Nebraska 2018 Season Thread

Riley is a class act, even at termination.

an amazing person and the reason Eichorst hired Riley

Frost decided not to visit Florida this past weekend sometime late last week...  good news for UNL at the time.... Door is closed with Mullen going to Florida, so great news for the huskers.  

I think my pessimism, and yes, UNL fans have had a lot of bad luck lately, combined with the "what if" conversations by radio hosts and media had me overly concerned that it wouldn't be Frost.  It appears now, he's the guy...  and I hope so.   I still think UNL's options outside of Frost are problematic.   UNL fans will be divided on the "rest of the list" (which seems to be 6 according to our AD) and this divided or fractured fan base will continue to harm the program.

Look for Frost to announce next Sunday. He's got business to take care of this week, and unlike the previous UW coach, I don't think he'd mess with anything until is his business is done.

what if they receive a new years bowl bid...   if you were SF, would you coach through the bowl game?

Different animal really, starting this year. The early signing period is next week I think.

UNL will land a few in-state kids next week, but that window is probably closed right now... I don't think 1 week as HC will change many minds.  Most kids, not local, will want to hear more and learn more about the staff before committing.  jmo.

I hope he doesn't coach it.. and wants to start in Lincoln ASAP.  But those are his players...

UCF HC Scott Frost was asked directly again to confirm he will be back in 2018 in Orlando: "All I want to talk about is this football team, I've said that multiple times. These guys have done everything I have asked of them and my focus is on this football team."

[847badgerfan]

That's what he should say.


I read a story this morning in the Trib that talked about Frost and Oregon should Taggert want to go back to his roots in Florida.

If aTm gets Fisher, FSU would look at Taggert as a primary target.

just a tweet I saw... interesting....

The final 1995 College Football poll, with today’s final regular season records: 1- Nebraska (4-8) 2- Florida (4-7) 3- Tennessee (4-8) 4- Florida State (5-6) 5- Colorado (5-7) The 5 best teams in 1995 have a combined winning percentage of 38% in 2017.

That's a pretty hard core breakdown by Sam.   Very good piece.

Isn't it time for a Nebraska off season thread?

good question.  I think he does for two reasons
1. an undefeated season is very special
2. it seems he's bringing his entire staff with him, so who would coach those kids if he doesn't?  He won't just bail on them.

I think he announces he is going to UNL, but stays and coaches through the bowl game
