I agree with, you except with Frost.
He loves to recruit, but kids just don't want to go to Nebraska.
Frost needs to take a hard look at what Jamey Chadwell is doing down at Coastal Carolinal.
Football is a culture. And Nebraska needs to run some varition of wishbone football.
Coastals offense is a perfect blend of old school option, 90s west coast offense, and the Utah pistol.
Good points. Although I would say COLLEGE football is culture. And one reason it's better than pro football.
I said before he was hired that Frost (in spite of being an alum) was a bad fit for Nebraska. His system needs athletes. Throwing the ball all over the place works in Florida, California, Texas, and other warm climates. Nebraska a) isn't going to get the type of athletes needed for that system, being in the middle of a recruiting wasteland, and b) is culturally and climate-ly (is that a word?) a wishbone/ground attach school. It gets cold there. Throwing in the snow isn't as effective as pounding teams in the snow. They need to win with big uglies, a great strength program and a somewhat deceptive run game. That's why I thought a guy like Paul Johnson made a lot more sense for them than Frost. Frost might go to a warm weather school after Nebraska fires him and he very well may thrive. And Nebraska should look at hiring someone from Navy or Air Force to run that system for them. Troy Calhoun would make a lot of sense there.
