Top choice for HC
- Thread starter Ewooc
- Start date
You could argue Campbell has separated himself from Frost, he is 2-1 in Bowl Games, has coached a P5 program into the Top15 and has beat two Top 5 teams. Frost has not done anything close to that (And I do like Frost). It just seems like some posters are so crazy over the hometown hero they are going to great lengths to discredit other terrific coaches, with better resumes.
Yah that's all I mean. Don't get me wrong I'd be extremely excited to have Frost come home...but I'm not going to go around acting like his W-L resume is Lombardi's. That's not where the bulk of the argument is for Frost.
Most of the "for" Frost argument is "cool by association". He's worked with a who's who of coaching minds, and in the small sample we have, he's won at a pretty good clip.
That bodes well for the future, but the stock market does crater sometimes.
Campbell has a superior resume. It's not even close and no one on this board would even consider Frost over him without his ties to Nebraska
I think it's becoming clear that Bielema's success at Wisconsin was largely due to Alvarez, Chryst, and Doeren. He has not been good at Arkansas. Though in fairness, he has to play a brutal schedule every year compared to our schedule.
As you alluded to, he is no longer playing the B1G West schedule. Urban Meyer would probably struggle a bit in the SEC West also.
I honestly thought the percentage in favor of Frost would higher, something closer to 70%. (I voted Frost.)
Many of us love the hair cut on Mike. It takes a real man to wear it well.
He's a man...and he's 50!

Because Stoops is very likely done coaching for good. Everyone in Oklahoma has said he retired for health reasons.
I just laughed when I saw it. Don't even know what else to say. If they haven't seen enough yet they never will. Give me Kelly or Frost.
Frost has it,,,, really believe he's magic. Succeeds at everything he does. Can you imagine the big screen showing National title highlights of our coach? Good grief what could be more awesome?

That is seriously disturbing coming from a guy
Well if you read my post i said frost would be my second pick behind stoops... he was on the list so thats why i voted for him..i lived in oklahoma for almost 5 years still have contact with a ton of ou alumni and none of them said health reasons..none..it was all about his family and thats why he is still with the program to this day
Yah, but other than that what has he done?
He is a worse poster than I am. Laughing
If I were the AD at a power 5 school and was looking to replace my football coach I'd ask the alumni for as much money it would take to hire the person that did the impossible at Iowa State.
Ive lived in ok for 33 years. I don't know any insiders but ive heard a ton of ppl talk about health reasons. Not that he has them but he doesn't want them. Im sure his family is playing a big part. I think I heard he wants to be able to see his sons games. His new role is way less pressure and I dont see him wanting back into coaching. But you never know.
