after us.”
Not exactly the answers Nebraska fans were looking for after five seasons hearing similar statements after every loss.
Frost ends his Nebraska coaching career with a 16-31 mark.
Nebraska fired football coach Scott Frost on Sunday, one day after a 45-42 home loss to Georgia Southern in what had become an untenable situation for the Huskers.
Nebraska (1-2) had been a three-touchdown favorite.
Breakdown of Scott Frost’s contract
“Earlier today, I met with Coach Frost and informed him we were making a change in the leadership of our football program, effective immediately. Scott has poured his heart and soul into the Nebraska Football program both as a quarterback and head coach, and I appreciate his work and dedication,” Nebraska vice chancellor for athletics Trev Alberts said in a statement.
Associate head coach Mickey Joseph will take over for the rest of the season. Nebraska hosts Oklahoma on Saturday.
Frost will receive his full $15 million buyout, Alberts told reporters at a news conference. The buyout amount would have dropped to $7.5 million on Oct. 1. Alberts told reporters he needed to make a change now to be fair to the players and others around the program.
“We owed it to the players to give them a different voice, perhaps a slightly different vision,” Alberts said. “Give them some confidence and an opportunity. I know how disruptive these changes are, but we needed to inject something into this team to give them confidence and hopefully help them compete. Nothing would please me more than to see a pretty significant change and help this team get over the hump and win so
me games.”
