Frost was fired Sept. 11, the day after a 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern dropped the Huskers to 1-2 this year and 19-31 in Frost’s four-plus seasons.
Mickey Joseph was named interim head coach. Earlier this month, Nebraska athletic director Trev Alberts said Frost would have received a one-year contract extension and his annual salary restored to $5 million if the Cornhuskers had shown improvement, gone 6-6 in the regular season and played in a bowl game.
Alberts and Frost last November agreed to a restructured contract that reduced Frost’s pay to $4 million this year. Harsin, meanwhile, was fired after less than two full seasons, ending a rocky tenure in which the Tigers struggled to compete in the SEC. Harsin went 9-12 overall and 3-5 this year. Auburn has lost four straight games while struggling against Power Five opponents, including a 41-27 loss to Arkansas on Saturday.
Auburn will owe Harsin 70 percent of his remaining contract, which adds up to more than $15 million. Half of that must be paid within 30 days. Harsin was hired away from Boise State in December 2020 and Auburn gave him a 6-year, $31.5 million deal.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
