If you’d asked me three years ago — when Frost was hired coming off his undefeated season at UCF — I would have thought for sure Nebraska by now would have at the very least won a division title. Instead, it’s yet to get to .500. Today, even before knowing who Tennessee hires, I’d give the Vols’ next coach a better shot to win the SEC East in the next three years than I would Nebraska to win the Big Ten West.
