Looking forward to following him there. Wish him nothing but the best. I see a real leader in him. Charasmatic, smart and hope very much that he is Nebraska's next and final head coach for many years.
Scott Frost to be named UCF HC
- Thread starter Metalfan_rivals78335
- Start date
I read a work on how Coach Frost would turn the N team around. Coach Frost really came across great and I feel most would have backed his overall philosophies. He believes in the new O wrinkles in CFB - but talked of Power football and the teams of the 90's and what was winning titles. I came away wanting him to be our head coach , when coach P left. I think he would have done a great job now; you don't need a whole lot of grey hair to be good at your profession. His feelings for N were strong. GBR
Hope he does great and hope he ends up here someday, adopting a successful program that Riley got on the right track. Dream scenario, I know, but a guy can dream, right?
that is always one of the wild cards when you hire a coordinator - his entire staff will be taking a step up
he isn't going to get a hot coordinator on either side of the ball as those coaches are in line for head coaching positions
so you have a situation where the new coordinators were position coaches last year or coordinators at very small schools and if they were really well regarded coordinators at small schools they may have their sites set on a power 5 school
certainly can be overcome but there are some obstacles when the top 3 coaching positions (HC, OC, DC) are all filled with newbies
Keep an eye on Air Force's OC, but it may be perceived as a step down, so I'm not sure it's going to happen.

Hopefully Frost won't be taking over an 0-12 team at his next gig.
This is the first step. Let's see what Scotty can do. I like that he is getting to cut his teeth.
Zac Taylor might be the former Husker QB to keep an eye on as our future head coach. He's already an NFL OC. I wonder if he has any desire to coach college again.
But don't kid yourselves, Nebraska is Frost's dream job. When we scheduled Oregon, he talked about how he still loves Nebraska and Nebraska will always be home. His parents are here. He would take the job in a second if ever offered.

not sure canzano did much research on ucf------frost could have done worse. was rather surprised when i heard this, but, makes some sense when you think about it. recruiting-wise.

Fabulous hire for UCF. They are just realizing that they beat out a couple of the big boys for Scott Frost's HC services. Frost can't fail as UCF was 0 (zero) W's, and 12 L's last year. Sounds like he will develop one he** of a Florida pipeline prior to his return to UNL as HC in several years.

Interesting: UCF plays Michigan next year at The Big House. Then they play Maryland the next week. So we'll see how Scott fares against a couple of Big Ten teams.
This conference is getting some pretty salty young coaches.
Houston, Memphis, Tulsa, Navy, and now UCF all have quality young coaches. It's a lot of fun to watch these teams play.

Gundy...top ten in wins over the last seven or eight years. He built a solid program there.
I'm not so sure expectations are lower there then here. Until this year O'Leary has had a reasonably good record at UCF and fans usually want better.
They certainly aren't high and only a handful of schools have the same expectations as Nebraska. Everyone wants to see their favorite football program win but those with the blue blood culture demand it, UCF isn't in the same realm as Nebraska in terms of expectations.
I still believe the only reason Frost didn't get the HC job at NU last year was a lack of HC experience. Great move. Florida's population and talent pool is so great that it isn't that hard to field a reasonably good team year in and year out even when competing against Florida, FSU, Miami, etc for recruits. UCF is somewhat of a sleeping giant, and you can't go wrong when you are coming into an 0-12 situation.
