Scott Frost and the Future

Does anyone think that the boosters - heavy money donors - have a wink and a nod agreement wt Scott? ie: We'll get rid of Bo, you go and get some experience, we'll hire a transitional coach not far from retirement who will bring stability to the program, in 3 - 4 years - you are successful, transitional coach retires, We hire you.

Sounds far fetch but I think that is what a lot of folks are thinking on HB (or at least are wishing for)

Personally, if Scott proves himself as a HC, I'm all for bringing him here. But it is far from automatic. It will take some 'luck' for that alignment to occur - could just as easily be 2 ships passing in the night.

This theory sounds familiar.

What does it sound familiar to?

 
“I think recruiting has become a circus,” Frost said on Open Mike radio show. “In some ways, that’s good. Long-term, I don’t want to recruit a lot of guys here who are going to be prima-donnas and wait until the last day to put four or five hats on a table and keep teams hostage to wait and see what they’re going to do. I want kids who want to be at UCF, not kids that want to be recruited.


“So much has come of this because of websites and TV coverage. In my experience, the kids that fall in love with recruiting and do those things, they have a harder time adjusting to college football and college life (as opposed to) kids that make their decision and immediately think about how to make themselves great college football players. Recruiting is fun for everybody, but in the long run, you’re better off getting the kids more about business and ready to get to work.”

If there is any hope of breaking into the recruiting monopoly, it's the mental aspect Frost alludes to.

Even good kids can be screwed up in different ways. Some of these 4/5 star recruits already have entourages and advisers and know nothing but success and adulation. When they suddenly find themselves away from home, surrounded by other 4/5 star talents and expected to practice less-glamorous aspects of the game, while looking up at a 2/3 star beating them out on the depth chart, some of them lose all the precious mojo.

Less heralded recruits willing to work harder aren't a bad way to go.

Hell, they'd be, what, second or third in the Big XII with that class, only behind Texass and possibly Baylor?

With Riley building a strong program here and the high probability that we will not have a spot for Frost here - why would that be a big loss?
