UCF wastes little time in hiring ex-Husker Frost

ORLANDO, Fla. — Central Florida went west to find its next football coach.

The school announced Tuesday that it had hired Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost to take over a program that just finished a winless season.

"Scott is a winner and innovator who has directed one of college football's most exciting offenses at the University of Oregon," UCF athletic director Danny White said in a statement.

The 40-year-old Frost, a Wood River graduate, will be introduced at a news conference Wednesday.

The former Nebraska quarterback has been an assistant with the Ducks since 2009 and offensive coordinator since 2013.
