I have been pretty negative of Frost so far this year. But last Saturday was the first time in 4 years I remember thinking “he’s getting better at this”. Obviously this is coming from the eyes of an armchair / couch potato quarterback. But what I saw…
- He was even keeled throughout the game. When we had bad plays, I saw him more actively seeking out coaches and players (and presumably identifying solutions)… Instead of the dumbfounded looks and/or visible frustration
- He stuck to the game plan, didn’t abandon the run even though we weren’t very successful
- There were no excuses, no finger pointing in the halftime or post game interviews. He was focused on the details on what WE needed to do. After the game, his mind was already on what we need to accomplish to compete with Oklahoma.
- He coached his ass off up until the last second. With that option being overturned by the refs, he could have easily said, “10 seconds left, big fvcking deal”. But he was coaching aggressively, trying to get it reversed, making sure every single rep our guys got counted.
That’s the attention to detail we need from our head coach. We still have a long, long way to go. And I’m not expecting a miraculous turnaround this year. But it gave me hope Frost still can figure this out. If he grinds through this year and makes a bowl, I think you see him make some tough changes for the better.
