Nebraska was a double-digit favorite ahead of its season opener on Saturday, but a win over Northwestern in Dublin wouldn't have significantly cooled the proverbial seat under Cornhuskers coach Scott Frost.
And considering that the Huskers lost to Northwestern on Saturday, you can only figure Frost's hot seat is only getting hotter.
Heading into Week 0, Frost was the -120 favorite to be the first Big Ten coach fired in odds released by SportsBetting.ag. That's the second-shortest odds among all of the Power 5 coaches behind only Auburn's Bryan Harsin.
Harsin, who kept his job following a February inquiry into his football program, is being offered at -1000 to be the first SEC coach fired this season.
Frost and Harsin are the only two Power 5 coaches with better than even odds to be the first coach let go within their respective conference. The next-shortest odds belong to West Virginia's Neal Brown, who is the +100 favorite to be the first Big 12 coach fired this season. Here's how things stood, heading into Week 0:
