How could Frost be successful at UCF but fail so badly at Nebraska? I’m actually a little confused by that.

I’m assuming some combination of lack of local recruiting base and the B1G being a tougher conference than ESPN’s financial interests would indicate.

Edit: I guess he was only at UCF for two seasons and it looks like the undefeated season might have been a fluke as his only winning record as a head coach.

I do not envy them trying to find the answer at HC if they move on from Frost.

UCF also went through the regular season undefeated the year after Frost left and won 10 games the year after. So it's kind of a curiously odd case. Maybe just the right combination of players who played really well together for whatever reason?

It's not like he's just had a hard time with the better B1G teams either, its a total struggle, in 3 years his best wins are over 7-6 Sparty and Gopher teams in his first season.

Two words to these fuckers: Frank. Solich.

Not that he’s some God of coaching, or that he would have won national titles, or even that he could have stayed any more sober than Gary Moeller. But when they unceremoniously shitcanned him after a 9-3 season to chase the flavor of the month, they summarily killed Saint Toms entire institutional culture of winning in the process. Sorry, not sorry, I feel the same for them as I did when UNC basketball fired Guthridge after going to 2 Final 4s...fuck you, you got what you deserve.

Hell they fired Pelini after he won at least 9 games for 4 years too :lol:

Eichorst stated at a press conference that Pelini hadn't won "the games that mattered the most" against top-tier opponents despite having significant resources at his disposal.

Well now you are lucky to win any games..........

Scott Frost is basically Diet Harbaugh. It's for when you want the Harbaugh Experience with less hype, less success, and less batshit insanity.

Frankly, I suspect that he's be more successful in AA than he is in Lincoln. Kind of the opposite of what John Nash said when he went from MIT to Princeton he said that he lowered the IQ at both places. If Frost went from UNL to AA both places would likely be better than they are now.

I'm not convinced if that is a compliment or otherwise.

Rivals recruiting team ranking...

2017: #20
2018: #21
2019: #15
2020: #17
2021: #19 (Cheese #15)

They don't have any 5 stars, but you would still think with that recruiting consistency (and good coaching) they would have a competitive/contending team for the B1G West Championship. The only B1G West team with a higher ranked class was Cheese in 2021 (#15) and they haven't even played yet. Corn just has some problems, they are getting less results (i.e. wins) than what you would expect from the sum of the individual parts (i.e. players).

It helps that UCF is one of the largest schools in the country is in a city, state with better weather than Lincoln, NE. Can also draw from local talent, but it seems that they're hitting up most of the SE pretty hard. Nebraska is a tough pull for recruits, and its even harder when they're not winning
