Ok, so something I think has been overlooked as our situation with Frost has changed....as little as 48 or 72 hours ago, we'd have given our left nut plus whatever goof troop of assistants he wanted to bring along as the price it took to secure his signature on a contract.

Now that it looks imminent that Frost will be the HC....we're seeing alot more reversion to....man his staff didn't do so well at that....maybe he should get someone else with all this new money he's getting.

I think the major point that's being overlooked.....Scott seems to be a man of his word and he's spent the whole last season basically saying "its not about me, its about the assistants".

I'm not sure what Husker nation expects, but when Scott gets $4 million for assistant pool or whatever its going to be...it seems far and away most likely that all of a sudden Chinander gets a huge payday rather than we bring in Randy Shannon and Orgeron and whatever sort of "all star" cast folks have hopes and dreams on.

The numbers seem to tell us that coaching transitions retain generally 1-2 holdovers, and the vast majority of coaches who are "new" have some sort of background with the new HC. Which means that Husker nation is probably going to get a majority of the UCF staff with shiny new paychecks, unless they wish to stay at home for some reason.

I know Frost's DB coach is a UCF grad, he may stick around, Walters may get a HC job, Chinander maybe as well. But if for some reason they all want a shot at NU.... I don't really Scott being the kind of guy that says "well I went on TV multiple times and talked about how important rising your boat was, but I'm moving on without you" to all of these guys.

One additional point.

It may work out that KDub and DW are the "all star" part of the staff. Those two names are going to get plenty of play at all the big schools that are hiring this year (A&M, FSU, UF, etc) so it seems somewhat more likely to me that the "nationally known" part of the Frost staff will be one or both of them, rather than an "out of the blue" Randy Shannon or Kevin Steele hire.
