Frost just strikes me as Kliff Kingsbury 2.0. He's only in his 6th season as an FBS-level assistant coach.

I think Schiano is sort of a tool, but I think he'll be a good hire for whoever gets him, especially if it's a program in the Big Ten.

I would be shocked if any school took McElwain this year. Supposedly, he has a huge buyout.

I've read that the buyout is 7.5 million.

I can't see Narduzzi getting a job at a top program. He has no head coaching experience, and I think most top programs have been burned enough not to take that chance (Florida, most recently).

Narduzzi will probably have to prove himself at a lower lever school first.

I think someone will take a chance on Narduzzi at some point, unless he has a gentleman's agreement that he'll be Dantonio's successor at MSU.

Who knows, though. Some of these coordinators can hold out too long and fall off the map. Remember when guys like Bud Foster and Brent Venables were mentioned for job openings all the time? Now no one talks about them, though Venables' stock is up a bit after this year.

I'm still not sold on him. 68-67 at Rutgers which is admirable but I think his 11-2 season with Ray Rice was perhaps an anomaly. I've been wrong before though

Yes, he can. It's the health issues that concern me.

This current list disappoints me. None of these guys are what I'd consider a "slam-dunk" hire, which is what Nebraska desperately needs.

Finally, someone who sees what I see although I believe he will be a good coach one day. Was actually surprised to see a post saying Nebraska would be back.....

He has been an OC for 2 years now and made improvements over last year. He still isn't ready to be a head coach. He needs to perfect that job first.

I want to see him coach another QB besides Mariota. He isn't responsible for everything on the offense at Oregon. He is just a small part of it and isn't even great at his part yet.

He also won 9 games twice and 8 games another two times, and he's 5-1 in bowl games. Plus, Rutgers has a terrible recruiting footprint and was an absolute dumpster fire when he got there. Before he got there, they'd only gone to 1 bowl game in their entire history and that was when Jimmy Carter was president -- he took them to 6.

He's a tool, but what he did at Rutgers was extremely impressive.

Feel like Schiano could be a solid hire there. Guy was solid at Rutgers and can recruit Florida, which Nebraska badly needs.

Agreed. I figured after Kingsbury, people would shy away from young coordinators who had relatively little experience at the FBS level and were thrust onto the scene by a Heisman caliber quarterback.

I'm not saying Frost would be a terrible hire or won't be good in the long term, but if I'm Nebraska, I'd be leery of taking that chance after canning a coach who never won fewer than 9 games.

Got to remember that when he took over Rutgers they were bar none the worst "big" school program in the country. Nobody else was even close.

1990 : 3-8
1991 : 3-8
1992 : 7-4
1993 : 4-7
1994 : 5-5-1
1995 : 4-7
1996 : 2-9
1997 : 0-11
1998 : 5-6
1999 : 1-10
2000 : 3-8

Schiano
2001 : 2-9
2002 : 1-11
2003 : 5-7
2004 : 4-7
2005 : 7-5
2006 : 11-2
2007 : 8-5
2008 : 8-5
2009 : 9-4
2010 : 4-8
2011 : 9-4

Once he got things turned around they averaged 8-9 wins a year. At Rutgers. The only other time that happened in program history was 1976-1980.

I'm thinking that Nebraska suits are going to take a gamble on a young Frost, and hope that it'll all work out like Tom Osborne did... he'll be accepted by the fan base because he's a Nebraska boy and won a NC there. Still, it's a HUGE risk and I don't think Frost is ready for it just yet. Heck, back when Pelini was hired they considered Turner Gill, who at least had HC experience (at Buffalo) but they thought he wasn't ready. We all saw what happened to Gill at Kansas.
