The administration seems hell bent on pushing that team to mediocrity. USC is the best job in the PAC-12, and it's not close.

Nebraska is a great place, but relying on what worked 20 - 30 years ago is killing that program. I remember going on my visit, they were the first to use field turf in their facilities, plus they were years ahead of other schools with their nutrition and exercise physiology programs.

I think of things in the long-term but Washington and Oregon are the two best jobs, imo.

Nebraska is in a rut, some of it not its own doing.

Michigan's best days is behind them.

CFB will be a regional sport in a generation or two.

They've had a lot of different faces running the program since Osborne. They even tried to hire Osborne back as part of the leadership to try and resuscitate the patient. They've tried the power approach and they've tried all kinds of spread principles. What they haven't done is recruit like an elite.

My only personal observation from afar is that its getting impossible to recruit the Southeastern players to these more northern terrains. It's not just Nebraska, a lot of B1G teams can't pillage-the-village like days of yesteryear.

Frost will just have to do it with great coaching. He had better keep Tom Osborne on speed dial.
