Gundy turned down 6 year $42M at Tennessee. Confused why he even went to the interview if you turn down that deal....
He has always been the biggest flirt in the coaching market. His name is attached to seemingly every opening.Gundy turned down 6 year $42M at Tennessee. Confused why he even went to the interview if you turn down that deal....
Why? I know all about the recruiting aspect and getting here etc. but this is such an unusual circumstance. Winning every game in your division, then if they do win their CCG knowing you won't be allowed to coach these boys that you've spent the last two years developing for an opportunity to have a perfect season? I don't know. (And I'm asking sincerely 'why') I think that would be agonizing for Scott. But he is an adult and there are always consequences to any decision that we make in life. But I would like to know why this would be impossible.0% chance we would agree to this.

Bowl games really dont matter. I dont blame any future pro player for not playing them and I wouldnt blame a coach for not coaching in it. The game is 3-4 weeks removed from the end of your season, and is a celebration for the players that made it. It is nice to make a big bowl and it helps in recruiting, but all the advantages of going to and winning a bowl game disappear if you are not going to be there next year.Why?

When I clicked on this thread I don't remember it saying Bo Pelini Mega thread. Obviously it should be about Hot Carl Pelini.
But it was on a far smaller scale than it is now. This thread wasn't started until after Eichorst was fired and the first 15 pages are a lot of hemming and hawing about whether Frost is good enough to be here. The thread didn't start to take off until Oct. 15th (Moos' hiring) when Frost was only 5-0.and I think those firings were coincidence and incidental. The Frost want began well before either of those firings and it was just a matter of taking care of University business.
Exactly. The stars have aligned but things could have played out very differently.But it was on a far smaller scale than it is now.

I would not extrapolate Huskerboard's passion and interest into the entire fan base. I'm sure Frost was on Moos' radar from the beginning but it's silly to think that's who he was hired to hire. Nebraska just happens to be the potential fortunate benefactor of their own team going 4-8 and Frost going undefeated. This fan base would be singing a far different tune if Frost had lost 3-4 games after Moos was hired.

Exactly. He has a track record of success, he's uncommonly personable, has hired very successful football coaches and appears to have great leadership qualities.Agreed. If you have listened to a handful of Moos' interviews/press conferences you understand why they hired the man. As off the radar as it was, it seems like one hell of a hire at this point.
