I loved his presser from last week.
"There's 40,000 fans with ideas on what plays to call. Give them my email at #Idontcare". Classic
He is one guy that does a lot more woth a lot less. Sound, physical system....

One comp I always give Frost is dabo it took them awhile to get where they are it was a few 6-8 win games seasons and a bowl embarrassment to wvu. One thing dabo did was invest in coordinators. I know Clemson did have a skill advantage having players like Hopkins Watkins and martavious bryant on one team but Frost is gonna have to invest the way saban and dabo has and become more of a ceo

Programs are more efficient now. Dabo learned that. The Saban era demands that you get the best of the best in every area or you get crushed. Recruiting, special teams, etc. nothing can be neglected for a second.

Ya this game was bad, but from 2017 to now the defense has improved hands down. At a minimum he deserves the rest of this year and probably next before we can say he's not cutting it.
Today he went for two instead of kicking the extra point in a 9 point game. He does odd things but is a good coach.

I know frost isn't the kind of guy that's going to yell and scream and chew guys out....but I wish there was someone in the staff that was.

50 points behind? And yes the recruiting can improve that much. Give this staff at least three top 20 classes and this game likely looks a lot different.
To add. You always hear kids talk about how much "faster the game is form HS to college and then college to NFL" Although Frost has coached at the P5 level as OC and position coach, maybe the same holds true for coaching. G5 is maybe "slower/easier" than P5 and it's more of a learning curve than Frost realized being in the drivers seat. The B1G schedule is much harder than the AAC... Possibly better athletes week in and week out as well might make a successful scheme in one league not work in another (offense and/or defense).
I think it's more talent and culture, than coaching. One of the things that Callahan started and Riley pounded home was recruiting rankings. Which has warped the players and fans expectations. Rankings and stars only mean the kids have the potential, not that they'll ever reach it. Really shows when the team gets punched in the mouth and they fold over, or just by watching NW or UW.
I think what Frost is trying to recruit is a mentality to go along with physical attributes. We just need more cam taylors
I watched that and wondered WTH. You make the PAT, 2 score game. You miss and 3 score (or go for 2 again)...Odd decision for sure.
I loved Mack Brown going for 2 against Clemson.

But did they????
I think O really made more strides on the S&C side of things(namely speed improvement). He got a chance after being overlooked for Bell. How much was it Devine’s personal vestment to himself???? Quotes were said so much last year about his work ethic(staying after practice to work, last to leave the weight room, watching film all the time). Did the staff help some?? Probably some, but that may have been more of Devine doubling down on himself

So his first 4 years he just coasted and didn't work on himself? Then Frost shows up and he's like ope better work now? I don't doubt that Devine worked hard, but I'm sorry a player doesn't change drastically in one year without coaches working with him.
