In Scott Frost, UCF has hired the anti-O'Leary

Merry Christmas, UCF fans.

You got what you wished for Tuesday when Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost was named your new head football coach.

You got the anti-George O'Leary.

Just like that, you've gone from O'Leary, the old-school coach who preached ground-and-pound defense, to Frost, the young, new-age coach who preaches no-huddle, spread 'em-and-shred 'em offense.

In keeping with the holiday theme, you've gone from "The Old Man and the D" to "Frost(y) the O-Man."

“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.
