Matt Rhule gives honest answer about Scott Frost’s tenure

Scott Frost went 16-31 in his four-plus seasons on the sideline in Lincoln.

Since becoming Nebraska’s head football coach, Matt Rhule has been asked multiple times about the previous man in charge, Scott Frost. The current head coach has always spoken positively of the former Husker, even referring to him as a friend at his introductory press conference.

With Nebraska’s 2023 record standing at 5-4, Rhule was asked by Andy Staples of On3 about the process-oriented philosophy of the current roster. The head coach said that Frost and his staff played a significant role in creating that culture.

“It has been amazing. I think it’s a credit to Scott Frost and his staff. To me, if you’re a smart coach? You follow good staffs. I remember watching Urban Meyer, one of the coaches I look up to, and he followed Gary Blackney. He followed coaches that had taught guys the right things. So I try to emulate that. I have a lot of respect for Scott.”

Scott Frost went 16-31 in his four-plus seasons on the sideline in Lincoln. He is not currently coaching but has been linked to several possible head coach and offensive coordinator vacancies for next season.
