Frost coached Nebraska from 2018-2022 but never had a winning season lead in the Corhuskers.
Frost began his first season in Lincoln with six straight losses, the worst start to a football season in school history. He finished his first season 4–8, which was then the worst single-season record of any Nebraska head football coach in more than 50 years
The 2019 season started off better for Frost with a 4–2 start. But the Huskers ultimately sputtered and finished with a 5-7 overall record.
Nebraska’s 2020 season was cut to a conference-only, eight game schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nebraska went 3–5 with victories over Penn State, Purdue, and Rutgers in the shortened season. Nebraska went 3-9 in 2021 after the program decided to bring Frost back on a restructured contract for that season.
Nebraska ultimately fired Frost in September of 2022, one day after the Huskers were upset by Georgia Southern. This will be Frost’s first coaching position since parting ways with his alma mater.
Frost played in the NFL but this will be his first coaching position at that level. The Rams’ first game is on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
