We all saw the very public bashing of UCF's relations with former players on social media recently. Looks like Frost and company are already at work trying to do something about it.
Reaching Out to Former Players

Frost and Co. Seem to be doing all the right things these days. Can we sign him to a lifetime contract?
Someone has some hidden funds somewhere

Waiting on MSW tweet that they have inadequate arch support.
You're getting Holman's shoes since hopefully he won't be needing them
much.

The more and more I see and hear from Frost the more I like him! Definitely the right guy for the job.
UCF Alumni better have a plan to keep him in Otown. At some point he's going to be made offers which we'd better be prepared to counter.
I got 5 on it...
every golf club in the city needs to give him the VIP treatment in the Spring, exploit his love of Golf

I would say after next year. However, if we get into the P5 this could be his baby. Like one of those immortal coaches who stays around forever. Ultimately, it's a lot about the money and how he's treated.
IMO Nebraska is not a better gig and they are winning, so they are unlikely to fire their coach.
Just going with the original post of us maybe getting P5, then I'd think he'd laugh if Oregon came calling. Just judging on past comments of how difficult it was getting Fla. kids to go to Oregon, compared to getting kids to walk across the street and see a P5 UCF. No P5, then he leaves.
It's not 100% that there would be an opening and they would hire him or he would take the job.
Also. P5 UCF > Oregon
If we don't get to P5, then at the present course after the 2017 season is a real worry.
Honestly, with P5, I truly believe that this would be a top 10-15 job in the nation. The ceiling is unlimited. The pressure to win big is actually very low here compared to a lot of big name schools.
Chip Kelly will be available in 3 more weeks. Problem solved.
yeah he's mentioned that in the Spring about the playing close to home selling point that won with Killins for example. He can load up this offense with undersized speedsters and be very successful. It's a great geographical fit for his offense.
UCF can't compete financially with Oregon, Nebraska, etc staying in the G5. Without a Big12 invite or another P5 soon it will be tough to keep him when they are offering to double or even triple his salary. The only equalizer is location and quality of life that might keep him here longer than most expect. If you polled D1 jobs just on where coaches would prefer to live, UCF would be near the top of the list
It's important to remember that by all accounts Frost was offered P5 HC jobs already and turned them down (Maryland and Syracuse - two prestigious universities in big conferences but severely disadvantaged in football terms when compared to the heavyweights in their conference). So we know he wants to be somewhere with a built-in advantage over the rest of the conference he's in because that = wins.
Question to everyone: How many P5 level jobs like that do you think there are in the country? Places like Michigan and Ohio State who can almost always be counted on to pound on the Indiana's and Purdue's of their P5 conference.

I wasn't aware that he turned down the Maryland job. It's not a bad job. I think UCF is paying Frost $1.7 million and Durkin is making 2.5 million. I think the Syracuse job is somewhere between the 2. No way that the Syracuse job will ever be better than UCF.
I'm sure UCF can pay him 2.5-3.0 miliion as a G5 coach, but probably not higher, because he will ask for raises for the assistants.
Can fans and alumni/boosters "donate" Frost and coaches money directly? Don't they pay the mortgage on Nick Saban's house?
Yep, that came out just before we faced Maryland this year.

Correct. The great myth is that it's all about economics. It's more like a huge country club. Virtually all athletic programs lose money -- they are set up to spend it all (and then some). But donor are what makes it work. Whoever has the fattest donors can offer the most. While oil was king, LSU as well as the Big 12 schools could thumb their noses at the economics. Now with oil barons bleeding money, big coaching packages may shift elsewhere and also begin to stabilize.
