LINCOLN — Larry Frost, the father of Nebraska football coach Scott Frost, has died.
Steve Frost, Scott’s older brother, announced their father’s death on Facebook Wednesday night. Larry Frost was 73.
“Today, my good father Larry Frost went home to be with the Good Father and his Son. We love you, Dad,’’ Steve Frost wrote.
Larry Frost played at NU from 1966 to 1969 after a record-setting career in eight-man football at Malcolm. He coached his sons in high school while compiling a career record of 180-52-3.
Larry grew up on the dairy farm his parents managed on the highway between Lincoln and Malcolm. When Scott Frost joined his father last fall in entering the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame together, the NU coach shared that Larry was born with a cleft palate that required about a dozen surgeries before he was 8.
