On Friday night, former Sports Illustrated reporter and Lincoln native Lars Anderson made waves in Nebraska when he reported that a seven-year, $35 million deal between Nebraska and UCF head coach Scott Frost was “close.”

Frost sits atop the wish list of many Husker fans and after UCF finished off a win over Temple, the former Husker QB shot down rumors of an impending return to Lincoln.

“It’s totally false,” Frost said when asked about the report.

Frost has his team at 10-0, ranked and awaiting a key in-state matchup with USF that could propel the Knights to the American Athletic Conference title game. He has also been the subject of coaching search rumors, with Florida and Tennessee both having vacancies currently, and Nebraska headed towards a second potential losing season in three years.
