2. Coaching lineage

If you take an in-depth look at the men Scott Frost has played for and coached under, the resume is rather impressive. He began his collegiate career at Stanford under Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh and played two seasons in Palo Alto before transferring back home to Nebraska to play another Hall of Fame coach, Tom Osbourne. Not often a player plays for two hall of fame head coaches.

Once he joined the coaching ranks, He was an assistant to Mark Farley, one of the longest-tenured coaches in FCS as he’s been at UNI since 2001. He then served under Chip Kelly, who has been a head coach at the Pro and Collegiate level. The common thread between all of these coaches is that a majority of them are innovators. Osbourne’s Nebraska I, Bill Walsh’s West Coast offense, and Chip Kelly’s track-speed spread offense. Frost has learned from some of the greatest minds in the history of the game.

Taking in all of the lessons he learned from these innovative minds, Frost’s offense at UCF racked up the points and the yards this season as the Knights had a balanced attack with duo of quarterback McKenzie Milton and running back Adrian Killins Jr.
