Twitter reacted to the news that the Nebraska Cornhuskers fired head coach Scott Frost after five years on the job.

Entering the 2022 season, no head coach’s seat was hotter than Scott Frost’s. He was hired to bring his winning ways from Central Florida to his alma mater. The thing is, the Cornhuskers never even had a winning record at the end of each of his first four seasons. That made Year 5 that much more important for Frost to finally turn things around.

Instead, Nebraska lost two of their first three games of the season. That second loss came on Saturday, as Frost fell to Clay Helton and the Georgia Southern Eagles 45-42.

On Sunday, just before NFL kickoff, the Cornhuskers officially fired Frost.

After the news was announced, the reactions flowed in on Twitter.

Like many had said, this was the hire that was supposed to help revive the Cornhuskers football program. Instead, it turned into a disaster.

The best season that the Cornhuskers had was in 2019, where they actually ranked 24th in the nation at one point. But, they finished the year with a 5-9 record and no bowl game appearance.

Frost’s tenure reached its end after Nebraska could not hold onto a 42-38 lead late in the fourth quarter, as Georgia Southern was able to march down the field and score a go-ahead touchdown. There was hope for Frost, as the team was able get into field goal range. But, they missed a 52-yard attempt, and the loss was clinched.

Nebraska opted against saving $7.5 million by waiting until after Oct. 1, and decided to buyout Frost’s contract at $15 million.

Overall, Frost leaves the program with a 16-31 record.

Now, the Cornhuskers will be led by Mickey Joseph, the team’s passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach, on an interim basis for the remainder of the season.
