UPDATE AT THE BOTTOM
The storyline this year has been Husker Head Coach Scott Frost and his 12-20 (now 15-27) record for the University of Nebraska. Questions surrounded Coach Frost as he entered his 4th season as Head Coach and if it would be his last.
This year has shown growth on the field for the Huskers, and though it has yet to reflect in the record, many believe that the team is on the cusp of returning to relevance.
However, national pundits don't share the same faith, pointing out the fact that Coach Frost and his team are still making the same mistakes that has plagued the team throughout Frost's tenure.
This has led to many wondering if the program will make a change either during the season or after the conclusion.
On Monday, Athletic Director Trev Alberts ended that narrative, at least for now:
"In my four months at Nebraska, I have closely observed our football team, and had several productive discussions with Coach Frost. Scott has laid out a clear plan and vision for the future of Nebraska Football and has agreed to a restructured contract. I am excited to continue to work together with Scott. We share a love of Nebraska and this football program and want nothing more than Nebraska Football to again compete for championships.
"We all recognize our record has not been what anyone wants it to be. I have been clear that I have been looking for incremental progress, and I have seen that in several key areas this season. Our team has continued to compete at a high level and the young men in our program have remained unified and shown great resiliency, which is an important reflection of the leadership of Coach Frost and his staff."
Also chiming in was Scott Frost after the announcement was made:
"I appreciate the confidence Trev Alberts has shown in me to continue to lead this program. I love this state, this football program and am honored and humbled for the opportunity to serve as the head coach at my alma mater. Our immediate focus is on the two games ahead against Wisconsin and Iowa, and the opportunity in front of us to build momentum heading into the offseason and 2022. I understand we have not won at a high enough level, but I am confident our football program will continue to take steps forward."
