As the dust continues to settle after Sunday’s announcement that head football coach Scott Frost had been fired, talk now moves to who will be his long-term replacement after this season. Husker fans are familiar with this process as it will be the fifth time Nebraska will have to hire a new football coach since the hiring of Bill Callahan back in 2003. Cornhuskers Wire will have its list of possible candidates released later this week, but until then, Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports has listed seven coaches that could replace Scott Frost.
I’ll keep reminding people that Athletic Director Trev Alberts has made it very clear this process will be conducted in a thorough and organized fashion. During his Sunday afternoon press conference discussing the firing, he said,
“Ultimately, you know, in a prior life, I have relationships with a lot of coaches in this business, and I intend to reach out to a lot of people. So if you hear that Trev Alberts reached out to XYZ coach, it doesn’t mean that I’ve offered the job to XYZ coach. I think there’s some fabulous coaches out there that have a perspective about our job that I can benefit from so I’m going to reach out to a lot of people.
