frost is probably going to get 5-6 years to get things in order, as long as there is consistent progress. A homegrown Husker as coach? Yeah, I think he gets more leeway than the average. If he wants to come.
There are lots of great reasons to stay at UCF as well. I live in Tampa so I see UCF news and know Orlando pretty well. It's a very nice city, great recruiting, perfect weather. Great place to raise a family. And, if Frost is patient, UCF may be able to pay Nebraska or Iowa level money in 5-7 years if the success continues and fan support increases.
Whatever happens, it sure is fascinating to watch. And I hope that Frost returns to Lincoln of course, but I will be happy to see him succeed wherever he goes, if anywhere.
Well it looks like they'll have a 2-4 record against the B1G West this year, you do the math !
If Iowa is trending down then Nebraska is an absolute dumpster fire. ISU fans are even laughing at you.
Think again. He and Bill Moos (our new AD) have a tight relationship. He was the receivers coach at Oregon for 6 years while Moos was the AD at Oregon, and developed a strong relationship there. His buyout is less than $1.5 mil. His son needs special medical attention that he cannot get easily in WA. There is a special medical program at UNMC (Ne Med School) that can handle the situation rather easily. Thus, there is some real interest by Petersen, and it wouldn't surprise me if he's not #1 or #2 on the list.
He can’t get medical attention for his son in seattle/bellvue? Keep dreaming.
Have yet to hear craig bohls name thrown around. He was the likely candidate for a ling time, now, nothing.
I think of all the candidates I've heard of, short of Chris Peterson, I think he is the one guy that understands what you need to win in a place like Nebraska. (Physical, run the ball etc)

Bohl has never been a likely candidate. His age probably his biggest detriment. Was not a good defensive coordinator here in the early 2000s, but he has turned into a fine head coach.
His son, Sam, when he was 1, was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor that had spread into his spine. Sam is now 18 or 19 and is cancer free from last reports I've heard and has been for several years now.
There is NO WAY he takes the NEB job over the FLA job if offered. Would make little to no sense,...but I guess he did graduate from Nebraska
I think it is a mistake for Nebraska to go all in on Frost without really taking a look at what they need to succeed going forward. He is the popular pick because of the ties but making a hire too fast could backfire. I also don't think it would happen that fast. I am not sure that it would be a better job.
your post quoted cecilB......13th post of this thread. now i’m confused. maybe you replied to wrong poster.
Ah, ok. It was N. Legend who replied to me. I was just laughing at Husker fans gossiping about who their coach will be.
Why did Frost go to Stanford his 1st 2 years of college did Nebraska not offer or did he want to go elsewhere it doesn't make any difference I just wondering.

Bill Walsh smoothed talked him into becoming an NFL QB.
Bill Walsh, and Frost believed, he could turn Frost into the next Joe Montana. Walsh tinkered with his throwing mechanics and what not and he never gained any footing to QB any of Walsh's teams. Walsh then asked Frost to try safety, but his heart was set on playing QB. Frost reached out to Osborne, who actually encouraged Frost to stick it out at Stanford, at least through the following spring, to see if things improved, but Frost wanted to come back home and try to play QB.
