Perhaps Frost could be forgiven for the subpar 2019 outing, considering he still needs time to bring in his players and lay the foundation of a winning program (which worked in his previous stint at Central Florida).

They also sparked some criticism from former star quarterback Tommie Frazier, who tweeted his feelings on Scott on Saturday.
Frazier’s isn’t necessarily a damning comment for Frost, but it does sting a little extra knowing the two players were once teammates on Nebraska’s 1995 championship team. Frazier led the Cornhuskers to the first two of Tom Osborne’s three championships in the 1994-95 seasons; Frost quarterbacked his final title team in 1997.
It’s unlikely this affects Frost’s status as the Huskers’ head coach heading into 2020. But one thing’s for certain: Frost will be without the support of Frazier until the Huskers start seeing better results.
