Nebraska Football coach Scott Frost spoke to the media one last time before the Huskers kickoff their 2022 season against the Northwestern Wildcats. The Nebraska head football coach spent time discussing the team’s travel to Ireland, how they’ve acclimated to their new surroundings, the plans for playcalling, and what the head coach will do on the sidelines on Saturday now that he won’t be calling plays.
That, to me, has always been one of the more important topics of conversation surrounding this team. How does a head coach that used to call plays adapt to no longer having that authority? Frost’s former head coach Tom Osborne once said that he needed to call plays in order to be the best head coach he could be, and that is no longer a luxury the current Nebraska coach has, and Mark Whipple is now the play-caller. Frost also confirmed that Whipple will be on the sideline and defensive coordinator Erik Chinander will be up in the booth.
See below some of the comments from the Husker head coach before the big kickoff on Saturday.
