That was the narrative but looking back we should have known better. Frost left for Stanford and transferred back into a well oiled machine. He also was not well liked if I recall and got ragged on by other players for lacking qualitites/traits they desired. He was a part of the environment, but had no influence on creating it or keeping it going, others did. That is exactly how his coaching tenure turned out as well, he couldn't create a strong environment himself and we carried right on being soft, weak, and full of sprinkles.
