Petersen left when a dream job of his opened up (he didn't want to leave the Northwest). If Nebraska is still Frost's dream job, like he said it was 5 years ago, then nothing you can offer him will matter. If he has a different dream job now, then yes he'll probably wait for that job to come open. But he turned down Oregon last year, so who knows at this point.
UCF offer to Frost
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date

quit trying to strip us of all good things
Strikes me more an inferiority complex by UCF fans. I am sure it is a great school. I am not going to bash the school as I live in the Northwest and no nothing about it. I just wouldn't count on an ACC or SEC invite. Look how hard BYU has been trying to get into a P5 conference to no avail. Trust me the LDS church has lots of power. I bet the ACC regrets adding Louisville. I write about this all the time. Florida with all it's population yet UCF doesn't even fill a rather small capacity stadium, 55000. Why?
factions of boosters, Steve Spurrier, etc
I think Spurrier's presence might be hurting them. These Coaches all have Egos and they don't want the Ole Ball Coach down the hall
I agree with you Frost needs to leave now since a lot of high profile jobs are open thus driving up the price for what schools must pay in order to get their new coach. Even if his only desire would be to go to Nebraska, the fact that Tenn. UCLA, Florida are open gives him leverage that he would not have if those three schools were not looking for a head coach.
No, he's not.
CP had a sick son that all but forced him to remain in Boise for medical purposes and there wasn't a college playoff. His son's health got remarkably better, started high school, in pops the playoff and CP didn't hesitate to leave for Washington.
I thought Petersen left when he threw his name into the hat for the USC job and didnt get it then UW came open. His son is now older that is one of the main reasons he stayed in Boise
oops sorry did not see your post before I replied to him you are 100% correct on this
He interviewed at USC and realized it wasn't a good fit, so he withdrew from consideration. Took the Washington job shortly after.
Starting to look like our botched hiring of Callahan for UF.
Pay no attention to that jet on the runway........
If UFC can afford 4 or 5 million a year what could a school like Nebraska afford with 50 million in TV revenue and 90000 fans per game?
But would the Big 12 take them IF they keep winning like this? Lots of eyeballs in Florida.
I think the big12 would be their only possibility. Cable tv money is going to put the screws to ESPN and other outlets in the future. We are at a point I believe in 5 -10 years where you will not see every school on tv anymore. I watched UCF and some other team last week and the stadium was about empty, the game is a blow out yet it's on tv , that will not happen in future years.
Teams with large fan bases will be in demand teams without will wither away
They don't play in Camping World Stadium (the old Citrus Bowl) any longer. They now play in Spectrum Stadium, built in 2007, on campus. See the link for stats and improvements in the last 2-3 years.

He's making $2.3/year. UCF has a lot of us (including me) on autodraft.
According to this he is making $2.0M. Up from $1.7M last year.

You're correct. $2.3M is the approximate total number of UCF assistants pay.
Good for Danny White. Wonder why Frost hasn't also reaffirmed his long-term commitment to UCF?
haha...after reading the numerous posters that claimed White was out the door as fast as Frost .... I just had to chuckle a little bit.
You guys are in for a big let down.
It's always been said that women don't fart. But, with this specimen.... if she did fart... id be okay with it. Might even breathe it in... A little.
I heard he wasn't happy in Oregon, and his mother is ill in Florida. Also has quite a few coaching connections in Fla.
As an UCF fan I hate to say this, but Frost will be gone after the champ game next week. I think he ends up in Gainsville,
UCF fans arguing on a Nebraska board as to which school their head coach will be going to after taking them to the CCG......
He's from Wood Fn River. He's not going to a filthy swamp.
