Honestly, play Ohio State like Michigan and I think they'll announce Frost returning, regardless of what people think.
I don't think so.
Nebraska could absolutely play Ohio State close. But I think officially being eliminated from qualifying for a bowl game is all that is needed at this point to let Frost go.
I would prefer they did it after the Ohio State game and not at the end of they year because A) It's a bye week B) In this day and age you have to start early on coach searches because of early signing day. C) There are already premier jobs out there so you can't really wait around.
In no way do I think Nebraska is on the level of job as USC and LSU. But those guys are going to hire someone from a school Nebraska is on the same level as and will be competing with them for someone.
