I went back and looked at that thread. His comments there were 10/21 and the comment I linked was on 10/22.
His comments about frost seem to be based on his theory that everyone would shoot us down. Went on to say "we may have been told no a dozen times already."
I trust Larry but gotta separate his own negative bias from his actual info which is usually spot on.
He's not saying Scott Frost is our top target. He's saying we are gonna ask a dozen people who shoot us down and then we are gonna end up at Frost and have to outbid Nebraska for him.

Yeah. Top candidate after we get turned down a dozen times.
Butch was our top candidate last time I guess.
Were looking at this two different ways. Im not saying top overall target but top target right now. He either is our top target already now that we are down the list or look for him to be he leading candidate like LWS says which means we are vetting our 2nd tier candidates and he thinks Frost will be the leading candidate.
I say that to mean it is plausible to me that he's their top target.
Your premise was that if we hire Frost it's because others turned us down and your evidence was the 2012 search. Maybe they've identified Frost as the guy and aren't going to try for Patterson, Gundy and all those cats?
Any top-notch coach has the potential to unite the fanbase. Fans just want to win, be relevant and not be ridiculed every week. Everybody likes Gruden because the whole family has Tennessee ties. But they can be more involved with UT without coaching. And the door would be open for that to happen.
For everyone who was hating on the idea of Will Healy being a candidate Why the best young coach in college football might be this man, not Scott Frost - CBSSports.com . CBS seems to think he is better than Frost

Further proof he knows nothing. Campbell isn't a possibility at all. His buyout is astronomical
Gruden is going to be the next coach, guys. Seriously. Go ahead and start letting that sink in. It's going to be A LOT of fun around here again very soon. I know it seems crazy but it's real.

He doesn't get it. He is the most stubborn coach ever and think he is smarter than everyone. He had 2 opportunities to change his career path and go from good to great in the same way that Dabo and James Franklin did when they gave up the reins of offensive completely to new hires in Morris and Moorhead. If they don't make those hires they are both prob not where they are now either. It changed their paths. Butch had that chance twice and he hired Debord and Scott. He had the chance to evolve and he didn't. He blew it and can only blame himself
Y'all can go search LWS's posts if you want. I'm not gonna link them all as many are in locked threads and I can't quote them. Use the advanced search tool and search for his posts.
You can tell if you read through them that he doesn't have a clue about who we've talked to. He does say that we have definitely approached Gruden and been shot down again. He thinks that we are gonna reach out to the big names and then we will end up on Frost after they all say no(his opinion). He doesn't think Frost is our top candidate but thinks it will quickly get to him. I kinda agree with him but I think a guy like Dan Mullen will get a call before Frost and I think we could snag him.
