Arthur fell from an A+ to a C

Gus Malzahn, UCF​

Back then, we said the change in lifestyle would fit Malzahn perfectly. No more living in Alabama's shadow. No more aggravation from Auburn boosters. UCF welcomed him with open arms. This was a comeback at a program that would eventually transition to the Power Four in the Big 12. After some early promise at UCF, the program has leveled out in Year 4. The offense that was so dynamic at Auburn and carried the Knights to the AAC Championship Game in 2022 has slowed. Malzahn is 9-14 in his 23 games and hasn't made a dent yet in the Big 12. He has company; that's the same record as Auburn's Hugh Freeze over that span. There must be something about Auburn. Malzahn's quarterbacks have included Dillon Gabriel, John Rhys Plumlee and KJ Jefferson. Not a bad group. Still, the Knights are only 27-21 in his four seasons. Regrade: C | 2021 grade: A+
