I don't see it.  Has it ever happened anywhere - for a "regular" bowl game?  It's happened a couple times when the school is in the national championship game - Pelini for example - but other than that they pretty much leave when hired.

Especially with our recruiting situation.  Less than half of a class at the moment.  Have to try to keep as many of those guys as possible and find 10-12 more guys to get with the December signing period looming.  Plus ease the concerns of current players and hire a staff.

If it was the NFL and all you had to worry about was playing the games, possibly.  WAY too much other stuff going on in the college game.
I agree that it's highly unlikely.  Someone pointed out that Urban Meyer did it with Utah back a number of years ago when he led them to an undefeated season and played in the Fiesta Bowl.

All I was trying to do was show a scenario where Frost could do both.  If Frost does take the NU job, he's most likely going to be 100% NU on day 1.  There is NO CHANCE that he's going to be 100% UCF until after their bowl game.  People thinking that are just plain wrong.

Mock it if you want, but it's a scenario that Frost could choose IF he really wants to coach UCF's bowl game.

"It shouldn't even be an option, frankly.

It would be like dating a woman and then going to her house and finding her ex-husband still living with her.  'Oh don't mind him, he is just going to help to cook and clean the house one last time."

Italics are mine.   :D

 
Frost is staying put after all :( . Scott's first meeting in Lincoln will be UCF vs. NU on September 26th 2020 .......  plug in schedule, both teams searching opponents (TBA for right now).

There is a scenario where Frost coaches the bowl game for UCF, while also being the Head Coach for Nebraska in December, and prepping for next year.  I agree that it would most likely be that Frost leaves UCF altogether and goes 100% NU in December, but he's not going to stay at UCF for the bowl game and not do any work for NU in December.

If UCF and NU agree to let Frost coach in the UCF bowl game, the timeline would most likely be like this.

Dec. 4th - Frost is hired by NU, arrives in Lincoln for press conference and starts getting his staff together for NU.  He leaves a small staff at UCF to carry out bowl prep.  The NCAA allows "split coaching staffs" in times of transition.  UCF can also bring in interim assistant coaches & GA's to help out in bowl prep.

Dec. 5 - 22 - Frost and his new staff in Lincoln do recruiting for JUCO's and high school guys that want to sign early (12/20-22).

Dec. 23 - Frost hands off dead period duties to his new NU assistant coaches, and goes back to UCF to oversee the bowl prep.

Dec. 26-1 - Frost takes over the UCF football team and bowl prep for one final game with UCF.

Again, this is all dependent on whether UCF wants Frost to coach in the bowl game, Frost wants to do it, and NU is willing to allow Frost to coach one more game.  I am sure NU would rather have Frost be 100% NU from day 1, but it might be a consideration they give to Frost during contract negotiations.
Called it!
