At this point, if tressel is not happening, I would say hire frost. He has already said he would hire experienced coordinators. I think that the risk/reward is with it. If he doesn't work out at least we know. I just am not impressed with Mullen, Patterson is a pipe dream, csu coach is going to Florida. I know it only been two days, but I'm having a hard time being confident in what happens now....
The upside to frost is that he would be in for the long haul. He would be coaching at home. The downside, he better hit home runs on his staffing hires. It's not a bad option, just a risky one.
It's a risk, sure, but so are most of the other names. Like you said, he would be here for the long haul, loves the program. Etc.....
if he is truly the up and coming coach that so many are saying, it's best to get in on the ground floor. We wait too long and go for a "name" right now, frost may get a big job that he won't leave. I don't know, I keep going back and forth, I'm just not impressed with any "big names" being tossed around, except tressel. If we are going for Mullen, or someone like him I'd rather go after pj fleck, or some other up and coming coach. But hell, what do I know?
