I think the more tater take is to overblow this one. Weird circumstance all around.

Every time something goes south for Frost everyone spins it into a positive. I think we’re officially in denial.

Nailed it

Not sure who sees it as a positive. Think it got drug out long enough nobody was surprised. Reason for it doesn't really matter. Any way you look at it losing is the base problem.

Exactly. Not a positive. We just all accepted it as happening. So...now what?

Now we suck.....so nothing new.

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

Im sure there’s a lot. I also am sure he’s going to get the time to correct those mistakes he feels he made and see what happens. I do think he’s our guy and I do believe that we are close.

Had a conversation with a current captain recently (family friend is dating him so he was at the same get together) toxic culture there currently, not sure how you change that

Care to elaborate on the toxic culture part?

 

[BushAK]

Have any recommendations?

The offensive side of this program is an absolute dumpster fire

One might say it's....offensive

Care to elaborate? Heard the opposite from a lot of people, but I’m open to hearing what you’ve been told.

Just said lots of guys don’t get along at all, and that there is clear tension between some assistants and frost and players and coaches, said this whole year and everything that came with it was difficult. I didn’t press him much on it got the feeling he didn’t want to get into to much. I caught him towards the end of the night so I’m sure I was the 10th+ person to ask him about football. I don’t claim to be and insider and just bring some stuff here and there as I hear it.

How funny would it be if we trot out Betts, Toure, Manning, and Fidone next year and blow the doors off people, and Martinez has a great season

Would be lovely. Maybe a little funny as well.

Kade Warner?

I would love to sit down with Frost and ask him what he would do differently if he could go back to 2018 and start over again.

If he was smart and reflective, probably not take the job.

Probablh take Florida or Florida State. Arizona State was open as well if I recall.

Arizona state would have been a good landing spot for his family.

Unless infidelity is/was the underlying issue...

Thanks for the info. This just really sounds to me like a situation where losing is the main culprit and if we were winning more a lot of these tensions between players-players, players-coaches, coaches-coaches (which I’m guessing are relatively common amongst teams - especially in Covid weirdness) would not be as intense or prevalent.

It's a mixed bag. Staff definitely went out of their way in a lot of ways to try and make Wandale happy. Dude was given a lot of touches and we played Spielman (probably our best offensive weapon in 2019) out of position all year in order to integrate Wandale. The RB depth the last couple years obviously hurt. Pretty clear that no one else in the room really had the same burst out of the backfield that Wandale did. Ran him between the tackles a bit too much (and probably more than the coaches would have liked to), but it's funny that people complain about personnel usage when Marvin Scott (or fucking Wyatt Mazour) wouldn't gain the same yardage Wandale did.

Honestly, Wandale's most effective role was probably a scat back. J.D. was a better pure receiver and most of Wandale's big plays here came out of the backfield. I don't know that he ever really housed someone in the open field as a receiver (he had a pretty good TD against Illinois in 2019 that sticks out). He really struggles w/ physical secondary play, and dude benefits from orbit motion to for separation. Not at all saying he was a bad player or won't be missed, but I don't know that his usage was really that off from his skill set.

I mean... there are weirdos, and then there's this guy. Dafuq motives people to do something like this
