Frost being talked about seriously for first time
Scott Frost – Most coaches we’ve spoken with believe Frost is a better candidate at both Florida & Nebraska; but we heard from a coach yesterday “Frosty could wind up in on Tennessee.” Separately one coach told us last week UCF AD Danny White is telling people in the profession he does not expect Frost to leave UCF. Its one thing to say that publicly; but to say it to industry insiders is interesting.

Danny White was one of my Hero's when I was growing up........this must be a sign.





Although I know it's a different "Danny White."

Don't believe the smoke. Frost is going to be the next coach at Nebraska. Yes, as a Nebraska fan that makes me happy. I think he will do a great job there. He understands the history and the culture. Hopefully he has us back to relevant sooner than later.

From an outsiders perspective, I think Dan Mullen would be a great hire for Tennessee. He knows the SEC and has won with what I would consider inferior talent at MSU. May not be the most "sexy" hire, but, if I'm a Vol fan, he'd be my #1.

This is certainly an "if" however if FL hires Chip and A&M hires Jimbo Fisher........do you really want Mullen at Tennessee?

Tennessee still has to play Saban, Smart, and an up swing Muschamp.

I keep warning Vol fans that UCF is not the doormat they believe it to be and that the turnaround Frost has had has already be done at UCF. In 2004, the year before O'Leary came on campus they were 0-11. His first year they went 8-5.

UCF has the largest student population in America. Their facilities and campus are impressive. They are in the hotbed of college football talent.

So 2004 is the reason frost is successful.

It also took O'Leary 9 seasons to get that 0-11 team to the level Frost has it now.

Yes he had some good seasons, but it took 9 to get them their 12-1 season......and they still started 2-1.

I would not be so certain Frost to Nebraska is such a done deal as many think. I see the UCLA opening luring Chip Kelly there as a bigger threat to us having a very good chance to land Frost. I agree Mullen is not bad either but I believe at this point Scott Frost is Curries #1 target and will offer whatever he has to get him. So will Florida unfortunately assuming Kelly turns them down for the UCLA job he has been quoted as saying is the one job he would want.

Frost is very qualified and a very good fit. So is Mullen. They should be UTs top two targets, imo.

I won't be at all surprised if Mullen is announced as UT's next HC within a week or two.

I sense that Currie is much farther along in the search and hiring process than it appears.

Jackie Sherrill did more at Miss St than Mullen has. Mullen has more bowl appearances only because there are 259 bowls now. Sherrill not only would get Miss St ranked during the season, he wouldn’t blow it down the stretch. Mullen might sniff a couple ten win seasons at Tennessee, but he’d never get us to the promised land.

Jackie Sherrill was 74-76-2 at Mississippi State.....Dan Mullen is 69-45.

In what possible universe is winning 49% of your games “doing more” at a school than winning 61% of your games?

Considering that Sherrill posted 6 losing seasons in his 13 years there, when did he ever have anything to “blow”? And if he “wouldn’t blow it down the stretch”, how many championships did he win in the 7 seasons (out of 13) when he didn’t actuslly lose more games than he won?

You really should do just a little bit of homework before you post.

They weren't till Frost showed up. Thanks for proving my point.

O'Leary had quite a few double digit win seasons including a 12-1 year. It's not like he's doing the impossible. They definitely aren't a powerhouse it takes sustained success to get that label. If he had a history of double digit wins or had proven he's more than a one year wonder I would get the hype some have. But this happens every year. There's always atleast 1 coach every year who gets a bigger name job based off 1 good year and very few maintain much success. The exact same hype was on Fleck last year and I wouldn't have wanted him anywhere near Knoxville. Frost hasn't done anything as a HC to deserve being a HC at a big name football school. What if he stayed at UCF and went 5-7 next season? How many fans would still be saying he is a National Championship Coach? He's as much of a risk as Dooley and Butch were. No big time head coaching experience just some success at a Mid Major.

My summation is that NO ONE is qualified to coach the Vols. Should we just cancel football altogether? No need in bringing all.of these unqualified candidates that have not coaches in the SEC, won a championship, not been fired, and beaten Saban.

I just have a gut feeling that Currie has his man and it will be Frost. I might be way out in left field but watching Currie and doing research on
his personality Frost is his type of coach. I also believe Mullen is in play.

Agree especially after a conversation I had last night with someone more keyed in than me. I knew Currie went to see him coach during the bye week before Butch was even let go. According to my friend Frost is Curries #1 and will pay more than Nebraska to get him. I think his list is

Frost
Mullen

The wildcard possibilities like Patterson, Peterson, Taggart and even Schiano, Norvell and Brohm but I hope we do not get this far down the list if this is close. Patterson and Peterson...even Taggart would be ok but NO Brohm or Norvell!!!

Primary concern with Frost is with the UCLA opening Kelly to UF may not be as done as a lot thought and they apparently are seen as a bigger threat to us getting Frost than Nebraska which is way different than I was thinking.

I wish that I could recall the source for this observation, but Currie has been described as having about as good a pulse on "up-and-comers" in the coaching ranks as any athletic director out there. While at Kansas State, he had to maintain a state of readiness in that respect because of Snyder's advanced age. If Snyder's health had forced him to retire on short notice, Currie, according to that source(s), would have been well equipped to respond accordingly.

My personal opinion is that Currie can see the long-term potential in Frost, given his extraordinary coaching pedigree, and I hope that “Frosty” has been his number-one target among the proverbial “rising star” pool of candidates.

Yep I agree^^^^.


It could get into a bidding contest. Also Frost may not wont to go back home and have a chance of tarnishing his image. Florida and UCLA may be a challenge.
