If Frost loses AGAIN this year isn't it already burning at that point? Cockeyes State can hire a coach and pull themselves out of the of bottom of their conference but Nebraska can't? Indiana can become relevant but Nebraska could never be relevant again? #CoachingMatters
Nebraska has a bunch of money and support, will have a brand new shiny athletic facility to recruit to, the B1G conference (I don't enjoy it but it's a Power 5 revenue generator), and low expectations to win big right away. Seems like a pretty attractive job to me. Until that support (money) goes away Nebraska has advantages a lot of other places don't have.
Could you get Matt Campbell? Maybe, maybe not. I don't think it's insane to think that you could. Money talks and Nebraska has a lot of it. Could you get Billy Napier? I'd say yes. (depending what SEC jobs open) Billy Napier coming from the Nick Saban and Dabo Sweeney coaching tree has appeal and fans could get behind that. If it did go south and we hired Billy Napier it would not have the feeling that the program has ended. There's other names sure, I'm just throwing out the first two I thought of.
Nebraska isn’t Cockeye St or Indiana where football is irrelevant & goes unnoticed. Cockeye St is benefitting from playing in the Big12 which other than OU is not a very good conference. Even OU has been far away from dominating (seems they lose focus once a year losing to someone they have no business losing to bc the conference is very mediocre overall)
Indiana seems to have just gotten lucky. I thought they had a good coach in Kevin Wilson & had Allen on staff as DC for 1 season before Wilson resigned out of the blue. Allen turns out elevated Indiana even further
Doubtful Nebraska would ever be as patient as they were with Wilson & doubtful they would elevate a guy from an existing staff who wasn’t already knocking it out of the park.
Those places have the benefit of football being pretty obscure until they actually do something on the field & even then not many care
Frost has made mistakes but I’d like to see what he’s been trying to build thru. Sadly an injury to Adrian pretty much ends us this yr. I wish they wouldn’t have screwed over Vedral in 2019 to keep Luke happy. We’d have had probably made a bowl game in 19 if they just started Vedral & stuck with him after Martinez’s injury & I’d feel pretty good about our QB depth with a guy in his 5th year in Frosts system backing up Adrian
