Nebraska fired head coach Scott Frost, one day after a humiliating 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern in which the Husker defense gave up 642 yards.
That’s Husker athletic director Trev Alberts who talked about why he made the move now.
The Huskers are 1-2 in Frost’s fifth season as head coach.
Associate head coach Mickey Joseph was named interim coach for the rest of the season. The Huskers play No. 6 Oklahoma at home this week.
Joseph, 54, is the first Black head coach at Nebraska in any sport and among four new members of the staff this season. Like Frost, he is a former Nebraska quarterback, having played from 1988-91.
