A person with knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost will be the new head coach at Central Florida.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement was still being finalized.

The former Nebraska quarterback has been an assistant with the Ducks since 2009 and offensive coordinator since 2013.

He will take over a team coming off the worst season in program history. The Knights finished 0-12 and during the season longtime coach George O'Leary retired.

However, just two years ago the Knights beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl to finish 12-1.
