Riley will be fired the day after the Iowa game.

Whoever our new coach is will be hired within the next 7-10 days.

There really isn't any reason for Frost to stay around and coach the bowl game.  Coaches leave before bowl games all the time.  More so now with the early signing period.

True. Here was my thought process on my post. Frost will want to coach that bowl game to possibly go undefeated. Riley would know he is done, but would be allowed to coach the bowl game.

 
As much as I'd like to see frost as our coach, I don't see it happening. It's just bad timing. One of the main reasons he took the UCF job is because recruiting is so easy there to implement his offense. Despite his and his staffs Nebraska ties, I think hes more likely to turn down a Nebraska offer and hold out a year or two more until he gets an offer from a big school with great local recruiting.

It's possible but I don't think he would struggle that much to land players that he is already landing at UCF for his offense and better.  Do you really think UCF out recruits Nebraska?

 
I understand the "easy" part about not having to travel much to recruit, but National recruiting is a part of every major job. You just hire guys that are go getters and the traveling you do is at CLOSING time.

which is why you keep guys like the Williamses on staff. Definition of GO GETTERS

They ranked 55 for the 2017 class.  One four star kid out of Memphis.  The rest were 2-3* guys.  IIRC, there were 21 kids in the class with 11 being from Florida.  Local kids with higher rankings are going elsewhere.  UF, FSU, Miami or other P5 programs.  What people are seeing at UCF is a coach with "less" who is actually doing "more".  He has a competent staff with a shared vision and a definitive scheme to recruit and implement.  no square peg round hole stuff going on...

Short answer, they don't out recruit NU.  They simply out scheme and out coach...

Nebraska outrecruits UCF, yes. But recruits from Florida are less likely to come to Nebraska when their family and friends may not be able to watch all their games (as others have noted). 

Another aspect that some of you (happy) current Nebraska residents might not understand is that the quality of life is so much higher outside of the plains and Midwest. I'm a Nebraska alumni, and despite loving NU athletics, I could never move back. This obviously may not be a factor for football coaches (especially when you make > $1m), who probably don't have much of a life outside of coaching.

I'll throw in that Frost is from NE, he played at NU....He definitely knows the issues in recruiting.  The reality is win and they will come....

He had the rep as a solid recruiter at Oregon....Unsure where the "doesn't like to recruit" comes in. I know he said he likes recruiting in Florida and that it's "easier", but don't see where he's said he dint want to....

Lol no kidding, that's why we are trying to hire them! Plus they would have more talent to work with.

I live in Midwest. Have travelled everywhere in the US. Have no intention to ever move there though. Everyone is different.

Haha.  I was agreeing  with you.  I think he would recruit very well here.  No worse than Bo and Riley have.  Like you, I really think he could do great things here.

Sorry, I realized that.  That's why I edited to sound less pricky. I thought initially we were going to debate that riley might be better schematically lmao.

Bolded is incorrect according to almost every study on QOL based in the States.  Midwest contains the highest QOL.  

You can be talking from personal experience, which is fine but to say Midwest has lower QOL overall is false.

You're absolutely right. My experience and that of my close friends and family.
