Yes, that Frost/Phillips connection is a crazy story.
I wouldn't be concerned about Frost only being in his 2nd year. I'd rather he have the 2 years experience than none, like Zook & Muschamp.....and 3 years didn't help McElwain prepare for our job. It's a crap shoot. Also, Kirby Smart isn't having any problems....in year 2 and zero head coaching experience. Tom Herman spent 2 years at Houston before getting the Texas job. There are a TON of examples. You have to start somewhere, and everyone who knows Frost says he has the "it" factor. Would love to land him, but who the F knows what direction Stricklin will go?
