Former Nebraska head football coach and College Football Hall of Famer Tom Osborne shared thoughts on the failure of the Scott Frost regime. Osborne spoke with former Husker Adam Carriker about what went wrong under Scott Frost.
While he believes Frost did do some good at Nebraska, Osborne believes, ultimately, the former Husker quarterback was dealt a tough hand.
“I think he went through a very difficult time. He came in on the tail end of a not very successful recruiting regime from the coach previously.
It’s not like he was dealt a really good deck. Then you had COVID and the thing that was a little puzzling was that if you looked at the score at the end of three quarters, Scott would have had a really good record.
Frost was dismissed three games in the 2022 season following the Cornhusker’s 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern. The former quarterback went 16-31 in his four-plus seasons on the sideline.
Osborne went on to talk about the current state of the coaching profession in modern college football.
For whatever reason, they couldn’t hang in the fourth quarter and lost a lot of games. As you know, this is a business of what have you done for me lately.
It’s really hard to stay employed if you have four losing seasons. I think Scott did a lot of good things.
I know social media is brutal, but a lot of the stuff you hear is over the top. I wish Scott the best.”
While the former Husker was linked to several coaching jobs across college football this offseason, he ultimately will remain off the sideline in 2023.
