After listening to this, I think we hire Scott Frost if he is willing to leave UCF this year. If he isn't I think Mike Riley is retained until Coach Frost is ready. I don't think because of his character, ethics he will leave UCF this year. A year of investment time would be worth getting him here I think. He really is the only coach that will unite the whole fan base. But Mike must understand that no matter the results if Coach Frost agrees to come after the 2018 season he retires. If that could be worked out, which I think it could be, you might retain coach Riley as a media representative. They love him no question. Getting Moos, Coach Frost and having a guy the media loves involved could be real good for Nebraska.
I am not saying keep Coach Riley by any means. As some have said he is in the twilight of his career. We need the young "knight" in shinning armor. If we bring in another coach, the door for sure will close on Coach Frost. Are we willing to take one for the team I guess is the question? I think I would be.
Sumlin is a geat coach and would increase recruiting in Texas that moving to the Big has nearly killed it seems to me.
Chip Kelly just does not seem like a fit to me. Plus even though he is cleared, the NCAA will be watching him closely
Campbell a huge buy out, but if Frost can not be obtained seemed like the best fit going with youth
Whittingham to me just seems like a great fit. But has been at Utah a long time.
I really do not want to see Nebraska take a chance on a young DC or OC. We need structure, and proven leadership. Coach Frost would be better with 5 years experience but we would be paying close to 10 million a year on his current trajectory. Better to get him now if we can.
