The Rest of College Football

World explodes shortly after.

...leaving Ditka, spiraling through space with Nick Saban's head in a secure two-handed grip, as its only survivor.

...well...him and Chuck Norris...and Urban of course...

Well, Urban's face anyway...since it is constructed from space-age polymers.

the time is right for Frost to get a HC job

Oregon's rise to No. 2 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings has occurred despite injuries to several key players, including no fewer than five on the Ducks' offense.

Of course, Oregon benefits from at least one glaring constant: the often-otherworldly quarterback play of Marcus Mariota.

Also, don't overlook the work of the Ducks' coaching staff, including offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Scott Frost, the former Nebraska great.

I'm guessing there are plenty of athletic directors who have taken notice of Frost's work.

The Wood River native, who turns 40 in January, perhaps has reached a perfect point in his career to run his own program.

He's in his sixth season at Oregon, his second as play-caller. Has his time at the school run its course?

After all, Mariota, a junior, is seemingly a lock to skip his senior season and bolt for the NFL. He's 186-of-277 passing (67.1 percent) this year for 2,780 yards and 29 touchdowns, with only two interceptions. He's rushed 89 times for 524 yards and eight TDs.

Oregon (9-1) is rolling — five straight wins since an Oct. 2 home loss to Arizona — despite an offensive line ravaged by injuries. A prominent receiver also has missed time.

The Ducks push forward with an offense that ranks fifth nationally at 531.2 yards per game and fourth at 46.0 points.

Anybody familiar with Frost's playing and overall coaching career probably isn't overly surprised.

Those close to Frost have long anticipated his rise in the profession.

He's exceptionally intelligent — quick-witted — as well as grounded. I've always been struck by his sense of calm. Those qualities no doubt serve him well in his role as play-caller. The great offensive coordinators keep their minds quiet amid the chaos.

Frost played for and/or coached under some of the all-time greatest coaching minds: Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Jon Gruden and Chip Kelly, to name a few.

Frost won't consider just any head-coaching job. He can afford to be picky. He wants to find a place he can win and a city he can enjoy (and we're in no way suggesting Nebraska as a possibility).

In December 2012, he interviewed for the head-coaching position at Louisiana Tech, which ultimately hired Skip Holtz.

It's difficult to say what sort of jobs will open as this season winds to a close. Dominoes likely will begin to fall in earnest once schools such as Michigan and Florida decide what direction to take.

Rest assured Frost's name will come up in speculation — and if the job is right, he will remain cool-headed amid a new kind of chaos.

Frost to Michigan. Heh.

[Wild Hoss]

Curious if any other BIG or Big 12 schools are making coaching changes this year? He'd be a good candidate for a school like Illinois, and maybe Kansas, who wants a little Oregon Lite scheme to become competetive.

As the article suggests, his stock has probably risen past the point where he needs to prove himself someplace like Miami (OH). Whether its actually deserved or not is another conversation.

Not only that but he's got proven skills to pass the oral part of the interview. He'll get his shot. And I suspect he'll prove himself worthy and surely end up coaching Nebraska someday. I hate that guy. He's completely OP.

...still butthurt?

...breathe hack...breathe...

[hack]

Fuck breathing. I wouldn't breathe if Frost held a gun to my head and told me to.

[THE_WIZARD_]

lol...get over it bro...

[hack]

Who says I'm not over it? It's just fun to remind this group of how Nebraska was SEC before SEC was cool.

For you people, at least.
