If it takes 7 years to somewhat turn around a program in this day and age, you have a pretty piss-poor coach.This will take 7 years. Ohio State and tonight are harsh reminders of how far away we are.
/endthreadBecause we are a complete mess and we knew it would take time to turn it around.
It seems to me that if multiple news outlets covered it, it would have easily been found by Googling it. I did find a link to an article from 12/7/07 about Pelini's upcoming announcement regarding his staff....but nothing on former Husker players having pictures of their former coach. I even Googled "Tommy Armstrong has picture of Bo Pelini in locker"...and nothing.There were multiple news stories that mentioned it. Tommy Amstrong was one of them. There were multiple defensive players as well. Asking for a link for something like that is bullsh##. The truth comes out. So are you his kid or his wife or just another one of his golf and drinking buddies.
Yep, Frost was a no-brainer hire at the time (National Coach of the Year, Hometown Hero).
Matt Campbell is a better coach and would have been a better hire. But the fan base would have been livid if we hired him over Frost.
dude wouldn't have left UCF.. he could arguably win easier at UCF and not have the pressure. He got paid..he can do TV if he fails.Thoughts?
Go back to the Iowa board. IF you had been here Riley's first year, you would have seen the pictures of it posted on this board.

Either you're full of it, or you think that some hack blog or poster on a blog counts as a news report.
So....another poster that can only refute a point by calling people "trolls", and telling them to go away...also, the old "I don't have any proof....I just know it's true" argument.Go back to the Iowa board.

Because Frost wanted to make sure he was given enough time. ( I believe it was Frost no Moos who insisted on the 7 yr contract, and that he could bring all his coaches) Not sure he thought he would need that much time. It also was meant to give calm to the fan base that he and the university are in it for the long term. However contracts really mean jack s%^$, if Frost ends up getting with another losing season or 2 I fear he will be sent packing just like any other HC. long before the 7 yr contract. I said from the start he needs to be give at the very min 5 years no matter the record. My hope is 5 years will come and go and there will be no question if he should be here or not.Thoughts?
There is zero reason it should take 7 years. Now if you are talking to win a NC I agree. To get to the point of consistently beating teams like MN and Iowa, no. To compete for the West no, For a BIG10 championship, no. Once Frost is able to get another year or 2 of S&C and to clear out most of Riley players there should be no reason this shouldn't take off. That is if Frost is the coach we all hope he is.This will take 7 years. Ohio State and tonight are harsh reminders of how far away we are.
A good coach would be 6-1 with this schedule.

To deal with exactly the type of whining, misinformed, spoiled fringe part of the Nebraska football fan base that we are seeing in full bloom right now during the early stages of the rebuilding process. Grandstanding Dirk the duffus from the Omaha World Herald not being the least of the issues that were inevitably going to be faced as a challenge in this process.Thoughts?

It was discussed at length on this board and sports talk radio. IF you were a Husker fan and paying attention at all you would have known about it. The old "show me the link" line is a bunch of crap and you know it. Not every bit of information is worthy of being stored in writing in perpetuity. As far as calling somebody a troll goes, all one has to do is look at your posting history. If the shoe fits wear it chump.So....another poster that can only refute a point by calling people "trolls", and telling them to go away...also, the old "I don't have any proof....I just know it's true" argument.
BTW--I'm not an Iowa guy.
With past coaching failures and the crowd noise, it was the only sensible way to take the job.Who can blame Frost for demanding a huge contract? He was a hot name, and Nebraska was really, really, REALLY desperate.
Your last sentence hit the idiot, er nail, on the head. However, he's stated that he's been following Husker football since junior high, so he's got that going for him.It was discussed at length on this board and sports talk radio.

So as a middle aged white guy who grew up with a dynasty how am I supposed to take this?
