Scott Frost

Scott Andrew Frost (born January 4, 1975) is an American football coach and player, currently as a Senior Football Analyst for the Los Angeles Rams. He was the head football coach at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln from 2018 to 2022. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Frost played college football as a quarterback for the Stanford Cardinal and the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the latter of which he led to a shared national championship in 1997. He played six years in the NFL, mostly on special teams.

After retiring as a player, Frost served as an assistant coach for a number of college football teams, most notably as the offensive coordinator for the Oregon Ducks from 2013 to 2015, where he helped coach Heisman trophy-winner Marcus Mariota and the 2014 Oregon Ducks to a berth in the first college football playoff, where they lost to Ohio State in the national championship game.

Frost was subsequently hired as the head coach at the University of Central Florida (UCF), where he coached for two seasons. After an inaugural season of 6–7 in 2016, Frost's 2017 UCF Knights posted a 13–0 record, winning the American Athletic Conference championship and defeating the Auburn Tigers in the Peach Bowl. The Colley Matrix recognized the 2017 UCF team as national champions, and the school claims a national title despite not receiving an invitation to participate in the college football playoff broadcast by ESPN. The NCAA openly recognizes UCF as co-champs with Alabama in the official record book. This remains Frost's only winning season as a head coach.

In December 2017, Frost accepted the head coaching position at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska. Frost's coaching record at Nebraska was 16–31, with a 10–26 record in the Big Ten Conference, a 5–22 record in games decided by eight points or less, and an 0–14 record against ranked opponents. Nebraska fired Frost three games into the 2022 season after an upset loss at home against Georgia Southern. Provided by Wikipedia
