Every coaching hire other than Nick Saban and Urban Meyer is a big risk. It's all about making the best guess you can and being comfortable with what you gamble.

Charlie Strong was wanted by everybody.

P.J. Fleck was wanted by everybody.

Jim McElwain was wanted by everybody.

Bret Bielema was getting elite results at Wisconsin.

Tom Herman was wanted by everybody.

Kevn Sumlin was wanted by everybody.

There are plenty of other examples, but reality is that all coaching hires are gambles, and coaching hires from G5 schools even more so. What big time splash hires from G5 schools in the last 10 years have won championships? Can you tell me?

That’s completely different then what the post we were replying to was inferring. Frost is the lowest risk hire Nebraska could make outside of the ludicrous and unrealistic examples you cited. If your point is all hires outside of two guys(I would argue Dabo is pretty close to them risk wise) are high risk fine, but for this school and this fan base this is the lowest risk option. The overwhelming majority of this fan base is demanding the guy. He is a native. A past football hero. What this translates into the ability to get someone here who is not only qualified but also is going to be afforded the time and patience that is likely to be needed to turn this thing around. People hate to admit they are/were wrong. Frost will get the time other similarly qualified guys like Fuente likely would not. 

So yeah all hires are risks but this was the lowest risk hire we could conceivably make in our current situation. 

To answer your other question Chris Peterson. PAC 12 champion year 3 at Washington. Unless you are talking only about national championships, but by your own admission in the Fisher discussion that’s a pretty harsh metric as the only measure of success

 So you’re telling me it’s just by chance that he’s wearing a Nebraska shirt to a UCF game and it has nothing to do with the fact that we’re about to take their head coach? I’m sure the guy has a million different polos / shirts in his closet. It’s very unbecoming and a slap in the face to the fans there rooting for UCF.

I’m sure everyone who goes to the Super Bowl should be a fan of the teams playing. If they’re wearing their team’s colors, it’s disrespectful to the participants.

Either one of these teams would destroy the Nebraska D. 

Who is the winner projected to play in the Peach Bowl?  Hopefully another top 25 team.

No kidding - we let Minnesota score their last 50+ points of their season, and they were terrible.  Can't even think about the score vs one of these two teams.

Projected winner -- I think the loser of the Wisconsin/OSU game is one prediction i saw, but guess we'll find out tomorrow for sure.

There's a reason that all Florida city sports teams struggle with attendance, and why Nebraska is the only school in the country to get 8,000 people to volleyball games. The reason isn't because their fans suck and we are the best, or their programs suck or they're bad people or anything like that. If you can't figure out what the reason is, then that's on you.

I lived in Miami for 5 years....UM never sold out.........UCF never sold out.........Locals don't flock to Disney, Epcot, Universal on the weekends.  The tourists do.  The locals know to avoid the crowds......It's not the amount of other things to do....For whatever reason, they don't show up.  There are a lot of other teams to root for in Florida on Sat...Just of the top you have FSU, UF, MIA, UCF, USF, FIU, FAU......So yes, the local base is divided, but with the large student body UCF has, no reason they shouldn't be able to sell out.....

Lo for the win.

That's why I said earlier, today should be about UCF. If they win, give them some time to enjoy it and celebrate. There doesn't need to be any rush to announce him as our coach. It can wait till tomorrow.

They already know. Everybody does. 

It doesn't matter to me when it's announced, but the formal announcement of something they already know isn't good night to hurt them.

Yikes!  No kidding.  I've been busy this morning and just caught the game at around 12:30.  Wow.  UCF defense is not very good.  Missed tackles!  That's what Nebraska has struggled with for 3 years!  Well, who knows.  Maybe Scott will have Chinander sit at the feet of Charlie McBride for a bit (just as a consult-Charlie would love that!) to learn what it means to be a Blackshirt!?  Although, I'm watching tv now and they look better-have sacked the Memphis quarterback!  Their offense is pretty good.  I'll confess, I'm nervous about Chinander. :(   (Love the hustle and play of that one player who is missing his hand-Wow!  That kid is fun to watch. He just tackles with his whole body!)
