Things are really getting out of hand. Apparently Larry Frost had a heated phone exchange with the UCF AD over whether or not Scott would be released from his current contract
Shatel says SF is coming home
- Thread starter Red Storm Rising
- Start date
I really don't believe there is a Plan B, that's how confident I am that Frost is THE next HC at Nebraska. There is simply no way that the Chancellor and and AD speak as glowingly as they have about only one guy if they don't have the deal wrapped up. They could have tempered the frenzy that has been built up around Scott at any time. They've done the opposite. I think they are confident that Scott wants to be here and that they have the money to pay him and his assistants what he wants. Sometimes things are as they seem.
... exasperated and getting nowhere, Larry said here you can talk to my wife Carol
UCF AD reportedly tole her
Look, I got Chip Kelly in my office right now. Would you like chip to go to Lincoln? Here, I'll let you talk to him.

I get it I really do.....what I am saying is just the opinions I have heard expressed by ranchers at the local spit, whittle and lie coffee shop or those people who have called me to voice their opinion......some even think Like telling me their problems means I am going to pass it on or relay it to the Administration.....look I know all 3 men involved now and have met all 3 and been part of a one such group out of several groups that were called and asked for their ideas and opinions but that's as far as it's gone.....we all gave our honest heart felt opinions and that was it.....there was no question and answer session and I was just as big of a dumb donkeys rear when I walked out as I was when I walked in so that's all I know.
To say or imply that I have any real clue as to what is what and who is who would be a huge like that I just won't tell.

Again I refuse to get all worked up till the deed is done....True I will get a call letting me know about it maybe a little quicker than you and the media when it becomes official but that's it and even then it's just because of Kate's connections in just the right places with just the right Women friends still working for the University.

One last thought on Scott Frost.....as I have said there is no love lost between him and several of his other teammates but to a man none of us will stand in his way if indeed he comes home and does this the right way......there is nothing he can ask of us we won't do for him where the Football program is concerned and he dang well knows it too.....a lack of peer support is one thing he will never have to stress over......
One thing is for certain if he fails it will not be because of a lack of him trying or having sand enough to walk his path.....if there is a tougher person trying to mold his Alma Matter back into shape I have no clue who it is.....give him the money, tools, and resources he needs and then the freedom to hire the guys he has faith in to do the jobs that so desperately need doing.....the sky is truly the limit .
I have a VERY STRONG feeling he is going to prove to the world that Tom Osborne was a true visionary and his type of Football is every bit as great today as it was in the 90's.

Only four posts and making friends already--what a nice addition to the board
What? His posts can be difficult to read. I'm not sure why you've taken such offense.
His posts are not difficult to read. I've found a complete thought between each sequence of periods or dots if you prefer. I've encountered other posters on message boards whose brains or fingers work that same way. No reason to turn into the grammar police over something so minor. Doc has great knowledge and oftentimes says what I am thinking but words it so much better than I possibly could. Lighten up already!
Man, I hope this guy is right as well.... If it falls through, though, and after thinking about it more, I would take Campbell from ISU. He has already proven he can win games against top 5 teams.
Of course Stoops would be my top Frost replacement/equal.
You're referring to the HuskerMax thread I take it... And the "Lars" guy on Twitter...

And it looks like Chip is leaning west to UCLA. Damn this could get very interesting.
I dont think the money will matter all that much. I think it will be the fact he gets to come home to his "dream job". If it was 4 or 5 million more then it might make a difference but we arent talking that big of a jump. I think its more than money to him kind of like it was for Osborn. And I am sure that over the years he and TO along with several of the other coaches he has as mentors have talked about the intangibles a job has other than money.
Plus the cost of living is much higher in Gainsville than Lincoln. 6 mill per year in Lincoln is equivalent to 11.325 mill in Florida. 8 mill in Gainsville would put a strain on his quality of life.
The threat of hurricanes is an issue, and you don't get all 4 seasons in Florida.
In Nebraska you can send your kids outside to play in the back yard. In Florida you have to be concerned with alligators or non-indigenous pythons dragging your children into the swamp never to be seen again. In Nebraska your neighbors are "Nebraska nice"...in Florida your neighbor will be a retired New Yorker yelling at your kids to get off the lawn.
It's a no-brainer when you think about it. Welcome home Scott Frost. There is no place like Nebraska!
$8MM for Frost is an overspend. Florida is getting desperate. Kinda like Pederson in 2003, or whenever that happened.
I've seen it posted several times that Frost has turned Florida on multiple occasions.
Bottom line, I think, is that none of us know what is really going on. This is all conjecture and speculation and a mighty interesting way to spend that time while waiting to see what will happen with NU coaching changes.

Honestly I'll be shocked if Frost takes the Florida deal. He's worth$5 to $6 maybe $7 mill. Not $8mill....yet. If Nebraska is truly his dream job, the money won't matter. Come home Scott!
