Burn the Boats

After last years debacle, 8 wins would be a good year, and I think a reasonable expectation. Anything over 8 wins, will be a really good year.

I would not classify this as unreasonable expectations. 8 wins would be a good year and is within reach. It's the NC talk that is unreasonable and I should have stated that in my first post. Do I think Frost can win a NC, of course. But give him some time to get there. I agree with you that this is fun to discuss to past the time during the off season.

I mean seriously, I drink of the Kool-aid quite a bit, but even I don't think we will get close the NC this year, or even next year, but damn, how sweet would it be..... 2020 at the earliest, if I'm being realistic. I think that that is achievable. Time will tell....

Also, I am waiting for the ever fun, alternate uniform thread, it's kind of early in the off season for that, but..... ;):Biggrin:

So, to sum up you believe that if NU just so happens to go 2-10, 3-9, 2-10 and 3-9 in Frost's first 4 years, then NU cannot pull the plug because they cannot attract another nationally-sought-after coach with B1G money at their disposal?

Strolling through the hypothetical world here. We have to declare it because certain posters here can't tell the difference.

I appreciate clarifications. If the scenario above happens. Here is how the world might look:
-- Sell out streak done
-- walk on program no longer on life support, it would be dead, i.e., why take a walk on offer to play for the program formerly known as nebraska?
-- having to recruit players that want to play immediately, i.e., that is what a losing program has to do, has to recruit a different mentality.
-- there is unlikely another coach on the horizon with a nebraska connection (Zac Taylor? might be closest) and that matters to boosters, fans, etc. whether it should or should not, it matters here
-- We will closer in perception to Minnesota (a team that won lots of national championships that no one remembers) than to Oklahoma (a team that won a national championship only 3 years after us in 2000 but somehow they win enough to make it seem relevant today).

Support the Frost machine. Sell out the 2019 Spring game!
