Unfortunately neither is SF after 2 seasons!

A look at Frost's nine wins in two years

I agree and this is why I think we go 6-6 [at best] next year. We won't be competitive until we can win in the trenches. We still won't have the horses to do that consistently next year, especially against our last 5 opponents. I don't see AM improving much and with Washington type back not on the roster we are limited even more. Tackling, turnovers, QB play, WR play, O and D line play, LB play. All are a big question mark for me.
I don't understand this sentiment. If he sucked, why keep him? It seems to me more unfair that players and fans should stick with a medicore coach "because."
I'll bet Riley doesn't have a second thought about his time at Nebraska. Failure never seemed to bother him much.
Actually, he fought pretty hard to keep his job and was clearly hurt by the way things shook out. I don't think he knew that when SE was canned, he was already gone. He is, however, optimist by nature and probably hasn't thought much about it since it happened...smart way to live.

If Riley didn't see the writing on the wall after Eichorst was fired, he was the only one in the state. I think he did; that's why he lobbied to keep his job. There's a lot to learn from failure if you look at it as failure. I'm not sure Riley looked at it that way.
MR fattened up his retirement program big time so I doubt he's got many thoughts about what happened at Nebraska. He did the best he could but it wasn't a good fit for many different reasons. SF is going to get a lot more time because Nebraska owes him another 35 million with the last extension. That's a lot of protection for the next several years even if we have losing seasons.
Actually SF was 13-0 after his 2nd season, so i would say he is a pretty capable coach. If you want to compare the two, and their resumes, it says alot about your agenda.
Please don't be ridicilous. First off he's not at UCF and 3 out of 4 losing seasons hardly qualifies him for HOF status right now. I've supported SF more then most but I'm also intellectually honest on what I've observed the past 2 seasons. As for my agenda it's to tell it like it is and if that annoys some people so be it. I'm hoping for a big turn around next season but we'll just have to wait and see.

Because if you're gonna be stupid enough to hire a mediocre coach, then barring some scandal or a complete disaster, even a mediocre coach should get 4 years.
13-0 is still 13-0. It doesn't matter where it happened and it shouldn't be dismissed.
That's ridiculous. SF's performance at UCF is meaningless at Nebraska except to the extent it got him offered the Nebraska job and allowed him to command extraordinary salaries for him and his entire staff. Larry Coker says hi!
Matt Rhule looks like someone that lived in his parent’s basement playing video games all day and was cleaned up so he could get a job. Guy can coach though. I would put money on BU this weekend +9, if I was a betting man.
On another topic, HuskerWeatherman reminded me that our focus shifted to hiring SF instead of supporting the team down the stretch in 2017. I would imagine that was the beginning of the “buy-in” issues and resentment we have been suffering from. Not a good situation for a new coach. Needed to be handled delicately and I’m not sure it was.
Nah, admit you made a mistake and takes steps to remedy it.
