Coaching staff speculations?

OC: Steve Cooper
OL: Shawn Clark
QB: McKenzie Milton
WR/AHC: Sean Beckton
DC (and probably safeties/DB’s?): Alex Grinch
DL (DT/DE): Kenny Martin, Mike Dawson

Need a RB coach, TE’s coach (maybe Cooper is OC/TE?), LB coach, a CB/DB coach, and a ST coach.

I think CB Coach Trovon Reed is being retained from the prior staff. It hasn’t been officially announced, but he’s still active on Twitter communicating UCF football content. One day ago, he was tweeting about coaching the cornerbacks this year, and said it “was the first of many”. We will see…
the timing of the RB coach is confusing. Kam leaving to Tulsa even with a promotion in title made me think a replacement was decided on. Tulsa is a risky place for a rising coach to work at in the current setup of CFB.

How are we bringing in so many defensive backs (5 including Gould added today) when we haven't hired a DB coach yet? The broad hint here is Gould played for Travis Fisher in 2023 (and FWIW, committed to Frost at Neb out of HS).

Add Bellamy to the list too. That’s two former Syracuse DB’s (formerly coached by Fisher at Syracuse) committing to UCF.

Any coach that’s allocating his time to reading message boards has other problems to address.
Secondly taking them serious is a mental concern that needs to be addressed as well.

Insecurity in reading the message boards r a prime character of those coaches who do read them.
 
Former Nebraska CB coach Travis Fisher is the new UCF CB coach. Frost’s mission of getting the Nebraska band together again at UCF is almost complete.
 
Who was the RB coach with Frost at Nebraska? Probably working as an ANALyst somewhere…every single coach associated with Buddy at Nebraska has failed. He’s probably the next member to join the band.

Not our LB coach.

That was your idiot idol who promoted that random guy with no experience.
I am confident Frost will find some unqualified analysts, juco or high school coaches, or fans in the stands to fill the remaining spots.

By my count, UCF has downgraded at every football coaching spot, save DE and DT (no change). (Hell, any body was an improvement over Kam Ingram.)

As a caveat, I do like the Grinch and Clark hires.

Never heard of him, but he does have some G5 experience. At least more experience than Addison Williams had when he first came to UCF.

When you compare resumes of Gus's guys with Frost's guys, very few of Frost's guys measure up.

Let's review...

Roof > Grinch > A. Williams
Hinshaw > Milton
Harris Jr. > Cooper for sure and possibly Beckton
K. Martin and Blackmon > any analysts to be named
Hand < Clark (former FBS head coach)
A. Williams > Harris (former FSU analyst/FIU/FAU assistant)
Ingram < Dawson (b/c who isn't?)
Martin = Martin
"Ross Newton" < anybody not named Ernie Sims

If any of that is wrong, please let me know.

Actually, ANYONE Frost hires will be a dramatic improvement over Gus-the-Loser’s staff. There wasn’t a competent coach on the entire staff. All were clueless, especially Gus!

Hilarious 😆! If Gus’ staff was so awesome why did the results get worse each year? He and his staff were inept and unqualified. That’s why he took a coordinator position, because no one will ever offer him a HC spot again. He was totally exposed this time for what he is.

He is going to stick around to be condescending bc no one is as great as the washed SEC Coach who wrecked UCF’s Program at a critical time. Thank God he wasn’t leading our Program before the Big12 expanded.

Funny he doesn’t even realize this Ross Newton guy is a Gus guy who followed him from Auburn, was in some non coaching role and took over linebackers when Gus’s buddy Roof was fired. He was also the guy Kaven Call mentioned in his letter. There is zero chance he will be on the new staff.

Good luck in Dungeon. It’s way more toxic than in here. Those guys think the run athletics department.
Well I'm sure spamming fans of other teams aren't allowed in there. They're obsessive and make condescending remarks towards UCF. Yet some on this board continue to converse with them. Making them feel important. This board was alot better minus ALL of their "knowledge."
