Scott Frost returning to coach UCF two years after an unsuccessful run at Nebraska
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “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,” UCF athletic director Terry Mohajir said in a release. I believe no one wanted to lead our program more than Scott.” The first turnaround Frost led at UCF made him the hottest coaching candidate in that year’s cycle, and he accepted Nebraska’s offer to return to his alma mater and lead the team he quarterbacked to a 1997 co-national championship. Though the Knights were in the Top 25 each of those years, they never recaptured the magic of their 2017 season under Frost, who was Oregon’s offensive coordinator when UCF hired him after George O’Leary’s 2015 team went 0-12. Frost transferred to Nebraska after two seasons and in 1997 led the Huskers to a 13-0 record and shared national title with Michigan in coach Tom Osborne’s final year.
