It's Frost or Bust for a lot of Husker fans and I just hope that if Frost is NOT the next head coach, there wouldn't be a lot of animosity amongst the fanbase because they didn't get their guy.

LOL! Where have you been the last 20 or so years!?!?!? :playful:

Sometimes I think this board lives for animosity! :)

My hope is that whomever is hired, we don't have a bunch of proclamations of failure before he coaches a game. I much prefer discussions based on evidence and facts over prediction.

One of my professors used to say, "To speak hypothetically is to speak too much."

It wont matter who the coach is next year. If its Riley there will be a ton of pissed off fans who will LOUDLY voice their opinion ( I will be one of them). If it is Frost some will complain, if its not some will complain. You cant make everyone happy and some one will complain no matter who the coach is.

I am not against Frost coming back to Nebraska. My biggest question is, is he ready for this stage?

Pros: 1) Grew up in Nebraska, 2) played here, 3) won a national championship, 4) is a rising star and could be a homerun hire, and 5) winning convincingly.

Cons: 1) Limited head coach experience, 2) questionable competition, and 3) ?bad relationships with former teammates?

I think Scott Frost would make an excellent head coach--eventually. But 1.5 years as a head coach? I just do not know.

On the other hand, Pelini was an experienced coordinator and failed. Callahan was a successful coach (for one season) and failed. Riley has 20+ years of experience as a head coach and is in process of failing miserably.


So...who freaking knows????

Bob Stoops was never a HC either when he took over at Oklahoma.

Stoops prior job was 3 years as DC for Florida (including an NCAA championship) working for an offensive-minded head coach.

Prior to UCF, Frost was OC at Oregon for 3 years. The difference being that Chip Kelly probably had a very large role in the offense. That isnt a disqualifier by any means, but should be considered. Of course, UCFs success is an indication in Frost’s favor.

Regarding Stoops, I’m not aware of any OU ties prior to being hired. I’m sure Sooner fans were clamoring a former OU assistant or player to pull them out of the John Blake era.

Anyway, there are success stories of hiring those with ties, and success stories of hiring outsiders. Just find the best guy...

every coach who has ever become a head coach for the first time became a head coach without being a head coach first.

Yes but they usually start out at MAC school or some other lower profile place and prove their ability first.
 
Well....well....well this takes the Cake .....it really does.


Just to kinda clear things up here,

1st.....I have no reason to apologize or feel badly about any post I have made here. There is several occasions when my Wife jumps on and posts but then again she always says it's her and not me but other than that I make no excuses for who I am and what I say.....there had been several occasions when I was in me cup so to speak that I have posted things that gave the impression that my opinion would carry any weight should NU offer Frost the Job when in fact there really isn't a thing I could do....those decisions will thankfully be made by someone else and thank God that's the truth of it.
When some people got personal that's where I draw the line....I could give two hoots in an outhouse on a hot muggy summer day what those people think about the University of Nebraska or the Huskers, or me

I seriously hope you all get what you want no matter if it's a new car from Santa or a Scott Frost as head Coach....and I hope he can undo all the bad that's happened since Pederson fired Solich ......and I am most glad I dont have to listen or care what you will all do or say should he fail.....I'm sure the reasoning will be packed full of excuses but then again I just don't care period.

My Wife and I have worked very hard to represent the School and Football team the best we could and I nor Kate are one tiny bit ashamed of the job we have done and we care very deeply about our School and the Football Program.....but there comes a time when being on here is way more trouble than it's worth. My life in the real world is busy enough trying to operate and grow our own Hunting and Fishing Guide and outfitters business really takes up 90% of what Kate and I do every day.....of every month of the year so to have any amount of bovine fecal matter from this place (that was a place of refuge) where I could visit with the fans and share a little about what being a football player from the greatest era of NEBRASKA Football history was like.

The Admin from the Board wanted me to take over for Solly when he passed away and do a blog about my observations and the changes my teammates and I have seen over the last few years and maybe put some things in a players perspective. I at first had my trepadations but through my Wife and teammates urging I said yes I would but sadly now honestly I just don't care to share period.....and frankly don't have the time or Desire to have to defend myself every stinking time I log on.

So with that said to our friends we have made and lives we have touched and those who have touched our life we bid a fond farewell.....and to the rest of you......well I have one thing to say.....if someday you happen to be passing a graveyard and you come across my Tombstone.....don't get too excited.....cause the jokes on you....I was buried face down just so when you walked by you could kiss my Arse....


Go Big Red.....

"Why Johnny Ringo......you look like.....somebody just walked over your grave"

Farewell BHF board,

Doc Holiday and Big Nose Kate.

Don't give up too easy Doc. I really enjoy your insight, wisdom and humor. Passions run deep for most when it comes to our beloved huskers. Sometimes that passion turns ugly when we turn on each other. I really hope you decide to stay and make the rest of our lives a little better here, but if you don't, please keep bleeding husker red and stay involved in your own way to make Husker athletics better.

putting on pads or not in college doesn't mean jack. Mike Leach never played football,at any level... Nor does playing at the D1 level make you somehow more knowledgeable than everyone else.

I don't know about that 2000. It might not be the only criteria that helps evaluate situations, but imo it is a resource that shouldn't be ignored. The ten mile high view that most of us have shouldn't be ignored either, but sometimes the foot soldier has insight that not even the generals appreciate.
 
OK, enough is enough. Our guide lines specifically say no personal attacks on other members. Doc gave his personal opinion on a subject, but did not attack any other specific members of the board. I made a vow not to crack down on discussions as hard as we have in the past, but this kind of crap is what drives members away.

So you have had your warning, if there are any more personal attacks, you will take a vacation.

Cornstar, I am calling you out in particular.

Good points.... and examples. But I still think experience can give insight that can be lost without it. NOW there are multiple ways to gain access to this info......eg hire assistants that provide it, listen to ex-players, etc etc, but a good leader without this experience would be wise to seek it somewhere imo.

Can a player who becomes a coach get caught up in the minutia of past experiences......without a doubt, but I still feel access to front line experience should not be ignored.

Knowledge doesn't always come with first hand experience. I think of Howard Cosell......he wouldn't have lasted one minute with the fighters.....or football players .......he critiqued, but he knew his stuff.

Well, having plenty of knowledge doesn't automatically make you tough enough to play, that is true.. I took the comment to mean overall knowledge, not being tough enough.

Those examples clearly show playing D1 doesn't matter when it comes to knowing the game of football.
