Northwestern OL coach taunts Scott Frost regarding his puking comment

For context: Scott Frost claimed last week that his OL had a great camp because the unit was puking 15-20 times per day.

If we take a step back and recognize that Frost was basically bragging about torturing his kids--with no success to show for it--having that lame he-man hokum shoved pretty far up his a** is okay with me. He tried to go that route by saying UCF out-hit us when we played them in 2016, one of the dumbest explanations ever offered in an outright pasting, and may--at this stage--be running out of crap excuses.

I try not to exult in other people's misfortune, too much, but Frost is a twerd. Other teams will be doing the people of Nebraska a favor by beating them this year.

UCF was a good program before 2015.  Then their team chemistry fell apart, the players mutinied and O’Leary got fired.  Frost, to his credit, won over the locker room when he got there.  But he benefitted from the job O’Leary had done before him.  If he had stayed, he probably would have had a Larry Coker trajectory into mediocrity.  But Nebraska came calling first.

It might partly be a Nebraska problem in the sense that Nebraska's ceiling (but not its fans' expectations) is much lower than it used to be with recent trends in recruiting that disfavor schools in far-flung, rural locations like Lincoln, NE. But it must also be a Scott Frost problem given the fact that Bo Pelini and even Mike Riley did much better than Frost. Bo Pelini won 9 games every single year of his tenure and played in conference championship games. Mike Riley won a bowl game against UCLA and won nine games his second season. Frost has been a complete disaster from the beginning.

George O'Leary (Frost's predecessor at UCF and my favorite temporary ND coach of all time) went 12-1, 9-4, and ... 0-12 (0-8 for him, 0-4 for whoever replaced him midseason). Crazy, right?

Frost went 6-7 and 13-0. That was enough to launch him.

It doesn't seem to be too hard to win at UCF, which has some structural advantages relative to its peers. Nebraska seems to have "bought high" with Scott.
