I suspect he is only going to come back as the head caoch.

I kind of thought this is how it would play out but it is still disappointing. Offensively I think we'll be fine, though. Much more concerned with the defensive staff personally. I can't handle much more shaky defense.

Great news. Gonna step outside and kick the neighbors dog.

sources also said Bielema was offered the job and so was Tressel... I will wait until I see an OC named

Sadly I believe they where offered the job

Personally, I think Riley would be foolish to hire Frost. At the first sign of adversity, Nebraska fans would be clamoring for Frost to take over. That's a lot of pressure. I thought the same thing when people wanted Bo to hire Frost a few years ago.

I'm really hoping that Riley recruits to a true, pro-style offense going forward. It's a superior offense in my opinion.

I can't say that I'm all surprised Frost is not coming back.

as long as you do not like points that is accurate... all the best offenses in the nation are ran out of shotgun

Teams that run more plays have a higher winning percentage. That is what Frost would bring. Oh well. Maybe the next hire can be Frost. Riley isn't going to last long.

That's kind of what I was thinking. I also was a little nervous about another attempt at a power/spread hybrid offense. I like the concept of Frost being here but I really want an offense with an identity similar to Wisconsin's. (I know they are getting their teeth kicked in as I type )

The positive side of this is it will not be long before Frost does become a head coach and Riley isn't going to last long. During the mean time it would be cool for Frost to get some big game coaching experience. And by that I mean playoff level games calling plays. It would also be good to have been a coordinator for more than one QB so he can learn and coach up more than one guy before taking over Nebraska.

I'm willing to deal with a couple of crappy 7-5 seasons if it means we get Frost later on for a head coach.

I'm not into points, I'm into championships.

Any offense will work if you can recruit well to it. I prefer the pro-style offense because it stresses ball control. Too many schools pass on passing QBs who can distribute and move the chains. Nebraska can go get a Blake Bortles, Matt Ryan, or Joe Flacco a lot easier than it can get a Marcus Mariota or a Braxton Miller. Combine that with a big old corn-fed line and a classic Nebraska running back, we would be tough to beat.

Time will tell... But if we get a passing QB we still have to be run first line Stanford or Alabama... None of this top 30 passing offense stuff. The previous regime has recruited no offensive tackle talent and the OG's are road graders without much pass pro talent

Agree completely. You go 60% power run, 40% pass. Nothing multiple about it, you have an identity. You can run it under center, shot-gun, whatever. A lot of those prototypical NFL QBs have to go to smaller schools because many of the big schools are infatuated with these "dual threats". My only point is that Nebraska could recruit these guys while still being a power run team. Being able to move the chains on 3rd and 8 is a bonus.

I'm just putting forth my vision. If you can get one of those rare dual threats who are next level, by all means. I'm just tired of the poor QB play at Nebraska.

I suspect you wont have to worry about QB play. TA will improve or lose his position.

You mean to tell me that 18.4 QBR ratings won't fly under the new staff? Shut the front door!

Which would probably include Bo, and that's probably the root reason why things didn't work out between him & Watson, who isn't such a big dual-threat guy.

Also: I'll be utterly astounded if Armstrong is still the starter in fall, especially if Frost isn't OC. No way a head coach with a pro-style background is going to put up with passing that awful.

 

[busticket]

I foresee Johnny Stanton and Adam Taylor (assuming he comes back all the way healthy) with become our feature pieces if we go pro style. I think their tools fit that style and Taylor has the most upside of the backs on our 2015 roster IMO.

LOL. Who are you, Charlie Weis or Bill Callahan? LOL.
