Assistants Announced

Lol it’s 100000000% obvious to all Husker fans that Walters and Beckton tried very hard to stay at UCF. The reason they aren’t there anymore is 99% you guys f'ing something up and 1% Frost wanting them to stay on his staff.

i can already see the writing on the wall. UCF is gonna f#*k this up and not have a coaching staff for their bowl game and lose by 30.

Yes.  This.  I know you're excited but your running around like a kid all hopped up on chocolate milk and Sugar Babies because he cleaned his room.  Just ease back a little bit.  I mean...what do you expect @ATS Knight to say in this situation?  I haven't read through the whole thread but to my knowledge UCF hasn't ever had a coach leave of his own volition.  They've always gotten wacked or resigned.

Nebraska could have tslked privately to Frost and held off until the bowl game but the gossip was rampant in the news media and sports news.

Going back to @ATS Knight's initial points, this statement simply doesn't jive with modern day college football.

Frost couldn't wait until after the bowl game or even after the championship game to start the hiring process. The early signing period and volatility of the market demands swift action. If you try to do things slow and wait until December then you will flat out miss out on the best coaching candidates. 

I also think we really need to key in on what I believe to be one of the single greatest contributing factors to all this - UCF's ceiling. They spent the whole season getting goofed over by the CFP committee and there's no question in my mind that Frost would still be coaching full time at UCF if they were in the CFP.

There is literally nothing to chill about.

It's ludicrous that they are calling out Frost for taking his ball and going home.

A) Many of the staff members are Husker alums, what do you expect?

B) The coaches that were UCF guys obviously had a legit reason to come to Nebraska.

- They stayed a week and this is after "everyone" knew the staff was already leaving.

- They waited until a new HC was hired at UCF.

- They interviewed with the new HC to try and stay.

  + They either weren't offered their original job or they found out some stuff they didn't like, either way, how could you blame them? It's so crystal clear to me that they both wanted to stay.

I'm sorry, I feel like @ATS Knight is probably a really solid dude, but is coming off quite whiny. Everything that has gone on is how this business works. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Yup. At the end of the day, UCF has a ceiling until they are in a P5 conference. They hit that ceiling this year.

I understand they shouldn't be upset, but they are and your post was inflammatory. If you want to be that way whatever, but its not the best look. 

 
Is UCF trying to make it seem like it was the coaches that didn't want to stay perhaps? Sort of a save face thing? I mean I think their new HC is going to be a flop. He doesn't have the commanding presence that Frost has and guys like Meyer and Saban have. Some guys have it and if they have it they are usually big boy coaches. Riley doesn't have it, Solich didn't have it etc etc. 

I think UCF pooped the bed on this hire personally. They had a broyles nominee begging to he their HC and instead hired Mizzerys OC.....meh

This worries me. Again, waiting for more details.

Certainly possible. We get hope from the fact that the last guy we hired was some guy who no one was excited about and couldn't even design his own offense.

It's not fair when people call me whiny...

Yep, it really screws over a team when they have to wait until December to hire coaches...

Also the narrative of him “taking”the coaches has to stop. These are grown men(They’re 40!). He has not to my knowledge abducted them. As you said, it’s a testament to his leadership. The same leadership qualities which took you from 0-12 two years ago. If he was truly the Machiavellian villain ya’ll want him to be I doubt he would inspire that degree of loyalty.

Unless he is an evil warlock, as established earlier in the thread.

Rumors going around that they objected to the new mandatory Superhero-Friday dress code.

Somebody's cousin overheard at Tijuana Flats that the coaches wanted to dress as other members of the Justice League but were told that Superhero-Friday forces everyone to wear the same one-size-fits-all costume of Batman. Told that the admin assistant left in anticipation of this rule.

No one was excited to get the OC of Oregon???? He was a very hot commodity when you got him 

 
Frost turned down at least 3 Power 5 programs for UCF, IIRC.

I have read on the UCF board that they had never heard of him at the time, which I get, but once you found out he coached a Heisman trophy winner and Oregon's offense I would think you'd get excited.

Welcome to the hell that UCF fans are going through. 

Frost: I love UCF. I'm so loyal to you, I'm just more loyal to Nebraska. 

UCF: We understand. That means that you'll be nicer than all those guys that callously used their programs as stepping stones?

Frost: Nope! I'll treat you much worse. 

UCF: Worse? I thought you had a special attachment...

Frost: I do!

UCF: But you're going to ravage our program worse than coaches that hated their last school?

Frost: Yup! Go Big Red!

This is such a whiny-a$$ take. How did he ravage your program? By hiring away assistants that he (mostly) brought there himself? He saved that program, and a little gratitude towards Frost would be expected. Again, he was universally praised for how he handled that situation. UCF fans are fabricating, or greatly exaggerating the details of his exit.

I for one, am glad with the way UCF fans have handled his exit. It should do nothing but confirm to Scott that he made the right decision.

Heupel taking mizzou coaches with him before the bowl game!!! Ohhh the horror. Hopefully UCF fans tell these traitor coaches they don't want them near their school.
