Frost Asks For Family Privacy

Unfortunately, this is mainly an issue because of (primarily) one media outlet's (WOWT) decision to be vultures and try to profiteer of the fact they contacted Frost's mother for an interview. It made them look stupid.

The vast majority of the media/press have been respectful of the Frost family. I also haven't seen any evidence so far that anyone was "camped" outside of Frost's parents home. It was a rumor perpetuated by media members in Florida.

That said, I understand Frost's reasons for doing this. He's basically saying don't get similar ideas. He was the one put in a tough spot thanks to some assignment editor/news director's stupid choice.

Sorry if this was noted already, but thought I would post in all of the excitement from yesterday. We all know how much Frost loves to be back, but he doesn't want his family bothered going forward. I don't see this as much of a problem now that he was officially hired. Just a good reminder 

In post presser questions with the media Frost said “I’m going to lose it on you guys if you approach my family. It’s already happened.” Then is subsequently asked about what his parents told him after the UCF game. Frost says “Listen I told you guys, my family is off limits. I’m telling you that right now, I don’t want phone calls to my mother. I don’t want pictures of my son. This is about me and this is about these kids and this program, its not about them.”

Here, let me repost this.... this is great!

Does anyone not understand what he means?

 
Frost is a passionate guy who will put protecting his players (and his family) first.

I think Frost will be much different than Riley when it comes to the media.  But he'll have Davison and Moos for support in that area.

 
There also has to be very strong consequences for media members that don't adhere to what Scott is asking.  They do something stupid, they're gone. 

 
Unfortunately, threatening the media has never worked out well for anyone.  That's a little bit like yelling at the clouds not to rain on you.

 
It's worth noting that if you watch the video where Scott tells the media to leave his family out of it, it's not out of no where. The media asked a couple questions about his parents' reactions to Scott taking the Nebraska job before Scott shuts down that line of questioning. So the media was already flirting with that line before Scott said, “Listen I told you guys, my family is off limits."
