At FAU
Frost joined the staff in 2006 as the defensive ends[apos] coach. His footprint was set right way with a unit that saw marked improvement in total tackles and in sacks despite facing much larger offensive lines. The defensive line came into 2007 as an experienced unit with depth and leadership. Just four games in two players were lost to injury and Frost was forced to younger, less experienced players. Despite the initial set back, the line finished strong and gained valuable experience -- experience that later proved valuable as the two who were forced into action in 2007 proved to be instrumental mainstays and were the top two tacklers among the defensive linemen in 2008. Kevin Cyrille, who sat out in 2008 under transfer rules, moved into the starting left end role. Cyrille started every 2009 game and became better and better as the year progressed. The redshirt sophomore ended the season with 40 tackles, 11.5 for a loss of 41 yards. Daniel Joseph continued to provide experience leadership as the other end but was slowed with injury, starting just eight games. The duo returned in 2010 only to be challenged and supported by more depth than Frost had ever been afforded. The payoff was 26.5 tackles for a loss. Frost will assume full responsibility for the line in 2011 as the squad moves to a 3-4 front.

Frost came to FAU in the spring of 2006 to complete unfinished business, his college degree. The Florida native first joined Schnellenberger at Louisville as a player. Following a professional playing career he sought out Schnellenberger once more in the hope of completing his University of Louisville degree. All that was needed was an internship that he was able to complete through the FAU athletic department. He used his down time to help the football program and got to know the players during spring practice.
