Fulmer doesn't come across well in this mess. As the days go by it appears he's been behind the scenes mucking things up

Given the nature of the tweets, and that they are coming from a well-known (infamous?) college head coach, I can understand why a rational person would suspect that it is not really his account. I am very sorry to have to confirm that it is. I wonder if he is aware, or cares, that this is the type of thing that could prevent a coach from getting promoted to a "big time" coaching job. I did find the Kim Jong Un tweet to be pretty funny.

We'll likely never get back to our run in the early/mid-90s, but I'd love to get back to our mid-70s/80s in which we won some conference titles and were a tough out for just about anybody.

I am very happy to see that Frost was chosen to be the next head coach at Nebraska. Expectations have always been high at Nebraska, which is totally understandable given the high bar set by excellent coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. That is probably about the best 35-year run ever in college football. Since that time, Nebraska has made some questionable coaching hires; Solich (well, he was actually pretty good for a while), Callahan, Pellini and Riley. Riley was a good guy and the anti-Pellini, but he had never really done anything exceptional as a coach. Expectations will be high for Frost as well, but the fan base will likely give him some time to shine given who he is, where the program is, and the coaches that have been there between he and Osborne. I will be rooting for his success. He seems like a good coach, a great person, and he embodies the Husker spirit. It must be a great day to be a Husker!

Thank you for the info, much appreciated. Hard to fathom
from all I gather elsewhere as well, it really is him. Incredible. He is well aware of the circumstances, no doubt about it. I think he'll stay put at FAU for awhile, then a few yrs down the road people will forgive and forget (it IS college football afterall

Just saw herm Edwards has been hired as HC at Arizona St. What a terrible hire. I can see him juicing the program for a year, but he's old and I doubt recruiting will be something he'd want to do year round (needed, to be successful). I thought Sumlin would be a great fit there.
