they blame the phantom bomb threats, but truth is he was on the chopping block long before. i dont care about that really, but give us the same courtesy.
Why would Frost choose NU over Florida?
- Thread starter Red_Symptoms
- Start date
I'm not wishing this, but if Nebraska gets humiliated in Happy Valley which could very well happen I would be very surprised if Riley isn't fired that Sunday after the Penn St game.
You’re less than a week away from Iowa at that point. He won’t be fired until after Iowa if then depending on his record. There is no point.
He said he doesn’t fire a coach during the season except for misconduct. Ridiculous to think he’s not jockeying for position right now.
That's under the gigantic assumption that someone (your new AD) has told him Riley is gone. Otherwise your wrong. If someone offers you an electrical job that guarantees you 20 million but the electrical job you really want (but you might not get in two months) offers the same amount- which would you take?
Amen- Nebraska is a big time program--- anyone with eyes can see Riley is not a big time HC
Good move by Florida. They're not trying to hold on to mediocrity like some around here..
Unfortunately there are quite a few blind ppl around.
What’s your evidence? I’m going off the 5+ radio interviews he’s done this week plus his track record giving Wulff a 4th year at WSU.
It's an easier place to recruit to, but I wouldn't call it a better job. Florida fans demand SEC titles in the first couple of years or they will turn on you quick. With Alabama dominating, and now the fact that Georgia is an elite team again, those expectations aren't very realistic.
Whereas at Nebraska, you are in one of the easiest divisions in major college football. A good coach is almost 5 guaranteed conference wins a year, plus usually 2 easy non-conference wins.
He is not at Washington State anymore... Riley needs to win out and it's not going to happen.
The people hired him for a reason and not to keep Riley around for 4th year.
Normally, our admin/AD would be competent and I’d agree. Unfortunately they are not (that could change) and the only evidence we have on Moos is his radio interviews and keeping Wulff around for a 4th year.
I don't know how anyone in their right mind would think it would be even remotely acceptable to continue with Mike Riley.
Fire Mike now already and get moving on getting Scott. If Bill screws this up, I don't know what to say. I would just be dumbfounded.

If Bill screws this up I think about 1/3 of the fanbase will be lost and will never return.
Think negatively all you want. I Just don’t think that’s what he was hired to do and he’s not going to go off on the radio talking about Canning Riley and all the replacements he’s contacting.
If so,
Exactly. I will give Green and Bounds some blame also. They should have fired Riley right after OSU and put it all to rest. Maybe they will come through in the end, and Moos is working behind the scenes to get Frost, but I have my doubts.
What REALLY bothered me last night was the collection of our players laying on the turf after getting hit. If they were injured, I understand, but at least a few looked like the result of them not getting enough "physical" reps in preparation for games. That was really disconcerting.
You have no actual actions to back up your logic. Moos kept Wulff for a 4th year - that actually happened.
I hope I’m wrong.
All I know is that if Moos Fs this hiring up, he will immediately become public enemy #1 in Nebraska. The fans have had 15 years of piss-poor decisions by our athletic department and/or school, and won't stand for another one. He just started the job, and his leash is already short.

You glossed over one very important thing: it's easier to recruit to Florida, but what about at Nebraska? Where is Scott Frost going to get talent from in Nebraska?
Best of luck to Frost at Florida. Finally we get to see what he can do playing with the big boys.

What if my friend told the 2nd company I would take the job whenever it is available, at 7 million?
Also worked behind the scenes and lined up his guy before firing him.
If he fails at Florida, then I would hope not. That's why it's important for him to go to Florida first. To prove he can build something and sustain it. Let Florida find out if he can sink or swim.
No we don't. Pelini got 7 years without a conference title, told the fans to F-off, and many still wanted to keep him. We just don't tolerate multiple losing seasons.
Also, Penn State and Ohio State are in the opposite division. We are in a division with 6 teams that we can out-recruit easily and should beat almost every year. A good coach should never have a losing season here.
You realize that Frost came all the way from Florida to Wahoo, NE last year to get his QB recruit? Also, Jaylin Bradley from Omaha would be a great fit for his offense. As would Spielman and Lindsay, and they all have 3 years left.

Hes proven more than Mike. How is Scott these days? Im assuming you guys hang out all the time and hes told you everything
.
Moos didn’t have to work too hard to get Leach. Leach had no other real options at the time.
What has Scott Frost proven? He hasn't proven that can compete with the upper echelons of college football. He hasn't proven that he can recruit and build a football team. He hasn't proven he can sustain a program over a period of time. He hasn't proven much as a head coach. He was blown out by Arkansas State 10 months ago in the bowl game (the one game where you get to prepare and show what kind of coach you are).
So with that said, good luck to Scott at Florida. Hopefully he CAN prove all of those things above. Then we can bite the bullet and pay him $5MM a year and lock $20MM+ up for one man. Absolutely no chance we can take that risk at Nebraska right now.
If he’s successful at UF he’s not coming home. Apparently you’re one of the idiots that wants to “wait and see” with frost.
Using your logic Urban Meyer would’ve never been hired at UF.
Urban Meyer proved he could hang with the big boys at Utah. Scott Frost has not. Urban Meyer was a head coach for a lot longer than 1.5 seasons. Big difference.
