Frost was FAR from a slam dunk hire, as a matter of fact it was a very last minute decision by SF. He almost stayed at UCF and needed some assurance from many people that certain things would happen and so far some of those things have not happened. NU was not SF's dream job and actually told Moos no at the first meeting they had.
Moos getting Frost hired told me what kind of AD Moos is. He had to work hard and needed some help to get SF to come to Lincoln. NU better start keeping their word on some of these assurances they did make to SF or we may not see him on our sidelines after his contract is up - FACT !!!!

I get all that- but once we got him, you were already way ahead of the game given Scott being an alum and his proven success,
A men's BB hire that makes Nebraska national caliber will be a steeper hill.
Honest and trustworthy people seem to be harder to find now days. Since you're privey to this information, will administration or whoever is involved own up to these assurances? And are the request made by Frost reasonable?
Very reasonable and in the plans when SF was hired. I do think they will be met just not as quickly as first implied. They were not SFs requests but part of the selling points that finished the deal.
Ah, red tape. Slows everything down. Obviously I have no idea what and how, but just experience in industry is everything takes longer than initial timelines.
Under the right circumstances, yes. The role that Matt plays and will play in the future was pretty important though.
I would like to get in contact with Steve Pederson on this subject of hiring/firing a coach and get his input on the next hire. What to look for in a candidate i.e. traits, background, track record, history, etc. And then take what he says and do the exact opposite. Should work great on a slam dunk hire.
According to Markowski who talks with Lue, Lue has very little interest in NU for the reasons Chris said earlier.
"Tim Miles is a friend."
He also said and I quote
"What they didn’t understand is that the evolution of Nebraska volleyball was slow and deliberate. There were no quick fixes."
Not exactly true Terry. You started as a head coach in 1977 and NU was good from the start.
Prior to that was Pat Sullivan, who coached in 75-76. I guess you could call that the "down" years.

MilES HAS HAD SEVEN YEARS AND IS BELOW .500 AND HASNT DONE SQUAT IN THE POST SEASON. How much more time does it take? Hell, I saw Kansas State was ranked 17th with a record of 21-7 in last nights loss to Kansas. Sure they lost, but the fact that they are locked in the tourni and 21-7 is saying something. Kansas State.....wheres their recruiting base? Tradition? Facilities? We beat them in all areas. Last time we were ranked 17th and 21-7 was 1991 with Coach Nee. Enough is enough....Im running out of time. Im 48 years old. Ive seen a football national title..three of them..now i want to see a NCAA tourni win
Agreed and KSU has to battle instate rival KU for recruits. 7 years is long enough. We need an aggressive and dynamic coach who can recruit like heck. That's what it's going to take to take NU to the next level.
