If it takes another 3-4 years before Nebraska is a stable program, Frost wasn't the right choice. Aaaaannndddd he'll be gone by then.

Frost and this Husker team does better than 6-6 in the ACC last year. The ACC is probably the weakest or second weakest conference top to bottom of the P5 conferences. Conversely, Mack Brown and UNC don't go 6-6 if they had NU's schedule. Rhule is no longer at Baylor so there goes the stability.

So kids should only take offers from schools who are ‘winners’? I played for a team that regularly won 4 games a basketball season, and we got them to getting ranked 4th in the state. I don’t care what a team did without me, I want to think of how they’d do with me.

Define stable. If he has a good year or two, then has a clunker, is that not stable so you think he’s gone? I don’t agree.
Bring back Riley. Lol
Seriuosly? How can any knowledgeable Husker fan think that looking at the roster that SF inherited from MR. Sure were/are a lot of NFL Draft choices there, weren't there? Look at the Sr class this year, which SF did not recruit. I don't see too many NFL Draft picks there or even many All B!G Conference players-1st or 2nd team candidates, do you? So how do you expect SF to do THAT great with the last of the MR players? I'm more than willing to see what SF's vision looks like when his 1st 2 years of recruits are Sr's and Redshirt Sr's before deciding if he was the right choice. I'd say that until SF's entire roster is Redshirt Jr's and Sr's would I think it fair to see how he has done. So I am very willing to give that another 2-3 years being I could see what he has had to build up.
To me, a stable Husker program is one that is winning 8 games a year on a consistent basis. Where going (God-forbid) 6-6 is only happening once a decade. That's Nebraska's potential.
I'm a bit confused by your comment "If he has a good year or two, then has a clunker, is that not stable so you think he’s gone? I don’t agree.
What do you define as a clunker? And do you think it's okay for Nebraska to win 9 games for a year or two then have a "clunker" season (I would personally define as 6-6 or worse). You'd be okay with 9-3, 9-3, 6-6, 10-2, 5-7, 9-3, 10-2, 5-7...etc.?
Your description of consistent suggests not having a 6-6, but keeping more of a Pelini consistency. I’m saying if we can do some 9, 10 or even 11 win seasons, a 6-6 and/or 8-4 won’t create a coaching change.
I’ll say this... Frost better succeed and the fans, media, and administration better give him all the time he needs to turn it around because we’re not going to land any ‘sure thing’ for a head coach if we push Frost out. There is no better alternative out there who is going to be willing to take the Nebraska job if there’s a post Frost era within the next 5 years. I hope he gets it done soon. But any of you who think you deserve instant gratification at this point in Husker history, you are mistaken. I’m not crowning him as the second coming, but he is our best chance at success. Anymore turns of the revolving coaching carousel at NU will set the program back another 20 years. Better practice some serious fricken patience.
Perhaps you've missed it, but N2FL continues to deny being a Husker fan. He always says "you" when talking about Husker fans. He tries hard to make sure he is not seen as a Husker homer, despite his many contributions to the Board.
A very low bar for the "potential" of NU football. When discussing recruits, potential is always kind of defined as the "ceiling" for a player. I guess the ceiling for NU football is pretty low in your opinion. I doubt many Husker fans agree that consistently winning 8 games a year is the ceiling for the program.
Spot on. This can't be liked enough.
I think it will take at least 2-3 more years based on what SF has had to start with roster wise. Didn't have too many All Conference players these first few yrs, unless I missed it. Did I? Nope. How about Sr class? Nope. Face it-this program needed a massive influx of talent to begin with and it was going to take at least 4-6 years of recruiting success to be in contention for a B1G West division for starters.

Ah, yeah I agree.
I guess I didn't elaborate enough. I think Nebraska's ceiling is better than what Wisconsin has done since Nebraska joined the conference. If Frost proves that he can develop talent as well as he recruits it, I don't see why the Huskers can't become the dominant team in the West with the capability of beating the East rep in Indy on any given day.
