UCF coach Scott Frost wouldn't take Oregon job even if Phil Knight offered him $8 million a year

Move over, George O'Leary.

Maybe it's already time for UCF to erect a statue of Scott Frost, too.

After all, Frost did something on Thursday that not even O'Leary ever did:

He turned down a big-time job.

That's right, he rejected Oregon because, as he so eloquently said, his mission at UCF has only just begun.

OK, so Frost didn't technically turn down the Oregon job because it was never officially offered and he was never officially a candidate, but he could have been. He could have easily let his good friend Phil Knight – the Nike founder and multi-billionaire Oregon booster – know he was interested in returning to Eugene.
