Continuing the heritage is important. Frank Solich should never have been fired after a 9-2 season.

Ask him his price....then put another $500G on top of that! He should have been the hire 3 years ago.

Coach Frost is the only choice for the next head coach for the Big Red. Give him the time he needs and the support from the fans that he truly deserves. Live in Tennessee - LOVE NEBRASKA

Frost is a native, understands the culture, realizes if you can't run, you can't win. A good run offense is a GREAT defense.

I think not only would he hit it out of the park from a results stand point, he is only 42 and the only candidate that would probably make NU his last HC job. I would definitely take 25 + yrs of SF!! GBR!!

The decision to hire Frost should come from the power of Big Red fans. If Scott is willing to come home... it is the A.D.'s job to not mess this up. Firing Riley was an easy decision. Hiring Frost is a No-Brainer!!

Home grown. Known quantity and quality. Key mentee of Tom Osborne and would be wise to seek advise. Fully aware of the game. Still has a lot of energy. He will bring NU back to the national forefront and make the climb fun.

Scott has a lot of similar characteristics as the most successful Husker coach, Tom O. All we need to do as fans is exercise some patience. NU will rise again.

As Nebraska fans, we need to back off this topic until Saturday night. UCF has done something special this season and those kids need not be distracted in what will be the most important game in nearly all of their careers. They and Coach Frost deserve that we all chill for a few more days.

I'd like a coach that can inspire, teach and motivate. The Husker teams of the last 10 years or so seem to lack any enthusiasm or will to win. Pelini was an embarrassing maniac on the sideline and Riley had zero emotion or fire. Something in the middle would be nice.

Scott Frost is the coach Nebraska needs to get the football program back on its feet again. They need to give him time to implement his style of offense and to get the defense back to being blackshirts.

He is a hometown coach who remembers and lives the actions of a prior legendary husker football coach. Coach Frost will be given as much time as he needs to fill his roster and bring back the tradition on both sides of the ball.

I think over time it's proven that this position needs to have a leader that understands work ethic and our history - no better way to get that done than with not only a previously player but one from a team that brought us our last national championship and the commitment it takes to get there.

This is the best coaching fit in the last 20 years. We can't afford another 20 years of the coaching carousel and failed coaching and offensive scheme experiments. Bring Frost back, resurrect a true bone-crushing Black-Shirt defense and smash-mouth run-pass-option offense like the old days. GBR!

Scott Frost is a winner and understands exactly what it takes to get Nebraska back to playing physical Nebraska football. His record speaks for itself: at Nebraska, the NFL, at Northern Iowa, Oregon and at UCF. Tired of clueless Athletic Directors picking coaches who field finesse teams.

I believe Scott can be very successful, but we have to keep our expectations realistic. It may take 3 to 4 years to build the roster to fit the new schemes.

We need a coach that has ties to the Osborne Era. Someone that believes in the program. Someone that believes in the program. Plus you cant argue with the quick turnaround sucess he has had at UCF. I like the occasional option in his offense as well

Besides the Husker ties he seems to be the best coach available when it comes to fit, culture, and brining the fan base together. There will always be some people not happy about it and no guarantees he can do what needs to be done but overall would make a great hire.

Scott is a good coach, but people forget he had a slow start when he first came to Nebraska. At UCF he inherited those players, he really doesn't have a complete resume. I would prefer a Les Miles who could bring back the Black Shirts. Scott will be around for years.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Reply

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
