I am not surprised and yes he had a bunch of 1 score losses but at some point you have to improve.

Although Mike Riley probably doesn't care, I see some redemption for him...Nebraska could hardly wait to run him out of town and bring the home grown star home...only to discover Frost did a worse job than Riley 😂 Neither was great by Nebraska standards but Frost was a mess.

I wonder what will happen with Frost? He is only 47 years old...had 2 college head coaching jobs...success at UCF and train wreck at Nebraska. He played in the NFL too...wonder if he wants to coach at that level?

Not surprised, but they could have saved $7.5 million if they had waited a few more weeks. It was obvious tho things were getting worse. He just wasn't ready. Be interesting to see what he does next.
 

It sounds like a pre-emptive strike by Trev Alberts...from an article...

"Alberts told reporters he needed to make a change now to be fair to the players and others around the program."

He is probably trying to protect and retain the roster as best he can...as we know, players have no problem abandoning ship at a moment's notice.

I am not going to shed any tears for Frost, he is getting the full $15 million buyout and I am sure Alberts had plenty of "offers" from alumni to pay the full buyout just to get Frost out of there ASAP....especially after losing to Georgia Southern at home...coached by CLAY HELTON!😲

It is always an interesting dynamic when a coach "comes home" to his alma mater and then bombs.

Not sure how many unemployed coaches Nebraska would be interested in...but I know one name will immediately hit the social media waves...Urban "Sleaze" Meyer! Will be interesting.

Frost is cut from the same mold as Chris Petersen.  They have that G5 "Us Against the World" edge that works at those programs and inspires loyalty and extra effort at BSU and UCF, but poorly translates to blue bloods liike UW and NU.  I think this is also why Jimbo struggles so much now that he has "made it" at a&m.  P5 football is more of a corporate deal with the HC as CEO rather than "one of the guys."  It leads to my concern that our own Lanning may not have "it" to take the Ducks to the next level.  Two games into a career is nothing to draw solid conclusions from, so I am not even remotely down on Lanning, just shooting from the hip from what I have seen becasue that is what armchair critics do .  The benchmark at Oregon is Bellotti, who knew when to make changes in his staff and knew to play the best guys regardless of stars out of HS.  

Bottom line is that I think Frost is going to be fine in terms of coaching future as his work at UCF was very good.  If Mora and Helton can land on their feet after blue blood positions, so can SF...  Betcha he shows up on trhe UCLA staff at some point as a consultant this season.
