The Nebraska Cornhuskers just fired head coach Scott Frost, and they are looking for someone to bring them back to the glory days.

 Frost was hired in December of 2017, and his time with the Huskers was not what fans predicted. After leading UCF to an amazing 13-0 record in his second season with the team, Huskers fans envisioned him as the savior coach they were looking for.

Scott led the huskers to an embarrassing 16-31 record during his four-year stint with the team. Scott was fired after a loss to FCS school Georgia Southern, in which they fell 45-42. 

In his last press conference as a Nebraska Husker, Scott said, “I appreciate the people that are with us.” This press conference resembled his coaching career with the huskers, disappointing.

Omaha, Nebraska native Tyson Gordon, Tyson said he had high hopes for Scott at first but after year three, the selfish mindset of Coach Frost showed. Tyson went to the powerhouse of the FCS, North Dakota State University, and played there for two years. He then transferred to Morningside University to play basketball in his junior year. Tyson was recruited by Scott, as he led his high school team, Omaha Skutt Catholic, to two state titles. Tyson was glad he does not end up at Nebraska, saying that Frost was not the best at recruiting and staying connected with him throughout his recruiting process.

Nebraska now has its sights set on new prospects as new coaches. Mickey Joseph is at the top of most of the coaching boards, as he is currently serving as the interim head coach for the moment. This is Joseph’s first year with the Huskers, as he was on the LSU staff that won the national championship. He was an assistant coach and wide receivers coach there and was the assistant coach while frost was in Lincoln. 

Joseph seems like the fan favorite, for most Huskers fans, with many believing he can bring the Huskers to the place fans are looking for. We will see how he finishes the year off, taking over the team after Frost’s disappointing start. 

Morningside assistant coach Joel Haveman believes that Mickey can get the job done for the huskers. Haveman is a Nebraska native, and being the assistant basketball coach at Morningside University, knows what it takes to help coach a team. Haveman believes that the transition would be smoothest with someone inside the program and that Mickey already has the trust of a lot of the players. Haveman states that the most important part of coaching is trust between players and coaches, and he says that Frost lacked that. That’s one area that Mickey can thrive. 

Another prospect that is on Nebraska fans’ radar is Urban Meyer. Urban Meyer has not had a coaching job after his stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars in the NFL. Urban Meyer has always been on the winningest programs with his team in college football but has not had the best rep with the media recently. Urban was caught with an underage girl in a bar in Florida and was also caught doing some questionable things during his time with the Jaguars.

For some Nebraska fans, hearing Urban Meyer makes them want to turn their shoulder. For other Nebraska fans, they want Urban and all the baggage and bad press that comes with him. Omaha, Nebraska native, and lifelong husker fan Charlie Fletcher says this about Urban. “This team and this fanbase deserve to win now, and Urban is the only coach that can put us in the position to do so.”
