UCF may need to start worrying about Frost getting his offer from Nebraska. Curious if he may hold off for Tennessee, Butch looks like a dead man walking.

Not if the Gators beat them to him. Despite the history with Nebraska, Gators simply a much better opportunity, especially with having the entire state of Florida recruiting at his disposal.

I was actually wondering what the UF situation was. It seems Muschamp really has not acheived where the Gator fans think they should be. Much like UGA with Richt.

it will be hard for Muschamp to "acheived" anything at Florida now considering they fired him in 2014 and he coaches at South Carolina now

Man, my brain has shutdown tonight. Sorry, I meant McElwain

At 66 how can he make a commitment to a coach?

McElwain has done a horrible job on our offense........or lack thereof. Our trip to Atlanta was a joke as nobody expected us to put up any fight, and it was confirmed. He did a horrific job handling the Will Grier situation and I can tell you people are pissed. Under the table, people are hoping for a bowlless season so we can nip this problem sooner than later. There is a sect that wants a splash hire, but there is a growing vocal minority that sees what Frost has done at UCF and sees the unlimited potential of running his system with the UF resources.

UCFAST to UFAST

One of the big problems now is the early signing period. With the December signings, coaching firings and hirings now need to happen in November.

Nebraska really should not NEED an AD that is the reason to draw a coach to coach there......though the way they have handled their program recently has made that more of a situation

but of course part of that is the fact that they let the ADs do things their way and the ADs made themselves part of the decision for a coach similar to Wisconsin

I think Nebraska likes him because he is pretty good at handling the money and he is not driven by a big ego or the need to be out there being "THE AD OF NU" he is fine with just running things and hiring coaches and letting them go coach

As a prospective employee you want to know who you will be working for. You want to know how that guy is going to support you. You want to know he is going to let you run your program. If that guy is already 66 there is a high probability that he will be gone in 2-3 years. Any promises or commitments he makes have to be taken lightly.

Moos is not good with money he has put WSU into major debt. Some saying at WSU that the athletic department is in the hole 50 mil b/c of his doing...

Very interesting hire for Nebraska. Moos has zero tires to Nebraska or anywhere really other than the Pacific Northwest. While forced out at Oregon by Phil Knight, he also hired Mike Leach, Mike Bellotti and Ernie Kent (twice) in football and basketball, respectively.

His age is definitely a concern, just because it probably isn't a long-term job, but he definitely appears to favor the older/established coaches for big sports (not young and up-and-coming). In this regard, perhaps someone like Frost would actually not be a favorite if Riley gets replaced (despite the overall attractiveness in getting him would bring).

well the BOR has to approve all spending so it was not "Moos" that did it

and their facilities were terrible if they wanted to remotely have a chance to compete they needed to do something

and while their debt is large it should be manageable

many of the PAC 12 teams are in the same situation or worse
