Not at all surprising. Maybe they become relevant again?

Frost to coach Huskers per ESPN
- Thread starter YourCrimsonNightmare
- Start date
I doubt they do. He had access to much better players in Florida. He should have stayed there and pursued the Florida State job. Nebraska is the new Iowa.
I understand about "going home," and maybe NU is Frost's dream job, but I think even though FSU is a bit down right now, it has a stronger recruiting advantage and in a better position to rebound quicker than Nebraska. Anyway, I wish him success at resurrecting the Husker program.
Teams that have always been top tier seem to reinvent themselves and regain at least part of their past glory after years of suffering with inferiority.
As with the Sooners, USC, Ohio State, Penn State...

Nope he should have stayed put in Florida. The Huskers should have remained in the Big 12 also....they are a dumpster blaze in the gas tank farm.
STOP THE PRESS...Cold Feet...Remorse....Deal Just Got 'IFFY'...

Just remember the John Blake and Howard Schnellenberger years. It happens. If Bo could have held his temper he might have been alright. Mike Riley was as nice as you could find but we had to be the softest team in football last year. We're going to be back.
Wish them cornholes never left
Big XII screwed up from the beginning. OU-Neb game got forgotten for the "four" newcomers... Eff them all in their necks...
Me too. The problem was the divisions in the 12. The North really got crewed on the number of prime games.
Wish we wouldn't have left also but the money was too great and Texas was running the show.
Texsa greed drives a world in need (or something like that)
Re: debbie; if they can't win/rule the cottony soft b1g west in 2 years there is NO hope for them to become relevant again. The only threat is from Wisconsin regularly and we saw how that went.

Nebby can't compete with Wisconsin or Iowa right now. There aren't very many high school kids in the school that I teach at that were even born the last time Nebby won a conference championship.
veritas59 said, "Nebraska is the new Iowa." I beg to diffuh, suh. More like the new Idaho State. They should never have left the Big 12. The once coveted Texas high schoolers have no idea who Frost or Nebraska is.
Yeah most kids in school now have seen lowly iowa whip Nebby 4 of the last 5 in the conference finale of the b1g west "Heroes" game. (Debbie leads the series 29-16-3 overall, starting in 1891 with substantial breaks due to former conference ties)
The damage to Nebraska's program won't be fixed for several years, if ever.
Unlike Bob Stoops, who inherited a good nucleus of players after the 1998 season and who had OU with a good presence in the neighboring state of Texas, Frost inherits a "dark hole" both in geographic terms and in the program's loss of elite team relevance. Recruiting for Nebraska in a state north of Kansas and west of Iowa looks to be a hard sell, especially playing in the weaker division of the Big 10 Conference, in all fairness to Wisconsin and Iowa.
Most of Nebraska's current team were not even wet dreams the last time Nebraska won a championship and like most youngsters today, they view history as non-existent. If it didn't happen in their lifetimes, it didn't happen. (Tom who ???).
The 2018 Nebraska schedule has OOC games with Akron, Colorado and Troy....all at home....but must travel to Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Iowa. Success won't be in the team's immediate future, that's for sure.
A once great and storied program, with a great fan base, now has to find a way out of a very deep hole.

CT pretty much gets it. One Nebraska regent saw all this coming. But I never read how he actually voted. Was the vote unanimous to jump to the BIG?
A '50s Husker OL once told me how he and his team mates went into the OU game wondering how many points they would lose by. A Cong sniper finished off the Neb lineman. Died way too soon. He's a real hero to me. I can never spit in his face. I stand for the National Anthem.

Come on now, let's not get carried away. I remember you all booing him when he was QB. I bet he can't wait to get boo'ed again.

The Frost hiring I believe was Nebraka’s best hope for resurrection. My only question: has it come too late ?
Huskers suffer from long period of irrelevance. The recruiting will be tough for Frost...who appears to be a solid guy and a decent coach. Florida is certainly a cushier state to recruit in than Nebraska...not too many would want to dive into a program that wobbly in the middle of corn land. They should have stuck to Big 12 where at least there is a pronounced Texas recruiting channel.
I will be there in Abe Lincoln along with you when the Sooners come calling in the future and hope that the kid can resurrect the program to enough prominence that they are competing with the b1g Least for titles eventually.
Living in Nebraska, it's kind of fun having them be non competitive.
I'm betting you like seeing the Hawkeyes lose as much as I like to see Nubby lose. I loved it when they lost to Northern Illinois. Couldn't wait to ask people how in the heck do you lose to Northern Illinois. I flat out can't stand Nebraska fans, especially the fans that live in eastern Nebraska.
Coach Frost, how about you extend an offer to Mike Stoops, for your DC? He has a lot of experience and some think he could be good away from from the BigXII. Just don't look at his PAC or BigXII, resume.
Too bad so sad Huskers. You could have stuck around...but noooooo. You faded to irrelevance in a piss poor division. Wisconsin and Iowa dominate you. Frosty is maybe the answer...but a whole overhaul means 2-3 years for turn around...
What they did to themselves and Solich was comical and criminal, so to speak...
Frost brought his entire coaching staff over from UCF. It will be interesting to see how he does in the Big 10 compared to USA conference. Of course this won’t be the Nebraska of old this will be a high paced gun slinging version. Which will be a whole lot different then what the majority of the big 10 plays.
Excellent point. The next couple of years are going to be really interesting.
Scott Frost at Nebraska and Chad Morris at Arkansas. Are these guys going to change the face of their conferences? People seem to forget that the Big XII had the best defenses before this Mike Leach guy came along and turned us on our heads. Even BIG and SEC models are going to be subject to change.
There are more 4-5* recruits then can start at all of the big programs. Recruiting the talent to win won't be an issue at a place like Nebraska just because their state doesn't produce talent. The world is only getting smaller through technology and travel costs. What was once a scary world to move out of state at 18 no longer is.
Rivals shows like 65 4/5* recruits for 2018. 65 x 4yrs / Top25 teams = ~ 10 players per Top25 team at any given time. Fill the roster in with 3* players, and you've got the talent to compete assuming the coaching is there.
I think you’re going to be surprised with what happens. We are getting a lot of top talent coming in for official visits. He did something at UCF no one in the history of college football was able too do. Take a winless team and in two years go undefeated.
We play a brutal schedule next season. Don’t believe me? Go look. It’s nasty. But if we can reach a bowl. We will be set. Because after that our schedule gets a lot easier. Don’t count us out. Look what happened to Oregon when he left. Look what happened at UCF when he arrived. He has coached under the brightest minds. Played under the greatest coaches. It’s just a matter of time before this sleeping giant wakes up.
I hope you can beat iowa 2 of the next 3; do that & we shall see...
You seriously believe what you wrote? The demise of Nebraska started the day TO retired and continued to get worse with each bad coaching hire we made. It had nothing to do with leaving the Big 12 or Texas recruits, Texas can't win with Texas recruits. As for the BIG 10 west, are you trying to say the Big 12 north was better? Thats a laugh. Like I said in the beginning, it was all about the inability to replace TO.
Do you mean the same Tom Osborne who hired Bo Pelini? The same TO who refused to comment on the hiring of Scott Frost? You all should just swallow your pride, come back to the Big XII and be happy losing in the conference championship game. But to get there, you'll need to get better than ISU, TCU, Texas, TT, KSU, WV, Okie St, OU. Um never mind. Your chances are better in the Big 10.
