Yeah, I really think it's Frost's time. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I don't entirely disagree either. The homecoming is going to happen. And it just might work out.

 

I'm not sold on him just yet but there is no doubt he's brought a very positive change to UCF so far. If they keep improving and we keep playing like we are I'd say it's a move we need to make.

Here are 4 guys that we should seriously consider and none of them our beyond our reach.

 

Frost - obviously.

Aranda - promotion to head coach so he would seriously consider.  

Fuente - I know he is fairly new at VT.  Looks to be making $3.2 mil.  Probably need to offer $4.5 mil to pull him over.

Patterson - looks to be making $4 mil.  We'd need to go over $5 mil.  We should have considered him before.  Timing was right for him 3 years ago.  

 

If these teams have disappointing years these jobs may be open competing with us...Tennessee, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and more.  Look at who's #2.  http://coacheshotseat.com/

How is Mora way down at #15 and Butch Jones at #17. They should be much higher.

Gill has succeeded wherever he's gone save for Kansas, and when you have boosters undermining your authority because of your history of playing for Nebraska and casting racially-based dispersions about you and your character because you have a white wife...yeah, Gill never got a fair shake at Kansas. His other stops borne success, and I'd dare say if he's hired to coach a FBS school that isn't as backward as Kansas (or their fans), he'd continue to succeed.

 

Having said this, I don't think Gill would be a good fit for what we have on hand--if we're looking for a long-term rebuild, then perhaps, but not if we're trying to turn this thing around in a year or two tops.

Also, what about Greg Schiano? He resurrected Rutgers from being a 0-fer team with a run-oriented offense before he left to try his hand at the NFL. 

 

 

 

 

 

Schiano is bigger jerk than Pelini if that's possible. I hope we don't go down the path of failed NFL coaches... again.

His failed stint in the NFL doesn't outweigh what he did at Rutgers IMO. Building that program into a winner was amazing. Regarding his personality, I am betting the mix of NFL humble pie and time under Urban has given him some perspective. The man knows how to build a winner with less than ideal resources and situation, he would have a ton of resources at DONU and would know how to compensate for the immediate lack of fertile recruiting ground with resources he didn't have at Rutgers.

Maybe this is a little further out of left field than I thought, but what about UTSA's Frank Wilson?

He's going to be a P5 coach soon, why not ours? The guy is a great recruiter, and he took UTSA to a bowl game. Sure we can look down at the 6-7 record, but that's in year 1 without his recruits and doubling the previous year's win total. He's already off to a great start this year....
