Exactly. That game was 7-0 at halftime when Newcombe started. Then Eric came in and dominated!! Newcombe blows almost as much as your posts.

That one doesn't bother me so much. A better man wouldn't whine about it, but Nebraska football is definitely a fishbowl... it's also why he got paid 5 mil a year here vs. 2 mil at UCF.

It kind of feels like a guy that has a presence to him, and wants everyone to notice him when he walks into a room, but doesn't actually want anyone to talk to him until he talks to people, and doesn't know how to differentiate small town Nebraska talk, from PR media days talk and action.

He wants all of the praise, adulation, extra benefits and money that come with being the “big shot” with none of the work ethic, wisdom and responsibility that comes with being the “big shot”.
He’s basically a woman. He wants all the benefits and privileges with none of consequences and responsibility.

And losing. It wasn’t the boozing, whoring and losing… It was the fans, the administration, the media, Covid, the Refs, the B1G, donor support and just the flat out wrong job that he didn’t really want in the 1st place.
Gawd I hate that stupid chode. Watching him lose will be like opening Christmas presents when I was 8 years old.

Absolutely nailed it.
It's crazy to think about how over the moon I was when we hired him. Then, at the end of his tenure, I knew it wasn't working and that he needed to go, but still hopes for the best for him.
Now, fuck that guy. What a sleeze ball. He will burn out down at UCF now too. They have experienced winning now and won't tolerate his bull shit.

ChatGPT psychological evaluation of Scotty
Frost's identity was deeply intertwined with Nebraska. As an alumnus, former national championship-winning quarterback (1997), and a native son returning to restore glory, his self-image likely became enmeshed with the institutional identity of Nebraska football. This kind of identity fusion creates high emotional investment, but also raises the psychological stakes of failure.
When the program did not succeed under his leadership, the resulting cognitive dissonance—“I am Nebraska. Nebraska failed. Therefore, I failed”—would have been intolerable. A natural defense mechanism is to externalize blame to preserve self-concept.
Many high-level coaches exhibit narcissistic traits, which can include grandiosity, overconfidence in one’s system, and difficulty handling criticism. These traits are not inherently pathological—they often fuel leadership—but they become problematic when:
Frost’s perceived lack of accountability and deflection of blame (e.g., blaming Nebraska’s culture, fans, or administration) may reflect a narcissistic injury—a deep psychological wound when reality fails to align with an idealized self-image. Instead of processing this injury through growth, he may be protecting himself with defensive arrogance or bitterness.
From a cognitive-behavioral perspective, Frost is likely experiencing significant cognitive dissonance: the tension between believing he is a top-tier coach and the reality that his Nebraska tenure was objectively a failure. Instead of adjusting the belief ("maybe I wasn't ready for this"), he may resolve the tension by altering the interpretation of events:
This is rationalization—a defense mechanism that preserves ego by reinterpreting failure as externally caused.
Making snide remarks about Nebraska post-firing may function as a way to regain psychological control over the narrative. If he felt humiliated or scapegoated, sarcasm and dark humor become coping strategies to avoid vulnerability. This behavior is often rooted in shame, and people who feel deeply shamed often go to great lengths to protect themselves from feeling it again.
Returning to UCF may indicate a regression to a psychological safe zone—a place where he once succeeded and felt in control. It may also reflect an attempt at narrative redemption—reestablishing his legacy by returning to the site of his triumphs. Psychologically, this could be an effort to "prove" that the failure was Nebraska's fault, not his—a form of self-vindication.
Scott Frost likely experienced a deep psychological fracture at Nebraska—a clash between self-image and reality. Instead of publicly owning the failure and growing from it, he appears to have leaned on defensive mechanisms: externalizing blame, using sarcasm, and clinging to a personal narrative of victimhood. These are understandable—though not always healthy—responses to public failure, particularly for someone whose identity was so heavily invested in "saving" his alma mater.
Psychological Analysis of Scott Frost
1. Identity Fusion and the Fall from Grace
Frost's identity was deeply intertwined with Nebraska. As an alumnus, former national championship-winning quarterback (1997), and a native son returning to restore glory, his self-image likely became enmeshed with the institutional identity of Nebraska football. This kind of identity fusion creates high emotional investment, but also raises the psychological stakes of failure.
When the program did not succeed under his leadership, the resulting cognitive dissonance—“I am Nebraska. Nebraska failed. Therefore, I failed”—would have been intolerable. A natural defense mechanism is to externalize blame to preserve self-concept.
2. Narcissistic Injury and Defense
Many high-level coaches exhibit narcissistic traits, which can include grandiosity, overconfidence in one’s system, and difficulty handling criticism. These traits are not inherently pathological—they often fuel leadership—but they become problematic when:
- The person cannot admit fault,
- Resents feedback,
- And reinterprets failure as sabotage or betrayal.
Frost’s perceived lack of accountability and deflection of blame (e.g., blaming Nebraska’s culture, fans, or administration) may reflect a narcissistic injury—a deep psychological wound when reality fails to align with an idealized self-image. Instead of processing this injury through growth, he may be protecting himself with defensive arrogance or bitterness.
3. Cognitive Dissonance and Rationalization
From a cognitive-behavioral perspective, Frost is likely experiencing significant cognitive dissonance: the tension between believing he is a top-tier coach and the reality that his Nebraska tenure was objectively a failure. Instead of adjusting the belief ("maybe I wasn't ready for this"), he may resolve the tension by altering the interpretation of events:
- "The administration didn’t support me."
- "The culture was broken before I got there."
- "I was sabotaged."
This is rationalization—a defense mechanism that preserves ego by reinterpreting failure as externally caused.
4. Shame-Avoidance and Defensive Humor
Making snide remarks about Nebraska post-firing may function as a way to regain psychological control over the narrative. If he felt humiliated or scapegoated, sarcasm and dark humor become coping strategies to avoid vulnerability. This behavior is often rooted in shame, and people who feel deeply shamed often go to great lengths to protect themselves from feeling it again.
5. Self-Handicapping and the Return to UCF
Returning to UCF may indicate a regression to a psychological safe zone—a place where he once succeeded and felt in control. It may also reflect an attempt at narrative redemption—reestablishing his legacy by returning to the site of his triumphs. Psychologically, this could be an effort to "prove" that the failure was Nebraska's fault, not his—a form of self-vindication.
Summary
Scott Frost likely experienced a deep psychological fracture at Nebraska—a clash between self-image and reality. Instead of publicly owning the failure and growing from it, he appears to have leaned on defensive mechanisms: externalizing blame, using sarcasm, and clinging to a personal narrative of victimhood. These are understandable—though not always healthy—responses to public failure, particularly for someone whose identity was so heavily invested in "saving" his alma mater.

He brought them out his last two seasons. (Well, 1 season and 3 games) Mostly to shield him from criticism and to show the public he was still “happily married” and there’s nothing to see here…
