That's a good possibility, he certainly doesn't have far to travel to recruit, and that's a big bonus for any coach.

Plus he can win 10-11 games like clockwork and wait for the ideal next job assignment. The Husker kid ain't stupid folks!!! GBR

Why not until the ideal job opens up? Of course, Rocky Top and LSU could come calling very soon...and both of those jobs are ideal recruiting locations for his connections. GBR
Speaking of LSU, they better figure it out in a hurry, the men of Troy are getting it done so far against the Tigers.

Crazy fans and boosters at both those places too. I could see him taking a premier ACC or PAC 12 job though,

PAC 12 makes no sense. He is building on his the recruiting pipeline, either way. Not on the WC. I think the move was smart, because he will win lots of games at UCF and bide his time for a great job, while building a recruiting pipeline/HS relationships that would far outweigh anything on the WC.

Honestly, if you are not in Southern California, recruiting the West Coast is tough and there is lots and lots of competition. GBR

Of course it can work. Anything can.
But when you are that deep in their territory and go five wide it makes it easier to cover because you simply run out of room. The back line of the end zone becomes a 12th defender.
It allows the defense to completely abandon the run opportunity and lbs can drop into hook zones sooner.
P.A. will allow underneath routes to come open easier than 5 wide will. Corners can play tighter and safeties can be more lateral.
Could it have worked? Yeah...but it lessons your odds.
I'd just try to get the 2 yards and have three shots at the end zone, personally.
I disagree. 8 like the idea of spreading them out in the red zone horizontally because you can't really do it vertically.

He's well known in Cali from his days in Oregon. A UCLA or an Arizona State would be perfect for him.

He coaches UCF. Orlando. You don't think he is developing relationships with HS coaches throughout the SE? C'mon...
You said he took the UCF job because of his connections and that he should take the LSU or Tennessee jobs because of those connections. But prior to taking the UCF job, just over a year ago, he had only coached in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. Doesn't add up

perhaps Frost will want to stay at UCF?
Frost will leave UCF for another job. The stadium was half full. The support will never be there like it is for a top program. Herman left Houston for that reason. We better play our cards right and hire the right A.D. and go get him. The announcers gave you that hint during the game when they said Osborne was his biggest influence. The A.D. better have Osborne's blessing or the chances of getting Frost to way down.

He's on Year 2 in the SE (generally speaking, especially being in Orlando, he can recruit both SoFL into Atlanta). I would imagine he and his staff are building HS relationships in this region. That is all I am saying. Reaching out to coaches in a region. I would assume he is accomplishing this basic recruiting function Headcard. Again, I don't think he's stupid. GBR

He gives a shite about the Midwest and Pacific Northwest when he took the UCFast job, recruiting wise. Again, just a logical and regional perspective Head, I am not trying to rile you up, just stating the obvious

What do you mean by this?
When not in the red zone, Can't you send at least one of the five vertical and make a safety choose between an underneath and an over the top and make a read?
And doesn't the defense know, in the red zone, that you can't go vertical (too far) which allows safeties to use the back end zone line as a 12th defenderand play more horizontal, and allows your ILBs to cover hook zones more effectively since wr routes require space and separation, of which there is less in the red zone? Not to mention on 3rd and 2 with a rb in the backfield the run is a legit threat that the LBs have to assume is going to happen if P.A., thus opening hook zones?
Serious questions, I like xs and os talk.

Here's the secret about college football:most everyone has fast players.
What matters is how fast those fast p,a years can play and actually utilize their 40 times.
What helps them do so is confidence and being well prepared.

It's not how well you play, it's how well you play, FAST! :Cool:

Less talent outbound. SoCal is where the real talent lies and it is highly contested.

Meanwhile, where I live, is full of single Mom's looking for their Lord and Savior. Perfect recruiting grounds for a guy like Frost. GBR

The talent in Florida isn't highly contested? C'mon dude.

Guess what, every team in the SEC has speed. Frost's system probably won't work as well going against the crazy defensive speed of teams like Alabama and Georgia.

By comparison, there's not a whole lot of speed in the Big Ten West. They're used to playing against boring offenses like Iowa.

I agree. The Oregon style offense works great against crap teams and finesse defenses. Line up against physical defenses and it crumbles.

ASU will probably be looking. It would be the ultimate irony if he coached the school that put a 19-0 blanking on the two-time defending NC’s led by Scott Frost.
