I've already said this, but what the heck, I will again. I don't buy this.
I don't buy the idea that you need to invest even more heavily in Frost due to fear of failure from a future unknown hire.
I absolutely believe Nebraska is capable of hiring a coach along the lines of PJ Fleck, Chris Klieman, or Matt Rhule. There are always coaches like this out there waiting for a leap from a lesser program. Successful coaches. Yes, there's also the chance we land another dud. But you can't allow fear of the unknown to dictate the present. That said, it would all be easier if Frost simply succeeds and this discussion and worry dies.
But if a bigger school comes along, Fleck is gone. And that’s the fear for Nebraska in the future... will the Flecks, Kliemans, and Rhules of the world stick around at Nebraska for the long haul? Or just see it as a stepping stone? I’m not sure outsiders would see this as a destination job anymore.
