Scott Frost Returns as UCF Head Coach

Scott Frost is returning to the University of Central Florida (UCF) as head football coach, a position he previously held from 2016 to 2017, leading the team to a 13-0 season and a Peach Bowl victory. After an unsuccessful stint at Nebraska, where he amassed a 16-31 record, Frost spent time away from college football, including a role with the Los Angeles Rams. UCF, now part of the Big 12 conference, hopes to recapture the magic of Frost's first tenure amid a challenging new landscape. Frost has signed a five-year contract through 2029 and acknowledges that rebuilding will take time, emphasizing the need for a strong team culture and strategic recruitment. His return comes after the resignation of former coach Gus Malzahn, who left following a disappointing 4-8 season. Frost expresses excitement to prove his capabilities in a familiar yet transformed environment.
