and possibly a promotion in the near future (OC). Assuming that all WR recruits sign their LOI, Frost has brought in maybe the most highly regarded collection of WR's ever at Oregon and he was the primary recruiter for Jerrard Randall. A few players on the team have told me that Frost is Oregon's best recruiter. This is especially impressive when you consider that Don Pellum is a member of Chip Kelly's coaching staff.

Taking a look at his recruits....
Tacoi Sumler- Imo, Sumler is Frost's most impressive "get". Sumler is a top notch student and many were worried that Stanford would win out. I wasn't aware of this until recently, but Frost went to Stanford for two years before transferring to Nebraska. This gives Frost a lot of credibility when recruiting against Stanford (and even Cal). Sumler is one of the fastest players in the country and to be able to pull a big time recruit out of Miami says a lot about Frost as a recruiter.
Jerrard Randall- Chip Kelly definitely deserves credit here too, but I believe that Frost was the one that initiated the contact with Randall. At this point, it is unknown as to whether Randall is going to qualify. Either way, Randall is a big time talent and has enormous potential. Another recruit out of Miami.
Devon Blackmon- after his commitment, Blackmon cited his relationship with Frost as being on the big selling points. He stated that Frost "take care of him". Clearly, players feel that Frost has their back. Blackmon has a chance to contribute immediately.
Rahsaan Vaughn- arguably one of the best Juco WR's in the country. Vaughn has great speed, good hands, and a really solid build. He also mentioned that he was excited to be able to play for Frost.
B.J. Kelley- obviously was an Oregon lean, yet Frost was able to keep Kelley interested, despite the fact that the coaching staff ignored him for over a month. Kelley will likely redshirt, but adds even more depth to a position that Oregon desperately needed talent at. In most years, people would have been elated to land a WR like Kelley. Probably one of the most underrated recruits in this class.

Frost has been a massive upgrade over Pflugrad, not only as a recruiter, but as an actual coach. Our receivers had fewer drops this year and also appeared to be better blockers.

Frost's contract is up on June 30. I have to imagine that he's going to be getting a pretty nice raise.

I doubt Chip is going to let him leave since Frost has played a big part in the growth of our WR corps. While not a big name yet in the recruiting game, he's certainly proved his worth there the last couple of years.

Let's not forget Huff and Lowe last year.

Don't know that he was the primary recruiter, but as their position coach you can bet your house on the fact that he played a role.

Great recruiting. Great blocking. Great depth. Great focus. Great leadership. Great hands. Great fit w/ Chip and this program.

I like the Bellotti hire of Scott Frost a lot too.

I really like the idea of putting Frost into the OC position. Not a huge fan of Helfrich, but who knows if Frost has the ability to be a offensive genius?

But it's not like Helfrich is calling the plays; Chip still does that. Helfrich is more of a QB coach and has a proven track record in mentoring QBs.

chip kelley hire.

Frost has done a fantastic job in recruiting and coaching, I hope he sticks around for a while.

Frost in an up & coming young coach that we must keep IMO. He's not just a great recruiter, he's really turned our WR corps around. Whether it takes making him OC eventually, whatever it takes, he's a must keep. In his interviews he's stated that this is a special place, just with the closeness of the staff & the family atmoshphere the entire athletic department has, & unlike anywhere he's been so I don't think he has a desire to leave but that can change when a big time school comes along offering him a higher position.

Contract extension NOW! A lot better than Pflugrad who came here very highly regarded.

Yep.

I think Pflu was more highly regarded as a recruiting coordinator, not necessarily as a recruiter. But remember at the time he was hired our coordinator had left for Cal the year before and the way MB did it for a year was by committee and it didn't work well.

Frost has definitely proven to be a great hire for the wide receiver group (not a bad basketball player at the rec either) and I hope he decides to stick around but realistically I'm not to sure that he will. I say this for a couple reasons, first he has nothing tying him down to this region, second he is pretty versatile coach (he coached linebackers at Northern Iowa), and lastly I'm not to sure how much higher up he can go at Oregon. No matter what he's still going to be in Chip's shadow.

i know the nebraska fans are pining for him to come home: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/5752 ... -come-home

I'm still impressed with how he almost singlehandedly got LGB from the field into the locker room after the Boise St. game. If you watch the tape, Frost was the one doing most of the restraining.

Swag, you may want to lay off of that blubonic, Mike Bellotti hired Scott Frost in his last year as Head Coach, 2008.

And it's Chip Kelly, not Kelley.
