Re: Scott Frost might have made the wrong move

I believe Nebraska is in better shape and in a better recruiting area than Minnesota was when Fleck took over there.
It's in a much better situation than what Baylor had when they hired their new coach most recently.
I realize those two teams are not on par with the truly elite teams, but to say Nebraska is too far gone for Frost is either not true or is an indictment on Frost.

He was loved and was THE MAN at UCF. I bet down on in there somewhere he wishes he could go back and do that deal over and stay a Knight.

Fleck's advantage was that he was already a known and well liked coach in the northern, deep-fried cheese states that like ice fishing. He was already entrenched in the recruiting circles so a faster turn-around is a bit easier. Rhule & Baylor are in a hotbed of recruits with recent memories of Baylor "greatness". Again, likely had a decent stock combined with local easier offers.
Frost just has a higher mountain to climb, particularly with expectations. No recruit has a living memory of Nebraska being a football power, yet that is likely what the booster think of Nebraska.
For Frost, if he is successful, it will be playing the long "grind" rebuilding. If not, well Nebraska will spend another 30+ years in the woods or become the next Pitt.

Frost must extend recruiting territory but not easily done.

Midwest and Texas are opportunities but competition tough. Need players plus total program plus FB coaching ... missing any aspect and not likely Top 25. Frost does not have the athletes.

I just don’t think Scott Frost is that good.

I think his reputation (and ego) got inflated by the UCF wins.
But we have seen that just about any decent coach can win a lot of games there. He just happened to catch some magic one year and win them all.
Heupel almost did it there last year.
Not sold at all on Frost. I think Nebraska is the one who may have made the wrong move, but I don’t really blame them for taking the chance.

Nebraska does not have a lot of "home grown" talent, hence, they have to recruit far and wide. Maybe Frost has not learned he must recruit outside the home territory. Since Nebraska's program has been down, it does not have the appeal it once had as a power house. I thought Frost would get things turned around but it appears it's a tougher task than most of us realized.

Nebraska’s formula for success in the 70’s and 80’s was redshirt midwestern lineman, a weight and strength training program that was unequalled (steroids?), juco RBs that might have trouble getting in elsewhere, and the occasional blue chip in recruiting. This was combined with a powderpuff conference where the only other team with a pulse was Oklahoma. So win ONE big game a year and you are in the National discussion.
That formula no longer exists.

Well, I like Frost and think he's going to be a great coach at NE. But he did skip on Joe Burrow when Joe was in the transfer portal, and he took the other QB. That has to haunt him a little.

Agreed, I think Frost is a class act. I think Neb. has an administration problem like a lot of schools have. I hope it loosens up or at a minimum, doesn't follow Frost for life.

need, and win like they used to, playing in the Big Ten, especially in a Western division that offers little to no sizzle for recruits per their schedule.
IMO they will continue to wallow, with occasional okay seasons, until they reconnect with their more natural Big 12 rivals and recruiting footprint.

Disagree wholeheartedly. I’ve seen that fan base. They’re engaged and love that program. To say he made a mistake is purely an opinion. He’s home, happy, making millions, coaching HIS team, and has the full support of the school and fan base. That’s more than a LOT of coaches can say.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And who knows, he may make something of it. Give him more time. He’s certainly trending in the right direction.
