When Riley was hired, his deep pool was nearly all OSU retreads, and he has fired many of them already.

Most likely not but it’s fun to talk about him.
Does anyone know if he’s the Chip from My Three Sons?
May not be a serious option, but he is out there to talk with. No need to ask an AD to get him on the phone.

After thinking and reading a bunch of responses the last few hours. I'm convinced (although unfounded) that the timing of the firing of SE is completely due to Scott Frost having a great start, and becoming the next hot name for a P5 offer.
Bounds/Green probably went up to SE and said "look, here's the deal, you are going to contact UCF and Frost...and give him this offer."
Shawn said No and so they canned him. They hire Moos and in the interview said the exact same thing. You want this job, you're going to go get Scott Frost for us. He said "ok, easy enough" and now here we are waiting for 5 weeks till the announcement of MR being fired, and another month+ for the announcement that Frost is our guy (if UCF gets to a new years six bowl)
There's literally no one else. This was the plan from the get go, because the window is getting small on Frost. Had to go get him this year, even if they wanted to wait for another year.

They won’t wait until after the New Year to hire Frost. They will have Frost (or any other coach) hired as soon as they can, and have that new coach come aboard to start recruiting, especially with the early signing period now available in December.

I was thinking about Frost's comments about fulfilling a promise to UCF....
Nebraska never offered Noah.
SMH. Check your facts. You have the wrong prospect.

Well, I checked the facts, and fact is you didn't name a prospect for anyone to be wrong about.

Those promises are made to be broken. Unless it’s a national championship game or playoff, Frost isn’t staying to coach in a meaningless bowl game.

Then who the f#*k are you talking about? I don’t remember UCF beating us out for anyone. So why don’t you enlighten us.

While I'd love to see Chip Kelly stroll through the doors at Nebraska, I'm not sure how doable it is. Kelly is still owed $19ish mm from his NFL stints so he's making around $6.5mm/yr through 2019. That's some decent scratch. Surprisingly his contract with ESPN states that any money he makes gets deducted from what SF owes him. Plus there's the issue of his show cause penalty.

Whats the real issue with the show cause penalty. I keep hearing that it's expired but keep hearing that it's also an issue. Which is it?

I'ma go out on a limb and say there won't be as many of those posts if we don't hire another .500 coach.

TBH, I'd probably take Frost just because the potential for him being a long-term coach here is much higher.
Callahan took us to a conference championship game in year 3...
Don't forget his 'special' teams coordinator.
