Not to mention that Beck also has some OC experience at the College level, albeit a lower level. Overall I think this step is the next logical progression for Beck, I think he will be good.
We have one poster stating that it will be Warriner and Beck, this is my hope, and another stating just Beck. Both saying Frost is a maybe. The press is saying Beck in one fashion or another, but with playcalling duties. So Beck is solid as the playcaller, question is if anyone will be splitting the OC role with him and how the other positions get filled as a result. I would LOVE Warriner to come and coach OL and be CO-OC, this is now my favorite option per my reasons previously posted, but I would be ok if they gave Frost a CO-OC title and a position duty. Frost could help in game planning and still coach a position and mature as an offensive coach. I would be ok with that I suppose. It brings another ace recruiter and pretty good coach to the staff. He would also be a logical successor to Beck when Beck decides to take a promotion.
As for the comment that when Bo leaves Beck goes with him, I don't agree with that. Beck will be the OC here, if he does well then it is logical, assuming he has ambition and I think we can all agree based upon his resume he does, that he will look to be a HC somewhere. Most likely first at a mid-level or lower level program. Bo won't be leaving before Beck's name gets tossed around, the assumption being he does a fine job with this new opportunity. Beck will most likely leave before Bo, only options I see Bo leaving for is maybe the NFL and/or OSU, so it would be nice to have a quality coach groomed to be the successor. That timeline would also make it possible that, again assuming Frost's career remains on an upward path, for Frost to possibly succeed Bo. 2-4 years as a CO-OC, another 2-4 as the sole OC, take a lower tier HC job for 2-4, take a mid-tier to upper tier job 2-5 years, and then his dream job of HC at DONU opens up as Bo might be ready to retire by then; all of this is assuming that both Bo and Frost remain successful. Just a thought.
I also like the thought of Frost eventually becoming our head coach. I can't definitively answer whether or not he's ready for an OC job at this point in his career, but I'd really like for him to be on the staff sooner than later. I honestly don't see Pelini retiring as our head coach, although I wouldn't mind seeing it. And even if Bo did retire as our head coach, you have to remember he's only 7 years older than Frost. By the time Pelini would retire, Frost wouldn't be too far behind. I'd just like to have Frost as a part of the program for if/when Bo decides to leave. That way we could at least have some continuity with the staff. Of course, this is assuming that Frost "lives up to the hype," which is something I believe he is more than capable of. I like my Oregon-offense-flavored Kool-Aid.
