That's my opinion.
1) You can't hire good assistants if they are going to be at risk of being let go with Frost after one year. Nobody wants that kind of instability.
2) Recruits and even grad transfers are going to be reluctant to join the team right now. The grass doesn't look green here for top flight recruits and even 2-3 star recruits probably don't want to sign on knowing there is so much uncertainty in the program.
3) If the entire staff is uncertain about their future they likely aren't giving their all to recruiting (and based on the results so far it's obviously not going well). Most are probably looking around to see what is available for future jobs.
4) Players will likely start transferring for various reasons. Some are probably tired of not going to bowl games, etc. Others will feel they can't move up the depth chart (QB). Others will just not feel like being far from their home state when then aren't in a winning program.
In my opinion Trev should either say "I don't care about the record and we are keeping Frost for years to come" or fire Frost and give Chinander the reins for the remainder of the season. If a top coaching candidate is available that you can't miss out on then you give them an interview along with Chinander. Otherwise give Chinander next season to run the program as an extended audition to see how it goes. If he succeeds extend him a few years. Otherwise, hire a new coach.
