December 7, 2024

By Max Lewis, ESPN Staff Writer: UCF hired Scott Frost as its head football coach on Saturday, reaching agreement on a five-year contract through the 2029 season.

The move reunites the Knights with one of their most successful coaches in program history.

Frost led UCF from 2016 to 2017 and led a remarkable turnaround in his second year, guiding the Knights to a perfect 13-0 season and a No. 6 finish in the Associated Press poll. Frost earned national coach of the year honors for that achievement and went 19-7 in his two seasons before leaving to take over Nebraska, his alma mater, in 2018.

“Today marks an exciting reunion for UCF Football as we welcome back Scott Frost, a coach who ignites the spirit and passion of Knight Nation,” athletic director Terry Mohajir said in a statement.
