Overview

  • He told The Athletic at Big 12 media days that he “didn’t really want to accept” the Nebraska position and regrets leaving Orlando after 2017.
  • Frost went 16-31 over five seasons at Nebraska, including a 10-26 mark in Big Ten play, before being dismissed three games into the 2022 season.
  • During his first UCF tenure he inherited a winless team in 2016 and led the Knights to an unbeaten 2017 season and a claimed national title.
  • After serving as an analyst under Sean McVay with the Los Angeles Rams in 2024, Frost was rehired by UCF in December 2024 on a five-year contract.
