Scott Frost, the former golden boy of UCF, took the Knights from winless to undefeated in two years. He was the maestro behind the 2017 “national champions” moniker, the man who convinced Orlando that anything was possible. Then came the siren call of his home, Nebraska. Frost left UCF, not because he was itching for cornfields and Big Ten battles, but because he felt tugged by loyalty and legacy.
But rather than taking responsibility for the calamity that had developed in Lincoln. With 16 victories, 31 defeats, a record-breaking string of one-score losses. Frost developed a pattern: whenever people discuss his Nebraska stint, he points fingers at the job, the situation, the administration, and the fit. And amid all this finger-pointing, the Nebraska alum took a sharp notice. Husker Nation favorite voice, Adam Carriker, is not buying the “woe is me” routine.
On his program, Adam took shots at Scott, criticizing his remarks about the Cornhuskers. He reads a quote spoken by Frost on his program on the 11th of July. “Don’t take the wrong job,” Frost said at Big 12 Media Days. “I said I wouldn’t leave UCF unless it was something you could win. A national championship, or some place where you could win a national championship. I got tugged in a direction to help my alma mater and didn’t really want to do it. It wasn’t a good move. I’m lucky to get back to a place where I was a lot happier.” Carriker, along with many Husker graduates, has followed Frost’s Nebraska drama with hope, frustration, and ultimately, exasperation.
Carriker was not surprised at all. He states, “I was 0% surprised. It’s not the first time he’s taken shots at Nebraska, or whether you like or don’t like Trev Alberts. Trev Alberts. I mean, he didn’t specifically say him in the past, but he’s made it very clear he does not have warm feelings about his time here, what happened here, people here, etc.” Adam brought up the obvious: Nebraska went out of its way to provide Frost with all he could have wanted. Resources, patience, and even an extension of his contract after losing seasons. Now, the fans were forgiving, and the administration was understanding. But rather than gratitude or reflection, Frost returns repeatedly to blame.
What bothers Carriker is the lack of accountability. Carriker shares a tale from Frost’s first spring game at Nebraska. Frost is in the weight room, rattled, and he just throws out, “When I was at UCF, I could do whatever the hell I wanted.” That statement sticks with Carriker. At the moment, he dismissed it—everyone has bad days, right? But in retrospect, he does wonder if Frost ever even wanted to be there. So for Carriker, and much of Husker Nation. Frost’s legacy is becoming a lesson on what not to do when it all falls apart.
Scott Frost’s “Wrong Job” hits a nerve
Scott Frost’s recent remarks regarding his stay in Nebraska have ignited a firestorm among Husker graduates. He’s again at UCF, but rather than putting the past behind him, he’s tossing shade on the Cornhuskers with his“Don’t take the wrong job” remark. The Nebraska fans and former players are receiving a major hit home like a gut punch, who were hoping for a little more humility and a whole lot less finger-pointing.
And this time it’s J.B. Davis, a Nebraska Alum. He captured the mood perfectly on X. “The person who needs some class and grace is Scott Frost. His inability to take responsibility for his failures and to put the blame back on everyone else is so unbecoming of someone in his position.” Davis, like Adam and numerous Huskers, isn’t upset about the losing years. He is upset that Frost continues to dodge responsibility and blames Nebraska for the issue. Frost’s tenure in Lincoln was a disaster. He never had more than five wins in a season, lost ten consecutive one-score games to conclude his stint, and even after rebuilding his staff, things only went downhill.

Nebraska finished no higher than fifth in their division and never caught a whiff of a bowl game. Frost’s public statements come across as if he were only doing the job reluctantly. That’s the attitude that’s truly splitting Frost and the Nebraska fan base. Even the current Huskers coach, Matt Rhule, went out of his way to credit Frost for recruiting some of the program’s best players, being more gracious than Frost has been himself. But for a lot of alumni, Frost’s words felt more like a betrayal and less like closure.
