Since 2023
Delivered a legendary turnaround in his first UCF stint: from 0-12 to a 13-0 national-title season (2017) that made him a coaching star before Nebraska hired him away. Returned to Orlando in Dec. 2024 hoping to recapture that magic, but has gone 9-19 (5-13 Big 12) combined so far, including a losing 2025 season.
