"What if we attempted to graft an entirely different offensive system onto ours, using small, quick wide receivers and running backs onto a team with bulky tight ends and wide receivers? What if we tried to use reasonably mobile QBs -- for so-called pro-style QBs -- and put them in a system with much greater demands on QB mobility?" etc.

I mean, I agree with you that it's sort of silly to think "Oregon's offense is good, this guy is Oregon's OC, therefore if he was our OC our offense would be good", but at the same time good coaches aren't just system guys. They mold the scheme to their personnel and to the opponent's personnel. Does Frost do that well? I honestly have no idea, and I don't really think anyone else necessarily does either. That's the real problem here, it's utterly impossible to know how well people will do after a change of scenery.
