** Scott Frost megathread all things SF***

[Cdog923]

Please Scott, if you’re reading all of this, come back to us! We have our hopes up for you and will give you time. You have the passion and personality we want! You are a Husker! GBR!

"Im pretty sure we have.  TO is the "secret" in the secret sauce that will get Frost here.  If Frost wants to come...." 

what?!! Haha ... if Frost "wants to come", then TO shouldn't be needed. And if TO is needed and is the secret sauce to luckily landing him, then that would mean Frost isn't as interested as everyone on here would like to think he is. This FROST BEING NEBRASKA's SAVING GRACE is causing people to say some crazy ridiculous stuff that doesn't make sense what so ever. 

Not saying he is the saving grace.  I, like most fans, want what's best for NU.  Period.  End of discussion.  In 2015 I thought Riley was wrong and even more so now....

Frost, IMO, checks the block.  You are correct that Frost will go where he wants.  TO is a conduit to Frost that no other university has.  Frost has said repeatedly how much he respects TO.  no doubt, if he is offered the job, Frost and TO will communicate.  Might be at the request of NU or Frost simply calling a trusted friend and getting advice.

If t comes down to UT, UF or whom ever, TO could possibly be the deciding factor.  Of course his honest opinion might also have Frost look elsewhere....

This is what some alcoholics would call a "moment of clarity". 

People need to chill the F out. If it happens, it'll happen. 

Exactly! And if it isn't Frost and some other name that comes in, whoever that is will already be "behind the 8 ball" and have one helluva hill to climb in some folks eyes, because Frost was tagged by them as the saving grace of this program before the job has even opened. I like Frost, I hope like hell it works out and he's the #1 candidate if/when the job opens, but if he's not we need to see who is mentioned with the job as well as Frost to see where we stand. And WE ALL NEED that coach to be the right hire and a good coach to get this program back on track.

It is something a fan would hope for, but not very realistic in the business world. 

I don't disagree.

I think there are already back channel behind the scenes things going on anyway.  An adult modern version of check yes if you think Scott is cute.  Put an x in the box if you could see yourself working for the Moos.  

Nothing ifficial that that would make either side look bad.

Like I said, this is going to get interesting.

I recall someone having done that with Tressel/NU 3 years ago.  Ah the joys of Wikipedia.  I could go in there right now and say Frost is the coach of East Jabip State.

I remember being excited, only to realize he was in Lincoln to bring Bo to Ytown.

And sock puppet got everyone riled up about it.  Good times... good times.  Back when we had actual hope of getting a good head football coach on our payroll.  That is, until the ultimate gut punch.

 

[Guy Chamberlin]

While many, if not most, were focused on Pelini's antics, I was shaking my head at what I believed was happening behind the scenes from the chancellor of all people.

Say, how is Bo doing over there at Youngstown State with a totally supportive administration behind him for a change? 

Think I'll just wander over to Google and see how they did yesterday......

Oh dear. 

 

[NebraskaHarry]

You know I've thought about that whole Riley hire. Now imo it never should have happened, but in the end, if it's potentially the reason Nebraska gets Frost, then I can get a tiny bit of peace from that. Because at least with Frost I feel like nebraska has a chance at winning. 

 

[GBRFAN]

I thought that D treated every offensive player like crap regardless if what team they played for 

Too bad we didn't get to add Michigan to that list.

 

[broganreynik]

Just read the big Sunday OWH story on Frost. I had no idea he was so hated by some and what he went through.

Scott’s our new coach. No doubt now.

I was only nine when he transferred to NU, but I remember quite clearly that my dad hated his guts and thought he was all about himself. 

“Listen to his interviews! It’s all ‘I this...’ and ‘I that...’”

So, I did. I didn’t hear that at all. Now, the fact that I didn’t like my dad certainly plays into it, but Frost was my favorite player from the first time he took a snap. I even chose my favorite NFL team because they drafted him, then changed it again when he went elsewhere as a free agent.

But, man, some of those fans were just brutal. Even now, I respect someone who makes the hard decision to try to better himself (because I always take the easy way out); especially if that means going to Stanford.

I respect someone even more if they recognize that the hard choice didn’t work out, and they correct their mistake.

Oh, btw. My dad talks quite fondly of Scott Frost now.

Without sounding too much like a homer I wouldn't worry too much about Florida scooping up Frost.  The current UF AD is the former Mississippi St AD so the logical (or lazy) conclusion would be that UF will take a swing at Dan Mullen.  Mullen was the OC under Urban Meyer at Florida so there's a reasonable parallel there.  I think Petrino ends up leaving UL (especially if Lamar Jackson goes pro) so you figure UF and/or UT will kick the tires.  That doesn't take into account Chip Kelly and Mike Norvell.  UF tried G5 HC approach with McElwain and it didn't work out, it wouldn't surprise me if they went with someone more established.

Win the SEC East 2 years in a row and then get run out of town, while being asked to take significantly less on your buyout... sign me up for that. 

Quite a contrast to all of our hand-wringing over firing bad coaches.  Florida has lost their mind.  Doesn't seem to be a very Nebraska way of running a program and I imagine Frost (and possibly other coaches) will take notice.

Well the Florida folks have a different take on this (obviously).  According to them JM was brought in to improve the offense as much as the rest of the team and his offenses have been godawful (averaging 105/130) in the NCAA.  On top of that he has not gotten on well with the AD and boosters. Yes they backed into some division titles but he days of that happening with Kirby now at Georgia is over.
