I wouldn't hate this at all.  I've seen a handful of Wazzu games this year and while they're undersized, they can really run.  Would be interesting to see how his defense would translate to the Big Ten.

EDIT: The Rumor is that Scott is showing interest in hiring him as DC if he were to accept the NEB job.

That would make sense, because I expect UCF to hire their current DC as head coach, if Frost leaves.  I also wouldn't be shocked if Troy Walters sticks around as OC, so he can actually call plays at UCF.

It sounds like the prevailing feeling in the coaching community is that Frost will not bring some of his staff to Lincoln. Could be that feelers are being sent around to get an idea of who could follow him to Lincoln. I get the feeling that Moos would advocate having the best possible staff, and not just bringing in buddies like Mike did.

People's egos lead to this stuff. Everyone has a source these days. 

Sucks when people get offended so easily, doesn't it?

That is interesting since his current DC Erik Chinander has a very good reputation and came with Frost from Oregon. He also spent some time coaching in Iowa. Maybe he's staying. I was definitely cool with Chinander coming along as DC, but I'll take Grinch in a heartbeat over him.

I guess I should have read this before I posted, but I actually thought it would be the other way around, with Walters taking over as HC. Either way, if Frost comes it's not surprising if they both stay in Orlando.

Would make for awkward coaches meetings at Washington St and UCF right now

Is there a connection with Coach Frost?

I'm going to assume this is true for this post. This could be an indication that the UCF DC could be in the running to replace Scott Frost.

More awkward than a typical meeting with Leach at Washington St?

Yes.  But only slightly I would guess

I worry about this a bit.  The staff at UCF is on fire, there is nothing wrong with “bringing in the buddies” when they are all young coaches performing well.

Grinch is a great DC and would be a good get. However, I would like to see Frost bring Chinander with him. I heard he is a good recruiter and he seems to have a pretty good defense. But Grinch is a great DC and will probably be moving into a bigger program soon.

I know it's business, but wouldn't hiring someone from WSU seem a little dirty?
