Scott Frost is back where he once made history, returning as UCF’s head football coach. After a challenging 2024 as a senior analyst for the Los Angeles Rams, Frost will replace Gus Malzahn, who left UCF to join Florida State as offensive coordinator. Frost’s return is widely seen as a move to reignite the energy and success he brought to the program during his first tenure.
Scott Frost Rekindling Hope for Knights Nation
Frost initially led the UCF Knights from 2016 to 2017, amassing a 19-7 record and delivering an unforgettable perfect season in 2017. That year, the Knights went undefeated and triumphed over Auburn in the Peach Bowl, finishing as a top-10 team in national rankings. His innovative coaching style and commitment to his players left a lasting impact on the program.
UCF has recently struggled, finishing the 2024 season with a disappointing 4-8 record under Malzahn, including a 2-7 mark in Big 12 play. Athletic Director Terry Mohajir expressed confidence in Frost’s ability to restore the team’s winning culture, citing his passion and leadership as key reasons for his return. “Scott’s love for his players and his vision for this program were pivotal in bringing him back,” Mohajir stated.
While Scott Frost’s recent coaching stint at Nebraska ended without success, his history at UCF has fans optimistic about a brighter future. With a new opportunity to lead the Knights, Frost has a chance to recapture the magic and rebuild the program into a Big 12 contender. As UCF embarks on this new chapter, fans and players alike are eager to see if Frost can once again transform Knight Nation into a powerhouse.
