Yeah Dean and some others really seem to view everything about Frost and the current situation in black and white. Just because he doesn't have higher ups actively plotting against him doesn't mean he has a free 7-year pass, or that nobody is concerned in the least. I have zero inside info or access to boosters/board of regents/whoever, but common sense says that they're not a group of identical starry-eyed Frost worshippers who are willing to follow him anywhere he goes.
Going into year four, the higher ups have clearly given incredible patience and leeway for Frost. I understand why, and I hope it pays off. But that doesn't mean that they will just keep perpetually giving him more patience and leeway for the rest of time, or for another losing season for that matter. I just don't get the point of pretending that the way someone feels in June 2021 automatically dictates the way they will feel in late November 2021 if things are circling the drain for the fourth straight year.
Also, I feel like I have to add this to the end of a lot of my posts just to be clear: I am actually rooting for Frost to succeed! I badly want it to happen and will be a depressed shell of myself if we have to declare this era a failure and move on to yet another new coach. So maybe some of these higher ups are like me: I'm firmly rooting for Frost -AND- I think he's underachieved badly so far -AND- I think he could still work out -AND- I think he's almost out of time to prove it.
