some more good stuff in here:
Oregon East? With Frost at UCF, we'll see how far Ducks' system can fly
*********************************
But Frost — who in three seasons as Helfrich's coordinator produced offenses ranked No. 2 (2013), No. 2 ('14) and No. 4 ('15) in yards per play — will be the first to set up what is essentially "Oregon East." And he'll do it at a school just two years removed from a 12-win, Fiesta Bowl championship season.
Frost faces a seemingly daunting rebuild first, what with UCF plummeting to an 0-12 season in 2015. But the "cool factor" attached to Oregon's offense should attract recruits. Presumably he'll be making a lot of living room pitches the next few months that involve some variation of "come be the next De'Anthony Thomas."
And it's a plausible sell in a fertile recruiting state that's known in particular for speed.
"The recruiting base right around here is going to be perfect," Frost said. "There's all sorts of kids around here that can run. If there's a kid who wants to play in a fast-paced, exciting offense, this is the program he'll want to look at."
Frost, a member of Kelly's original 2009 Oregon staff, has been bandied about as a candidate over the past several coaching-change cycles, so it came as a surprise to some that when he finally left, it was for a non-Power 5 program.
The former Nebraska quarterback had other opportunities, but either the timing wasn't right (he said Wednesday he did not want to leave before Mariota's eventual Heisman season) or the jobs weren't attractive enough. UCF, with its fairly recent success (it shared an American title just last year), proved a more enticing opportunity than a long-struggling Power 5 school.
"I've seen coaches that are desperate to get Power 5 jobs that go to the bottom of the conference, they coach three years and they're done. That doesn't sound fun to me," he said. "This place has a better recruiting base, good support compared to those schools. I like to win too much to go somewhere where I don't think we can get it done like this place has done."
