The thing I still don't get...

Scott Frost is a great coach with a good pedigree, he knows the state of Florida and already had success here. He learned a lot from his time at Nebraska and we have faith that he'll bring better results with better resources and a more fertile recruiting ground. Although he didn't win may at Nebraska, his offense and defense ranked in the the top 20 in several different categories and that success will boil over into wins here.

To big money donors: He's who we really wanted 4 years ago and now we get him on a bargain and he's agreed to bring in different coordinators. Nebraska's so screwed up, no one could have success there. At least they helped Frost work out the kinks for us.

Okay. Now go down the list of potential coaches for Nebraska, find the one with the worst record, blame it on the program, and sell him back to me as the guy you've chosen over all other options.

Bill O'Brien went 7-5, 8-4 at Penn St. against weak schedules. Records that have gotten every Nebraska coach in the last 20 years fired. It wasn't Bill O'Brian's fault though. Penn St. at that time was a crap show. No one could have won at Penn St. then. He's really a great coach in hiding, in the mold of Saban and Carrol who had semi successful college coaching careers, tanked in the NFL and then came back to be all world coaches in College. He just needs his chance to enter the college ranks. We're the team to let him do it.

Now if by some complete miracle Alberts has a PROVEN and seasoned Power 5 head coach lined up to come in and take over, I won't be upset if Scott gets canned after this season.

TBH, I pretty much expect Axe Man Alberts to fire Frost no matter what.

Frost is a former QB.  He wants to pass the ball.

Correction: Frost was an Osborne QB. He ran it more than he passed it.

So Bill can win as many games as Frost in half the time? Sounds like solid improvement

Yup anyone paying attention with any kind of rational thought coming into the season knew there was a real chance that we could be a vastly improved team this year and still end up with a worse record.

I am fine with losses against Oklahoma, Michigan State, Michigan. 

Not fine with losses against Purdue, Illinois and Minnesota if you want to make the argument we are improving. 

Sure it would be nice if we could have played Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland instead of Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State.. but I honestly dont think we win more than a game against those 3 other teams based on how poorly coached we are. 

I could handle a 6-6 year based on the schedule. At this point, we will be lucky to be 4-8. Can we stop with the conjecture we are improving.

I'm Miami and you've convinced me to hire Bill O'Brien instead of Scott Frost.
