I hope no one is feeling sorry for Scott Frost. Remember in 1997 he was the Nebraska QB who along with his mother made repeated TV appearances pressuring local poll voters to name Nebraska as national champion, not Michigan. It worked—after many weeks of voting Michigan #1, two Omaha voters flipped their votes, resulting in Nebraska being named national champion in one poll and Michigan in the other.
Scott went to to coach UCF to an undefeated season in 2017. When they weren’t selected for the playoffs, Frost claimed the national championship. The sign “1997 National Champions” remains on the press box of the UCF stadium today.
Frost couldn’t fake it as Nebraska coach and was fired before the end of the 2021 season. There were many reports that Scott didn’t bother to coach Nebraska his last few weeks, golfing in the afternoon and drinking and carousing at night. Nebraska had to pay him the largest buyout in college football history, $16.4 million, just to get rid of him halfway thru the season.
Now just this week Frost and his wife bought a $5.4 million mansion in the ritziest part of Phoenix—the house with five bedrooms and 5 ½ bathrooms has views of Camelback Mountain, a media room, exercise room, massive closet in the primary suite and a butler’s pantry.
Anyone feeling sorry for Frost hasn’t got their head screwed on straight. I didn’t like him in 1997 or any time since. It’s a disgrace that he’s been able to become such a very wealthy man by bamboozling people for decades.
