I mean, honestly, Scott Frost should probably give a lot of money back to the athletic department. According to ESPN, Frost’s salary is $5 million annually.
Yeah, he should probably give about $4 million of that back. He’s getting paid a ton of money to not win football games.
Let’s not forget that Frost is an abysmal 9-15 after two years in Lincoln. That means Frost is being paid more than $1 million for each win he’s had with the Cornhuskers.
I’m not a financial expert, but that doesn’t seem like a great deal for Nebraska. For comparison, Wisconsin’s Paul Chryst made just north of $4 million last year, and won 10 games.
So, Wisconsin is paying $400,000 per win, and Nebraska is paying more than a million. You tell me which is a better deal.
Give it back, Frost! Give it all back. Nebraska should withhold his salary until he actually wins 10 games in a season. If you want to get paid like an elite coach, then you damn sure better get elite results.
So far, Scott Frost hasn’t even come close to doing that.
