This is a weird thing for a HC to say

Where did he say that?

May be a load of BS. But plenty of people take what is considered the next obvious or logical step in their career without really wanting to.

Unless there’s some context missing, he basically is saying he can’t win one at UCF lol

UCF was in the American Athletic Conference and there was a 4 team playoff when he left. He couldn’t then, that’s a fair statement.

Ahhh. He sucked there, so he was happier at a place he won at vs. lesser competition.

What a joke.

Yes, money and the “anointment” that you are the alum hot shot head coach to bring your once great program back to the top. Seems entirely reasonable to feel that pressure.

Not sure if this is serious but isn't that exactly what Kelly said about ND? And ND has a hell of a lot better shot than UCF

He's going to suck at UCF in the Big 12 and get let go by mid-year 3.

Cincinnati made the 4 team playoff in '21 as a member of the AAC.

Granted, Cincy had to do a frickload of winning over several years to get there but it was proven to be possible.

4 years after he left and a decent amount of chips had to fall for that to even happen.

The post I replied to was implying Frost is saying that about current day UCF. Which is disingenuous AF because current day UCF is now in an auto bid conference in a playoff that’s 3 and about to be 4 times as many teams

And essentially became a bye week for Alabama IIRC

Joe Burrow wanted to transfer to Nebraska in 2018. That where his dad and his brothers played. Scott Frost showed no interest saying that he wan't better than any of the QB's on the roster.
