Non-Scott Frost Coaching Options

Mavric said:
I'm not sure I'd say it doesn't bother me.  It's one of those things that if he's your team's coach and he's winning, it's pretty funny.  If he's your teams coach and he's losing or an opponent, it's an easy target.

I think it's pretty poor form but I guess I wouldn't take one instance of one thing happening and form an entire opinion of how good of a coach someone is based on those two seconds.

I can respect that opinion. It is very hard to judge a person off of a single incident like that. For me personally I just think it crosses a huge line for a coach to interact with the other teams players especially in such a childish manner. He is a grown man trying to get in a confrontation with some kid and then on top of it he flops and then dances after.

The bold below is something I would disagree with strongly.  I think NU  fans would be greatly disappointed if Bielema was selected as our next coach. 

But it’s not a slam dunk that Frost will wind up in Lincoln. Despite those splashy names that are getting thrown around at Florida and Tennessee, both programs have deep pockets and seem more than capable of making a serious run at the Wood River, Neb., native.

Bielema, however, would be the ultimate consolation prize.

After all, Wisconsin’s model of success is the one that Nebraska is so desperate to emulate. Who knows that model better than Bielema?



He can either deal with that uncertainty, or he can let Nebraska woo (pig) him away. Why not go to a program with more resources, coach for an athletic director who wants you around and get back to the conference where you made yourself one of the top coaches in America? This wouldn’t be some tail-between-the-legs move back to the B1G. It’d be Nebraska, a program with ample history and resources that Bielema could thrive with.

It almost makes too much sense.

I can already picture Bielema’s offense running for 400 yards against some B1G West foe and hearing 90,000 at Memorial Stadium give that “this is what we’ve been waiting for” type of applause.

Bielema would be welcomed in open arms in Lincoln. He wouldn’t have the brash, defensive attitude of Bo Pelini. Bielema wouldn’t have the hapless, we’ll-get-em-next-time demeanor of nice guy Riley. Bielema would bring energy and a chuckle to a program that hasn’t had enough of that in the 21st century.

In honesty, I think Coach Frost would be good for Nebraska, but still feel there are others that have experience at the Nebraska level.  Going from UCF to Nebraska is a big change in many many ways.  Not a big fan of Chip Kelly, but he has ran a program that is comparative.  I am really concerned who we get if Coach Frost says no.  And how the fan base will react.  A huge kick in the balls, plus the next coach will know they were not even considered to be worthy.  Not a good way to start.  

There have been some very good recommendations, and I fall in line with those.  Matt Campbell seems to have put quite a team together.

I don't know that I really want Coach Frost, but I know he is really all the fan base is going to welcome.

To a certain extent yea. However, I think it just needs to be a big splash hire. I think if Frost wasn't even coaching right now, it would be the same deal-- who ever it is just needs to move the needle enough for fans. We know Scott will move the needle a lot so if it isn't him, it will have to be someone who can move the needle comparatively.

 
Sumlin hasnt really done anything all that special at A&M.  He has had great recruiting classes but the team always gets overhyped then goes nowhere. 

I think Fuente and Campbell need to be at the top of the list although either one i think would be hard for us to pry away. If I can put my bias aside I would probably choose either one of them over Frost at the moment. 

 
The problem I see there, is if he would turn down Nebraska, what big name would satisfy, and what big name would say yes.  If a hometown boy that lead said school to a NC does not want to return, there would have to be reasons.  It really is putting us in a very bad situation.  Hopefully for Nebraska fans, he comes home.   I understand the money side for the next coach, but I would really prefer someone that wanted to be here, and didn't just come for the money.  If Coach Frost says no, that is what we will be getting I am afraid.

 
If Bert is hired i will turn in my season tix and find a new team to root for. If him being a complete DB isnt enough, you dont hire a coach who will probably be getting fired at the end of the season. You dont fire a coach and replace him with a coach who just got fired if you're a P5 school.

 
Yep,  BB would not be much different than Bo.   It would get pretty old real quick.  And we'd have to apologize to Bo for letting him go (besides Bo getting his regular ck from us).

Simply wishful thinking to believe that Matt Campbell would leave ISU to pick up the pieces of our program. That is not going to happen.

IHe makes what 2 million a year? If NU offered 4-5, I think it would be hard to turn down. ISU isn't going to sustain long term success regardless of who the coach is or compete with B10 money. If Moos wants him and ponies up, he would accept imo.

4-5 million a year plus 9.4 million buy out, WAY TO STEEP A PRICE

Whoever wrote that article is 1000% delusional.  I honestly dont think i could support the team.  I didnt want Callahan, I didnt want Riley.  I supported the team regardless, but if Bert was hired.  I think I'd tag out until "it" was gone.  He is just such a despicable human being.
