Frost fits better than your favorite sweater but this couldn't be more on point. There is more than one way at a place like Nebraska.

If there's even the possibility of him being from Nebraska, don't you owe it to him to hire him?
Nebraska nice, right?

I just don't want to hear that we were outbid by another team. If we offer him a contract that gives more money, more years, and more freedoms than all other teams offered, I can live with the fact that Scott picked another team.

When frost retires in 20 years I would imagine the fan base would be united, we would be a steady winning program that almost any coach would want to come here.

Hopefully, we'd have some decent assistant coaches not from Oregon State.

If we do this I don't see us missing. Florida is enticing but a little dive into their history shows it might not be a great place to work. I think Scott knows he would have more support in Lincoln than he could get anywhere else in the country. That isn't small.

It seems like more and more well-known people think Scott Frost is coming to Nebraska which is great. I just hope they aren't all going off the same one or two sources.
I think the whole "Frost is the only hope" idea is based on more than just coaching.
Moos hit on fan apathy and a fracture within the fan base during his presser yesterday. Frost is probably the only coach at this time (realistic coach anyway) that 90% of Husker could both be excited for and patient with. He's the only option that grew up in rural Nebraska and understands the fan mentality of Husker fans - "its definitely about more than winning, but don't lose to Illinois and Purdue, ever."
If we hire Campbell or Fuente or whoever, it's going to be a long apathetic of season. Leach is really the only other realistic option that would generate major excitement, but it'd probably be the wrong type of excitement for over half the fan base.

I agree on the Frost part, but if Fuente creates apathy then fans need to get their Husker football bone checked. He has a division title and a 19-7 record through 2 years in the ACC which is probably the second deepest conference behind Big 10. That's pretty dang good.
I am 100% confident Leach is not a candidate. Moos doesn't want to tear apart his work at WSU to bring a coach who doesn't fit Nebraska and would hurt this program as well.

Ok, so I keep hearing about fracture(s) within the fan base. What are the fractures? Is it fans that wouldn't like a non-Frost coach? Or different philosophies about how to move forward (spread v. power)? Geography?
What would Frost be uniting?
He's not the only coach who can fix our on the field issues, but that's not the entire point or role he'll have here.
For the current state of affairs in Lincoln, Frost is clearly the best hope. Hopefully over the next 15 year's he improves the standard at NU where we're not just throwing coaches memes as a wall and hoping one sticks like we've done I've the past 15 years. Currently thing, we sort of need someone to step in and be more than just a good Xs and Os guy or a great recruiter or whatever,

People will give more time to someone that helped win them a national championship and is from the state. He has a lot of goodwill. Even if somehow he wasn't successful, he'd go down like a Bart Starr in Green Bay (still a beloved legend despite coaching failure).
