This is a great argument that CU's AD will actually hire Frost

@The Alabaster Yak mentioned Kent State's HC in another thread. I don't know much about him at all, other than he doesn't have any experience at the P5 level or within the traditional CU recruiting footprint.
It's easy to be underwhelmed by his record at Kent State, but they schedule OOC like CU used to: Anyone, anytime, anywhere. They play one OOC cupcake per year then hit the road to get their asses kicked by 3 P5 programs. Since he's been there they've played the following OOC schedules (rankings from the week they played):
2018: @Illinois, @11 Penn St, @Ole Miss
2019
ASU, @8 Auburn, @8 Wisconsin2020: No OOC
2021: @6 A&M, @5 Iowa, @Maryland
2022: @Washington, @7 Oklahoma, @1 Georgia
That's right- since he's been there they've played 7 out of 12 OOC roadies against teams ranked in the top 11.
Next year they get a break because they only play 1 P5 team (Arky) along with UCF and Fresno St.
It resumes in 2024: @Pitt, @Tennessee, @Penn St
When you look at where Kent State was before he got there, where they are now as basically a .500 team with that kind of OOC schedule and essentially no resources, there's definitely some intrigue.@The Alabaster Yak mentioned Kent State's HC in another thread.

2018: 2-10
2019: 7-6 with a win over Utah State in Frisco Bowl
2020: 3-1
2021: 7-7 overall, won their division and lost in the MAC CG and lost to Wyoming in the Potato Bowl
2022: 2-3 so far, but losses against Wash, OU and UGA as you noted
An argument can be made that if Kent State decided not to schedule the way they do in OOC, he's more of a 9-10 win/year guy there, so the record is definitely deceiving.
The bolded part is what intrigues me. He's turned them around, with next to no resources, and on top plays a ridiculous OOC schedule every year. Imagine what he could do with bottom-of-the-barrel P5 resources!When you look at where Kent State was before he got there, where they are now as basically a .500 team with that kind of OOC schedule and essentially no resources, there's definitely some intrigue.

I believe this person posts here sometimes, but I can't remember their screen name. At any rate, they've got it right:
Yep, you can’t just look at the W-L record without context. The Kent State coach is like the reverse of Barry Odom, whose tenure at Mizzou is far worse than the W-L record indicates. That guy feasted on really weak OOC, plus Vanderbilt and Arkansas (historicity bad at that time).When you look at where Kent State was before he got there, where they are now as basically a .500 team with that kind of OOC schedule and essentially no resources, there's definitely some intrigue.

Could I interest you in an unknown NFL RB coach?

I think you all seriously underestimate the satisfaction of watching Nub fans absolutely SEETHE when Frost kills it at Colorado.
I think you should stop talking before @96 Buff sees this.
Scott Frost. Truly without words. Just clicking empty.

Here I was thinking this was a safe space
You made some sock Twitter accounts to drum up support for your idiotic position too!

One thing from the footballscoop podcast on the CU search-they mention there are sitting P5 coaches who have been in their jobs a long time and might be open to a change. This is a job that these types of guys look at and say "Yeah, I'd have a quiet conversation with Colorado. Maybe there's a fit there."
I think I know who one of these guys might be.

Kirk Ferentz?
He was 32-18 in 4 years at texas, a 8-4 / 8-5 record every year. He only coached two years at Houston and with Texas's talent advantage over virtually every team they play, it's valid criticism BC he won't have that talent at boulder
If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule? If Illinois is a top 10 defense at the end of the year, then we would be idiots for not considering him due to an arbitrary reason. Our only "rules" should be- has he experienced success, does he understand today's cfb landscape, and does he have the energy for restless nights out on the recruiting trail.
Also, to everyone saying things like, insert coach would never come here, please stop. There are a handful of up and coming coaches who wouldn't come to cu because their value is too high, and I haven't seen any their names sincerely suggested. If you were correct (you're not) midnight would've never been hired.
Tuscaloosa isn't for everyone.
Or Austin.
