Love the UCF hiring of Oregon's Scott Frost. Spread offense coming to Orlando

Yeah that was a great hire. I think he's going to be the next big thing coaching wise. Wish he went to Syracuse though and it's highly concerning how he chose UCF coming off a winless season over Cuse

 

[imlive365]

Brandon odoi on twitter just said expect the decision tomorrow. Players were notified they would be told tomorrow

 

[rook]

Tis about par for the course

That OU loss to Texas still bothers me to this day lol. You get upset by your biggest rival on a neutral field; that's fine. But the way they lost was shocking by a team as good as OU.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

no wonder Frost chose UCF, Syracuse is lowballing. Not a good look to other candidates.

Frost's name has been tossed into coaching searches since his first year as offensive coordinator in 2013, when he interviewed at Boise State. In 2014, he was reported to have turned down Colorado State's head coaching job.

Late this season, multiple sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive, Frost notified several within UO that he planned to leave, believing the time was right to lead a program himself.

"He was sure of it," a source said. "It was time to go."

Over the weekend Syracuse — whose athletic director had been at Boise State in 2013 — offered the job to Frost with a starting figure close to $1.2 million, according to a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity. The figure is in line with the salary fired Orange coach Scott Shafer earned this year. Frost wanted to keep his options open, however, and quickly received an offer from Central Florida.

I thought Cuse was spending all that money on facilities n **** why be cheap now?

 

[therealrell]

I just got to work and when I saw that number I almost fell out of my seat. Shows what Chancellor Syverud thinks of the Syracuse University football program. Great start to the coaching search. He clearly doesn’t see this as a priority. Who is going to come to here with a number as insulting as that? He should have kept Shafer on board if he was going to insult Frost with that offer. This is ********. This number falls in line with his new mission to scale back and cut spending due to the previous administration's blunders. All of this ACC money that Gross wasted on non-revenue sports and none of it has benefited football. We're a god damned joke.

This is why they'll be ****** for a long time. All that money they sit on smh

Now I'm seeing that it was 1.8 million on a four to five year deal but Frost only wanted a two year deal.

From the Syracuse Scout reporter:

I was told the number Syracuse offered Frost was actually around $1.8-$2.0 million in base salary. Issue wasn’t money it was years (1/2)

Frost wanted a 2 year contract, Syracuse wanted a 5 year contract. That was the impasse. Syracuse would not go to 2 years

[Bobby Layne]

Frost is waiting for that Nebraska job 

 

[rook]

Frost is waiting for that Nebraska job

How are you feeling about the hire Cardo?

I know some people don't like defensive hires like that (word to muschamp)

I never wanted Kirby, but all the recruits love him. Georgia shouldn't have to settle for a coordinator but I'll wait til he fills out his staff before I decide if I like the hire or not tho. Seems to be retaining a 1/3 of Richts staff

SEC East gonna be all defensive guys :x

Who did you want taking over for Richt?

 

[imlive365]

Odoi literally knows nothing

I remember he used to be affiliated with the beast so I guess I take him partially serious

 

[nako xl]

Did Schiano interview for the Syracuse job?

 

[imlive365]

I hope so. Take him far away from miami

 

[nako xl]

Helton said he has been in contact with Sarkisian, and Helton indicated the former Trojans coach is doing well.

"Coach is in a tremendous place right now, and I'm very proud of him," Helton said. "He is a terrific man and a terrific coach, and I can't wait to see him back on the football field one day doing what he loves. He is good for college football, and - yes, sir - he's doing very well and I'm very proud of him."

 

[cash money 1999]

Schiano in Syracuse would be a pretty good fit

 

[nako xl]

@WhoYouThink Get back in here and tell us about your head coach abandoning that sinking Cal Bear ship. Don't only show face when you think things are good.

@TheOregonDuck

Delete my number! K bye @coach_frost

[h1]Sources: Jim Hackett stepping down as interim Michigan AD[/h1]
Hackett is expected to make a formal announcement at some point in the next week. The Detroit Free Press first reported the athletic department's impending change in leadership. The university has been planning for Hackett's departure for the past month, but Hackett wanted to wait until the conclusion of the football team's regular season to make it official.

It's basically confirmed that Clay Helton hire was 100% a call by the big boosters and pre-Carrol era players. The team was unanimously in support of him too.

Welp. Guess
