Scott Frost was supposed to be the answer. After years of searching for a coach that could lead Nebraska back to national relevancy, one of their own was coming off an unbeaten season at Central Florida and was one of the “rising stars” of the profession. Nebraska canned Mike Riley and made the “no-brainer” move of bringing former star quarterback Frost back to Nebraska. Unfortunately for the Huskers, the hire did not go as expected, and a few weeks into the 2022 campaign, athletic director Trev Alberts ended the Scott Frost era. Another former Husker quarterback, Mickey Joseph, was named the interim coach.
