Nebraska fires Scott Frost after embarrassing home loss to Georgia Southern
Yahoo ^ | September 11, 2022 | Sam Cooper

Scott Frost’s time at Nebraska has come to an end.

Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts announced Sunday that the school has fired Frost as head coach just three games into his fifth season on the job.

The move comes on the heels of a 45-42 home loss to Georgia Southern that dropped the Huskers to 1-2 on the season and 16-31 overall with Frost as head coach. On top of that, the loss put the Huskers at an unfathomable 5-22 in one-possession games under Frost.

Frost is one of the worst Prodigal Son hires in college football history. He was a failure in every aspect of the job. The funny part of the firing is if Nebraska waited for three weeks the buyout would have been only $7.5 MM; a half of the check Frost will receive. Since January 2002 when THE U obliterated Nebraska at the BCS Championship-Rose Bowl, Nebraska has been irrelevant. My personal dark horse candidate for the position is current Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. He was starting QB at Nebraska for 2 seasons.

I wonder if he tanked the game in order to get fired now.

Instead of giving him 3 mores weeks to purposely lose, they let him go.

My alma mater University of Florida hired Will Muschamp who wasted more talent than any coach in history, lost to Georgia Southern at home when Georgia Southern gained ZERO yards passing the entire game and idiotically UF kept him as the head coach for one more season, Muschamp amazingly got another head coaching job in the SEC and failed a second time.

It’s always amazing to me how many truly terrible coaches exist at all levels of football

So Zac Taylor’s going to leave a team that barely lost the Super Bowl and has a great quarterback on the roster in order to coach Nebraska??

They should pick up the phone and see if Mark Dantonio wants to come out of retirement

About time. Frost had a talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I wonder if there is a quality coach out there who wants the job?

The $$$$$ is not a problem for UNL. They, like all other “major” football programs have a university foundation whose sole function is to generate cash for events such as this.

This BS about student scholarships, yadada, is a steaming pile of horse $hit. Its all about the sports program.... No, its all about the football program.

I initially thought Frost’s problem was he hitched his wagon to a terrible quarterback- Adrian Martinez- who’s now at Kansas State.

While Nebraska was losing to Georgia Southern on Saturday, Martinez was helping Kansas State pound Missouri. K-State is 2-0

Fact is, Frost is not cut out to be a power 5 coach.

The problem is UNL itself and the fan base. They cannot accept the fact that they are no longer one of the blue bloods of college football. They fired Solich and Pelini both for going 9-3. Delusional.

LOL- you’re correct. It’s not ridiculous to claim Frost tanked to Georgia Southern in a game played in Lincoln, NE.

Its actually beyond absurd.

You cannot lose at home to Georgia Southern. The once-great Nebraska program needs to turn things around.

The University of Cincinnati, not the Cincinnati Bengals.

The difference was at UF the egomaniac AD whose sole decision it was to hire Chump could not bear to admit he was wrong (he even gave him a big fat extension after year 2 despite the fact that nobody else wanted him). So he stuck UF with yet another year of Chump.....before having to fire him anyway. All that did was inflict another year of misery on the fans and completely torpedo one recruiting class.

At least Nebraska isn’t saddled with Jeremy Foley. But hey, at least UF was really good at women’s intercollegiate hopscotch and advanced underwater basket weaving so that totally makes up for it!

They jump on and off the merry-go-round. Eventually the bad coaches run out of options at the top level and become assistants or go down in the levels.

Frost’s failure at Nebraska is something of a puzzle after he turned the U of Central Florida into a team that could play with anyone in 2017, a year he won just about every coach of the year award available. Of course, he was only there a couple of years.

Pelini was a good coach but a bit of a psycho. The fact he was mired in mediocrity at Youngstown State the six years after NU fired him and never approached hard by even small IA programs for a head coaching job is telling.

The thing is......Nebraska massively overachieved for decades via the most advanced strength training program in the country (*cough* steroids *cough*), loading up on partial qualifiers and other academically borderline but talented prospects, and on very easy Big 8 schedules. When they could no longer take those partial qualifiers and others implemented strength training programs as advanced as theirs and they stepped up in competition, they discovered that they are a program in a relatively small, overwhelmingly White (when most players are Black) and cold state.

There’s no particular reason why any stud from New Jersey or California or Texas or Florida should want to go there. There isn’t enough homegrown talent to compete. There’s no particular reason why Nebraska should be any better at football than Kansas.

I’d go for a coordinator. It has worked better for us at OU. We made the same prodigal son hire mistake etc.
