Urban Meyer on Scott Frost's 'direct shot' at Nebraska: 'I'm sure he'd want to take it back'
UCF head coach Scott Frost was asked at Big 12 Media Days about what he learned from his time at Nebraska. “Don’t take the wrong job,” he answered, setting off a round of analysis around whether or not he was taking a shot at the school where he went 16-31 in five seasons.
For Fox Sports’ Urban Meyer, there’s no question Frost was taking a “direct shot” at the Cornhuskers.
“We’ve all stood at the podium and you say something and you’re like, ‘Ouch, why did I say that?’ and you can’t take it back,” Meyer said on The Triple Option, via On3. “I’m sure he’d want to take it back. If it’s not mean to be, it’s a direct shot at Nebraska. I know Scott Frost. Hell of a coach. I’ve known him for a long time. That didn’t go well.
“I actually had people send it to me and said, ‘Wow, look at this.’ That’s one of those ones, would you want to take it back? Sure.”
Meyer admitted that there was validity to what Frost was saying. He even had similar feelings when he left Bowling Green for Utah in 2003, saying that he wondered if he’d made a mistake leaving a program with a returning quarterback for one with recruiting concerns.
He also shared specific examples of other coaches who ultimately reversed course after taking a new job.
“I was also with Billy Donovan when he was at Florida and he left to go to the Magic. Came back. Think about that,” Meyer said. “Then, I was also with Dan Dakich as a basketball coach at Bowling Green. The hottest coach in America, he takes the job at West Virginia. I get a call about four days later and he said, ‘This isn’t what I thought it would be. I’m coming back.’ They both came back.
“So I get that. I get, you sometimes put your feet down somewhere and you’re like, ‘Uh oh. This ain’t Kansas.'”
"Come on, you know what you're doing. You just put a picture of me in a leotard for clicks and then caption it 'sex sells.'"
