Not defending Frost by any means....

But, it seems like a head coach would always make the final call, or at least rubber stamp, an onside kick call.

I doubt any OC has carte blanche on that type of call.
Right, that since he wasn't calling the plays, he felt the itch to DO something, so he called the onside kick

Understood.  

That definitely screams of insecurity, and not willing to leave well enough alone.  And if that's the case, he seems well on his way to a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I believe both Tom Herman and Charlie Strong are available, immediately.

The Husker players of course are not somehow immune in all of this, they hear the talk (duh), and I wonder how it may impact their game prep and psyche.  Could they lose one of the next two?  It's not beyond the Pale I think ...

Syndicated radio host Dan Patrick said a source told him that Nebraska and Arizona State are schools that could be “on to something” and to “keep an eye” on about Meyer’s coaching future.

“Let’s just say this dreamlike, and they might have an opening soon,” Patrick said of Nebraska. “Let’s say Nebraska could be in play for Urban Meyer, maybe, hypothetically.”

The on sides kick is so improbable though. There's a reason that it's only done in emergencies. It's not the same thing as going for it on 4th and 1 in order to be aggressive and set the tone for the rest of the game. It's just stupid. It has less than a 25% success rate, according to a quick google search.

I'm guessing it's success rate is higher with the lead than from behind when the opponent is expecting it

it was a bad call, but not horrendous and probably didn't have as much affect on the outcome as some would like to think

Probably not much data on it. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone crazy enough to try one with a two score lead in the third quarter in college or the pros, but trends have to start somewhere I suppose.

How do you rank the 2000s Nebraska regimes on sheer entertainment value? Pelini was the undisputed champion in my book, but Frost may have officially passed him. It's kind of amazing to watch it all unfold in real time.

Auburn has an NC sprinkled in there somewhere.  LSU has been pretty entertaining.  But, the question is which Nebbie admin has been entertaining.

None I'd say for their fans.

None for their fans, but from an outsiders perspective it can be ranked objectively. 

All of the post-Lloyd Michigan regimes still crush Frost on sheer entertainment value.

It damn sure wasn't going to be Greg Schiano.  ;)
He'd do well there IMO.
