• Part of a coaching staff that helped deliver BC’s first bowl win since 2007 after last season’s 36-30 victory over Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl

• In his second season, mentored an offensive line that allowed quarterback Tyler Murphy to break the ACC single-season record for rushing yardage by a quarterback and the BC career record in the same category (1,184 yards)

• Molded an Eagle offensive line that produced a rushing attack that averaged 212.5 yards per game, a mark good for second in the ACC and 20th among all teams in college football in 2013; the average was a 121.5-yard spike from the previous season’s average, marking the largest one-year improvement in ACC history

• Mentored three players – left tackle Matt Patchan, center Andy Gallik and right tackle Ian White – to all-conference recognition in his first season as offensive line coach at Boston College and four players – Gallik, tackle Seth Betancourt, tackle Ian Silberman and guard Bobby Vardaro to league honors in year two

• In Frye’s first season at Temple (2011), the Owl offense set the school records for rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in a season as well behind the explosive efforts of All-MAC honorees Pierce and Matt Brown. Blocking the way were All-MAC offensive linemen Pat Boyle and Wayne Tribue. The starting offensive line combined for 147 starting appearances

Following a win in the Outback Bowl, tackle Marcus Gilbert and Pouncey were selected to play in the 2011 Senior Bowl
