Former UCF Head Coach Scott Frost Joins Los Angeles Rams as Senior Football Analyst

Frost led UCF to undefeated season in 2017
ORLANDO, FLORIDA – Former UCF Head Coach Scott Frost was announced as the new Senior Football Analyst for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
Frost, 49, has been out of a job since 2022 when he was fired at Nebraska after going 16-31 in five seasons.
As the quarterback at Nebraska, he led the Huskers to a 13-0 season and a national title in 1997. He then played five years in the NFL as a defensive back in a career that spanned 59 games.
The former AP Coach of the Year in 2017 took UCF to new heights when he helped lead the Knights to an undefeated 13-0 season and capped it off with a Peach Bowl win over No. 7 Auburn, coached by then-head coach Gus Malzahn, who is now the current UCF head coach.
Frost spent only two seasons at UCF but he took over the Knights team in 2016 and finished 6-7 in his first season after UCF finished 0-12 in 2015, prior to his arrival.
He came to UCF after he was hired from Oregon where he was the offensive coordinator under head Mark Helfrich and a position coach during his tenure.
He joined the Oregon coaching staff in 2009 as their wide receivers coach, a couple years later he became the offensive coordinator for one of the most exciting offenses in college football. The fast paced, no huddle and hurry up offense was revolutionary by spreading out the defense and putting playmakers in space to make a play. The man who gave Scott his first chance at calling plays was head coach Mark Helfrich after Chip Kelly’s departure for an NFL head coaching gig with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013.
His success at developing top notch NFL talent is etched into his development of Heisman Trophy winner, Marcus Mariota, the second overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
