4. Scott Frost, Nebraska

If you would have told me at the start of the season that Nebraska would be sitting at 0-3 and I would be talking about Scott Frost as a hot seat coach, I would have called you crazy. However, here we are, this is happening.

After bringing UCF to an undefeated season a year ago, everyone was talking about Frost and how he needed to be at a bigger program, how great he would be. Well, here he is at a bigger program and he is the farthest from undefeated that one could be.

Their first game was cancelled due to weather. Since then, they have fallen to Troy, Michigan and Colorado. One of those games isn’t too disappointing even though it was complete domination on the part of the Big Blue. However, the other two — Nebraska what are you doing?

This week, the Cornhuskers take on a struggling Purdue team. They are in a must win situation at this point and it is disappointing to say the least. There were so many people on the Frost train, excited for him to really take on a program as big as Nebraska.

So far, it hasn’t gone well and it’s up to Frost to turn this one around.
