This has nothing to do with Frost, but it's funny seeing people criticizing Nebraska for the move to the B1G. First off, they're an academic institution! You can count on your fingers the number of universities that wouldn't jump at the chance to be aligned with those schools academically. Other than the Ivy League, the B1G is far and away the most academically prestigious conference out there. That extends incredibly far beyond anything that happens on a football field or on a basketball court. The money and prestige that comes from being part of the Big Ten Academic Alliance is way more important than being able to recruit in Texas.

Also, the Big XII was far from a happy home. All of the schools were and are unhappy with Austin bullying the other members, and remember Nebraska only became a conference member with Texas when the Southwest Conference collapsed in 1996 and they took in Texas, A&M, Tech and Baylor.

Will Nebraska ever regain their halcyon days of Tom Osborne? Probably not, but I'd never say never. But the people who make decisions will never regret their decision to move to the B1G.

Agree with you, Nebraska going to BigTen was a no brainer for any school.
More academic prestige
more money
more stable.

and the reality is that if Nebraska gets a good coach, they should be very competitive in their BigTen division that lacks Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan State.

"With that being said, if it is Scott coming in I don’t believe it’ll be this year or this offseason because he just got to UCF and he’s doing a fantastic job down there. They’re undefeated right now and averaging over 40 points per game. Almost similar to what we had 20 years ago with 400 yards on the ground, 100 or 200 in the air, and a strong defense. I was down there this past April with Scott and he looked like he was having a good time on the beach, so I don’t think he’s going to be leaving Central Florida anytime soon. He loves that environment, and that’s what they’ve been looking for at that university cause they’ve been right in the middle of the pack as a mid-major university and they’re looking to step up. Having Scott and his coaching staff there, the administration and everybody is happy. So if he does come here, it’ll be 2, maybe 3, years before you see Scott Frost coaching on the sidelines in Lincoln."


When you see quotes like this it makes me think he is in no rush to jump in the Grinder trying to Recruit to Nebraska.

Orlando is on the beach? When did that happen?

Do you not have google maps where you're from or are just so geographically inept that you don’t know Florida is a peninsula and anywhere in the state is no less than 90 mins from a beach?

It takes longer for someone living in the Inland Empire to get to an LA Beach than it would for a lot of people in Orlando to get to one.

I always found that argument about Orlando stupid. You got a nice chain of Lakes and you are within 2 hours to go to either beaches on the Gulf or Atlantic side. Cocoa and New Smyrna being the closest & within an hour from most of Orlando

It's just odd how mystical Orlando geography is for some people. Lee Corso can't shake the idea that UCF's football campus is in downtown Orlando, some people think Orlando is the beach, now these posts? Fact is whatever the actual minute drive is worth it thanks to the gorgeous beaches on either side of the state.

This is in ADDITION to whatever they still owe Pellini. I know P5 conferences role in money......... but they also live a high life too....... and a lot of their money is already spoken for. Not as easy to just come up with $10 million+ in liquid cash that isn't already spoken for.

Nebraska is a graveyard for coaches. They have unreasonable expectations, little chance of improving on 9-wins a season due to demographic/landscape changes in college football, and are not an attractive destination for recruits. If he goes for the money or because he's an alum, I understand, but I hope he understands that his career will probably be ruined after 3 seasons there.

That's a point that I think Nebraska fans don't want to accept and them leaving the Big12 in my opinion made it worse. They don't get the modern recruiting world and how Nebraska has an uphill climb. In their own Conference I don't find their location ever being more appealing than Columbus, Ohio for the majority of Recruits even if Meyer left/retired.

I fully agree with you that leaving the B12 made it worse, but that was more of a monetary decision. I've racked my brain to think about what would draw someone to Nebraska and the only fun thing to do there is maybe attend the college world series. Otherwise there's nothing to separate them from Kansas. I've been all over the USA and never had the desire to go to Nebraska. I don't see how a coach is going to convince quality recruits to go there. Frost would be smart to hold out for an elite program like an Oregon or USC.

So I guess you would say Alabama is a great destination? Not sure what the draw is there but Saban has no problem getting kids to go there. I think it is more about the coach then the location in a lot of cases. Just need the right salesman

Even Alabama is not as remote as Nebraska. Birmingham is close to UA. Florida beaches, Nashville, and Atlanta all about a 5 hour car ride or less away as well.

I'd cut him some slack on that one. He didn't say we have beaches. It only takes 40 mins to get to the closest beach. Around the same time it takes most people to go cross town in a big city. I consider Orlando close enough to the beach without being too close.

UCF is a top rate program that is at or near the top of the heap of any non-P5 school.
They have their choice of any coach...

... until a P5* program comes calling

Then, well, it's unlikely they stay...

Reports out now that Florida has fired McElwain today. Obviously they wanted to get a jump on the Scott Frost sweepstakes.

https://deadspin.com/reports-jim-mcelwai...socialflow

Frost is gone.

She gone.

NU would be a mistake and UF might be. Thought UCF fans might find the following interesting. It was copied from the WVU board:

What makes you think any decent HC wants to go to Florida, the way you guys have trashed coaches and fired them so often. Ron Zook lasted 3 years. Will Muschamp lasted 4 years (BTW, he's doin pretty well at SC) and now, Jim McElwain, after taking you guys to the SEC Championship 2 years in a row, because your players are delinquents (10 suspended for cheating 1 week before the season starts and 2 of your best offensive players at that) now you want to fire him with cause after 3 years. This is Butch Jones' 5th year and Bret Bielema's 5th year and they haven't done near what Coach McElwain has done. No, I don't believe Frost will want to come to Florida and be your HC the way you fire coaches so quickly and you have only yourselves to blame. Coach McElwain couldn't forsee Luke DelRio getting injured and 10 of his playing committing felonies. No one sees these things in advance

Frost has 2 years as a HC, that’s not going to be good enough for big time boosters. They’re going to want someone with track record, Dan Mullins.
