Scott Frost has UCF on the right course in his first year as a head coach
When UCF director of athletics Danny White hired new coach Scott Frost last winter, it was considered a major coup in college football.
Frost was one of the hottest coaching commodities in the country when he was the offensive coordinator at high powered Pac-12 contender Oregon. On the same day that he received his job offer from UCF, he was courted by at least two other schools. But Frost chose a program that didn’t win a game in 2016 because he could nonetheless see a huge upside -- a school located in Orlando, a destination city in Florida with no professional football team, a gold mine for blue chip high school prospects and a team that had won back-to-back conference titles just a year earlier.
