Per Juan Toribio --

I've been trying to hold it off until after the game, but at this point everybody knows what's going on.

Saturday will be the last game Scott Frost coaches at UCF. The decision has been made, and it had been made for quite some time now. Frost has already talked to his staffers, but has yet to tell his team because he doesn't want them to think about it during Saturday's game.

I'm told that the ultimate decision was made because Frost wants to be the coach that turns Nebraska into the powerhouse that they were when he played there in the 90's. He enjoyed turning UCF around so much, that he feels he can do the same for his alma mater. Not everyone is happy with moving to Lincoln, but this just felt like his destiny.

While the players don't know for sure, most of them are aware of what's going on. Shaquem Griffin and Rory Coleman held a players-only meeting on Tuesday after two "horrible" practices, according to sources. Coleman had a lot to say to the team, mostly just telling them that it doesn't matter who the coach is, they're really close to winning a ring. After the talk, the team has responded with three good practices and they look ready to go for Saturday's game. We'll see if that translates on to the field against a very good Memphis team.

But back to Frost.

The two questions now are: when does Frost tell the team and who on the staff does he take with him?

While I'm not sure when Frost decides to tell his team, there's a chance the team finds out on social media before Frost stands in front of the team and says his goodbyes. If the team wins on Saturday, Frost might elect to wait until Sunday to not take away from the team's accomplishments. The news (I guess starting with this one) will already be out.

As for his staff, I'm told Ryan Held, Zachary Duval, Mario Verduzco, Erik Chinander, Barrett Ruud and Greg Austin are the one's he's taking. I haven't been able to confirm or deny any of the other staffers, except for Sean Beckton. He won't be going to Nebraska. Chinander could be the only one that goes before the bowl game as Frost doesn't want to leave his team without a staff for the bowl game.

UCF has a good chance at winning a third AAC championship on Saturday, but it'll be the last game with Frost on the sideline. The ink is dry.

===================================================================
This almost confirms what I have heard about Nebraska keeping their WR, DL, and DB coach.
UCF fans, do you think Troy Walters will be offered the job?

If Troy Walters is offered the job, he would definitely take it. He was already rumored as a possible candidate for Rice head coach.

Question is, would DW offer it to him. Heard DW might be trying to make another splash hire.

Would you want Troy as the HC?
 
Frost taking Chinander before our bowl game would be a low class move. Frost does not need to take anyone before our bowl game.

Not trolling you whatsoever, but it isn't really low class. It has everything to do with recruiting, and the early signing period. I think you would see this even at UCF. I think they are going to try to get their guy in place ASAP so the recruits know, and that they can make sure they hit all of the kids who plan on signing by the 20th. This is the reality in CFB these days.

I will call this a "rumor" because I do not recall the source the radio cited. I had heard a day or two ago that UCF has already hired a search firm, this would suggest it wont be Troy Walters. Don't take this 100% to heart but I did hear it on the radio. Not meant to be a troll post, or to cause any argument.

I was wondering if your sources are still saying he is staying?! ;)

I'll wait until the bitter end :grimace:

Then again, UCF is 11-0 and Nebraska is
4-8, so who's really the miserable ones?

The envious team sitting at home or the team with 2 more games? [roll]

I suspect UCF would keep their defensive coaches since one of the is a UCF alum and i believe was on GOLs staff too. Sean Beckton is a fixture on the UCF staff. I hope hes quickly retaining knowledge of the coaches he's been with. Frost not coaching in the NY6 if sad. Urban Meyer at least made it to the Fiesta Bowl to co-coach his last game.

If we can retain Austin or Held, his article suggests we retain the exact coaches I menioned. Maybe his source is my post.

My sources aren't happy with Frost, that's for damn sure. They feel betrayed and mislead. I wish someone would get the wife's firsthand view about this. Doubt she's thrilled about going to Nebraska

That's Frost's problem

My source is happy.

His wife... unsure if you are married, BUT I’m sure his wife knew what his dream job was. I’m sure she knows what being a coaches wife entails as well,ya know? Maybe she isn’t excited to be going to Lincoln, I don’t know, but, that’s between he and his wife.

Your telling me Frost cannot pick up the phone and call the >25 people who made verbal commitments to Nebraska? He cannot pick up the phone and call the...maybe 15-40 kids that are uncommitted that Nebraska might be interested in?

Frost can go...everyone else needs to stay for the bowl game.

Usually, this decision will be up to Danny White. That being said, do you want a guy who is recruiting for his new team to be coaching his old team? That’s usually what happens. Sometimes, they move Ga’s in to coaching areas.

Another thing to add, some of the fanbase already feels that Frost is the answer. Why so quick to add recruits when the timetable for success doesnt seem to be immediate? Frost follows a talent evalaution method created by Chip Kelly. The current players will be reviewed and he will identify their worth to his team. They're acting like this is a first year program trying to sign up players.
 
I cannot be angry at Scott Frost for this. Obviously I am not happy but it comes as no surprise. I still think it is not as good a hire as many NE fans beleive it to be, but we will find out.

Lol, lots of ignored content in this thread. But who really cares about them? They are ignored so what they have to say doesn't matter.

I’m glad to hear we hired a search firm. Sorry, I don’t want Walters. He’s had one year (maybe) calling plays in this offense, and we aren’t even sure he is doing that. He seems like a nice guy and I’m sure he is a good coach, but he is not the right person to take over this program at this point in time.

I probably will be reported and banned, but I don't care. I'm just tired of reading all the troll posts, even those that try to hide their true intentions behind patronizing BS. The difference is I am not on your boards posing questions such as "do you really think Scott Frost is the answer to your all the problems Nebraska football is experiencing?" But I'm not because I'm not a douche, soooooo....

yeah i agree here, he needs to hit the ground running if he wants to have any success in his first class. He has NO qb to use from day 1 there, he really needs to have already started recruiting kids in all honesty.

He will be fine at QB. Tristan Gebbia can run this offense or Joe Burrow who is currently at Ohio State is a prospect as well. Gebbia will have a learning curve but is athletic enough to run this.

What Frost does need, a Tackle and a Running Back. I don’t think we have a back on staff that can truly thrive.
TBH I think ol is where we will still struggle next year.
