Think he’s got a good chance to bring Nebraska into the upper tier of the Big 10. He’ll develop some competitive teams. Anyone discounting his coaching talent is fooling themselves - dude is legit.
That said, he better hope he stays successful. He’s NOT like SOS. Spurrier was a beloved son who had a long leash. Nebraska fans love Frost now but that was rarely the case in the past. From an Oct 2017 article by Omaha.com discussing reasons he doesn’t always view his time there positively:
“The hazing and physical pounding he faced from angry teammates when he transferred to Nebraska after having originally spurned the Huskers in favor of Stanford.
Finding himself trapped between Lawrence Phillips and his former girlfriend in an incident that made national headlines.
The threats and taunts that came after Frost quarterbacked the Huskers during a 1996 debacle in the desert that ended the Huskers’ 26-game win streak. And how the experience caused him to rediscover his religious faith.
The boos he faced from home fans after a 1997 game — ironically, against Central Florida — and his anger at Osborne for his role in helping to create the scene.
His determination at that point to play for his teammates and coaches, not giving “2 cents” for the fans.
And how the progression of his final season and that national championship trophy seemed to heal any lingering hard feelings — from both fans and Frost.”
Those old bitter feelings will surface as soon as things go poorly. He took a much bigger risk going there than anywhere else.
