It was not that long ago that Scott Frost helped the University of Central Florida Knights rise to prominence. He quickly became one of the more sought-after coaching candidates in college football and eventually made the leap to Nebraska.

Frost had some success during his stint as the Cornhuskers' head coach, but his time in Lincoln came to a screeching halt early in the 2022 season.

Frost was the 2017 AP College Football Coach of the Year and won the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year Award. He coached the Knights to an undefeated season in 2017, before returning to his alma mater, Nebraska, in 2018.

More than 50 schools have replaced their head coaches since Frost's 2022 departure, including Nebraska. Former Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is Nebraska's current coach. Although Frost appeared to draw interest from some universities, none hired him.
