McCaffrey bros not happy with coach frost comments


He was asked a question and answered it, but there are many ways he could have answered it. Harping on a kid that left and on his family makes no sense. He's gone. Move on.

I've always wondered why strangers to conversations (assuming the family had conversations) feel they know what the conversations concluded. Who knows? Maybe the family said it's up to you, and he picked out Lousiville on his own. Looks to me that was his mistake - not leaving NU (why should he stay here - he wasn't going to be the starting QB for them while AM had breath, and probably not thereafter). We'll see how he does at Rice.

But why use that as an example in answering a question that a straight forward answer not using examples would have moved you on to the next question. We win this only on this board. If I'm a recruit, bad mouthing an ex player who sees no way to a starting job and leaves is not something I put on the positive side of our ability to recruit. It gets slaps on the back from beer drinking fans, but I doubt that a recruit looks at it and says - man that makes me want to go there. This coach flatters a kid in high school but then when he sees things are not what he expected and moves on to another school, the coach bad mouths him. Yes sir - makes me want to go there.

When did Frost do this? This must have been in a different interview.

What Frost said was not bad mouthing the kid. What Satterfield said after 4 days at Louisville was badmouthing the kid.
 
I guess I'm wondering if Frost can ever do anything right around these parts. Barring winning 10-11 games every year, it sure doesn't seem that way.

Are you wanting sprinkles?

I'd take 7 wins in 2021 and be pleased. 8-10 beyond that. If that doesn't happen, does anything else matter?

It's a reality that a winning coach can make bolder statements with less pushback. And that's true anywhere.

He didn’t bad mouth him! He definitely didn’t harp on it! Basically nothing you posted is at all based in fact. I’m starting to feel like a few people on here have reading comprehension issues or flat out haven’t actually read what he said

Winning would definitely solve a lot of the things being discussed but Frost didn’t say anything bold. He didn’t say anything controversial at all. Worst thing he said was Luke is getting bad advice. He didn’t even mention him by name. That’s not an insult, that’s not bad, that’s nothing. The way his brother reacted was dumb.
 
Was a sarcasm emoji needed? I kind of assumed it was obvious. My point was the brothers lumping all transfers into one basket inferring it’s all the same. The guys we took were leaving for pretty justifiable reasons. Luke, not so much, as your reply points out.

Apparent, I needed a sarcasm emoji. I will try harder to recognize sarcasm in the future. :thumbsup:
 



As I originally said, Frost didn’t need to make reference to Luke, directly or indirectly. It didn’t change the substance of his comment one way or another.

If he’s not referring to Luke, then who is he talking about exactly?

Yeah he does. Not by name, but there's only one recent transfer that (quoting Frost) "We had one leave that's already left the next place he's going and is headed to another place." Who else could that be?

Keyshawn Greene does in fact also fit.

He didn't reference anyone by name, and unfortunately saying a guy who has transferred more than once doesn't mean one specific person.

Harping on a kid that left and on his family makes no sense.


As @KleinTxHusker mentioned, and as @LarstheRed alluded, there's nothing that Frost said that couldn't have also been applied to Keyshawn Greene, so I don't know that he was even necessarily singling out LM (without naming him) in what Mitch quoted.

If not controversial, why is this at page 12? Why is all over social media?

Again, I'm not saying Frost is wrong, but while some may not see it as controversial, others do.
