Point? We've heard these things. Scott is out of play calling (right?), and we do have some nice additions to the roster. Cautious optimism is wise. 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I like this team a lot. Time will tell if they go 8-1 before the Michigan game, or 6-3. I love the player additions and coaching additions. I can sense HCSF is more involved in the full team than he has ever before (without being exhausted). It goes to show, with Whipp, Applewhite, Beckton, Mickey Joseph taking care of the offense (and Frost's attention also involved).... Frost can also spend time on Defense and Special Teams. Like a head coach that is more engaged in the totality of the team. If that makes sense. Should be a good year 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I know it’s unpopular, but, I hope he still has some influence on the offense, especially the run game with an improved o line. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

And he should. But also, step aside while the (other) offensive coaches do their part of it, and Frost can place more of his attention, effort and energy on other parts of the team. Without feeling overloaded. It's really a win-win situation, I think. And also, once he gets comfortable with it, we will see a whole team coming together. Quote Link to comment

I'd go as far as to say it's absurd that this is an unpopular opinion. Even though Frost is still sort of young as far as head coaches go, I'd say he's already proven himself as a good offensive mind. And I think we can even entirely throw out the 2017 UCF season and still have that statement be completely true. I think the masses believe it's an upgrade to take Frost out of direct management of the offense because the firing of the four offensive coaches was successful in convincing fans that the offense was the problem. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Whipple also in his presser - "Our guys have done a good job taking care of the ball". Definitely a good thing to hear. Fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to comment

It seems like their quotes are close but the interpretations are a bit off from the first hand. Whip seemed fairly confident I’d say. I realize he’s been thru the wars and lots of pressers over 40 years. He’s careful and is holding back some too. I’m expecting some pretty substantial offensive changes (more than tweaks and wrinkles anyway). Maybe NW will adjust quickly but they won’t be ready. I’ve expected packages of players and platoon like situations to give NW defense troubles. If we get a few TDs early the Blackshirts will turn up the heat. Chin may get aggressive. With the Defensive speed we will present and good depth rotation, I really believe Neb will shut NW down. Still feeling 35-13 but early success and last year’s score could happen. Again, offense can’t fumble and throw picks. We can run on then if Whipple will be patient. Let those big guys lean on em a lot. That’s my game plan. Lol. Hope it works. 1 Quote Link to comment
