Matt Rhule defends Scott Frost’s comments about the Nebraska job

Former Nebraska coach Scott Frost alienated some fans recently when discussing the job he did at the school, but he has a defender in his successor.

Frost made headlines when he said he regretted taking the Nebraska job, and that it was the “wrong job” for him to take. Matt Rhule was asked about those comments on Tuesday, and he indicated that Frost was not necessarily wrong.

“I have a ton of respect for Scott, and I’ve always been very empathetic for what he went through because this was his home,” Rhule said. “If you guys fired me tomorrow, I’m just going to go back to Cape May and sit on the beach, go back to where I’m from. But this was his home.

“I know what it felt like to get run out of Carolina. I would say to people, I don’t think I took the right job for me. It wasn’t the right fit. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad job. I will say this: this wasn’t a good job when I got here.”
