Actually, I am a Nebraska native that lives in Nebraska and has season tickets. I understand and am part of the fan base. I don't know if we are different from all others, but I know we are different in comparison to the fans at every away game I have attended over the years...other than the Tennessee fans that I sat in the middle of at the Fiesta Bowl many years ago. It is easy to say that Frost "won back their love through his work" after the team won a National Title. What about his Junior year. He took the majority of the blame for the Arizona State loss...the majority of the blame for the Texas loss as well. I vividly remember the comments "go back to Stanford" and "you couldn't carry Tommie Frazier's helmet". I remember the fans booing him on a regular basis in the home stadium. I remember the nasty comments about Coach Osborne. Again, deliver National Championships and you are revered. Lose 1 game a year and you "can't win the big one". "Osborne can't motivate his players". "Osborne just stands there on the sideline...he is an emotionless statue". A large percentage of this fan base has despised Coach Riley from the moment he was hired. "He is a .500 coach, always has been and always will be". This part of the fan base would rather see Coach Riley fail so that they can say I Told You So...as opposed to seeing him succeed and leave this program in better condition than what he inherited. I love Nebraska football with all my heart. I spend a great deal of money supporting that program. As a human being, I have no idea why Scott Frost would subject himself and his family to the scrutiny that surrounds Nebraska Football. Don't get me wrong, I believe he could have a level of success in Lincoln. I just don't know if the pressure cooker would be worth it for him.

There are a lot of factors as to the future of Scott Frost. I am not so sure that Frost would want the Nebraska job. That is an extremely difficult place to recruit to, and the fan base is nasty. The Nebraska fans absolutely despised him when he went to Stanford out of high school, and he was not well received when he returned home 2 years later. Frost has the opportunity to build a dynasty smack dab in the middle of Florida, surrounded by recruits within driving distance. If Frost puts that program into New Years bowl games, they will pay what it takes to keep him. He is following the Tom Osborne formula for success where he is at now, and that can't be followed in Lincoln. Quirky offense, weak conference, big fish in a small pond, and can rely on player development more so than recruiting. There is a reason Osborne opposed moving to the Big 12, and later the Big 10. I wish Scott Frost all of the success in the world, but hope for his own sake he never gets the itch to coach in Lincoln Nebraska.

He can't have anything to do with coaches salaries BUT, he can make a sizable donation to the athletic department in an amount that corresponds exactly to the amount of a potential coaches salary.
