I've seen some speculation on here about KZ's next move. Because there's so much emotion with KZ I'll offer you a little insight to what I know. The rest of this thread is under assuming he's coaching NCAAF next year and not playing elsewhere (NFL, CFL etc). Most agree his playing time is all but over.
This shouldn't come as a total shock to anybody but there are several offers out there for him. Some GA, some staff. Programs I've heard are interested are: Florida State, Ole Miss, Nebraska. It sounds like there might be even a couple more. My recommendation is to keep an eye on UNL. Frost has to basically rebuild his offensive staff and there could be an opportunity there. Admittedly my direct connections into UCF are a little limited right now as I'm not tied to Malzahn or mostly anybody else currently on staff. I saw someone mention on here has a standing offer from Malzahn -- I wouldn't be surprised if true but I cannot confirm UCF specifically like I can the other programs I mentioned
What we really need to talk about UCF. It's clear the fans view Milton as an heir. Is it smart for Milton to "go home" right away? Milton being exposed to other coaches/programs will be better for his development in my opinion. Frost is a good coach and they have a bond. Nebraska is going to be a good football team next year (hell they were this year, by far the best 3 team win I've ever seen per film). Maybe "buying" on UNL is a smart move right now. Additionally, emotions are high with Milton and UCF right now so it might be wise to wait before going back to Orlando. Then again, he's probably just one of those guys that is always going to have high emotions around him whenever he's around UCF no matter if/when he lands in Orlando again.
I thought I'd try to start the conversation up away from the DG stuff since this will be its own developing situation as I'm quite confident UCF fans, particularly those on here, are watching his every movement. What do ya'll think? I'm assuming the majority want him back in Orlando ASAP but am generally curious how you envision what is believed to be an heir to the UCF HC job's path to be.
