I’m thinking this is our culture. Who cares if we have a Scott Frost or Heupel move on after having success and exciting offenses? Look wheee we are now.

UCF would certainly love to have a “forever coach” who stays and keeps winning, building a consistent legacy of success. However, our history of attracting up-and-coming coaching talent every few years is also a valuable strength that contributes to our program’s unique identity and momentum. When a successful coach moves on to a high-profile position elsewhere, it’s a testament to the strength and reputation of UCF as a launching pad for rising stars in the coaching world. This not only attracts ambitious, skilled coaches who want to make their mark here, but it also enhances our national profile as a program where talent thrives and gains recognition.

Young, innovative coaches often bring fresh energy, adaptability, and modern tactics that keep our program dynamic and responsive to changes in the game. Each coach builds on the foundation laid by their predecessor while adding new ideas, creating a steady cycle of growth that attracts top recruits who want to play for a forward-thinking, exciting program.

Ultimately, while having a long-term coach is ideal, UCF’s proven ability to launch coaches to powerhouse programs speaks volumes about our culture and the quality of our football program. It allows us to continually attract fresh talent, strengthen our winning culture, and keep pushing the program forward—showing that UCF is a destination where champions are made.

Let’s go back to that. No?
