Scott Frost

Scott Frost, the head coach of the University of Central Florida’s (UCF) football team, is a man on a mission. With a perfect 12-0 record and the American Athletic Conference Championship in hand, Frost has lead the Knights to a historic season. However, his journey to success has been a long and winding one.

Frost was born on January 4, 1975 in Nebraska, where he grew up playing football. After a successful high school career, he went on to play quarterback at the University of Nebraska, where he won a national championship in 1997. Following his college career, Frost played in the NFL for six seasons before retiring in 2003.

After a brief stint in the business world, Frost decided to pursue coaching. He got his start as a graduate assistant at the University of Kansas, before moving on to a wide receiver coaching position at Northern Iowa. From there, he worked his way up the ranks, eventually becoming the offensive coordinator at Oregon under head coach Mark Helfrich.

It was at Oregon where Frost made a name for himself as an offensive mastermind. Under his guidance, the Ducks had one of the most explosive and innovative offenses in college football. In 2014, Oregon made it to the national championship game with Frost as offensive coordinator, though they ultimately lost to Ohio State.

In December 2015, Frost was hired as the head coach of UCF. It was a major challenge for the young coach: UCF had gone winless the previous season, and many analysts expected the Knights to finish near the bottom of the conference once again.

But Frost saw something in UCF that others didn’t. He instituted a new culture of discipline and accountability, and focused on building a team that was fast, athletic, and aggressive. He implemented a spread offense that was similar to the one he had run at Oregon, and put an emphasis on recruiting players who could thrive in that system.

It didn’t take long for Frost’s vision to pay off. In his first season at UCF, the team went 6-7 and made a bowl game. It was a significant improvement over the previous season, and it gave Frost and his staff a foundation to build on.

In 2017, UCF has taken the college football world by storm. The Knights have the highest-scoring offense in the nation, led by dynamic quarterback McKenzie Milton. They’ve beaten several Power 5 teams, including Maryland and Georgia Tech, and have dominated their conference opponents.

But Frost’s impact on UCF goes beyond just the W’s and L’s. He’s transformed the program from top to bottom, instilling a sense of pride and purpose in his players and staff. He’s built a culture of excellence that has led to success both on and off the field.

So what’s next for Scott Frost and UCF? The Knights are set to face off against Auburn in the Peach Bowl, and a win would cap off one of the greatest seasons in college football history. After that, it’s anyone’s guess. Frost has been rumored as a candidate for several high-profile coaching jobs, including his alma mater Nebraska.

But for now, Frost is focused on finishing what he started at UCF. He’s a man driven by a desire to succeed, and he’s brought that same passion to his team. UCF football is on the rise, and it’s thanks in large part to the leadership of Scott Frost.
