South Florida fired football coach Jeff Scott on Sunday, the school announced.
The Bulls (1-8, 0-5 American) are coming off a 54-28 loss at Temple on Saturday, their seventh straight defeat.
"When Jeff came to Tampa in December of 2019, we had high expectations for where he could take our football program," South Florida athletic director Michael Kelly said in a statement. "While he did so many things right, including rebuilding our culture, pushing forward our indoor performance facility, and engaging our community, the on-the-field results fell well below our standards."
Special teams coach Daniel Da Prato will finish the rest of the season as interim coach.
