If Nebraska wants Scott Frost they will have to come up with more money than they are paying Mike Riley. He will not command Urban Meyer money but if Nebraska wants to win like they did during the Osborne era they will have to pay a bigger name coach than Frost. This could turn into quite a mess since it is possible Nebraska has won it last game of the 17 season. Fans are not going to be happy by the end of November if that happens. The pressure will be immense to get a new big name coach with a history of winning. Not sure who that will be but Nebraska it at a major crossroad right now. Mike Riley has painted himself into a corner and he will have to win nine games to keep the Huskers on the road to an annual top ten ranking. It can go either way right now. If Tanner Lee plays like he did last week against Wisconsin and the defense keeps playing the way they have since halftime of the Oregon game we can sigh and hope for continued improvement. But Lee was a 53% passer at Tulane and before last week was holding pretty steady at that number here. It makes one ask what made us think moving him into the Big Ten conference would improve that percentage. We wanted to believe that the quarterback genius (Riley) would coach him up but so far there has not been much evidence of that. If the Illinois game was an anomaly we are in trouble Husker fans.
Just to clarify, you’re not saying Nebraska is annually getting top ten rankings, correct?
I had the same thought. If I recall correctly Bert had his own clock management issues.
A few more loses would equate to a dumpster fire in Baton Rouge. Yes, the buyout there is ridiculous.
