Urban Meyer says he’s ‘sure’ Scott Frost would take back Nebraska criticism

Urban Meyer knows what it’s like to face the media after his prolonged head coaching career. Now a member of the media himself, Meyer recently tackled the surprising comments made by former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost.

Now back at UCF, the Husker program legend who ultimately flopped as a head coach was asked about his time in Lincoln. He described Nebraska as “the wrong job” and claimed to be “tugged” by his alma mater toward a job he never wanted to take.

For fans who lived through the Frost era, it’s a tough comment to hear, to say the least. Even if those are Frost’s true feelings, it’s hard to hear the head coach not at least take some accountability for the final product.

During a recent episode of The Triple Option Podcast, Meyer broke down Frost’s comments alongside co-hosts Rob Stone and Mark Ingram. Meyer admitted that sometimes you say things from the podium that you regret, and he believes Frost would take back his comments if able to.

“We’ve all stood at the podium, and we say something like ‘Ouch, why did I say that?’ And you can’t take it back. I’m sure he would want to take it back. If it’s not meant to be, it’s a direct shot at Nebraska,” said Meyer. “I know Scott Frost, a helluva coach, and I’ve known him a long time. That didn’t go well. I actually had people send it to me and say ‘Wow, look at this’.”

“You do take jobs, and you love the place. When I left Bowling Green and I went to Utah, I loved Bowling Green… I get that, you sometimes put your feet down somewhere and you’re like uh oh, this ain’t Kansas,” said Meyer about coaches sometimes regretting a move they make.

We’ll see if Frost ever circles back around to comment on the matter, but for now, it’s still a raw comment for the program and fanbase.
