At Miss State, takes over a 4 win team and has them at 9 win by year 2 in the brutally tough SEC West. Tenure includes numerous wins over top 15 opponents and even a #1 ranking for 4 weeks in 2014.
At Florida, took over a 4 win team, immediately gets them 10 wins, including a dominant bowl game win against the Michigan team that pummeled Nebraska in Frost's first year.
gets fired in the same season he lost to Alabama by 2 with a literal who at QB. administration had clearly turned on him halfway through the season which led to a downward spiral.
even his 8-4 season is deceptive when you look at the losses:
Texas A&M - 3 point loss against an A&M team that would only lose to eventual national champion Alabama
LSU - another 3 point loss featuring the bizarre "cleat toss" penalty
Alabama (SEC Championship Game) - 6 point loss to one of the best Alabama teams of all time. An impressive performance by both teams
Oklahoma - blowout loss, though worth noting that a ton of Florida's starters didn't even play in order to focus on draft preparation.
Personally, I think Florida still expects Urban Meyer levels of success, and they got a little too cocky.
