For Scott Frost and Nebraska, Failure is Not an Option

Mistakes will be made. But let’s not be so fast to declare failure as we have been.

Today, Scott Frost becomes the latest Nebraska football coach to try and live up to the standards of Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Frank Solich and Bo Pelini, while close at times, weren’t quite there. Bill Callahan and Mike Riley weren’t even remotely close. Each of these individuals did some things right, but came up short in other areas. And each probably lives in infamy in the minds of some Husker fans.

Will Scott Frost join the ranks of “those other guys” or “Devaney/Osborne”? We hope it’s the latter, but there’s always the risk of the former. In fact, if you talk to some of old friends in the Big XII or our new friends in the Big Ten, they’d argue that it’s the “likelihood” of it being the former. To them, Nebraska is futily trying to recapture the glory of an era that has long since passed, and will never, ever return.

Maybe they’re right. Hopefully they are wrong.
