You can also hire a lot of good assistant coaches who go do the recruiting for you and you basically go out to close recruiting commitments before NSD. You can spend your time recruiting to the players when they take their official visits to Nebraska, pick a few of the big time recruits you want and go visit them near NSD and let the assistants do the rest.I don't think Scott Frost would say no to a Florida job of any kind for one reason: He could have more time at home because he wouldn't have to travel so much for recruiting.

It's the Florida propaganda leaking into my head...You can also hire a lot of good assistant coaches who go do the recruiting for you and you basically go out to close recruiting commitments before NSD.

I'll add, the best recruiting tool is winning. If you start to win a lot of games you are recruiting a lot of players at the same time.
No Lincoln “Suck it Florida” FrostI thought they were naming their kid Gator Stephen Frost.
Correct - again, parallels to NU? How many times have we heard that of our culture?
Hiring Les Miles as your DC is one of the many reasons they won't hire you - even at bargain of 100kShoot.. give me 100k and I'll be our next coach. I'd use the other 5.9 million to hire Les Miles as my DC and Joe Moorhead as the OC and HC in waiting. Highest paid coordinators in the land and they'd call me a self sacrificing genius for taking such a low salary.

Did Riley ever interview for Nebraska...?Everyone told Mike Riley he was wasting his time interviewing at Nebraska and we'd never hire him... But here he freakin' is... for now
Valid point... I'm pretty sure SE closed his eyes, took a pin and stuck it in a map then said "Corvallis Oregon, whoever is coaching there is who we hire! Damn I'm good at my job"Did Riley ever interview for Nebraska...?
Pretty sure it went more like going to some coaching athletic conference, met a really really nice guy, came back to Lincoln, realized he was tired of his football coach being mean and remembered that really really nice guy at the conference.Valid point...

Are you confusing "everyone" with "nobody" since no one even knew Riley was under consideration.Everyone told Mike Riley he was wasting his time interviewing at Nebraska and we'd never hire him...

Not to nit-pick, but Miles was an offensive coach before becoming a head coach.
