and will continue to do so but I will say this;
I'm finding it more and more difficult to believe that this is all going to end with the outcome that everyone has been expecting, clamoring for or clinging to for months now. It just doesn't work like that.
Administrator's don't fire an AD after week 3, hire a search firm and preach conviction to a national, "best guy available" approach, bring in an AD like Moos who so publicly (and conveniently) stokes the fires of attention towards Frost (against all conventional wisdom), only to actually hire the very guy you could've likely had with a simple phone call from TO at anytime going all the way back to day one.
Again, it just doesn't work like that. The art of deception, misdirection, discretion, etc are all paramount in what is being done and Moos doesn't talk about restoring NU to "being the hunted" by laying his cards out on the table for all to see and then making the obvious, easy and largely untested hire.
None of this is making sense.
Scott Frost would be a nice story. He may very well be a solid hire that eventually creates his own legacy as a great HC at Nebraska. All of that could very well be true. But it doesn't make a splash. It doesn't evoke a "Wow!" And it certainly doesn't make anyone regionally or nationally think that NU just positioned themselves on the fast-track to again being the hunted.
Nationally, Frost is simply an up and comer who makes sense and was the easy, safe pick.
Maybe that's enough for the administration and Moos? But I don't think so. My spidey sense is that the sights were set much higher. So the question is, can they actually hit what they are shooting at?
If I were going to predict or speculate, I'd say that it could very well be someone that no one is talking about. That's the way they'd want it. It won't be obvious. That doesn't accomplish their primary mission at the outset of making the change.
I'll support whomever. Always have (until they've proven they're no longer worth the support), I'd just be surprised that all of this that has gone on actually leads to the corner that so many have boxed themselves into believing is our destiny.
I'm just not going to load-up and get out ahead of this fast ball that everyone seems to be expecting. It's obvious. Too obvious...and I think we should be looking for something unexpected.
The biggest, most proven names in the sport are Saban, Meyer, Dabo, Jimbo, Shaw, Peterson, Harbaugh, etc And the "free agents" that belong on this list are: Kelly, Miles and Stoops.
Over this last few weeks we've all lost sight of Stoops. Why? Do we really know what his plans are? We know that he has no desire to associate with the SEC. And I'm pretty sure there isn't another program in the Big XII he'd go to. That leaves NU or UCLA if he can be lured back into the game at this time with big bucks.
I wonder what "Big Game" Bob is doing for the next 6 years/$50 million of his life? I'm being a bit "over the top" with this but I just get the sense we're all taking full bites of bait that doesn't even have a hook in it. Hell, I'm not even convinced that Bill Moos is fishing in this particular pond.
It just doesn't happen like it appears it's going to happen. So "according to Hoyle". It's too "face value" and too obvious. It doesn't work like this.
Personally, I'm going to keep my weight back and look for something off speed. JMO.
GBR!
