What sort of offensive scheme do you think Frost will/should adopt?

The fact that we ran the ball a lot doesn't mean there weren't a lot of variations on the theme, and they were very much execution driven. 

 

 

Which is all I am asking for, a 'run the ball a lot' offense. 

There are a lot of variations on the triple option; the classics, wishbone, veer, i, and the newer versions ran by Paul Johnson, Urban Meyer, Ken Niumatalolo out of different formations. RPO is also considered a triple option offense.

We've ran the ball 57% of the time this year.

Which is an entirely different discussion than an offensive philosophy.

Throw the damn ball! 

50-50 wouldn't be too bad though.

Well as soon as we start winning, nobody's going to care about the run/pass ratio.

What Frost should and will do are likely two different things.
 
Since OP asked, I would build the offensive scheme as follows:
 
QB - preference on decision making and throwing from under center over running ability (running QB's don't survive seasons in the B1G and coach's with running QB's don't survive in the B1G), accurate (ball is where it is suppose to be, when it is suppose to be there), pocket presence (keeps plays alive with feet but continues to look downfield to throw), quick release, commands huddle, read defenses and make adjustments, leader, captain (sets standards, prepares team before game, holds guys accountable), short stop throwing ability (can make throws when the pocket is not clean)
 
RB - versatile skill set (physicality, power, vision, ball security, pass block, route running and catching valued over straight-line top end, undersized track-speed)
 
LT - pass blocking blind-side first, outside run blocking second, blocking in more open space/on the move, footwork, bend, length
 
LG - strength (starting with footwork to win leverage) to dominate one-on-one's (lead blocking for running and pocket blocking for passing), defender is less likely to shed the initial block, can stand up to bull-rush, lead blocking
 
C - leader, intelligent, makes adjustments based on how the defense (in particular the DL and LB's) aligns themselves, sets the tone (not a TE captain getting flags in key moments who is still unable to snap the ball), versatile blocker with few weaknesses rather than high's in some areas and low's in others, strength, consistency, reliable
 
RG - strength (starting with footwork to win leverage) to dominate one-on-one's (lead blocking for running and pocket blocking for passing), defender is less likely to shed the initial block, run pulling, lead blocking
 
RT - run blocking bulldozer at the line of scrimmage first, pass blocking second, size, nastiness (but in a sportsmanship way)
 
TE - the true dual threat who can block AND catch (block like a tackle and run routes & catch like a possession receiver)
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/omari-murdock-254870
 
WR X - consistently beat one-on-one coverage for gains, big and strong to beat jams at the line of scrimmage and take advantage of corners doing so during run blocking, use body to box out defenders to create a target ("win a rebound"), catch radius, red zone target (high points fades), fights for extra yards, tough to bring down

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/wyatt-sullivan-273114
 
WR Y (slot) - ability to create separation with quick bursts, quickness is more important than deep speed, catch in traffic/over the middle, can take a hit, smart (knows and takes what is needed on each play to keep drives alive rather than gambling for big plays), tough, gritty, "too small, undersized" (plays with chip on shoulder)
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2022/victor-rosa-270431
 
WR Z - deep threat, route running, stretches the safties, "center field" catching ability (high, deep balls), willing run blocker
 
FB/HB - lead run blocking, blocking in more open space/on the move, running between the tackles, break tackles, truck defenders, catch short passes out of backfield

If they aren't running 99-99.9% of the time then they are throwing the ball too darn much.

Better than saying something generic like "spread," "option" or "power" considering there are many variations on those general schemes. OP and I came here to discuss football; you came here to be a hater.
