The guy fits Louisiana. And even there he wore out his welcome a season after winning a NC.
Next Head Coach
- Thread starter Husker_Insider
- Start date
He did good when Rutgers was playing weak competition week in and week out. Let's see how he does when he plays a full B1G schedule.
He fits Lincoln.
He eats crawfish, crayfish, etc. Nebraska is known as the Bugeaters. Fits.
Mickey Joseph will be the next Nebraska HC even if it's only in a interim basis. I'm all for throwing the biggest contract ever at the college level to hire Meyer even if it's a three year deal with options. I don't care about Meyer and his past baggage, I care about Nebraska football and most of it's great fans, we all deserve better.
What Frost has done in five years is almost criminal as far as Nebraska fans are concerned, he has single handedly destroyed a once blue blooded program, even Bo Pelini or Mike Riley didn't do that. I hope frost enjoys his time away from football and enjoys his family in Florida because I doubt he will stay in state and why would he want to.

when i say rutgers is the dumpster fire champ. believe me, i lived it......weak conf. it doesn't matter....he's a motivator... he took a bottom feeder and the program to annual bowl games....in 2006 a no. 12 final ranking ....this is rutgers ,,,,with **** facilities ,a hostile metro press...pro teams to compete with...no fb tradition....no administrative support,,,,.........no one wanted this job after ash was fired.......talk about a bare cupboard.........all of the above was schiano 1.0...........in this the 3rd season of schiano 2.0 you can see a big difference in the size and the toughness of his recruits,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hey do you wanna trade spots with us, if you cant compete in the big west....try the big east....we have one of the toughest schedules in the nation.
give the man time and we will be bowling every year again................and please don't fire frost before we play you guys..............pretty please
So you think that since he has turned down multiple NFL jobs that the Neb job would peak his interest? The biggest area that he would help Neb is his ability to recruit the B10 footprint, so I could see why Neb would be interested. I just don’t see any Neb appeal from his end.
I am just making the point that all coaches say they are not interested in a specific job if a coach is in place at the time they are asked.
I think his wife has been searching the real estate listings in Florida nonstop for 5 years. Nobody in that family is really sad today.
So, there is a rumor that Frost was actually notified after the NW loss that he was being fired, but was allowed to coach through this week because his mother was being honored at halftime. They indicated she was a Neb track star and an Olympian. Anyone else here get wind of something like that?
How do we feel about Kevin Wilson, currently OC at tOSU? Not looking thru the thread to see if already debated. Surrounding himself with really strong coordinators,not friends, could be his blueprint to put Nebraska in contention in the west.
Just some names to consider
1. Bill O'Brian- OC Alabama
2.Dave Doren- HC NC State
3.Lane Kiffin-HC Ole Miss
4.Dave Clawson-HC Wake Forest
5. `Chris Klieman-HC Kansas State

Maybe they should just hire Mickey as the head guy, but then just go out and spend a **** ton on good assistants. Don't go the route of 850K. Go get a real coordinator for like 2M on both sides of the ball and get the others pay big time dollars to make sure you have the best. Let MJ cut his teeth and adjust from there. Possibly an alternate solution if you can't get a big name.
What he really means is I will be calling my agent later to find out the $$ and see if I can squeeze the Wolf pack for more cash!
You read the tweet from Frost about the play calling had to be more creative. He wasn’t necessarily fired then but Basically I think a Trev knew it was only a matter of time , He had words wit Trev about forcing him to give up the play calling , but Trev was willing to wait after Indiana and the payout dropped,, but after the loss on Saturday night and Frost went after Trev again a bout putting to much pressure on the program this happened in the Locker room in front of the players . Trev got on the phone with the people he needed to end this thing now. The irony of Carol a award from the same guy that would fire her Son 12 hours later.
Exactly. His name hasn’t been mentioned anywhere that I know of. He and his agent just wanted to put that out there.
Kiffin and Kleiman are the only ones on that list I would have much interest in.

My daughter has ties at FAU and she said that he lived in the top floor of Boca Resort and Club for the year that he was coach there- and who knows what went on there. He was a 'trip" but generally well liked by others around him. Your typical alpha male - wish i could have spent a year at the Boca Resort, rich, single and ....
I'm just highly skeptical of coaches who couldn't win at places with near-unlimited talent and resources. The "glamour" schools, so to speak.
So, guys like Luke Fickell, Lane Kiffen, Tom Herman, Dan Mullen, Clay Helton...each of those guys had a chance to lead blue bloods or big time P5 schools and failed.
Fickell was an interim coach at Ohio State, but they didn't give him the job permanently. The other coaches were at USC, Texas and Florida.
If you can't win at USC, Texas and Florida, three flagship institutions located in the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country, then I highly doubt you can win at Nebraska, which is much more challenging when it comes to recruiting and developing talent.
Every situation is different, and I know there are some serious politics and other external factors as to why winning can be difficult at the "glamour" schools, but as we're seeing with the Trojans, all they need is a good coach to immediately be back in the top 10. And Texas almost beat Alabama. I watched that game, and they actually should have won it.
