Imagine this scenario: Tennessee fires Butch Jones sometime in October (heck, maybe today). And behind the scenes, the Vols start pursuing replacements, including Scott Frost.
Meanwhile in Lincoln, the Huskers -- still without a full-time athletic director until November -- manage a 7-5 season. Good enough for Riley to stay another year.
And Frost, the native son who's supposedly waiting on Nebraska's phone call? He takes $4 million a year from the program he beat in the '98 Orange Bowl.
That scenario would drive (some) Husker fans crazy, but it's absolutely possible.
