After another upset loss, this time to Georgia Southern at home, Scott Frost’s time as the Nebraska head coach appears to be coming to an end. Yet, his contract is still big enough to where the Cornhuskers may be hesitant to pay Frost to not coach them.
That means the key date to watch for a potential coaching change is October 1. Thanks to a restructured contract that Frost and Nebraska negotiated last year, Frost’s buyout goes from $15 million to $7.5 million, which is enough of a drop for Nebraska to potentially pull the plug on the head coach.
