Scott Frost (offensive genius) invents volleyball safety

[Escambia94]

I am so sad Florida did not get offensive fucking genius Scott Frost as a head coach. He just invented a new offensive play, the volleyball safety. Brilliant!

Yeah--and all this on the heels of such a class- move: As his team shows how little difference he has made coming in, at least this far, this past week he announces how little ANYONE could do with the personel he has... Hey , Scott! Practically EVERY new Coach at major programs across the land, right this moment could say the same--but didn't, don't and WON'T. It only makes things worse in every way, destroys whatever little trust was LEFT between you and the TEAM you are dismissing, blaming for your public failure (while YOU try to lay it off on the guy who was there before you)--it's whining, crybaby stuff, and presumably unnecessary: They fired him and hired YOU, didn't they? Sign of immaturity--and maybe a prickly, oversensitive insecurity about his image, responsibility, and leadership. Could be first sign of eventual self-destructive meltdown of a man too early ascended to this level?

Entertaining little "Ain't seen THAT before!" moment, though...

But, but, fake National Champions!

I am going to rehash this thread for all the idiots who thought Frost was the best coach for Florida. Even if the Snowman wins as many games as Florida, he will never have a good explanation for the shit show offense and questionable brainpower of his coaches and players .

Happy for this because still sore after his UCF team beat Charlie's USF team. Also, Frost probably should have known not to go for the big job like Charlie did in Texas or the guy coaching Clown College (and Taggart should have either in USF or Oregon, you know what I said he should have stayed in Oregon).

Well, ironically enough, it seems that more and more, as once-great programs find themselves in a deeper n deeper hole, after several misfires at the Head Coaching position leaves them not just "cupboard-is-bare" floundering with little hope left, they reach back, try and recover "that ol' magic" in trying to reprise FLORIDA'S huge success a generation back in bringing a "favorite son", who has supposedly/seemingly been working his way up towards "readiness for the return", in to (hoping against HOPE) somehow fixing their mess to the dazzling degree and longterm new standard that SS managed in Gainesville.
You'd think, after it has failed to be repeated in ANY comparable way elsewhere by now, that maybe they should think twice--but no: More such attempts are likely, even "developing predictably"...out THIS way, for example, I believe Texas boosters have an eye on (may well even be helping to SHEPHARD him along, behind the scenes) Major Applewhite for the eventual Longhorns job...While they're thinking "repeating history" ("Texas-style..."), though, they better take ANOTHER lesson: All these subsequent copycat efforts appear to have an important caveat, a repeated flaw: BE PATIENT: Let him GROW and LEARN... Do NOT bring 'em along too soon. The very nature of the situation and growing NEED, along with your deepening crisis and fan impatience (not to mention inevitably exploding "hope and expectation" in your fanbase as the seasons go by, your program deteriorating in accelerating fashion for all to see), all means unrealistic, unsatisfiable expectations when you DO finally pull the trigger--NO one can measure up, and never soon enough.
The prospective Coach will take the job, too--their "dream job", for "set you and your family UP"- money, and all the positive excitement surrounding the moment, the impending CORONATION of The Sure Thing, means it all takes on a life of its own. Neither "wisdom" nor "longrange foresight" will prevail on either side.
And, oh by the WAY: "Steve Spurrier"s don't just "come along", show up in droves across the board in every generation, every situation and/or area...Applewhite, his nature, experience, skills, personality and the "luck of timing" MAY turn out to be right, "good enough" for the slowly-developing eventual "turning of the worm"--but it'll be blind luck if it DOES work out!
The rest of these "no one says it but it's what they HOPE"-hires are really just examples of "one more shot in the dark". With results predictable in their similarity to EACH OTHERS' failure to achieve the hoped-for-result, rather than somehow repeating Spurrier's, and FLORIDA'S long sequence of events, through long, terrible slide, turnaround and eventual great success. There were complex reasons, ocurrances and situational/historical details at work every step of the way with us--for both the man and the Program. Trying to (I believe impossibly to start with) reconstitute just ONE of those seems near impossible, let alone all the rest.
Looked at that way, seems a forlorn hope even with a REALLY GOOD GUY (at least a "real good fit") as your target. Even from out here, that hasn't appeared to be the case with most of these "saviors".

... Frost probably should have known not to go for the big job like Charlie did in Texas or the guy coaching Clown College (and Taggart should have either in USF or Oregon, you know what I said he should have stayed in Oregon).

Scott Frost was a QB at Nebraska and was a fake national champion in 1997, with Michigan being the co-champion. Idiot Man was only going to Nebraska, because there are only two places on Earth that will buy into his bullshit: UCF and Nebraska.
