I don't care what sportswriters who quit football in 8th grade classify as "blue chippers"


Madison is a superior college town, Lincoln is the pathway to hell in the Amityville Horror basement


but please, continue to be hard headed

Frost may not be the answer, but I’m not sure who would be. Nebraska won’t ever be a consistently good team, IMO.


Truthfully when Nebraska left the Big 12 they separated from OU on a permanent basis and lost a lot of their identity. Unlikely they recover because they are geographical step child.

This is a great point. They are an absolute misfit in the Big10.

Aggregate recruiting rankings are very accurate

If this is the rationale of thinking Auburn is 10 years removed from a west title, Texas is 13 from the big 12, Tennessee is 15 from the east, Penn state hasn't won the big in 10+ years and usc is 10+ years from whatever divison in the pac 10 they were in. Are these programs just forever doormats and the only schools that will ever be good again are georgia, bama, Clemson and osu? Everyone besides those 4 plus maybe oklahoma and notre dame are years removed from any significant post season success that an 18 year old would remember.

It's Nebraska. But also he is a bad football coach.


True, on both points. But, it is interesting to remember that he did take UCF from 0-12 to 13-0 in just two seasons.

I'm almost of the opinion that it's more Nebraska than him.

a job at Nebraska? If he had this record as a lawyer, physician, fundraiser, pharmacist, accountant, sales person, assembly line worker, ditch digger, etc…. he’d be out of work. Do the power brokers at Nebraska still really think that Frost is the answer?


I think you forgot "undertaker."

Today, Northwestern is my favorite team.

Frost is gone in October when his buyout drops.

My bro-in-law is a nebs alum. I've called the police to make a welfare check.

They fired Frank Solich who was 58-19 at Nebraska with 1 conference championship, 3 division championships and national title appearance

They’ve been downhill since.

I thin saying he still has a job is probably a little premature.

Tom Osborne was probably the actual greatest coach of the 20th century because of what he accomplished there


Osbourne was the Nick Saban of the 80s and 90s. His predecessor Solich was a good coach and could have kept them relevant but they fired him basically because he wasn’t Osbourne good.

Whenever Saban retires it’ll be interesting to see what happens to Alabama. I bet they do the same thing because nobody will be Saban. But Alabama can get recruits

Bama already been there before Saban.

NU never hiring Urban Meyer is a huge what if.

Nebraska had top 20 recruiting classes 4 of last 5 years.

There is no excuse for what’s going on there to have top 20 talent and can’t win 9 games in that shite division

I've heard this bandied about before. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, but I'm not sure I agree.
Seems just as relevant to me that Nebraska lost their identity when option football died, not necessarily when they seperated from OU.
