Nebraska bound if offered.
Hmmm ... anyone w any insight ?
he wouldn't want the pressure of his alma matter, and Tennessee is easier to recruit, with better talent close by, stadium, and facilities. yes i know Tennessee is a pressure cooker as well, but its different when its your school. if money is comparable and we want him, he's ours.
Scott Frost would be an excellent coach and recruiter. I think if John Currie is allowed to make hire, he will put his personal stamp on this hire by choosing an offensive coach like Frost.

You can't help but wonder how many athletic directors have Frost in mind at the moment. In that regard, you really have to wonder about Tennessee AD John Currie.
Something Frost told me last year sticks in my mind when his name arises in job speculation. As we talked about why he was so patient in waiting for the right head-coaching job (he turned down multiple offers before taking over at UCF in December 2015), he emphasized the school's strong recruiting base.
"There are recruits everywhere around us," he said. "I knew I wanted to run an offense similar to what we ran at Oregon (an uptempo spread), and I don't think you can do that in a lot of places. In Orlando, we should be able to get the type of players that allow me to run exactly what we were running at Oregon and try to put up the same numbers offensively. That really drew me to this job."
Speed became interwoven in the Oregon brand. He wants the same at Central Florida.
"We're right smack dab in the middle of Florida," Frost said. "Almost every high school in this state is running a version of what we're going to run. Kids are used to playing in it. Kids are going to want to play in our system. There's speed down here everywhere you turn."
Think Scott Frost would rather come to Tennessee than Nebraska. It would be an exciting brand of football.

Frost not in play. Look for another Dooley type hire. Take your top 10, write them off, then go to 11-20 and youll find the new HC there.
Someone making ~$900K a year right now, in a mid level conference, with a losing record.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Tennessee football.
