I don't understand the anger towards Fred here. It's not like he turned down an ISU job offer to go to Nebraska. Jamie wasn't going to fire Prohm to offer Fred the job. If Prohm had left for Alabama and Fred still didn't come, I'd maybe see a point but we didn't have an opening this year.
And with all the rumors swirling for some time, how do we know that Fred wasn't holding out to see what Prohm was going to do before agreeing to go to Nebraska?
I honestly believe that he WAS waiting to see what Prohm did. And maybe, if ISU lost in the first game in KC, things would have turned out differently. Oh well, it's done now. I'll continue to hope NU wins two games a year and loses the rest. Not that it affects me one way or the other if they win. I appreciate what FH did at ISU, but he's just another ex-coach now.
BTW, for someone who admittedly hated recruiting, it's strange to see him take a job at a place that is just as hard or harder to recruit to than ISU. And it's not like recruiting is less dirty now than it was 5 years ago.
