In 10 years when coac Riley retires it would be great to see Scott Frost come back.

I wish him all the luck in the world and hope he turns out to be a awesome coach and then maybe , just maybe it will shut up his critics on this board.

I don't think there were any critics other than most felt Frost was not ready for a school at a level like NU. He may very well succeed. To get to this level he'll have to prove himself first at a school like UCF first. Are you just mad because Frost was not selected as NU's coach? I'm going to say he was never considered. That doesn't make me a critic. Give him time. He's just getting started.

Quite a few people questioned whether a 30something Osborne was ready to take over at Nebraska after Devaney. I think Frost will do well at UCF and who knows, years from now, he might get a shot at UNL. I know I will be pulling for him wherever he's at, unless he's coaching a team Nebraska is playing.Winking

We really don't know the future. UNL might have a shot at acquiring his skills but it is far from a sure thing.

Well especially if he is successful on a big scale; but then what would it take to get him to leave ? He would have established recruiting access throughout the Southeast; to go with the NW and many areas nationally. IMO; over 40 can be very mature coaching wise ( Pelini's short resume seems to be an exception, that fooled coach O vs his early signs of immaturity ); Coach Frost is also from an athletic and coaching family. We shouldn't underestimate the response a young energetic staff can get from recruits, with the coaching tree he has, it could even be an advantage. After Stanford, he was around N when we were perhaps the best in history in developing players on all levels - he is a winner and has a ton of drive. HCMR was a great pick and for reasons of building what we are seeing appear; so I see the wisdom -" Big Boxes ", once again rings true.
I will answer the leaving on success question. He will want to play for a title if he gets it all going somewhere. The SEC has a ton of money and ego's; though a ton of money alone won't necessarily get it done. He has the confidence to build a program; so its possible he would return to N; if we were very successful or not. I try to remember there are a lot of great coaches out there and a lot of money being spent; a tough game of variables and not all playing fair. GBR

Well said and sums it up.

I stated on record Frost is/was not ready to be the head coach at Nebraska when our job opened up. If that makes me a " critic" then so be it, I can handle the label.
