This isn't perfectly thought out...it may need some tweaks...
Anyone else think this CEO model is a shit idea for Frost? I am a big believer in keep people in their strengths - expand their opportunities for their strengths to shine.
4 years ago - HCSF was thee up and coming offensive mind in the college football world. So why not get older high level assistants from various areas around Frost. Also - I have been told repeatedly that we cannot compete in the college landscape anymore because of the power shift. So change the fucking way we do things.
Fuck being "like Wisconsin" Fuck being "like Bama" just make a new way made up of guys who can bring the best pieces of various aspects to one central location. Get a bunch of people around Frost that will say "Here's what we are doing - let's all go forward of the same mind." Give everyone more responsibility in the areas they are great at - give them titles and salaries that are higher than what they'd expect. All we ever heard was Walters is fighting Frost, Austin is fighting Frost, Lubick bailed too fast after the season and caused a riff, I thought there were reports of Harry Potter instructing QBs differently than what Frost wanted.
1) Say Fuck the CEO idea - HCSF isn't Saban, He isn't Urban, He isn't Herm, He just isn't and that can be OK - At least say Fuck the CEO idea as it is typically being carried out in today's College Football
2) Let Frost run wild offensively again. He is a HC/OC hybrid. It all still falls on his shoulders - but break up so much of the responsibility.
3) Break up your OC salary to significantly up your assistants we need to bring on
4) Hire Mickey as your "OC"/Offensive Recruiting Coordinator/WR
5) Get Chad Morris as QB/AHC/Pass Game Coordinator - Would say Harrell but this plan isn't to groom HC's like he'd want
6) Bill O'Boyle comes on as OL/Run Game Coordinator
7) Bill Busch STC/Defensive Recruiting Coordinator
The CEO aspect should play out in that he speaks into multiple facets, but doesn't deal with any of them in the weeds. Frost/Morris schedule practices. Frost/OBoyle/Mickey scheme everything out. And this would allow us to significantly raise these guy's expected salaries - make it impossible to say no.
Let's be different - Let's change the damn landscape ourselves.
Mostly - GET SOME GUYS LOCKED UP! We are sitting here bowl-less and we are getting close to getting surpassed for hires for next season now as well. If we aren't bowling, we should be getting ahead for next year.
