Admin, forgive me if this isn’t the place to put it. Unsure of validity. Looks like it might have some juicy details.

These were my thoughts from the beginning of the idea, he just wasnt ready.

one version...not sure of this timeline...but I do know florida told him to pound sand as far as bringing his assistants. Moos was the only one who would allow it. Immature? he didn't mature as time went on in the regards of refusing to adapt to the needing staff changes.

Bill Moos was in an uncomfortable situation, or a very simple one, depending on your point of view. He was responsible for picking the next head coach at historic Nebraska. But he had a very popular choice handed to him on a platter. Had Moos NOT hired SF, fans would have likely taken the torches and pitchforks after Moos. Despite that, he would have been vindicated if either (1) he hired a coach for Nebraska that would make people forget about the failure to hire SF, or (2) if SF fell on his face at Florida or Tennessee. Both these scenarios might take a while to come to fruition. But Moos was on a shorter life cycle. He was close to retirement himself. So, he took the easy and comfortable way out and went after the home town hero. Another of a ridiculously long list of unforced errors on the part of university leaders.

Hindsight is definitely 20/20.

I would assume Kendra can corroborate Moos’ memory of their conversation if he put it in a book

Exactly what I expected. Moos really had no choice, and it was a bad one. I admit to being one of the ones hoping is was the right move at the time.

Almost close to a line from The Last Boy Scout. A film that gave us all so many quotes...

Oh, and to the reason for the thread - I have no interest in reading his book as we have all lived it. He can continue to fish and drink, or however he fills his time these days as I am done.

Of course Moos is going to provide a version of the story that paints him in the best light. But if he thought Frost wasn't ready he shouldn't have hired him. That's just poor leadership. Frost could possibly have succeeded elsewhere,but knowing what we know now he probably wouldn't have.

The flip side is if Moos hadn't hired Frost and he'd gone 16-31 at Tennessee then moos would've looked like a genius instead of getting chased out of town.

97% were on that train. I saw literally no one on this board bitching about it. If they were, they kept very quiet.

Edit. I will add, I remember HWM raising some concerns about it, so credit to him.
