What has frost done at Oregon to make anyone think he would be a good head coach?

id rather let some other school take the risk with him for his first job as HC.

he turns 56. So maybe a decade out of him.

if you hit on a really good one, be happy with 10 years.

No one can be counted on to be at a school for more than that.

Let's say your new guy wins the conference champ game 4 times and gets in the playoff 3 times.
He does that 3 times in your 10 years. One of those 4 conference champions, he wins the national championship, and another one, he gets to the finals and loses. the other one he is beat in the first round.
You happy:?
If you can't be happy with that, you are delusional.
Nebraska cannot recruit Texas anymore.
They do not play in Texas anymore.
Nebraska AD made the move to recruit for basketball in Chicago.
He GAVE UP recruiting football in Texas to get access to Illinois basketball players. your Quad cities. Your Quincy. Rockford.
Real deal basketball.
I get that Texas was controlling everything in the Tex conference.
Your list is over reaching.

No one is leaving frigging Oregon and Nike to go to Nebraska.
Oregon is recruiting the SF Bay area very nicely. They are set.

I'm not going to write a novel as a response as it is Friday night and there are playoff games to enjoy tonight and I need to eat dinner before I head out to a big playoff game, but, in short:

Coaches he had learned from or played under....

1993-1994 Bill Walsh (Stanford)
1995-1997 Tom Osborne (Nebraska)
1998-2000 Bill Parcells (New York Jets) Bill Belichick was the defensive backs coach
2001 Butch Davis (Cleveland Browns)
2001-2002 Mike Sherman (Green Bay Packers)
2003 Jon Gruden (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
2009-2012 Chip Kelly (Oregon)

Frost’s career as a player and as a coach reveals a young assistant coach with a rich background in football at all levels, coupled with exposure to some of the great coaches of his time.

Frost's older brother, Steve, told the San Francisco Chronicle in 2013. "The thing about Scott is he's got the best memory of anybody I've met. If you put him in front of a white board right now, he could draw up all the plays and protections from Bill Walsh's Stanford playbook.

In 2012, Kelly’s last year with the Ducks, Oregon averaged 49.6 points and 537.4 yards per game. A year later, the scoring dipped slightly to 45.5 points, but the Ducks improved to 565 yards per contest.

Consider the Ducks ran 1,058 plays in Kelly’s final run, and 973 in Frost’s first, a sign the team was just getting started under Frost. The Ducks jumped to 47.2 points, No. 2 in the nation, and 552.9 yards per game this year entering the national title game last season.

After 7 games into the 2015 season, Frost's Oregon offense is 6th in the nation in rushing with 297 per game. In TO's championship seasons, he would have a rushing offense that would average around 340 to 399 yards per game. Tom Herman's team is 7th in the nation in rushing.

What Coach Frost ran at Nebraska as a QB in a lot of ways is very similar to what Oregon runs right now — they are just out of the shotgun versus under center. But a lot of the concepts of the option game are the same. . . . Personally, I’d love to see Coach Frost mix a lot of the concepts that Oregon runs with some of the aspects Nebraska used to run. . . . Run a mix of the two systems with a physical style of play and nobody would stop us. This would be run out of a hurry up no huddle emphasis.

Frost has gotten experience now and it is time to stop fricken around and bring Scott Frost home and get back to Nebraska's true identity. Enough of this softy bull shite this program does these days.

Install Frost's system, recruit to it, build stability in the coaching staff and perform rep after rep after rep in practice and let's get this train rolling again. It can get done under Frost and it will get done under Frost - under the leadership of Trev Alberts as our AD.

Turner Gill?

Scott Frost will be the next coach anyways. He is kicking Cal's but tonight.

Let some other team roll the dice with him. Or maybe bring him in as an OC for next season by throwing enough money at him. I think a lot of our problems have to do with Langsdorf and now Riley although Riley has some to do with it.

Last night Scott Frost called an offense that produced 777 yards, a school record. Ran for 478 yards.

Looking forward to the day Scott Frost is the head coach at Nebraska.
