Nebraska football fans take to Twitter to try to get Scott Frost fired

Scott Frost is running out of time to get it right leading Nebraska football.

Scott Frost may be a Nebraska football legend, but he is coaching his alma mater into the ground.

Nobody fought harder to get college football back in the Big Ten than Frost. It is a shame his alma mater’s football program is so dreadfully awful. The Nebraska Cornhuskers dropped to 1-3 on the season after falling at home to the sub-.500 Illinois Fighting Illini. Frost won more games in the 2017 season leading the UCF Knights (13) than he has in 2.5 seasons at Nebraska (10).

Nebraska football fans want Scott Frost to stop coaching their team immediately

While we understand that Nebraska may never be what it was under Frost’s legendary coach Tom Osborne, this is a traditional college football power and one that should win eight or nine games regularly in a 12-game slate. Instead, all Frost is doing is winning less than half his games on the job and one-third of his games in conference play. He is falling out of favor fast in Lincoln.

Frost is now 10-18 at Nebraska. His predecessor Mike Riley was fired after three years in 2017, going 19-19 overall. Bo Pelini was let go after a 9-3 season in 2014 and went 67–27 in eight seasons on the job. Frank Solich was terminated after a 9-3 season in 2003 and going 58–19 overall in the first six years after Osborne retired from coaching in 1997. Frost has underwhelmed.

When Nebraska hired Frost away from the UCF Knights, the Cornhuskers thought he would be the saving grace for the program that had fallen on hard times under Riley. While Riley’s hiring was strange because Pelini had been relatively successful in his time in the big chair, the move to get Frost felt like a no-brainer heading into the 2018 season. Well, it has been three terrible seasons.

Nebraska may not have the robust recruiting base it once did. Leaving the Big 12 for the Big Ten was at a cost. The unintended consequence of doing so was parting ways with having a foothold in Texas. Parents of college players from that state could at least seen their sons play half the time when they played Big 12 competition. Now playing in the Midwest, Texans are saying, “no thanks”.

Ultimately, it feels a tad early to fire Frost only 2.5 years on the job. Who are they going to get to replace him? Jim Harbaugh? Is he going to be the panacea he was not for Michigan. . .in Lincoln? Nebraska fans must accept the glory days are firmly in the rearview mirror. However, they should not accept having a head coach who cannot even get them to a bowl game three years in.

It is a frustrating time to be a Nebraska fan, but it does not look to be getting better any time soon.
