Mandel's Mailbag: Why is Josh Heupel more successful in a year than Scott Frost has been in 4?
Does UCLA retain Chip Kelly? What's next for Nebraska? And what's the hold up with Playoff expansion?

Why is Josh Heupel more successful in 1 year than Frost in 4 years
- Thread starter WestCoastCornhusker2
- Start date

Because he doesn't have some geezer riding his a** 24/7?
Because Scott gets p*$$y at home & abroad....Heupel just uber foods a buffet to the football complex and sleeps on a c*m stained office sofa.
Because he doesn't coach in the BIG
yes....because the B1G is tougher than the SEC...that's it.
tenn probably has a lot better recruiting situation, probably more talent to work with
Heupel took over for Frost at UCF.
Year 1: 12-1
Year 2: 10-3
Year 3: 6-4
UT Year 1: 5-5
They'll likely end up at 7-5 and hit a bowl game. 2 years ago they were 8-5 and collapsed in a Covid year and fired their coach.
The 'success' he is enjoying this year is largely due to Hendon Hooker, a transfer QB from Virginia Tech. Hooker wasn't his original starter this year. The guy that started the 1st game was a transfer in Joe Milton that came from Michigan. Not being hired till late January this year, was likely a blessing. He had to hit the portal for a QB, and he landed 2 experienced quality guys from solid P5 schools.
Either way, UT has some pretty dismal losses this year with a nice win over Kentucky.
Time will tell how it all plays out.

I've got another very important inquiry for you...
.....is troy's number also 867-5309?
he better cut down on the uber foods, hes got manginoesque body figure on the horizon
Looks kinda like Heupel took what Frost left ucf and did worse year after year.
Settle down OP, that doesn't mean I think Frost is doing a great job at Nebraska.

How that guy never keeled over and flatlined on a game day still baffles me
Manginoesque ~ "What, Uber delivers food, too?"
I guess it would be cool to be 5-5.
Laugh all you want, dude won 12 games and an Orange Bowl coaching Kansas with a bunch of lesser guys than we have on our current roster.
He had a QB who I think is still in the NFL and a WR who was all pro for a lot of years. Just goes to show you how important your QB is.
Was referring to how large a man he was not his coaching resume ya boner
So you’re saying Heupel found a good QB? Interesting…
I've been saying it for 2 years. A QB can make or break a team. Even with Brook Berringer, Tom wasn't winning that Natie without Tommie. Same goes for Frost's last year. You have to have the man at QB.
Because he is a better coach. Sec is much tougher than the big ten. It is funny people are trying to make the big ten out to be some dominant league. Other than Ohio state it hasnt been anything special for a while
Tom Osborne needed both Tommie Frazier and Brook Berringer to win the 1994 National Championship. Without either qb, no championship that year.
Maybe because Heupel is a better coach. Most of the time the most obvious and simple answer is the best.
