Scott Frost

[CornHOLIO]

I don't think TO would ever make Bo hire anyone. That's not how he works. However, the longer Frost stays at Oregon, the more attractive he'll become to Bo. It's been stated numerous times now that the Oregon offense is what Bo wants at Nebraska. Give Frost a few more years and see where we are then.

I’m not disputing those things and I actually agree with you on them.

There are people that have stated though that T.O. should tell Bo to hire Frost, which if you ask me would be disastrous.

I have stated that I don’t have a problem with Frost coming in as a position coach, right now, today. I do have a problem with handing the reigns of our offense over to a unproven guy that has only been an offensive coach for 2 seasons, based solely on the fact that he played here and he has been around some pretty coaches.

He's been around some pretty coaches and we want to expose him to Bo?

6) he's learned from great coachs - Ron Prince, Mark Farley?

Also some stiffs named Osborne, Walsh, and Kelly. What would they know?

Dont forget about Mike Bellotii, he started out under him at Oregon.

If Oregon has continued success and "if" Frost is playing that big a part as some may think, then I would be hard pressed he leaves, and if he does it probably wont be NU.

Scott as a good recruiter is real promising to hear. He doesn't need to be an ace to be a big improvement over what we've got, and frankly staff-wide, good, willing recruiters are something we need.

He'd certainly be a step up from Gilmore. I like the fact that his recruits are from Florida/Cali. It's not as though he's just selling the Oregon product to local guys, he's going out and getting who he wants.

Kelly I'll give you. Outside of his 2 years on the offense at Oregon I can't really find a "great coach" that he would have learned from though.

When did he coach with Osborne? You mean the fact that he was a QB under Osborne? Some guy name Tommie Frazier played for NU once upon a time as well, under that same old stiff - and why don't you ask Doane how great of a coach he is? Epic disaster.

Are you talking about Bill Walsh or am I missing another Walsh - can't find one that he coached w/? He was at Stanford as an 18/19 year old when Walsh was there...but I certainly doubt that qualifies him as an OC. Did you follow the Walsh coaching tree about 18 branches to make a connection? Or was this another one where Frost played for a coach who happened to get his pool cleaned by the same guy that clean's Walsh's daughters fish tank? Regardless, I'd rather he had no connection to Walsh and his west coast offense, we've had enough of that crap here.

Might as well throw Parcels in there as well since he played special teams on a a Parcels coached team. I bet he sucked up 99% of Billy's genius during that time.

Or how about Callahan? Bill Walsh tutored Paul Hacket, who discovered Jon Gruden, who ultimately trained ol' Callahan. I mean Frost is definately qualified to be an OC now.

I think they are referring to the fact that Frost played for Walsh at Stanford.

Chip Kelly brought Frost in after he was hired and Bellotti had moved to AD.

Yea I just thought about that, my mistake. :facepalm:

Actually, Bellotti hired Frost, then moved to AD, and Chip Kelly kept Frost on staff. Frost didn't really ever coach with Bellotti, though, if that's your point.

That was my point. When did Bellotti move over then? Right after signing day? Frost was hired in January.

Nevermind I found it. Kelly took over in March so Frost worked with Bellotti for two months.

If I remember correctly he resigned right after the Holiday Bowl against Oklahoma State.

Are you saying that he didn't learn anything by playing for coaches like Osborne and Bill Walsh? If that is your stance, then how exactly do coaches teach or "coach up" players?

And the Tommie Frazier/Scott Frost comparison is apples to oranges. The only thing their playing/coaching experiences have in common is that they both won National Championships at DONU under TO. That is a horrible analogy, and your whole argument here is bunk.

Right. Pretty seamless transition. Kind of amazing... Kelly's first year: Conference champs with an appearance in the Rose Bowl. Kelly's second year: Conference champs with an appearance in the BCS title game.

The we have a pool of thousands of qualified coachces - since plenty of Division 1 athletes were coached up by quality HCs.

And the Tommie Frazier/Scott Frost comparison is apples to oranges. The only thing their playing/coaching experiences have in common is that they both won National Championships at DONU under TO. That is a horrible analogy, and your whole argument here is bunk.

How is it apples to oranges again? 2 former NU Quarterbacks coached (and in your eyes educated to the level of a Division 1 Coordinator (soon to be head coach)) by Tom Osborne. Both won National Championships at NU. Both went into coaching at Big12 schools. Both had limited experience as a position coach. The only difference is one was elevated above a position coach after 3 years experience at a BCS school and failed miserably. The other is still a position coach but you are arguing the second should be elevated after 2 years?

I'm not saying Frost would fail, I'm just giving an apples-apples comparison that not only makes your "trained by Osborne" argument bunk, but also you "he has enough experience to take the risk" argument bunk.

Still waiting for a valid argument. Hundreds of kids graduate every year and have been coached by great HCs. Being a great player for a great coach does not automatically translate into being a great coach. Playing for 2 or 3 great coaches does not automatically translate into being a great coach. Player/Coach - there's your apples to oranges comparison. Quit using it as your sole point for Frost's capabilities. (oh, i guess he did play at NU)

I guess I missed where I said that every Division 1 athlete could be a coach. My assumption is that if a guy played Division 1 football from a great coach, he likely would have learned something from said coach.

How is it apples to oranges again?

Are you going to tell me that being HC at Doane (and failing) is the same as Frost being a position coach at UNI, KSU, or Oregon? I'd say no. And, if you haven't noticed, they are two different people, both have different ideas, both interact differently with other people. If you don't understand that their personalities effect their coaching style and make them different coaches, then I can't help you. It'd be like saying that Osborne and Pelini are the same because they have both held the same position.

2 former NU Quarterbacks coached

That is about the only thing they have in common.

Please show where I have said that Frost should be our next OC? I would like to see him back at DONU, but I don't think that I've ever said that. Please show me where I said any of this.........

Still waiting for a valid argument. Hundreds of kids graduate every year and have been coached by great HCs. Being a great player for a great coach does automatically translate to being a great coach. Playing for 2 or 3 great coaches does not automatically translate into being a great coach.

I never said that playing for a great coach automatically makes you a great coach. But Frost is known to be a pretty smart guy, I'm sure that working with/for/under great coaches has had some sort of influence on him. I'm sure he has learned a few things from some of the all time greatest coaches in the history of football. That is how things work in the real world.
