Former UCF coach Scott Frost named Bear Bryant Coach of the Year

HOUSTON -- Scott Frost will have to make room for yet another trophy.

The Nebraska head coach, who led UCF to a 13-0 record and a win over Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, was named the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year on Wednesday, marking his fifth major national coach of the year award.

Frost, who took a UCF team that was 0-12 the year before his arrival to unprecedented heights in 2017 -- including a No. 6 ranking in the final Associated Press poll -- was also awarded coach of the year honors from the Associated Press, the American Football Coaches Association, Home Depot (as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards) and the Football Writers Association of America.
