Scott Frost Emerges as Potential Candidate for UCF Coaching Job After Gus Malzahn’s Resignation

Following the resignation of Gus Malzahn as the head coach of the University of Central Florida (UCF) Knights, speculation has begun about who might succeed him. One name that has surfaced in the discussions is Scott Frost, a former UCF head coach who led the team to an unbeaten season in 2017.

Frost’s tenure at UCF was marked by significant success, including a faux national championship after the Knights defeated Auburn in a bowl game. He left UCF after the 2017 season to take the head coaching job at the University of Nebraska, where he spent several years before being let go.

Given his previous success at UCF and his familiarity with the program, Frost is being considered as a potential candidate to return to Orlando. Other names mentioned in the mix include Jon Gruden, although no official announcements have been made by UCF regarding the coaching search.

The coaching vacancy at UCF comes at a critical time for the program, and the selection of the next head coach will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. Frost’s experience and past achievements make him a compelling option, but the decision ultimately rests with UCF’s athletic department.
