What if Frost said no?

Forgive me if this has been raised before, because I haven't read all of the discussions about the pros and cons of Scott Frost. But it seems to me this is not talked about enough. There seems to be an assumption that the only question is whether we should hire him or not. It seems like most people aren't asking the question of whether he actually he wants to come here.

I have felt for a long time that it is far from certain that he would agree to come back. That is where a good portion of my opposition to him comes from-I have questions about his fitness for the job, but I am much more concerned that too many people are throwing all of their eggs into that basket. It seems to me that Scott Frost is seen by those people not only as the savior of Nebraska football, but as the only possible savior of Nebraska football. And if that's your viewpoint, then where does that put you if he says no? Does that just completely shatter your view of the future of the program? This program is so much better than to have one person and one person only who can save it. Yet that's what I think too many people seem to be thinking and I think it could lead us down a bad path.

After the Rutgers game, there were posters asking that very valid question in response to "Gushing over Frost". IIRC, most of them were run out of here quickly in rude and disappointing responses.

It is indeed FAR from certain he will come back. I treaded through posts over the weekend, but I'll be blunt right now....

"Why on Earth would he abandon what he has, (potentially WILL have), at UCF? Scott is a smart man. He knows his worth and pedigree. Why would he choose to come back to Nebraska? Legitimate question here.

Are his thoughts in league with Dave Rimington, "I'll do whatever I can to help out". Or does he wish to distance himself for both NU and his own good?

Besides all of this. I wouldn't be surprised if Scott separates his personal life, (NU memories and fandom), from his career and aspirations. This is very common amongst all coaches at any level.

I realize these questions will be unpopular. But, for the sake of good discourse I'd like to ask them.
