Asked what he learned from his head-coaching stint at Nebraska, UCF head coach Scott Frost said to not "take the wrong job."

In Frost’s appearance Tuesday at Big 12 media days in Frisco, Texas, he said that Nebraska in 2017 was the “wrong job” for him. Fans of the Huskers, in retrospect, agree. His exit from Nebraska in September 2022 after a 16-31 stint over four-plus seasons classified him among the most disappointing coaching hires in the history of college football.

Frost said, “I really want to keep it about UCF,” just a few hours after telling a reporter from The Athletic that he never wanted to take the Nebraska job in the first place coming off a 13-0 season in 2017 that sparked debate about whether the Knights should have had a chance to play for the national championship in the four-team playoff.
