PHILADELPHIA _ Central Florida coach Scott Frost batted down a Bleacher Report Tweet Friday night reporting he was close to signing a seven-year deal worth $35 million with Nebraska.
"That's just totally false," Frost said following UCF's 45-19 win over Temple. "I haven't paid any attention to all of these whirlwind rumors and everything and I'm not going to. I got an unbelievable team I'm coaching and I can promise you that no decision has been made."
Frost, a former Nebraska quarterback, has seen his name linked to several coaching vacancies following an impressive season during which the 10-0 Knights have a chance to post the first undefeated regular season in school history just two years after Frost arrived in Orlando.
UCF is Frost's first head coaching position following a successful stint as Oregon's offensive coordinator.
Earlier this week, Frost was named one of 16 semifinalists for the George Munger Collegiate Coach of the Year award.
Lane Kiffin (FAU), Mark Richt (Miami), Paul Chryst (Wisconsin) and Nick Saban (Alabama) are among the semifinalists.
