Go Big Read: Scott Frost has been tough on Riley and other Nebraska football kernels
Scott Frost is not a big fan of former Nebraska football coach Mike Riley, but it makes sense. That and other kernels in today’s Go Big Read.
Nebraska football’s culture over the last few years has not been great. Scott Frost certainly knows this.
The fact that he was willing to call it out explicitly in the last few days should raise some eyebrows. When Frost talks about “the culture” he’s talking about one that involved quite a few of the players he’s coaching right now.
So was he right or wrong to be so blunt about it? It appears there’s at least one writer who thinks it makes perfect sense.
