Frost’s lack of humility in public related to his Nebraska failures is striking. Frost could have won the day in Texas on Tuesday with a sentence or two to recognize Nebraska, which paid him more than $20 million in salary in addition to a buyout of approximately $15 million.

"Don't take the wrong job," Frost told reporters at Big 12 media days on Tuesday when asked what he learned during his time with the Cornhuskers.

“Don’t take the wrong job, that’s what I learned,” Frost said. “Make sure you’re working for and around good people.”
