Nebraska’s Scott Frost is likely coaching for his life in 2022 after a 3-9 finish last fall. With his job potentially at stake, this wasn’t the best start.
The Cornhuskers looked good at moments during Saturday’s season-opening 31-28 loss to Northwestern in Ireland, but mistakes ultimately cost them a victory in a Week 0 matchup that proved to be significantly more exciting than anyone expected.
Both teams went 3-9 last fall, and Nebraska’s lone win in the Big Ten came against the Wildcats. Now, the outlook looks suddenly bleak in Lincoln. Following an embattled offseason for Frost, fans let him have it after his team’s disappointing start.

Happy International Scott Frost Day

True at the same time, in my opinion:
1: Nebraska could still make a bowl, 2022 could all be OK, and Scott Frost could survive
2: They are well within their rights to leave him in Dublin and padlock his office
3: They won’t, and this is probably not his last backbreaking L

Scott Frost was basically forced to hire a special teams coordinator as a condition of keeping his job, then comes out in the first game and calls an onside kick with an 11-point lead, immediately blows lead. I almost respect it.

If you’re Nebraska you make Scott Frost take a rowboat home. And then fire him when he touches US soil.

Congrats to Scott Frost who became the first “they need to fire that guy before he steps on the plane” coach of the year.

That onside kick call might be the nail in Scott Frost’s Nebraska tenure.
Changed the game.

I’m sorry but the Scott Frost era at Nebraska needs to end now. What a train wreck. If I’m Husker’s I go across the border with a blank check and do whatever it takes to get Matt Campbell to come to Lincoln. So embarrassing.
