Not a hot take, bud. Simple facts. Purdue is paying their head coach more annually than we are. Try to rationalize it all you want, bud, but that should never happen under any circumstances.

It's not a rationalization. It's a simple truth. Purdue hired a coach in higher demand with a higher ceiling in terms of presumption and perception. If you want to argue that Nebraska should spend more money for a better coach, that's one thing, but framing the argument like you are is fairly erroneous.

Using this narrative, every other NFL team in the league is pathetic because the Lions are outspending them for a quarterback.

Why?  When TO was coach, there was a lot of programs paying their HC more than TO was making.  All I've read on here the past week is how we need to be more like Wisconsin.  Go look at what they pay their coach.  See what they paid the one before him and the one before him.

 
Bo got fired for being a jerk.  plus his recruiting sucked!  no decent place is going to hire Bo, because of the baggage he drags along!

 
Mike Leach, Scotty Frost, Turner Gill. Maybe a Les Miles. I know Leach sounds crazy, but if you look at it objectively, he has brought success everywhere he has gone.

 
I would take either of those first two you mentioned. Both gonna be big stars in the coaching ranks.

Or throw a bunch of money at Saban and give him a challenge, say to him, "Lets see how good you really are."

Interesting read.  The question is asked: Why would Frost want the NU job?

Quoted in part:

I’m going to say something now that probably sounds ridiculous on the surface, but deep down it’s really not: Other than Nebraska being his alma mater, why would Frost even want the job?

Nebraska is simply not the program it once was when Osborne and Osborne’s legendary predecessor — Bob Devaney — were stalking the sidelines and steamrolling the competition with their I-formation and triple-option offenses. If the Nebraska job were such a great job then why are the last three coaches hired named Bill Callahan, Bo Pelini and Mike Riley? This sounds like a pool of candidates for NC State, not Nebraska.

The problem is college football has changed and so have college football recruits. Unlike Ohio State, Nebraska isn’t in the middle of a fertile recruiting area and the Huskers no longer have the national cache to lure five-star recruits from across the country. In the minds of many top prospects, Nebraska is simply a bitterly cold place in the middle of nowhere.

 
Remember when the Oregon job opened up last year and the natural assumption was that Frost — the Ducks’ former offensive coordinator — would become a candidate? He quickly pulled himself out of contention because, as he said, “UCF is where I want to be. When you recruit kids to come play for you and you agree to do something for a program; when you give your word to people, I think it's your responsibility to see those things through. I started something here and I want to see it through.”

Even more telling, though, was Frost saying it was actually easier recruiting to UCF than it was when he was an assistant at Oregon. Frost admitted it was a tough sell to convince recruits to travel hundreds, even thousands of miles, to play football in the Pacific Northwest.
