After an unforgettable two-year run that saw the UCF football program rise to national prominence, Scott Frost is coming back home. Known for sparking the “Charge On” spirit and guiding UCF to its first perfect season, Frost re-signed with UCF for a five-year contract through the 2029 season.
“Today marks an exciting reunion for UCF Football as we welcome back Scott Frost, a coach who ignites the spirit and passion of Knight Nation,” says Terry Mohajir, vice president and director of athletics. “Scott’s love for his players, along with his leadership, enthusiasm and vision, were pivotal in making the decision to bring him back to UCF. Throughout this national search, his passion for UCF was clear. I believe no one wanted to lead our program more than Scott.”
Frost originally served as UCF’s head coach from 2016 to 2017, culminating in a historic 13-0 season, an American Athletic Conference title, and a national championship that captured the country’s attention. In his final game, he guided UCF to a victory over No. 7 Auburn in the 2018 Peach Bowl, securing the program’s first undefeated season in school history.
He posted the greatest two-year turnaround in college football history at UCF, inheriting a 0-12 team in 2015 and taking the Knights to a perfect season in his second and final year, when he was named the national coach of the year. Since then, he has continued to lead an impressive career, from coaching the University of Nebraska to consulting for the Los Angeles Rams. Donorship is critical for successfully attracting and recruiting top-level talent like Frost. Our players and our staff are able to achieve their greatest success
