    Erk Russell would have won more national championships then Vince Dooley if he was head coach.

    Running the triple option in the SEC? I doubt that. By the late 80s, nobody was running that offense in D-1 football with any real good results except for Nebraska. Even Oklahoma scrapped it by 1989. Colorado ran it for a few years, as did Notre Dame under Holtz. But nobody ran it like Nebraska.

    Look no further than who his top assistant was and what he is doing in D-1 football running that offense.

    Of course Nebraska's great run was AFTER the late 80s, so clearly the option had life back then.

    Their BEST run was in the mid-90s, but they were running the triple option since at least the late 60s under DeVaney and then under Osbourne.

    wasn't the HC for the national champions a QB there...under Osborne?

    Yep. Frost was the starter after Tommie Frazier. Nebraska won a title in 97 with Frost as the QB.

    Very glad that Frost went home to Nebraska instead of going to Gainesville.

    He will turn Nebraska around, IMO. They got away from what they did the best for 30-plus years. Frost will bring back that option-style game they are looking for again.

    Erk was a defensive coach, he would have gotten an offensive coordinator and ran whatever system would work. Erk' s greatest ability was motivation, any of his former players at Georgia or Ga Southern will tell you how he could get the best out of them. Would have been successful at any level.

    According to Paul Johnson, The whole coaching staff from GSU was on their way to Athens until the Goff hire pulled the rug out from under them. So I'm guessing that the Flexbone was the offense they were planning on using, unless Paul Johnson is just full of c r a p.

    97, didn’t Nebraska and Michigan split the # 1 spot or something?

    Would have been interesting, their offense was hard to stop when they had a good quarterback. I went to almost all of their home games when Erik was coaching. Would have loved to see Tracy Ham play against SEC defenses with some better talent around him. The problem would have been recruiting offensive players, offense doesn’t translate to getting players in the NFL.

    I think Frost is definitely an up and comer. Not the kind of coach we want in Gainesville. I'm not saying he would have been a guaranteed, slam dunk there but he seems to have a bit of the "it" factor as a coach as wonderfully vague and non- specific as I know that sounds. I think Mullen will be a solid, not spectacular hire for them. Frost has homerun potential, I'm.

    Frost is a good coach. Still suits up in practice to show’em how to run the option. Glad he didn’t go to Fla.

    Yep. Coach's poll had Nebraska #1; AP poll had Michigan.

    Nebraska went 12-0 and then beat the tar out of #3 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl, 42-17.

    Michigan went 11-0 and then beat #8 Wash. State in the rose Bowl, 21-16.

    Nebraska beat the better and higher-ranked bowl opponent....Michigan had the tougher schedule.

    THAT'S FUNNY!!! & like @donm said, that's also dangerous @JoelSidneyKelly ... careful, you don't want Mister "Wrath" to unleash a flurry of way too serious stuff in YOUR direction, do you??? Be careful my friend, besides it's all CMR's fault anyway, right? Wasn't CMR the one who lost all control of how tall that DB's like Tyson Campbell are growing up to be???

    The term ''stretch corner'' takes on new meaning.
    He is a high shelf player. By that I mean he can reach the high shelves.
