A day after losing a heartbreaker to Georgia Southern at home, the Nebraska Cornhuskers have relieved head coach Scott Frost of his duties.

Frost, hired by the Cornhuskers in 2018 to help resurrect a program that had fallen on hard times, struggled to make any headway in Lincoln, posting a 16-31 record in 47 games.

The Cornhuskers started the season with a loss to the Northwestern Wildcats, but after a 45-42 defeat on Saturday night, Athletic Director Trev Alberts announced that the team would make a change on the sidelines. “Earlier today I met with Coach Frost and informed him we were making a change in the leadership of our football program, effectively immediately,” Alberts said. “Scott has poured his heart and soul into the Nebraska football program both as a quarterback and head coach, and I appreciate his work and dedication.”
