Seems like hiring Gus was to Terry a safe hire. I would say that hiring Frost is NOT a safe hire, however, at this point we need to hire somebody that is going to set a fire underneath our offense. The other issue is who can be a good HC in the current situation of NIL and NIL money.
Only one of them already had success at UCF and would excite the fanbase
It was a mistake for President Cartwright to not fire Terry the same day as Gus.If we don't hear ANYTHING soon, like just a mention at least, i say we all meet on Memory Mall with pitchforks, tailgate a lil', then march to the Athletic Dept and demand that the radio silence be broken already. Like, they don't even have the recruits listed on the UCF Knights web page. NADA. Like, HELLO...feeding us crumbs thru Marc Daniels ain't cutting it. Give us something. (This is all rhetorical, I have no intentions of going on campus with pitchforks).
Do you think this means Frost is coming? Would FIU pick Willie Simmons over Frost?
FAU was interested in Frost but don’t know if he ever spoke to them. my hunch on Frost is he wants the UCF job and if he doesn’t get it he may stay in the NFL for a while. maybe Arizona if they fire their coach in a year or two.
It hasn’t been long. Why would you rush a hire when CFP coaches are still playing?
Normally I would agree but with the portal opening up earlier and earlier there is much more urgency
I wouldn’t think FIU is on Frosts radar. Manny Diaz probably had a lot of input in Simmons getting the FIU job The only guy who had success at FIU was the current UM HC. The worst job in D1 football in Florida by far.
If Frost was coming why wait so long to hire and post? That would seem to be inexcusable for Cartwright and Terry.
FIU should probably go FCS. They will never get solid fan support
I don’t know much about him but he’s hung onto Kiffin. Good move. I wonder if he’s the OC in the same way as Eric Bienemy.
He only posted that video on X after fans were complaining how he is MIA.
So now it sounds like we can definitely scratch him off our list. Who does that leave? Odom? Frost? Weis Jr? Stein? GOL? Golesh? Have no head coach and let the quarterback draw the plays up in the sand?
"UCF offensive coordinator Tim Harris has spoken to the school in-depth about his head coaching vacancy; so, too, has Willie Simmons, the former record-setting FAU head coach who's spent the past season on Manny Diaz's Duke staff.
Why don’t you go home ? They miss u."UCF offensive coordinator Tim Harris has spoken to the school in-depth about his head coaching vacancy; so, too, has Willie Simmons, the former record-setting FAU head coach who's spent the past season on Manny Diaz's Duke staff.
"Harris is a South Florida native with several seasons' experience as an FIU assistant coach and a beloved figure in the Miami community after serving as both a prep football coach there and starring for the Hurricanes' track and field program.
"Simmons also is a former Florida high school coach with several seasons recruiting the state from his work atop the FAMU program. "
FTR, I take none of this seriously,...
But still... To even see it written ina published report...
Athletic Directors matter …that could be the reason interest is rumored to not be as expected..this would not be happening with Danny White
But didn't it? Heupel wasn't close to being the first choice in 2018. And wasn't he the 5th or 6th offer at Tenn?
Usually a search firm is hired and it takes between 1-3 weeks to get a coach. Not sure why someone would say we have a new coach in less than a week. I’m more concerned the AD is making a unilateral decision.
Facts is facts....this has happened to White.
Normally, taking 2-3 weeks wouldn't be questioned.....but the combination of NSD and the portal have a devastating effect.
