A Candid Chat: Matt Rhule and Scott Frost Talk Football and Life
Matt Rhule: Hey Scott, it’s been a while! How’s life treating you these days?
Scott Frost: Hey Matt! Life has been a roller coaster, but you know how it is in our line of work. How about you? Carolina treating you well?
Matt Rhule: You bet! The NFL is a different beast, man. Every day is a new challenge. How’s everything going back at Nebraska?
Scott Frost: It’s been tough, no doubt. We’re working hard to bring the program back to glory. The fans here are incredible, though. They keep us motivated. How are you handling the transition from college to pro ball?
Matt Rhule: Honestly, it’s been a huge learning curve. The speed, the size of the playbooks, the personalities—everything’s on another level. But I’m loving every bit of it. Any big plans for the upcoming season?
Scott Frost: We’re focusing on getting back to basics—discipline, fundamentals, and playing as a cohesive unit. Plus, we have some exciting new recruits. What’s your strategy to keep those pros motivated?
Matt Rhule: It’s all about building relationships and trust. These guys know their stuff, so it’s about creating the right environment for them to excel. Plus, I’ve been leaning on my college experiences to bring some fresh perspectives. Speaking of experiences, do you ever miss playing?
Scott Frost: Oh, absolutely! There’s nothing like the thrill of being on the field. But coaching has its own rewards. Seeing the guys improve and knowing you had a part in it—that’s priceless. What do you think is the biggest difference between coaching in college and the NFL?
Matt Rhule: The level of detail and preparation required in the NFL is insane. There’s just no margin for error. Every mistake gets magnified. But I do miss the recruiting aspect of college ball, that personal touch. Any advice for a guy trying to balance the pressure and family life?
Scott Frost: Balance is key, but it’s easier said than done. I try to make the most of my time with family when I’m not on the clock. It’s about quality, not quantity. Besides, our loved ones are our biggest supporters, right?
Matt Rhule: Couldn’t agree more, Scott. At the end of the day, their support is what keeps us going. Anyway, it’s great catching up with you. Let’s make sure we don’t wait too long before the next chat!
Scott Frost: For sure, Matt! Good luck this season. Let’s both aim for some wins and fun along the way. Talk soon!
Matt Rhule: You got it. Take care, Scott!
