To me, that's where Frost is a little different. He was a hot commodity even during his coordinator days at Oregon. He was the guy that everyone waited to see where he'd land as a head coach. So while I'd tend to agree on Norvell, and am just not sold on Campbell, Frost is more along the lines of Herman or Morris. I don't watch Houston or SMU, but I knew who they were from their previous stops.

Better, yes. Lets look at the tail of the tape, Frost is younger, more energetic, active coach, coaching and recruiting in FL, didn't fail at his last job, experienced and willing to recruit the state and pretty much everyones pick as the best man for the job.
Kelly has experience coaching in college with moderate success, out of the business for years and putting lots of stipulations to his next boss and has zero connections to FL.
It's a simple choice if you take a serious look.

That article (on Gundy wanting out) is 3 years old....suggesting we should have pursued him 3 years ago vs. Butters.
We ain't gettin' Gundy. Period. Now there's an article on Shaw, who is coaching in the San Francisco, CALIFORNIA area at his ALMA MATER suggesting he come to UF? Nah, hard pass. And Kelly, the dude who last coached college football in the state of Oregon, on the west coast, who hasn't coached college ball in years as a top candidate? Pass. Scott Frost is and will continue to remain the #1 target for this job.

Yes the article is three years ago and yes we should have hired him instead of Mac. But the point is to those who claim Gundy wouldn't want to leave Ok State although he wanted to three years ago. What would be different today? His buyout is ridiculously low. If we wanted him we could get him.

The only thing that's different today is he's 3 years older and still the same 9-4 type of coach that won't get us to an SEC Championship.....

If I can't say he won't come, then you can't say he WILL come. You have no clue. The guy has a very good job, coaching his alma mater, and is entrenched there. But yeah, he's just going to jump ship to UF.

Please not Gundy. The guy is a used car salesman. That said, expect our hopes to be dashed regarding Frost.
Yes, I am a pessimist.

And? Our last 4 hires: Coordinator, Utah, Coordinator, Colorado State. We're all of a sudden going to raid a upper-level P5 program? I'm a realist, and a Scott Frost is realistic. A P5 coach isn't. If our job was so desirable we wouldn't be hiring coordinators and coaches from Colorado State.
