I posted this in the RSS chat yesterday but Dean chose to complain that everyone was asking the same 3 questions over and over instead of respond, so I figured I'd bring it over to you guys haha. It was kinda inspired by someone speculating that Frost has CTE, which seems harsh and hopefully untrue, but did get me wondering about the big shift he's had in his personality.
It's hard not to look back to 2017 and remember the fun freewheeling player's coach who could plug-and-play guys into his genius system and run the program like a big fun family. By the end of year 3 at his alma mater he's sullen, stubborn, and making personnel and playcalling decisions that are bizarre at best as we struggle over and over. Unfortunately, he seems utterly lost. He looks like he's aged 15 years. Is it just the pressure and failure taking its toll? Is it possible for him to get out from under this huge dark cloud? I feel awful for the guy honestly, all money and power aside it has to fucking SUCK to go back to your beloved alma mater as the hero to end all heroes, only to faceplant. I truly wonder if he regrets the decision to come to NU, and if he'd be struggling this badly anywhere else.
I know it's a weird unanswerable question in some ways, but what is your sense of Frost's mental state right now?
