During his first Big 12 Media Days<\/strong> appearance, Scott Frost<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 preparing for his second stint at UCF<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 made waves for his comments about his time at Nebraska<\/a><\/strong>. When asked about the biggest lesson he learned, he told The Athletic simply, \u201cDon\u2019t take the wrong job<\/a><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those remarks quickly made their way around social media considering Frost is a Nebraska<\/a><\/strong> alumnus. To Urban Meyer<\/a><\/strong>, he saw it as a \u201cdirect shot\u201d at the Huskers, even if Frost didn\u2019t necessarily mean it that way.<\/p>\n

Meyer reacted to Frost\u2019s comments and noted that sometimes, coaches say things during press conferences they might want back. He wondered if that was an instance for the UCF head coach, but also noted the way it still came across.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all stood at the podium and you say something and you\u2019re like, \u2018Ouch, why did I say that?\u2019 and you can\u2019t take it back,\u201d Meyer said on The Triple Option<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m sure he\u2019d want to take it back. If it\u2019s not mean to be, it\u2019s a direct shot at Nebraska. I know Scott Frost. Hell of a coach. I\u2019ve known him for a long time. That didn\u2019t go well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually had people send it to me and said, \u2018Wow, look at this.\u2019 That\u2019s one of those ones, would you want to take it back? Sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meyer recalled what went through his mind when he left Bowling Green<\/a><\/strong> for Utah<\/a><\/strong> in 2003. He heard some of the concerns about what it was like to recruit and wondered if he\u2019d made the wrong choice leaving a BGSU program that had its quarterback returning. Of course, he ultimately stayed, going 22-2 in two seasons before heading to Florida<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At UF, Urban Meyer also saw Billy Donovan<\/strong> initially choose to leave for the Orlando Magic and the NBA<\/a><\/strong>. He ended up coming back to Gainesville before later heading to the league with the Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n

Dan Dakich<\/strong> had a similar situation when he left Bowling Green for West Virginia<\/a><\/strong>. As a result, Meyer knows what it\u2019s like when a coach leaves for a new place and it\u2019s not what they thought it\u2019d be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was also with Billy Donovan when he was at Florida and he left to go to the Magic. Came back. Think about that,\u201d Meyer said. \u201cThen, 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, \u2018This isn\u2019t what I thought it would be. I\u2019m coming back.\u2019 They both came back.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I get that. I get, you sometimes put your feet down somewhere and you\u2019re like, \u2018Uh oh. This ain\u2019t Kansas.’\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During his first Big 12 Media Days appearance, Scott Frost \u2013 preparing for his second stint at UCF\u00a0\u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":74062,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[1318,1317,1315,1316,51696,62,67,132,51697,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-74061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-football","11":"tag-ncaafootball","12":"tag-scott-frost","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-urban-meyer-82-ss-john-paul","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114877173857115469","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
