Frost’s lack of humility in public related to his Nebraska failures is striking. Frost could have won the day in Texas on Tuesday with a sentence or two to recognize Nebraska, which paid him more than $20 million in salary in addition to a buyout of approximately $15 million.

Asked what he learned from his head-coaching stint at Nebraska, UCF head coach Scott Frost said to not "take the wrong job."

Frost said, “I really want to keep it about UCF,” just a few hours after telling a reporter from The Athletic that he never wanted to take the Nebraska job in the first place coming off a 13-0 season in 2017 that sparked debate about whether the Knights should have had a chance to play for the national championship in the four-team playoff.
