Good Friends, I'm wrestling with this whole idea of whether Coach Frost should coach our bowl game. Please consider joining me on this thought journey and please excuse my rant.
Side Note: I don't have any issue with Coach Frost returning to Coach his alma mater. We all knew it was coming. When he came on board, he told us one of the reasons he came to UCF was because he wanted to come to a program he could turn around quickly...I'm confident most of us took that as a complement, and it was...well, sort of. He really needed a place to land and turn around quickly in order to be in a great position to accept his dream NU job. You know, the program whom his pencil-dick wide receiver buddy kept him constantly looped into and arranged that infamous "Judas kiss" meeting after our team's Last Supper meal in Philly. Please excuse the religious references but we're in the advent season after all.
How about we start here...when considering this proposition remember, Coach Frost and his staff once worked EXCLUSIVELY (supposedly) for UCF. We recently learned while exclusively on UCF's payroll (or so we assume), Coach was meeting over a Philly cheese-steaks with the Nebraska AD the night before an important game. BTW - would someone make certain Honest Abe didn't submit Bill Moos' portion of the check on Coach's expense report? The next week, our defense yielded 42 points and made a strong case for Q Flowers Heisman campaign, as he put up 500+ yards against us. Of course, we were all thrilled for the victory as it assured our place in the Championship Game while sealing the fate of those dastardly Bulltards. There were plenty of reasons to be unsatisfied with our performance though. Can you imagine how we'd feel if we lost that game and learned what we know now? Woof....
While Memphis has a formidable offense, our defensive "game plan" in the Championship Game was a pathetic show...one can't help but wonder if ole' Chins dusted off their September game plan and thought, "this effort will surely help me get a head start on Lincoln". I realize our tackling was poor and the coaches can't do that but isn't fundamentally tackling the first to go when things begin to unravel?
We know a players only meeting was called on Tuesday. It was reported here the meeting was necessary in response to lackluster practices and a lack of focus. If that's true, I'm a bit mystified why Coach Frost stated in the AAC pre-game press conference, the players and coaches were, "dialed in all week". He went on to say, (paraphrased) if we played in the game as we've been practicing all week, he felt good about our chances. Sorry but a very O'Leary-ish way of deflecting. In other words, if only the players perform well, we'll win...conversely (implied), if the players DON'T play well, we'll lose. I won't argue the need for players to play well but with our inside knowledge of how practices were really going, he was placing the outcome strictly on the players and NOT accepting any responsibility for the clear distractions circling his entire locker room and program. If you agree with Coach Frost's pregame analysis, then you have to admit he wasn't very "dialed into" how the team was performing nor was he focused on the discord between his team leaders and non-performers on the team.
Some have reported here about rumors of our assistant coaches searching for houses and doing pretty much anything except preparing for a huge AAC Championship game Pure speculation again, but I wonder if our defensive players were realizing the lack of focus and preparation from Chins (two weeks in a row), we were losing that side of the ball, so that's why the captains called the group together after Tuesday's practice.
Also, someone would to be completely clueless to believe the staff just started assessing potential Nebraska recruits on Sunday. I'm confident just about everyone on this forum knows you don't just go throwing around scholarship offers w/o fully assessing a player's ability, character AND contribution to your NU roster w/o knowing what you've got waiting for you in the cornfields. Coach Frost boldly proclaimed "we've already got boots on the ground" when asked by a reporter (during his Sunday meeting with the Cornhusker faithful) about his game plan for early recruiting. I guess the Frost's high energy goons were able to play a championship game, attend a postgame press conference ending at 6:30 PM, take a car ride to Miami, visit a handful of recruits and drive back to Orlando in time to get on board the midnight Red Baron Express. After all, our guy had a big shindig to mosey off to. For those of who watched the, "what the hell did I just come back to?" boner fest. It was funny observing Coach Frost's body language and eyes as he processed what his new boss admitted happened in Philly. He probably thought, "crap, they know I'm full of shit now". Then he came to senses, it was that crusty old coot, Bill Moos, who I'm told smelt like shit because he left that Philly sandwich in the pocket of that suit like the one Kevin Bacon’s sidekick in Footloose wore to the high school dance...along with his mismatched Buster Browns with taps on the heels.
We've known that Coach Frost talked with his daddy and Tom "go for two because I look like a pedophile" Osborne for hours, really? BTW - thanks for inviting that condescending prick onto our campus, Coach. A man who you admit played a key role in your decision to return "home". We learned today, in a sappy bullshit sentimental piece from Pat Clark, that Frost poured out his heart once again to Marc Daniels and Pat. I've never seen a grown man, going "home to a special place", for his dream job and for ridiculous money cry so damn much. Danny White stated in his presser Frost kept him in the loop. Even everyone on this forum knew it was coming...yet, the assistant coaches were completely clueless? OK...
But seriously, earning the privilege to "lead" our beloved Knights program again...I'm just not so sure. I guess it would depend if we were getting Coach Frost prior to the Austin Peay game...you know, the Coach who'd be out running scout team offense to help the defense prepare for Navy. That guy was committed and focused. According to the Nebraska message board and some of our most clued in Dungeonites, post-Navy was the time when murmurs of changes coming began finding their way to ole Frosty. And, with all the facts coming to light which fly square in face of our Coach's testimony, please forgive me for not being able to reconcile this great man of character from a bullshit snake oil salesman.
I’ve got it! Perhaps we agree to consider bringing back the other 95% of our former staff that Coach Frost took for our bowl game if Chins submits a 6 pager on his defensive “plan” to review before December 17th. Once we determine whether this clever scheme will yield 40, 50, 60 or 70 points, we should also require Nebraska’s Coach Frost send his scripted gameplan. We’ll need to determine if a 600 total yard and 49 point effort will keep us in the game. We need to insist Danny require Coach Frost and his group of remora fish take a mandatory lie detector test. We should craft our questions carefully re: commitment, focus and will to win this game for the players he shit on. We just want to be certain he doesn't start crying again, to our detriment (again) after this game. See You Gents in Atlanta. Go Knights! Charge On!
