Posting this in Rumoville where it belongs.

It was mentioned last year during the coaching search that some former players didn't like Frost. Does this all stem from the LP incident, or is there something else?

Former players didn't like Tommie Frazier either. Who gives a sh#t?

 
I'm sorry, but I really could care less if the former players like the coach as long as he is taking the current team in the right direction. Doesn't mean I'm saying that the coach should help ban those players for being apart of the program, but it means that their opinion is only their opinion.

 
Part of it was the LP thing, and part of it was the sense that the homestate kid abandoned his destiny by going to Stanford, then rode in all high and mighty and was gifted the keys to the kingdom.

Also probably doesn't help that Scott is a very intense, potentially brash guy. I'm sure he didn't back down to anyone.

That was more the response I was asking about. Wasn't trying to make an endorsement for or against Frost or saying former players opinions should hold more weight.

 
Can't fault anyone for choosing to go to Stanford. I like Frost. My only concern is that he doesn't have any HC experience. I wish he'd go to a Houston or Memphis and get his feet wet. Needless to say fans would be much more patient with him, given his background.

You have to start somewhere. Why not us first? We are seeing what 40 years of coaching will get you.

 
we let Frost go to a program like Houston/Memphis, we run the risk of missing the boat on him. Who is to say if he goes someowhere first, he will even be available the same time we are looking for a coach?

Look, we are pretty much "rebuilding" now while Riley is here and for the forceable future. So why not give it to the hands of a young up and comer who can rebuild it...

I think Frost would be smart enough to surround himself with experienced coaches in the assistant positions.

Frost will only be a coordinator for so long, it's about time he gets a HC gig somewhere. And what if he just dominates at a place like Houston or Memphis? He suddenly becomes a hot name and IF we are even trying to get him we will probably have to compete with other big time programs.

It's just rare for a guy's first HC gig to be at a major program.

Stoops at OU

Weis at Notre Dame

Malzahn at Auburn

Helfricht at Oregon

Kelly at Oregon

Osborne at Nebraska

Solich at Nebraska

Petersen at Boise

Switzer at OU

Coker at Miami

Muschamp at Florida

Pelini at Nebraska

Shaw at Stanford

Richt at Georgia

O'Brien at Penn State

Bielema at Wisconsin

Swinney at Clemson

Fisher at Florida State

These are just the ones off the top of my head

Also, I've been saying for three years now, the risk of missing out on Scott because we didn't think he was ready yet, is greater than the risk of hiring him with a lack of head coaching experience and having it be bad.

Malzahn did have a year at Arkansas St., but the rest of the names are more than enough to prove a point. Honestly look at the past couple hires we've made that had head coaching experience, Callahan and Riley. I don't think experience should be a determining factor. If a guy can coach he can coach, and Frost has a great track record that he can coach. He's done it on both the offensive and defensive side.

 
Most of those coaches did decently well too.....better than Riley's stint at Nebraska and Riley had all that experience.

Admit we have a dumpster fire here and the only guy who is willing to come is Frost....let's not miss out on him. Lets just try it, it cant be worse.
