Guaranteed to fail.
Because he won't be able to convince the players he needs to run that type of system ... from California, Texas, Florida ... to export themselves to literally the middle of nowhere hell, Lincoln, Nebraska.
The correct scheme to run in the midwest, in my opinion, is a power run/play action/pro style offense, and a crushing defense. Not the wide open, shotgun every snap, basketball offense type of system. That's my $0.02, for however worthless it is.
Oregon was top 10 in rushing all three years that Frost was OC.
Dennis Erickson took Oregon State to the Fiesta Bowl and killed ND. Riley went to an Alamo Bowl and lost to Texas by passing the ball with a lead in the second half. He forgot about the running game in 2009.Any coach Nebraska hires (and it will probably be Frost) will have accomplished some things prior to coming there. If it were all based on the past accomplishments of coaches most of the conference would be lining up their undefeated seasons.
Mike Riley was an NFL coach, longtime rumored candidate at helmet schools, and took freaking Oregon State to a BCS level bowl game. That didn't work out.
I know full well that wide open offenses are very capable, and often do, have huge rushing numbers. Didn't say anything to the contrary.
I'm only saying that a pro-style, power rushing scheme is a completely different system than the wide open stuff, that caters to different body types, where those body types tend to be more concentrated in different parts of the country.
Anyone whose mother (that's correct his mother) was his wide receiver coach in high school will be successful
It's one thing to attract the talent to run that offense to Orlando (a huge percentage of the current UCF roster is from Florida), it's quite another to attract them to Lincoln. Let's see how that works.
It is also one thing to run that type of offense on warm fields with good traction. Let’s see how it plays out on cold and snowy fields.

Kelly designed and perfected his offense in the cold, wet conditions of Oregon. Frost's biggest issue will be keeping his QB's healthy. Schematicly, the shock value of the Chip Kelly O has sort of run it's course. Lots of teams are doing something similar.
So NE won't be good till 2021, right?

Funny how Frost’s system at a lower level won’t transfer to the Big Ten, yet no doubt that Fleck’s will? Funny.

I think the west is wide open next year. Anyone other than Illinois winning it wouldn’t surprise me.
I think Frost will have them contending for the west some years. I don’t think it’ll turn into Chip Kelly Oregon Midwest.
If he fails at Nebraska and is fired in 5 years or less, it means Nebraska as a major power is officially dead.

Also, Chip Kelly > Scott FrostNebraska can't be Oregon though ..... Oregon was only able to be Oregon because they were able to import so many high level kids from California.
Scott Frost, nor anyone else, will be able to import 10-15 high level California kids to middle of nowhere hell Lincoln, Nebraska.
