Frost is not good for Frost.
He's a lame duck HC. He's restructured his contract down to $4 million/year and a buyout of just $7 million.
Being that he fired 4 offensive assistants, what quality assistant is gonna want to take those positions knowing they might only be there for one season?
The time to fire Frost was after the Iowa game (or even in the next month or so) since the new contract has already been inked and signed.
This was supposed to be a small recruiting class anyway (hence their ranking).
The opportune time to give a new coach a shot is now. Frost went backwards in 4 years. I wouldn't kick the can down the road for another year or two.
I couldn't care any less about the competition of other jobs being open (USC, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, etc). There weren't any Saban's available for any of them either.
ALL new coaches are a gamble. Time to fold that shitty hand and gamble again.
