Realistic Coaching Hires with the AD

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any coach who's recruiting classes rank higher than their team will not be successful here.  Richt brought in great talent to Georgia, and then he piddled it away.  His final year at Georgia had a composite recruiting rank of 9.4 while his team finished barely ranked at 24.  In his final seven recruiting classes at Georgia, he only had two that weren't top 10 and they came in at #11 and #12.  Unless you believe he can recruit like that here, we'll never finish a season in the top 25 with Richt as our coach.

Maybe it would've been easier for you to understand if  I had put air quotes around "Nebraska Football"?

Oh, I see you snipped the part where I explained it in more detail.  That's the way to take the high ground.

Nothing hard to understand, you admitted that unless we hire Scott Frosf you are quitting as a fan.  Then you claim to be a Nebraska fan.  That is a contradiction.  What you actually would be is a Scott Frost fan.  If you quit being a Nebraska fan until they become good again, that would make you a bandwagon fan.

 
There was a time when Barry wanted the Nebraska job. But guess who was still the head coach at Nebraska when Barry became a head coach and guess how many years after a certain coach retired when Barry called it quits to go up to the office. 

People need to have better logic in their posts sometimes. 

 
Scott Frost is the best fit that Nebraska can hire. That is one of the reasons fans are pushing for him. There are 10 P5 programs that have an alumni of their school as their head coach and not a single one of those 10 are on the hot seat this season. 

 
I really don't care what offense we run but we did have a long track record of a successful blueprint and now a former Nebraska player turned AD at a school that damn near emulates Memorial Stadium and our uniforms has used same said blueprint. Riley got a taste of it in the Foster Farm's UCLA bowl game and then we were all duped to believe that was the direction we were headed.

At this point, I'm beyond caring what offense we run as long as it adapts to the talent we have and it's not a square peg in a round hole situation and we score more points than the other team.

We have different definitions of Nebraska Football.

They play a one handed linebacker, because he hits the s#!t out of people. It's not what you do, it's how you do it, and they do it with the heart we once did. There is a competitive fun about that team that we once had. There is an attitude in their program that we once had. 

They're fun to watch. Try it sometime.

You can say all those same things about Chip Kelly era Oregon, and it would be just as accurate.   The difference is schematically what they're doing is far more similar to Oregan than it is to Tom Osborne's I Option.

True.  My definition of Nebraska football is Nebraska Football players playing football.

Your definition is Scott Frost at UCF winning games by a large point margin with a style of football that doesn't even remotely resemble old school Nebraska Football.

 
I just want to be relevant again with a good coach and a team that plays tough for them... all this speculation, clamoring about coaches blah blah blah - it gets old. I was excited about Riley when he was hired and the opportunity that change brought. That has slowly died in my mind. I will again be excited when we get a new coach and a new opportunity for change. I just dont want that to be my only excitement for Nebraska football the rest of my life.

Wrong again.  You should probably give up.  Why do you care so much about my fandom?

How can iI possibly be wrong when I am repeating what you yourself have stated.

Literally nobody cares about your fandom.

Frost isn't gonna shy away from taking the Nebraska job because he's afraid of failing if that's what you're alluding.

I listen to Sharp and Benning on a regular basis.  DB has said for years, he is not really sure Scott would come back.  He gave several new reasons the other why he wouldn't.  Loves Orlando, newly married, and I can't remember the rest.  I am not saying he won't, I am saying it is not a slam dunk.  I think it has nothing to do with who the AD is.
