This to me speaks louder than words. He took an 0-12, let that sink in, 0-12 team and has turned it into a 9-0 undefeated team. This is amazing to me.

Who in their right mind doesn't see how this is a home-run hire?

They were 12-1 in '013 and 9-4 in 2014. It's not like he took a traditional basement dweller, relatively speaking, and turned the whole program around.

I do think he's an up and coming coach but we need a proven winner. Why do other schools expect this but we don't??

All we are hearing is Scott Frost is going to Nebraska, Florida or Tennessee.

But is he qualified for Tennessee?

Has he done enough?

Is his resume good enough?

What a ridiculous question. This epitomises the lunacy of the Vols fanbase.

How good was Meyer's resume? He was 8-3 at Bowling Green before Utah hired him. Frost's UCF team is more impressive than BG was then. Furthermore, Meyer was 8-5 at UF when OSU hired him. How does that resumé compare to Frost's?

Nick Saban had one halfway decent year at MSU...one...after four subpar years, when LSU hired him. He was 9-3 at LSU when Bama hired him. 9-3 will get half the UT fanbase hurling hate at you on VN. Frost is sitting at 10-0 in his second year on a team that was beyond pathetic when he arrived. Did Saban do that with MSU or LSU? No.

So what about Kiffin? He went 5-12 in the NFL before arriving at UT. Then he went 7-6 at UT before USC hired him. Regardless of how that worked out, you would be foolish to assume that USC doesn't know how to hire a coach.

What about Spurrier? His record at Duke was 20-13 before UF hired him.

So, anyone who doubts that Scott Frost is "qualified" just doesn't understand coaches or how to hire them.

Yes he has UCF ranked very high. But, who does UCF play?

This question gets asked a lot about plenty of up-and-coming coaches. It is a pretty ridiculous question when you really think about it. UCF's competition is not on the level of SEC upper-tier schools, but neither is UCF. Frost's winning at UCF shows that he can take a team of athletes AT ONE LEVEL and dominate other teams AT THAT LEVEL. Simply substitute Tennessee for UCF and all the SEC schools for UCF's competition, and it is perfectly logical to expect that Frost could do the same with Tennessee. That is generally how coaching is viewed and explains why big programs hire successful coaches from lower-tier leagues.

Why did UCF AD Danny White take a chance on Scott Frost?

UCF Hires ‘Winner and Innovator’ Scott Frost as Head Football Coach - UCF News - University of Central Florida Articles - Orlando, FL News

“Scott is a winner and innovator who has directed one of college football’s most exciting offenses at the University of Oregon,” said Danny White, UCF’s vice president and director of athletics. “His attitude and experience are exactly what we need to ensure the Knights compete, and win, at the highest levels. I couldn’t be more excited to bring Scott and his fiancée, Ashley, to the UCF family.”

Quotes:

Former Nebraska Head Coach Tom Osborne

“Scott Frost is very well prepared to be a head coach. He has experience on both sides of the ball both as a player and a coach. What he has accomplished at Oregon as offensive coordinator has been pretty remarkable, particularly this year with the injury to their quarterback. He has really distinguished himself in that regard.

“I know there has been a tremendous amount of interest from schools trying to hire Scott the past couple years, and I think this will be a good fit. He’s a guy that is in pretty high demand and I think he will do an outstanding job.”

2014 Heisman Trophy Winner and Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota

“Coach Frost has been a positive role model for me. I’m excited and glad that he has fulfilled a dream of becoming a head coach. His lessons reach further than the football field and he will have an immediate impact on the lives of his new student-athletes.”

Philadelphia Eagles Head Coach and Former Oregon Head Coach Chip Kelly

“Scott is as intelligent of a coach as I have been around. He has all the traits you need to be successful. He’s motivated, smart and very detailed and organized in his work. He has great experience as a player and as a coach. He played quarterback at the college level and on defense as a safety in the NFL so he knows the game inside and out.”

Oregon Head Coach Mark Helfrich in 2013

“Scott is a bright, passionate and talented young coach … His background on both sides of the ball, the coaches he’s been exposed to and his high character offer further foundations for his success.”

Helfrich in 2014

“He gets the big picture. Two things that just jump out to me are that he’s tough and he’s smart. He’s a great communicator. Guys love playing for him.”

That is a pretty good list of references in my book. Sure would like to have a "WINNER and INNOVATOR" as Tennessee's next coach.

John Currie needs to sign Frost to a long term contract around 7 years. This gives Frost and his staff stability. Really think it is cheaper in the long run. Around 5 million per year with incentives.

This is how Matt Campbell's contract at Iowa State is structured. This makes it hard for someone to lure Frost away from Tennessee.

Matt Campbell's Contract Includes Huge Bonuses and a Buyout if He Leaves Iowa State - HERO Sports

Campbell's contract, the same one he signed when arriving in 2015, runs through Dec. 31, 2021. His base annual salary is just $265,000 but through other "guaranteed compensation," his salary for 2017 is $2.1 million million. He has the potential to earn $900,000 per year through incentives, which includes a $500,000 bonus for reaching six wins, $250,000 for winning the Big 12, $100,000 for winning a bowl game and $50,000 for winning Big 12 Coach of the Year. He receives a $100,000 annual raise each year of the contract.

If Campbell does leave for another job, there is a 100-percent buyout, meaning if he terminates the contract at any point before Dec. 31, 2021, Iowa State will not owe him another penny. There is not a contract termination fee but the school is owed the entirety of the remaining contract amount if he leaves, which would be $9.4 million after this season.

If Frost stays the length of contract (Tennessee wins) and if he moves to another job (Tennessee wins financially). Heck, Michigan is trying to sign Harbaugh to a lifetime contract.

All Tennessee fans have their thoughts on who they want as their next football coach. Just because you want a coach does not mean that that coach wants to come to Tennessee. Many people want Gruden, but it apears that he is not interested. I want Patterson, but I don't think he will be willing to leave TCU. So, there comes a point that you have to look at "up and comers" because they are available and are looking to move into a better coaching job than what they have. Frost appears to be the coach at this point and time that Tennessee has a shot at that has a tremendous amount of up side. Currie knows who he is interested in and who he is going after. At this point, from my point of view, Scott Frost would be a great hire for Tennessee. That's JMHO.

Wake up, VN, and put the Gruden dream behind you. We'll be lucky and fortunate to get someone of Frost's caliber. He's a hardworking, humble, intelligent, slogan-less winner.

Go get him, Currie.

Scott Frost talking offense and defense:

Q. Scott, with your defensive background, when did you start to really infiltrate yourself with the spread, the high-octane style of stuff, and when you were a defensive coach did you like facing those type of offenses?
SCOTT FROST: In my experience in football, the best offenses and defenses are ones that are complete systems. I was lucky enough to be around the West Coast offense. That's a system that has answers built in. It makes sense. It's complete. Nebraska's option offense was complete. No matter what a defense was in, we had an answer.

I finished my NFL career in Tampa Bay playing for Monte Kiffin and Mike Tomlin and Rod Marinelli and Raheem Morris and Joe Barry. That system was complete. Every player knew where they were supposed to be, what they were supposed to do, and had answers for everything.

That's the best thing I can say about the offense that we've run at Oregon is it's a system. No matter what a defense gives us, we're going to have an answer; the ball is going to go to a different spot; we're going to block it different; whatever it is.

I didn't know anything about this offense until I got there and started learning from Chip. We've evolved it every year between Mark and I because you have to stay ahead of the competition, but the best thing I can say about it is it's a complete system, and all the good offenses and defenses I've been around are.

, in my opinion, given all circumstances. He could catch Tennessee up very quickly with the rest of the SEC competition, including Alabama. I also believe that he is ahead of the curve with his approach schematically on both sides of the ball, smart tough guy, but just as important is his ability to recruit, communicate, develop and relate to the kids today.

He could get it done and I believe fast.

Trivia, he was the starting QB for Nebraska vs Tennessee in the 97 Orange Bowl, Manning"s last game as a Vol.

Agreed.

But I would bet Frost would value Florida & Nebraska jobs over Tennessee.

Would be huge if Tennessee could get. But Florida is top 4 job nationally and Nebraska is his home

Just saw this

Chip Kelly reportedly not headed to Florida, making Scott Frost a likely Gators target

By Ryan Connors Staff Writer
November 24, 2017
Chip Kelly is no longer a candidate to take the open Florida coaching job, according to Yahoo Sports’ Pat Forde. Kelly and Scott Frost were reportedly two of the top candidates for the Gators’ open job, leaving Frost as a potential front-runner.

Nebraska has reportedly already been in contact with Frost, a former Huskers quarterback who powered UCF to an 11-0 start to the season. Another report called Frost Nebraska’s “top choice” should the Huskers part with Riley. Frost denied reports that he and the Huskers were “close” to a deal in a press conference following UCF’s win over Temple last week.

Unfortunately he will kick UTs ass for 10 more years once he gets to UF. If he goes to NE he will likely become a hero there. He will not be UTs coach though. Vols don't have what it takes to make this happen......which means out bid for him in a major way. Like seriously out bid them and go really big time. Little boy football isn't gonna work any longer......
