Dude, UCF barely had the money to pay the buyouts of Gus's assistant coaches. No money was left over to pay Gus's buyout or hire any respectable head coach or assistants. What's funny is UCF fans think they landed a Big Fish.On the Scott “Buddy” Frost hire:
1. UCF did not have the money to hire an active P4 HC…they would have to pay him more than what he was making at his current job + the buy out. This was never going to happen.
2. UCF offered to job to Jon Sumrall and Barry Odom and both turned the job down.
There is zero chance Prime would go to a directional Florida school in any universe. Even the transformational changes Gus made weren't enough.3. Prime and Riley was b.s. “leaked” by Mohajir. Neither guy had the slightest interest in the UCF job. Maybe in an alternative universe UCF would be able to afford either of those guys.
No. It was nostalgia and nostalgia alone. Same reason Mac Brown went back to UNC.4. Scott “Buddy” Frost was hired…#1 reason: It was a hype move. That’s all.
However...
Like in the movie Big Fish (2003), when Edward Bloom (Frost) returns to Spectre (Orlando), he will discover the conditions have changed.
