That some guy is very close to the program.

Right, so I'm not sure the extreme response.

All Im saying is based on history, and trend, Mario is going to be Mario and he sees no reason to stray from what he is comfortable with just as Kirby didn't stray from the same kind of offense 3 coordinators in a row.

If I'm wrong, then tha k God, bc lordt knows I'm ready for something different.

I'm just not expecting it.

By all accounts Candle was a leading candidate last year as well. The "Mario wants an archaic offense" nonsense is overblown

Frost would make a lot of sense as an analyst, working hand in hand with a top OC. Let him shed some of the stink he has on him for a bit. Also doesn't interfere with the big buyout Nebraska has to pay him.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Yeah Steve is a good dude and doesn’t try to troll; he may not always be 100% accurate but @SWFLHurricane knows he’s got some ins and if he’s sharing, he heard something.

Known Steve for close to 12yrs...Great person. Loves UM like nobody's business.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

lol if Mario hires Frost as an Analyst and Nussmeier as OC.

So Candle OC and Frost as an offensive analyst to give him a couple years to rehab his image behind the scenes? With his Nebraska buyout Id imagine we can get Frost here for a bargain price as an analyst?

Id love that scenario.

And so would I.....

I was a barfly at Monte's (now Our Time) every trip I made. The stuffed grilled cheese sandwich was fantastic if you got the onions grilled.

Let me know the next time you’re in the area, would love to meet up with a fellow Cane… don’t see too many here

That is my best guess as to why UM would be negotiating with both at the same time.

Now, if one fell through, then it becomes a different ballgame.

But I also doubt Mario would start Frost out as OC (and maybe it happens, I'm not saying it won't). Whether the rumors are true are not, they exist. And we just blew past all the red flags with Gattis. It just doesn't sound like "OC" is the rational plausible act of certain people I know who work for UM.

I don’t use the face palm emoji but if I did this post would get 37 of them

May be wrong but the feeling in peaches is when this guy starts smoking usually theres some type of fire.

Steve batted .1000 during recruiting season

Different ball game with Mario and his hires but definitely promising

 

[CoastCane]

Never did I say "Frost" as a sole OC....You may actually be right in regards to him being less than a OC....The person who texted me (and you know him) said, Frost. In what capacity??...Have no idea. I was busy cleaning my GFs Parrot cage out (little ******* bit me...Lol) and I never got back to him in a timely manner.

"Twitter heat". I guess.

But some posters are already picking out Frost's staff...

 

[CholoCane]

I think if you wanna look at what Frost can do with poor luck, look at Nebraska 2021.

Nebraska wasn't this competitive in a long time, yet the losing record doesn't speak for it. They were 32nd in offense, 15th in defense (FEI), never had a loss worse than nine points (Ohio State), yet went 3-9 with a 1-8 record.

Like, how is this even possible?

IMO it was the QB play that ****ed that team.

By all accounts Candle was a leading candidate last year as well. The "Mario wants an archaic offense" nonsense is overblown

And the reality is he hired Gattis. Just as he went w Moorehead at Oregon after sticking with Arroyo.

Id also push back on the word archaic here. The type of offense Mario wants to run will never be dated. It just requires an elite level of talent (and depth) to run.

Even the great Gary Ferman is not equally adept in his recruiting reporting and his UM-program reporting.

Frost?

I played a round of golf under the name Frosty Balls back in October because me and my buddy were in a 2 hour frost delay. Played the worst round of my life.
