Coaching career
Frost served as a temporary graduate assistant at his alma mater in December 2002, although he was also on the Green Bay Packers' injured reserve list. In 2006, he was hired as a graduate assistant at Kansas State. He began working as the linebackers coach in 2007 and was promoted to co-defensive coordinator in 2008. His defense finished third in the FCS in takeaways (40) and ninth in scoring defense (17.7 points per game). In addition to rushing defense (107.1 yards per game) and scoring defense, the 12-3 Panthers also led the Missouri Valley Football Conference in rushing defense (107.1 yards per game) and scoring defense.
Frost began as the wide receivers coach for Oregon on January 26, 2009, under head coach Chip Kelly and offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich. Oregon won four straight BCS bowls and three of Frost's wide receivers were admitted to NFL camps during Frost's four seasons as the wide receivers coach.
Following Chip Kelly's move to the Philadelphia Eagles as the offensive coordinator and quarterback, Oregon named Mark Helfrich as the head coach and quarterback, and Frost was named as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on January 31, 2013. Frost was a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2014, which is given annually to the country's top assistant coach. Marcus Mariota, the Heisman Trophy winner en route to a berth in the National Championship game, was mentored by the quarterbacks coach. During Frost's three seasons as Oregon's offensive coordinator, the team posted a 33–8 record and finished every year ranked among the top six in scoring offense and total offense.
Frost was hired as the head football coach at the University of Central Florida on December 1, 2015. Frost sacked longtime UCF head coach George O'Leary and interim head coach Danny Barrett, who took over the Knights after O'Leary resigned after an 0–8 start. The Knights went on to finish 0–12 last year. UCF was turned around by Frost right away. He appeared in six games in 2016, bringing the Knights to the 2016 Cure Bowl, where they lost to Arkansas State. The Knights defied the regular season in 2017, ending 11–0. For their 12th straight victory, the AAC championship game was won by 62–55 in double overtime at home against Memphis. Frost led the Knights into the 2018 Peach Bowl, the school's second-ever appearance in a major bowl. They defeated 7th ranked Auburn in the game, ending their first undefeated and untied season in school history. Following the tournament, the school won the national championship.
Frost accepted the head football coach at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, on December 2, 2017. Despite immediate fanfare surrounding Frost's arrival in Lincoln, which included a state holiday in which Governor Pete Ricketts declared September 1 as "Scott Frost Day," Frost's 2018 Nebraska Cornhuskers' season began with six consecutive losses, the worst start to a football season in history. Scott Frost's first season as head football coach in more than 50 years was 4-8. Frost's teams never played in a bowl game nor failed to participate in the West Division of the Big Ten, never rising above fifth in his first four seasons as Nebraska's head coach. Frost set a record of 5–20 in games decided by 8 points or less, a 10-25 record in Big Ten Conference games, as well as a 0-14 record against ranked opponents. With nine single-digit losses in a season, the 2021 Cornhuskers tied for the first time in college football.
Nebraska Athletics Director Trev Alberts, himself a former player, reported a restructure to Frost's deal on November 8, 2021, putting an end to rumors about the coach's employment status. Frost's 2022 season will be back, but with a salary cut and a lower buyout, Alberts predicted that he would return. Scott Frost dismissed four offensive coaching assistants, including offensive line coach Greg Austin, offensive coordinator Matt Lubick, and quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco on the same day.
On September 11, 2022, Nebraska fired Frost, the day after Georgia Southern stunned the Cornhuskers by defeating them 45-42. Frost owed a $16.4 million buyout. Nebraska would have only owed Frost $8.7 million if he was fired after October 1st, 2022, owing to a provision that resulted from reversing his employment. It was the first time in 215 home games that Nebraska lost by a margin of over 35 points. Mickey Joseph took over as interim head coach after Frost.
