We seem to assassinate Scott's character a lot...

It's interesting that most of the 2018 season coaching hires turned out poorly. Frost, Mullen, Taggart, Morris, Sumin, Pruitt, etc. Kelly and Fisher are the ones still hanging on and neither has lived up to expectations. Fuente was a name mentioned along with Frost in the Nebraska search. He had minimal success after 2018.
In an alternate universe where Frost stays at UCF, which other coach would have been a good choice at the time? (I'm not trying to argue one way or the other about Frost, just fan speculation).

Bo is way over rated he wasn’t even a good fcs coach
This is so spot on. Nearly all of the fanbase is ignorant to the weaknesses of coaches, especially ones that fall into an undefeated season and our former MNC winning qb. It was easy to see he had only coached one winning season, hadn't completed a recruiting cycle in his career and was the offensive coordinator of a perennial great offensive team. Mark Helfrich was also the OC for great offenses...but is he actually great, no. He fell into a great situation. Who was the qb coach of the Heisman trophy winner last year? Who was the OC for the national champion in 2019, nobody cares and it doesn't matter because the head guy and the talent is what matters. The warning signs were there mainly because of our own pathetic nature and groveling on Scott's ball sack. It was bound to fail because he knew he had no accountability, no push back for a half decade, and he turned out to not actually be a workaholic, he didn't want to spend 80 hours a week on the job, even for 5 million a year and he didn't want to recruit nationally and with detail and purpose. Scott's work ethic and make up is more suited for group of 5 ball and not rebuilding a team that might have Michigan, OSU, OU, USC on a schedule every year.
Fair point. Nebraska did get caught up in the hype and his resume was glitzy, but superficial. Having said that, other P5 teams besides Nebraska were interested in him (although Florida has since tried to downplay their level of interest). In a less than stellar crop of candidates, he was nationally considered an up and coming coach worth the risk.
Had a quality coach been hired instead of Riley we wouldn’t had the shit show plus frost was a hot commodity it would have been suicide by moos if he doesn’t hire him so to answer your question yep, good riddance bozo like I said many times it was only a matter of time where Bo goes full woody Hayes on a ref
Florida was interested in the illusion of Scott, once he illuminated his genius idea of keeping the entire former staff of Northern Iowa as coaches they backed off. We should have done the same but the insecurity and pathetic nature of our fanbase, of acting like abused children, led us to justify why hs coaches were suddenly going to complete a near impossible rebuild. Like wtf did we have FOUR former huskers or Nebraska guys on staff? What are the chances that four guys from NU or Nebraska would make world class coaches, and then happen to be on the same staff at the same time?
The Eichorst hire will go down as the worst hire in the history of NU. He devalued football in the AD, stopped supporting our current head coach, without any plan in place to replace him, and with no planning put Bo in a position where he was forced to fire him. He then fired a guy with the 3rd most wins in college football over the tenure, with no desire to spend money, in a year with few decent prospects. Trev is bad as well and maybe the job is just too hard and the skills necessary are untrainable but these bad years were put in place by Eichorst.
Trev may not be totally polished, but he has guts, And in this day and age, guts are enough.
Know nothing personally, but someone that bad at coaching here likely has some personal stuff going on. Callahan and Riley were bad, but not that bad. Pelini had serious issues and can't get another job, but he won 9 games a year. Frost had to have some issues to fail that bad.
Thing is I would LOVED to see Bo go ‘full Woody Hayes’… that’s how legends are made. Have never been prouder as a Husker fan than when Bo chased down Bill Snyder…
Blah.
Damn guys.. if only we would have improved our 40 times and bench presses..
Hardly a surprise given his spectacular failure on the field. It will take some years before this will die down some and even longer before it stops being rehashed. Just the nature of the situation if you live in the limelight. Fan's memories last a long time.
