    It's also important to point out that he chose to tear the Nebraska program down to its foundation and rebuild. As such, time is needed to give coaches a fair chance to prove they can develop the players they are given.

    there, there it is, the 'he just needs more tim to get his guys in there'

    That doesn’t work unless you are bringing in substantially better players, which Nebraska is not doing. They haven’t had talent since Pelini. It sure doesn’t seem like it’s getting any better with Frost.

    I was told Nebraska is still a Tier 1 program and I was a complete IDIOT and prisoner of the moment for daring to say they have lost that status.

    Time for @Dennis_DeYoung to stop living in the past!

    Exhibit 20078 on why coaching searches are a crap shoot

    Frost was a no brainer solid lock to make his old school great again. Like Harbaugh at Michigan

    Or not

    It is the main reason I don't freak out about Jimmy. He could suck or he could be great but the search or lack of and the experience of being a head coach or not is all meaningless

    Win or get the fuck out

    There is not one coach outside of Urban Meyer, that can revive Nebraska from the dead.

    They were dead before Bob Devaney. Even Jim Owens could beat them.

    They just need a coach. They are in no worse of a place than Oklahoma or the other B1G Midwestern dreck

    The path to the west division title is an easy one

    They have a state in between them and any major recruiting hot bed. Oklahoma has Texas as a neighbor.

    This. It's the reason I used to laff at Auburn Doog about "Iron Laws". Colorado won with McCartney keeping his promises, but had to find 90% of his talent in Texas & Orange County. Iron Laws included some obscure concept that if your school is in the middle of an urban jungle, you should be better because recruits!

    Oklahoma and Nebraska did just fine finding recruits wherever they needed to find them.

    With some more immediately dangerous than others once that happens.

    I always laff when I see this written.

    Nebraska is still a big name in college football with an enviable pedigree. You get the right guy in there who starts punching above his weight relative to his talent at a given time, and then recruiting starts to get easier.

    As long as it's been, no recruit is going to say, "Nebraska? That's a football school?"

    The history is there for anyone to see who's looking.

    It’s very strange but I can’t imagine them being good again. A great coach can win anywhere, but their recruiting base is horrible. They need to have a monopoly on their state, Iowa, Colorado, etc, but they don’t. They get shitty players from that area and plan D’s from Florida, Texas, and California.

    Nebraska traded on its name for far too long. Lincoln is a shit footprint, and hay-bucking fat kids ain’t what they used to be, except perhaps the ones in Wisconsin.

    Even at podunk UCF, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting 10 dudes with 4.4 speed. Hence 0-12 to 13-0 in a couple seasons.

    Frosty is in hell, and is maybe better than that job.

    Peterman could do for Nebraska what he did for Washington. He would just hate every minute of it.
