What's to say Moos retires or moves on for whatever reason. Does a new A.D. retain Frost if he is doing well? Or does he go with "his" guy? Will he let Frost keep building the program or not? Just a "what if" scenario. If Frost does well the admin will make sure the new AD will be comfortable with keeping Frost in place. Link to comment

"His parents still reside in Wood River, Neb., and Tom Osborne still looms over the university and its football program. At some point, if he hasn’t already, Osborne will place a call: Are you ready to come home, he’ll ask. Frost would have to say no to his mentor and “hero in coaching,” as he called Osborne in a recent interview with USA TODAY Sports." Link to comment

It won't surprise me at all if Frosty says you have to let me finish out this year with these special kids and this special season. Personally, I think it would be classy and respectable if he requested that. These kids and UCF deserve it. We shall see. Winning a conference championship is one thing, they’re going to be in a NY6 bowl at best.... Look at past coaches they did the conference championship and then left to get cracking on their new job, Tom Herman comes to mind. Link to comment

The author is surmising that Osborne will be the one to try and convince Frost to coach here, and if he turns Osborne down he'll be disappointing his mentor. It's a little bit of fanciful writing. Moos will be the point man in the negotiations. Osborne will have a role, but it's not his show anymore. 1 Link to comment

Just blow off our recruiting then I guess. I don’t know how effective a coach could be if working for two teams. Link to comment

Seems to me the great coaches know Xs/Os and can motivate players to run through a brick wall for them. Coach Riley just couldn’t get them to that point. Riley has us where they would look for a way around a wall of toilet-paper. Link to comment

I can't name any specific ADs, but I would think it has happened. Pressure to get that "home run" hire is too great to think it hasn't happened previously. 1 Link to comment
