Link: http://espn.go.com/college-football...orida-knights-hire-scott-frost-football-coachORLANDO, 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.
Central Florida has hired 36-year-old Danny White as its next athletic director.
"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.
Frost, 40, 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. This will be his first time as a head coach.
He takes over a team coming off the worst season in program history. The Knights went 0-12, and during the season, longtime coach George O'Leary retired.
It was an abrupt fall for a program that just two years ago beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl to finish 12-1. The Knights were coming off back-to-back American Athletic Conference titles entering this season.
I like this move. I enjoy seeing a coach taking a position with a project ahead of him, with the goal to rebuild an entire program, that's exciting.
