Former Rams consultant Scott Frost’s time in Los Angeles ended when he was recently announced as the new head coach at the University of Central Florida. It was always a probability that Frost would return to the collegiate ranks and for UCF, they get back the coach that led them to an undefeated season in 2017.
While Frost may not work for the Rams anymore, the relationship between the coach and the organization may provide the Rams’ front office with unmatched access to players within the organization and in the Big 12 conference.
While Frost himself would be able to provide insight into players within his program, which is important as UCF has become a hotbed for high school and transfer portal talent since their jump to the Big 12, the Rams would also have an affiliated coaching staff that would most likely be willing to share their perspectives on the NFL-caliber players that they have to scheme against.
In his introductory press conference, Frost heaped praise on the Rams organization for being a first-class group, so it sounds like he built strong connections within the building.

For Frost, his coaching staff, and UCF, the prospect of forming/strengthening connections inside the NFL is more than enough for them to provide such information, especially when UCF can use its relationship with the Rams as a recruiting tool.
When it comes to pro football, it’s more who you know instead of what you know and with a known man leading one of the top football programs in the state of Florida, there’s reason to believe Frost’s short stint with the Rams can lead to long-term benefit for both parties.
