Not sure we can judge Frank at Spurs. No manager has succeeded there.
They broke Conte mentally.
I don't think we can judge him completely based on 8 months at Tottenham.
Thonas Frank is a very good manager. Tottenham is a basket case of a club. They are a business first and football club second. They don't pay top wages for players and usually buy players the other top clubs don't want e.g Solanke. Sure, they have had bad luck with injuries and Frank has struggled. Perhaps he has been too defensive for Tottenham and results dictated his fate, but he's still a very good manager. His great work at Brentford in a brilliantly club bears that out, and their recruitment team is excellent in contrast to Tottenham.
Feel for him and wish him well. One of football's good guys. He will be back but it probably won't be a big club because some will perceive that he was out of his depth which is not necessarily true when all factors are considered.
