Kelly would make me nauseous as he would be a HR hire.

Frost would be the underdog great hire. Offensive genius.

Mullen...ehhhhh

SHHhhhhhhhh

Frost needs to come home so we can get rid of the experiment of how many wins can a career .500 coach get at Nebraska

I don't think there's any way Florida gets Frost. Nebraska will come hard for him.

I don't think he'll leave UCF right now unless the Huskers offer $3M or more

He should be the #1 candidate on anyone's list IMO

Which brings up the question, at what point does UCF pony up the cash, pay a good coach (like Frost) and become a real player. The talent is in the area.

Are they in a major conference yet?

I wouldn't pony up the cash until that step was accomplished.

Nebraska will have to offer more than $3M...or Florida will get him.

I think they will be. I'd venture to say in the "near" future conferences wont look like they do now

I mean Butch Jones makes 4.1. If 3 mil is the issue than Nebraska football has fallen much further than I thought. Frost ain't picking up the phone for under 4

I guess the question really is......is UCF 'better' than Nebraska simply because of the coach?

who has better players?

Right now, it's UCF and it's probably not very close.

0-12 to 6 wins to undefeated this far is pretty good coaching job. Wonder how different the recruiting rankings have been under frost.

I think that's a fair question but isn't the real question how much better will they be after this year?

Just looked. Classes have jumped from 70s to 50s in his two years. Sure he can pull a top 50 class but he still gonna compete for scraps of UF FSU and Miami with USF and FAU. I think it’s coaching. getting kids play up. I think he could do well at Neb.
