Scott Frost Returns to UCF, Regrets Nebraska Move

Scott Frost has returned as head coach at UCF after a challenging five-year tenure at Nebraska, where he posted a 16-31 record and was ultimately fired. Frost has openly expressed regret about leaving UCF after an undefeated 2017 season, saying he felt pressured to accept the Nebraska job and now considers it a mistake. He attributes his struggles at Nebraska to a poor fit and environment, a perspective some critics see as avoiding accountability. Frost faces the challenge of rebuilding a UCF program that finished 4-8 last season and missed a bowl game for the first time since 2015. The Knights will open their season against Jacksonville State and have a high-profile matchup against North Carolina and new head coach Bill Belichick in September. Frost has emphasized his happiness and optimism as he returns to UCF.
