Scott Frost’s restructured contract includes a reduction in salary for 2022 and a much smaller buyout if Nebraska fires him after the 2022 season, but it also includes the potential for the fourth-year football coach to earn an extension. 

The updated agreement, which was signed by Frost and athletic director Trev Alberts on Thursday and obtained by the Journal Star via records request, says Frost will have his salary reduced to $4 million, as Alberts confirmed Monday.

It also gives Frost the opportunity to bump his salary back to $5 million in 2023 and beyond if the program achieves certain “metrics” in 2022 that he and the university agree on. Should the Huskers achieve those metrics next year, Frost’s salary will bump back up and the length of the agreement will extend by a year through Dec. 31, 2027.

If he does not achieve the mutually agreed upon metrics in 2022, his salary will remain at $4 million for 2023 and beyond.

The contract does not outline what those metrics are or if they’ve been agreed to at this point. A school spokesman said Friday the metrics referenced in the contract are not part of a record that is subject to an open records request.  

Alberts referenced “very clearly defined expectations” for Frost in a Monday conversation with the Journal Star and Omaha World-Herald, but didn’t say what they were.
