Scott Frost appears to be back where he belongs as the coach at UCF.

Nebraska clearly wasn’t the place.

The former Cornhuskers coach and star player made that very clear Tuesday during Big 12 Media Days.

Frost, who had a 16-31 record over four-plus years in Lincoln, was asked what he learned from his tenure.

“Don’t take the wrong job,” Frost said, via The Athletic’s Chris Vannini.

Frost was fired just three games into the 2022 season. He was as hot as any coach in the country before he took the Nebraska job, leading UCF to a 13–0 season in 2017.

Frost, however, sees himself more as a victim of circumstance than the architect of his own downfall.

“I said I wouldn’t leave (UCF) unless it was someplace you could win a national championship,” Frost said, per Vannini. “I got tugged in a direction to try to help my alma mater and didn’t really want to do it. It wasn’t a good move. I’m lucky to get back to a place where I was a lot happier.”

Frost told Sports Illustrated in June he expected to stay in the NFL, where he worked last season as a senior analyst with the Los Angeles Rams.

However, when Gus Malzahn left UCF for a coordinator job at Florida State, Frost jumped back into the college game.
