Scott Frost to leave UCF for head coaching job at Nebraska

Scott Frost is coming home.

Frost, the UCF coach and former Nebraska quarterback, will be named the Cornhuskers' next head coach, according to multiple reports Saturday.

The 42-year-old Frost, a former quarterback who led the Cornhuskers to a share of the 1997 national championship, has led the Knights to an 11-0 record heading into Saturday's American Athletic Conference championship game against Memphis.

He will replace Mike Riley at Nebraska. Riley was fired after three seasons, with Nebraska going 4-8 this season.

UCF made Frost, who was the offensive coordinator at Oregon, a first-time head coach in December 2015 after the Knights finished 0-12.
