What the AAC Race Might Mean for Scott Frost, Nebraska and the New Year's Six
by Andy Staples, SI.com
There's a new athletic director at Nebraska, but the Cornhuskers have the same football coach. What happens now? I also answer questions about realistic expectations for Florida, the American's chances to get a team into the New Year's Six, the possibility of two SEC teams making the playoff and possible landing spots for Chip Kelly. On to the questions......
From Rick: There have been moose sightings in Nebraska over the years. How will this other Moos fare by comparison?
Andy: It depends. If he's the Bill Moos who went to Key West and convinced Mike Leach to come coach on the Palouse, he'll do very well. If he's the Bill Moos who kept rolling over Washington State basketball coach Ernie Kent's contract as a reward for losing by grotesque margins, then he won't do very well at all.
The measuring stick for success for Moos at Nebraska will be what he does with the football program. At the moment, he has to decide whether to retain or fire head coach Mike Riley. After what has transpired so far this season, there seems to be only one logical decision. (Perhaps Riley can go back to Oregon State, which opened last week when Gary Andersen quit.) If Moos decides to fire Riley, he'll need to make a great hire. Everyone can say what they want about the other sports, but football will determine how successful Moos's tenure is. Most Nebraska fans are well aware that the Cornhuskers are never going to recreate the '90s, but Nebraska can -- and should -- be what Wisconsin is now. It would be up to Moos to find the coach who can give Nebraska its own football identity and get the program on the proper level.
From @ikeyo_1985: Scott Frost is projected to leave a more talented, better recruiting base and easier conference for ........ Nebraska?
