The real devil who killed Nebraska football. Full court press is on for Frost. GBR

I hope you mean “that’s NOT the case.”
Either way, great post. I saw highlights from the UCF player/veteran running out on the field with the American Flag to honor vets day, and the stands were uncomfortably empty.
Frost would come here if only to play to a packed house. If he were a touring musician, he likely would never agree to play UCF again. But who knows.
I heard an analogy about all of mess of getting rid of everything related to our history. The negative people want to point out all of bad things in our history and keep bringing it up. Kind of like being married and having your spouse bring up everything you ever did wrong. How long will that relationship last? There is no way to know the Dynamics of everything that went on in the past but to keep on blaming people for everything accomplishes nothing. I don't understand it. Move on.
I agree - to a point. If you don't remember and learn from undesirable history, you are doomed to repeat it. Hiring Green and Bounds through national searches - check. Hiring Moos after a national search - check. Now, if he can go out and search nationally for the best coach possible (whether or not that guy won 1/2 of a MNC here), hire him and let him do his job, maybe we can finally stop talking about the good ole boy system that began in 1997 that got us where we are today.
Also if Tome doesn't go over Byrne's Head, maybe Byrne doesn't go to A&M and we never get Peterson, Cally, Etc.
Ah, Perlman. The favorite whipping boy when something needs to be blamed on someone, but there's no other obvious candidate.
You'd be shocked just how little Perlman thought about the football team. His job was to run a university. He correctly left it to others to run the athletic department and football program. Through three athletic directors and four football coaches, it didn't happen. I don't see how blaming it on the university chancellor has any merit, other than people just don't want to point fingers at Nebraska guys like Solich or Osborne.

You need to read/listen to Sipple. Perlman was running amok.
You think this Perlman stuff is opinion, it’s not. It’s common knowledge.
You're first mistake was listening to Sipple.
I enjoy reading Husker newspaper stories but man its' tough for them to always come up with something to write. His words aren't gospel.You're first mistake was listening to Sipple.
I believe other media members said the same thing. If you believe folks here over Sipple, I have some oceanfront property in lincoln for sale.
Well, the past is just that, the past right wrong and there is so much revisionist history on everything. How do we know a national search was not done in the past? I won't even get into the variable opinions of what "the best possible" is verses the best coach available. Could it be that already happened in the past?
Hard to tell what happened in the past because back in the day we didn't have message boards where many knowledgeable posters had all the facts. I don't believe there was a legitimate search for Byrne, he was Spanier's buddy from Oregon. Obviously not a search for Solich. Not a search for Perlman, he was promoted from within without looking around much. Maybe Perlman had a national search for the best candidate and that was Pederson, but I doubt it. Plenty of people were ready to run Pederson out of Pitt for moving football games to Heinz Field and demolishing the on-campus stadium. Pederson wanted to replace Solich with Wannstedt, his coach at Pitt. When that fell through maybe there was a "national search" resulting in Callahan, but I consider that more like taking left over pot luck. Not a search to replace Pederson with TO. TO may have had a "national search" to replace Callahan, but it was a one-man search and I believe it was a given from thee start it would be Gill or Pelini. Maybe Eichorst was the result of a national search if the definition of that is calling Barry Alvarez for advice. And there was no committee of consultants or consulting firm in the pick of Riley.
Nothing wrong with promoting from within or through networking if there is a slam dunk person available. We just promoted a gal from within to be CEO and she is doing exceptionally well. But you get in trouble over time if you promote from within or through networks if that shuts out much more qualified talent. In our case Byrne did well and Solich did pretty well, but everyone else on the list did marginally/poorly except I admit TO/Perlman did get us into the B1G.
100% correct sir. Bo wasn't PC or a nice guy. And he couldn't get over the hump to reach Devaney or TO land.
But at least he was massively better than the Clownahan & MR losing machines to say the very least.
Where did you find out he will be getting 4 mil a year? Do you know he likes it?
Your gut is mighty powerful to know these details.
UCF will get Frost to $4mil a year over time, if he sticks around.
He likes it. His wife likes it. He's said so
Or, I could listen to myself, who worked at UNL for eight years, and had ACTUAL interaction with the man.
Wannstedt = Diaco.
What a shitshow
Great post
P.S. Disagree on Solich, but he didn't get a great shot with new recruiting personnel. IMO, he couldn't close, didn't have the national appeal, of TO, and that was a huge drawback. He looks like a Toad
Both Bo and Solich needed to "outsource" recruiting. Big time.
It's a novel concept, but one that would be interesting, if you have a pretty good coach who can't recruit for shite...get him some help
Then your opinion is in the minority. Not saying you’re wrong, just saying you’re the only person I’ve seen defending Perlman (who is a giant idiot IMO with things like approving idiotic contracts).
Maybe he's a lawyer too.
Not saying lawyers are bad. Just saying, a bar exam doesn't = knowledge of college football. By a longshot
I'm betting on Chip Kelly to Florida. Have no idea about Scott. Probably comes down to Tenn or Neb.
He is way too competitive for that.
Frost is N. You'll hear it after Black Friday.
He won't go to Tennessee. He'll then be going up against Florida in recruiting. It's either us or the Gators and I believe it will be us.
Yeah, most coaches say that. He's not staying in Orlando.
Just like TO staying in Lincoln.
He had other offers.
You guys know nothing. Zip. Nada
Had to make sure everyone new he was in Power. reminds me of the kid who no one would play with so he promised himself he would show people when he got power. He reminds me of the weasel from Bugs Bunny cartoons.
What about yourself? What do you know?
You mean like Devaney at Wyoming? He should have stayed there for the lower expectations.
So very true. Lying Harvey is the one who hired Steve Pederson and then tried to find the closest thing he could to SP when he found Shawn Eikhorst.
How could anyone look at this person, and trust him, as a human being???
He looks like Satan.
TO had Top 10 teams at a blue blood program. Hardly the same as coaching at a commuter school in the AAC.
